FROM Y COUNTY.

We clip the following from the Silver
Bend Reporter:
.FRoN MAuuorH.-County Surveyor
| Tapliabuo has just returned from a trip
TO the western border Of the county,
and brings intelligence of the discovery
Of rich gold-bearing lodges in Mammoth
District, which at present absorb the
attention Of the entire population oil
that section. Mr.. Taglisbue visited the
locality and brought from there some
exceedingly rich specimens OF gold,
bearing quartz. The lodes arc situated
| about three miles due West of the town,
aud two miles North Of tho Wellington
road, upon tho western slope OF the
range Of mountains. They occur IN
c~ryStalized limestone or marble, MS
viewed from tho surface, and number
about q half dozen thus far discovered.
| They are of good size. and all show
gold in abundance. Tho specimens
shown US wero worry rich in gold INT the
stone also carried considerable iron orc,
which impaired to tho mass n dull, red
| dish color. This discovery has infused
new life to Mammoth, and given hope
| of its revival and ultimate resurrection
from q dull mining camp to a place OF
Importance and business activity.
MANHATTAN DIsrRIcr.-Last week Mr..
John II. Boalt, Chris. Bauer, and 9th
ers, spent several days in examining the
mining property Of the Ophir Company
in Manhattan District. They all express
favorable opinions Of its worth, and
have no doubt Of its future Importance
as a mining district. 1t is very prob
able that tho company will commence
operations there this Fall. The devel-
opment Of Manhattan and other districts
surrounding us, Is what We hope to see
commenced forthwith, rs they will not
only prove profitable and contribute
largely to tho bullion product of the
country, but also add much to the i'm
portanco of the capital town-Belmont.
A small lot Of the ore from the 0phir,
amounting to $500 pounds, WAS recent
" sent to Austin for reduction, and
| yielded ut the rate of 1922 81 of silver
per ton. We believe this is the first lot
ever tested by mill process from that
district, and is certainly encouraging.
II was reduced at the Manhattan mill.
FROM IoSE.-We learn that Cammack
is now ~overhauling and placing in com
plote order tho Pioneer mill ut lone, and
that il will soon be set at work under
the direction Of competent managers.
This is tho best possible movement that
could be inaugurated for that place, and
will make lone once more q lively town.
Within a short distance of the mill there
are many mines from which hundreds
of tons Of good paying ore can be taken
at q trifing cost, and now that people
can get their rock reduced %cheaply, and
at a mill in close proximity, they will
60 to work, get it out, have it converted
into bullion and place it in circulation.
Many are already at work thore, and
much good ore is already upon tho sur
face ready for reduction. lone, il is
predicted, will be the liveliest town in
Nye county during this summer.
BULLION SulPuEST.-Mr. N. H. Bright,
the Financial Agent Of the Combination
Company, yesterday forwarded through
Paxton & Co. to the Company's Treas
urer in New York, George Goodyear,
Esq, % bars Of silver bullion weighing
"a 200 ounces. The bullion averages
about $50 fine.
Hor CREEK DIsrRIor.-Gillit 4 Clark
have now reached q depth upon the Wy
oming, near the mouth of Rattlssnake
Canyon, of about 40 feet and are work.
ing night and day. After n depth of
so feet has been attained they will drift
| across the lode to ascertain its width.
They now havo ovor 100 tons Of
good milling ore rcady for reduction.
About one mile north Of Rattlesnake
Canyon the Silver Mountain Company
is sinking upon the Hector lode, which
exhibits rich orc and the prospects are
exceedingly favorable. The small ten
stamp mill in hot Creek Canyon will
probably be running within ton days,
and a telegram has been received from
the East stating that the Old Dominion
Company would soon rebuild their mill.
