SALE OF MINING GRoUSD. We learn authori-
tatiyely that sale of eight hundred and twenty
seven feet in the Mountain City mine, in Cope
district has been made to Mr.. Davis, of San

per foot, amounting in all TO S2O,G75, cash
down. The fortunate owners, who found this
ledge on the 18th of July last, and who now re-
ceIyc this amount for their interests, are old
pioneers of Humboldt county, namely: Wills.
Fhppin, VI. Palmer, Jack. Frost and Lew.
Vanawken. There are 600 feet III the lOca-
ton, and the balance of the owners can take
more than twenty-five dollars per foot for their
interests if they want to sell. The coin was
paid out yesterday by the banking house of
T. NJ. Eder a Co., in ElkO. This, we consid-
er, pretty good for men who, but "A few months
ago, were struggling i'll poverty i'll the noun

BULL Rus MINING DIsrRIcr.-On Monday
last, we had the pleasure of n call from W. l..
Grover, one of the pioneers Of Bull Run dis
trict, and from him received some interesting
information concerning that promising mining
camp, which is beginning to attract large
share Of attention in mining circles. 1t is sit
uate seventy five miles in northerly direction
from Elko, and some eighteen miles south
westerly from Cope district. This district WAS
organized on the 2lst of June last. Up to the
present time there has been some two hun
bred locations made. Its representative claims
are the Porter Western, Franklin, Central Pa
cifc, Metropolis, Coral, Union Pacific, Fair
view and Josephine. These lodges are all
regular in their course and dip, and come to
the surface with wonderful distinctness. From
most of them ore has been taken abroad in
quantities and thoroughly tested by pan pro-
cess, giving in every instance the most salts
factory results. 4 quantity of ore from the
Porter, iately worked by the English mill at
Reno. returned S2j5 per ton. There is an
abundance of timber III the district, and of
sufficient size for any purpose, while in the
canyons good sized creeks flow the year round.

Grover, Durfee x Co., left here yesterday 10
put in the Winter ut work upon the Porter.
They intend keeping IA pack train constantly
employed i'll freighting ore to this point, from
whence il will be sent to Reno for treatment.

GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIGHTHILL expects 10
visit your city soon, and for the benefit of
the suffering / wish 10 say, through you,
TO your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DIR.
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded by skill, science and a
comprehensive experience
Indeed, DIR. Lighthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the eOun-
try and had baffled the skill of all. DR..
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies as
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. LighthilPs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to DIR. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
