Districts, which promise a, no very dis
Ian, future day to rival even the rich
bullion yield OF our own prolific and
o~xb,us,less Comstock. They nre as
ve, no, fully developed, but their time
* coming. Among the best Of them is
Ho, Creek District, in Nye county, some
forty miles southeast Of Belmont, on the
road to Pahranagat. We were shown
some very rich silver ore from there
yesterday, by Mr.. L. \. Ross, OF this
town, who has just returned from a
visit to that locality. Tho mines OF
Hot Creek District are situated on Rat
tlesnake Canon, u tributary OF hot
Creek, and were discovered ABOUT a
rear o The lodges are well defined,
running nearly northeast and south
west, and are from four 10 twenty fcet
in width. The ore is of both the sui
phuret and chloride character, and in
some Of the pieces shown us, native
silver was plainly visible; the ore all
has to be roasted preparatory to milling.
There are two mills in the District, re-
Gently completed and running; one of
ten stamps and the other of FIVE stamps.
Fifty dollars per ton is charged for mill
ing the ore, but it would seem TO pay
we'll enough even ut that price, for the
Philadelphia Company, owning the ten
stamp mill, after II run OF only about
two months, recently declared q divi-
dend of $40, 900 for the benefit OF the
fortunate stockholders. Several tons
worked in Austin yielded on III average
over four hundred dollars to the ton.
The Distric, is apparently but little
~prospectcd as yet, the deepest shaft
tina, OF the Old Dominion Company
only being about l2O feet deep. The
country is rather Of a rough, mountain
Gus character, but is well wooded with
the hes, Of nut-pine, and watered by
any number of springs, Of both hot n
cold water. The own Of Hot Springs
is situated in the immediate vicinity OF
the mines, and although only some four
months old, already contains a popuia-
ton of nearly two hundred people, in
cludiug several families. The Winter
there is not so severe rs it is here, the
snow not being as plentiful. Should
the future of Hot Springs District turn
out half rs bright rs 1t promises ut
present, we may expect numerous ship
meats of bullion bars from there before
next Winter.
SEVERE MINING AccIDENr.-About }
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon q severe
acciden. occurred ct the Lady Bryan
nine, Flowery District. On the east
side Of the immense body Of groupings
Of the ledge a large face or bluff, n
hundred feet or more in hight, has been
made in working; and from the top or
side of this quite n large mass fell,
landing in the midst of the woskmen be-
low. Frank Beuham, the man most in-
iured, had his left leg broken in three
places between the knee and hip, n
his collar bone dislocated. Two others
were badly bruised, but had no bones
broken, and q fourth escaped almost un-
sca.hed. All those hurt are now in COM
Portable quarters at the DeLand mill,
where they are receiving all due surgical
attendance at the hands of DR.. Bryarly.

ORGANIZATIONS. Surveyor General SAT-

SwEEyY GUARD. Our jolly Irish
bows of the Sweeny Guard yesterday
moved their Armory into Theater Hall,

ting the new rendezvous. The gun rack,
with its sixty bright, bristling rifles and

set of officers next week, and intend
keeping up a strict military discipline

them success.
