And from tho ReueiHc Of tho Sd:
A CHARACTERISTIC SPECIMEN. Per-
hans the finest specimen of tho precious
| silver ores contained in Lander hill hns
lust been obtained from the Buel North
Star mine, and may DO seen Mt the
clearinghouse of John A. Paxton q
| Co., in this city. AS n characteristic
specimen it surpasscs anything en-
brnccd in the splendid collection scnt
from this city to the Paris Exposition.
This superb specimen measures twenty
nine inches in length and fourteen and
n half inches in width, and is free from
the base metals. Over the face there
are numerous patches of silver fablcrz
holding slight in~cruStations Of copper
p~yritos, and the entire surface is studded
with beautiful crystNlizcd crystals OF
polybasitc. Here and there arc little
clusters Of the stecl-hucd crystals Of
stephanits. Near tho lower side of the
broad face and toward n end, there is
n brilliant cluster Of small ruby crys-
tails, which constitutes q perfect gem.
On the sido of the piece the granite is
intermingled with tho quartz and is full
of metal. This specimen docs not show
the full thickness Of the vein, rs on the
footwall there is q stratum of several
inches Of the same quality Of rich ore
lying between this thin streak OF granite
and quartz and the casing. We learn
that this handsome and valuable speci-
men was obtained in the tunnel which
was run from the incline into the hill in
search of the vein, where it was discov-
cred larger and richer than ever.
SuuMER SYow.-On this morning OF
the Sd day of June, the first month OF
Summer according to the received no.
ton, snow fell in this city to the depth
of three inches. Not only that, but
since I o'clock A. N. there have been
thirteen snow sqalls, varying in dura-
ton from five minutes to fifteen min
utcs, and the intervals were streaked
slightly with CLEANS Of sunshine. It
would appear that the weather clerk
had turned the wheel several spokes
ahead of the season, leaving US literally
out in the cold. At this moment, B
o'clock r. M.-the reader will bear in
mind that it is Juno-the mercury stands
Mt As degrees.
PRoDIGIoUs This afternoon Mr.. E.

of silver weighing III ounces, s0i fine,
and valued at $50 Sc, which was pro.
duccd from only twenty pounds Of chlo'
ride ore obtained from the Keystone
mine in the district of White Pine. The
ore was smelted in this city by Mr.. ]. R.
Murphy. The Keystone is situated on
Treasure Hill, about three quarters OF q
mile south Of tho Hidden Treasure mine,
and its owners regard it rs fully equaI
to the richest gold placer ever dis
covered.
JUDGMENTS AFFIRxED.-The causes OIL
Tho State vs.. Manhattan S. N. Co.,
California State Telegraph Company
and the United States Pacific Telegraph
Company for the recovery of delinquent
taxes, which had been decided for the
plaintiff in tho District Court for thi.
district, have been affirmed by the Su.
preme Court Of the State, as we learn
from Mr.. H. ~Haycnbaum, the District
Attorney, who received the information
from Mr.. Robert NJ: Clarke, the Attor.
ney General. In the case first named,
the tax on the proceeds Of the mines fol-
tho first quarter of 1867 was refused on
tho ground. that the assessment was i'm
properly made under tho amended law
of the State instead Of that which was
In operation during the quarter for
which tho tax was assessed and fur
Their, on the ground that the lovy was
improperly made by tho Board Of Coun-
ty Commissioners. 1t was regarded as
a test case, and this decision by the
upper Court will settle about q dozen
others, which will bring n considerable
amount into the treasury.
PREPARING FOR WoRx.-It will BIO OBJ
served from his advertisement headed
" To Let" in the proper column, that
J.. s. Slauson, agent of the New Pass
property, Is preparing for extensive
work. The property consists Of a num-
Der of lodges Of gold bearing quartz.
the chief Of which are the Superior and
tho Gold Belt series. The former is a
large, we'll defined vein Of excellent
ore, as shown by several working tests
in tho mill aud the latter consists OF
several small but apparently good veins,
situated together in a hill, all Of which
may be tapped and developed through q
short tunnel. Tho work contemplated
by tho proposed contract will pretty
thoroughly explore and develop the
character of the property.
