NEW Excrrrxlsr.-A new e1citemen.

has broken out in regard to q new dis
trict recently discovered 80 miles south
east of Wilson District, and located be
tween the east and middle Walkers
The district was discovered by ex-Lieu
tenant-G Governor Crosman and Captain
Pray, Of Carson. Some of the or
was brought in from the new mines an(
tested, giving q return Of S3l2 per ton
The ledge is reported to be II fee
wide, and composed Of orc Of thil
character. There has been q genera
stampede Of all who were foot-loos,
from Pine Grove. The news spread
through Dayton like wild-6re, and bu'
little else was talked Of among the min
ing classes. Mr.. H.. F. Swssey, who
runs a fast-freight line to Wilson Dis
trict, informs US that things are looking
up. The mines are prospecting even
better than was anticipated. Tho ledge
in the Wilson mine has been tapped, BY
the short tunnel, at a considerable
depth, aud found to contain excellent
ore. Many Of the other mines are pros
pecting we'll. New discoveries are be-
ing made daily, and from present indica.
tions Wilson or Pine Grove District will
soon become one Of considerable i'm
portance. In fact, its prospects are OF
the most fiatteriug nature, and tina,
there will be q rush to that region oil
country this summer, is beyond all
doubt. Mr.. Swasey says justice has not
been done the district, for the reason
that it is located too nea Virginia and
Gold Hill. We saw two letters from
Mr.. T. W. Abrams, former editor Of the
Dayton Sentinel, and who is now q resi-
dent of that district. Mr.. Abrams writes
that no has the utmost confidence in the
mines of that country says times begin
to look lively, and mining operations
are starting up briskly. The snow in
the mountains is melting away rapidly,
and a week more will suffice to clear the
country Of it, when prospecting will
commence in earnest. People are be-
ginning to flock in already-some with
wagons, some on horses, and others on
foot, with their blankets on their backs.
The best route to Pine Grove is by way
of DAYTON and Fort Churchill at this
time, but as soon as the snow is gone
the shortest and best route will be by
way of Dayton and Hot Springs, going
up Ell Dorado Canon. This route is
many miles nearer than any other, and
Il mos. excellent road all the way.
SPECIAL MEETING OF VIRGINIA ALDsR-
NEN.-A special meeting of the Board
was held yesterday afternoon at Q o.
Mayor Piper stated his reasons
for calling the mectiug-being to take
to prevent the spreading OF
the smallpox, which has lately made
its appearance in the city. He said that
the building which had been secured as
a hospital was found to be too small,
and that it would be necessary to find
another more commodious, and, at the
same time, as far from the city as pos
sible. He said that there were then but
two patients in the building lately rent
ed, but that two more would be taken
out last evening, and that there were
others that must be removed
from the city to-day oil Tomorrow. AS
the building would not accommodate
than nine patients, he thought it
be well to consider o proposition
made by the authorities Of Gold Hill for
the two interpretations to join and pur-
chase a building to be used as q pest
house for both towns. The Mayor was
appointed a committee Of one to consult
with the Gold Hill authorities, with full
power to act in the premises, either by
or in conjunction with the peo-
pie of Gold Hill. The Mayor stated
that he had secured the services Of the
owner Of an express wagon, who, for
$40 per day, would devote his whole
time to carrying patients, freight or in
doing whatever teaming might be neccs-
sary in carrying on the hospital. A
report was circulated on yesterday,
to the effect that nine persons died OF
smallpox the day previous, in Virginia.
No such thing.
