A DEEP MINE.-The readers of the
News will remember that a few days
ago, we published a telegram from SUI
perintendent Low, of the Kearsarge
mine, announcing a shipment Of ll,l6o
ounces Of bullion in bars to Virginia
city, being the first shipment since the
mill and mine were started up in Sep
TENDER, The bars arrived here safely
on Saturday evening, and were the pro-
duct of forty tons Of ore, instead oi
seventy, as we were led to announce
the ore, too, being second class. A
sample of ore from the lower tunnel was
also received, which was yesterday
assayed by Leopold Kuh, the assayer In
Virginia city, and it yielded at the rate
of S27S 20 per ton. The lower tunnel
of the Kearsarge mine is twelve hundred
feet below the groupings, which makes
it the deepest silver or gold mine yet
developed on the Pacific coast. Here,
then, is u mass Of mineral deposit,
Welding in its lower level at the
rate of S273 per ton, OF twelve hun
bred feet in height to its groupings
on the surface, several tons Of which
have yielded as high as $500 per ton !
Located as the Kearsarge mine IS, on
the side Of a high, steep, mountain, the
chances are that another tunnel, not
over II quarter of u mile long, would
fierce the ledge at a depth Of eigh-
teen hundred feet. But even allowing
that the ledge should "peter out at
the lower. tunnel, there is still u rich
and w~ell-de6ned ledge of ore Of twelve
hundred feet in heighth, and eighteen
hundred feet long-the surface crop
pings indicating eieren different and dis
tinct lodges, running parallel for a con-
siderable length, and all concentrating
at what is known among miners as II.
.s chimney" The Kearsarge mine is
decidedly promising.
REV. Mr.. EARLE's SuccEssoR.-Elder
Knapp, the r~evivalist, is on his way to
his Coast, rs an announced successor
to Rev. Mr.. Earle, and in his programme
for this part of the world is appointed
to visit our county. Elder Knapp has
been for many years noted in his line,
and has many warm friends and deter
mined enemies AS any man OF his class.
His style is very different from that Of
Mr.. Earle, his expressions being'otten
uncouth if not absolutely coarse, and
his e%xhortations are always more forci-
BILE than elegant in language and man
ncr. at is easier for u Goldfish to climb
= BARRIERS pole, tail foremost, with a
loaf of bread under each fin, than tor Il
Universalist to get into Heaven, is one
Of his characteristic expressions. he
has always been very successful IN ms
efforts, causing a great religious excite
ment wherever he has held II series OF
meetings, and his friends claim that he
has been the means of bringing thou
sands Of sinners to repentance and the
way of salvation. The Elder is q pros
porous farmer, owning n large and val
liable property on the west bank oil
Rock River, between Rockford, Illinois,
and Betoit, Wisconsin, aud has not been
regularly settled AS n Pastor OF any
Church for many years.
