FRon WHITE PINE DIsrRIcT.-A cor.
respondent of tho Reese River ReueiH.
has the following concerning the new
mines in White Pine District:
am under the impression that there arc
some very valuable mines in the district, in.
GLIDING the Hidden Treasure, Aurora, Ice.
berg, Genesec, Midas and Eberhardt. The
finest body Of high grade surface ore ever
seen east Of the Comstoek 10 now being
taken out Of the South Eberhard. Think
Of a mass Of ore cigtcsn to twenty feet wide,
which, with only a few pieces Of second class
rock thrown aside, will easily pay $1,000 to
the ton in tho mill! An open cut four TO
FIVE feet deep is being carried along the
ledge, and pieces OF horn silver and stete.
feldite, so largo that n Of them Is more
than the strongest man can lin, are being
dug out from day to day. The Big Smoky
Company had an agent hero . few days ago,
who was 20 generous as to offer $4,000 for
this mine, but as the owners had at least
5000 worth Of ore ready for the mill and
$4,000 worth more in actual sight, they nat
urally made fun Of such an offer. The Key
stone ledge, parallel with the Eberhardt, 10
yielding an equally fns quality Of ore, but
It Is not over a quarter the width Of the lat
ter. The Hidden Treasure has been greatly
exaggerated. It Il q rich and valuable mine,
but Il has no twenty feet Of high grade ore,
whole, White Pine District (there IL no such
place as Pleasant Valley District in oxist-
ence now) has more promising lodes than
any other district I have seen. Judging
from the slight amount Of work which has
been done, some Of the veins 20 down nearly
perpendicular, though on the table land Of
Treasure Hill there are deposits Of quartz
which seem to DO quits fat. The perma-
nent value Of the mines IL to be determined
only BY their future development, but there
10 ore enough near the surface to juntify a
considerable expenditure to ascertain what

PERILs OF EDITING A FRONTIER PAPsn.
The editor Of the owyhee Avalanche,
under the head Of Agreeable Bush
ness" gives the following incident oil
q newspaper editors life on the borders
Of civilization +:
o, tho felicity Of editing a paper! Charm
ing, agreeable, in horn! Fascinating, at
t~ractiye occupation, but difficult to appre-
ciate. How nicely and smoothly n gets
along without any " onpleasantness" For
instance. In 4 recent issue We referred d.
rectly to 4 rutian known As Capt. Prescott,
and incidentally to . guerrilla named Al.
Cage. We did this in Justice to ourselves
and the community at large. The other day,
while quietly seated in our sanctum, taxing
our brain for "more copy" in response to
the everlasting cry Of the devil, the two
above named villains, one Of them armed
with q Ratchet and the other with q bowie
knife Of large dimensions, made q violent at
tack upon our person. The alternative was
TO fght or die. We accordingly seized q large
knife, two feet long, used for cutting paper,
and bled our assailants pretty freely. They
sued for mercy, we spared their worthless
lives and told them TO dust, and they got up
and busted. We should take this occasion
to state that II ever they or any one else at
tack u with the intention Of doing us bodily
harm, we will shoot them dead In their tracks
or cut their threats from ear to ear.
