BALDWIN DisrRIcr.-This new mining
district is situated at the west side of
Walker Lake, and contains some very
promising lodges, apparently rich in the
precious metals, some OF the ore assay
ing rs high as 5000 to the ton in silver
and gold-principally silver. It also
contains a sufficient quantity Of lead to
flux it and make it work easy. The
district is some seventy.fve or eighty
miles from here, and was discovered
about a year ago, but the finder, Of it
were too poor to do much toward it's
development, until now they have inter-
ested men of capital, residents in Gold
Hill and Virginia, with them, and
considerable work is being done.
They have sunk several shafts, the
deepest Of which is some sixty feet,
finding plenty of ore Of q very
good and encouraging character, .
quantity Of which will soon be brought
TO Virginia for treatment. The company
propose erecting smelling furnaces at
their mines Immediately, in order to
work the ore in that way, and this fall
will try what it will work by regular
milling process. There are some eight
or ten of these lodges, running parallel
with each other, about northeast and
southwest, and they average from three
10 seven feet in width. Should they
hold out as good as they promise, to
any great depth, those mines will prove
to be among the permanent institutions
of the country.
SAVAGE MISE.-The Savage Company
have struck a very promising deposit in
their sixth level, in which they find
a considerable amount Of milling ore.
Although the great mass Of the ore is
Of q grade too low to pay for milling at
the present cost, it is hoped that it may
grow richer as it is further developed.
II is about one hundred feet further
north than where they have lately bad
any ore in the mine, therefore it is look
ed upon as a very promising Indication.
