Virginia Miners Union, has, since hi;
residence in White Pine, been a val.
ued correspondent Of ours, giving good,
reliable, practical Information on al
subjects connected with that interesting
locality. He has heretofore been very
judiciously cautious about advising PEG
pie to rush thither u%nprcpared to en-
counter the rigorous climate aud neces'
sarily limited and inadequate accommo.
dations Of White Pine, but never has
had a word to say against the true mer.
its of that locality. Experienced as he
was in mining matters, he could not fail
to see and acknowledge that there WAS
. richer orc there and easier worked than
in any locality he ever saw, and the
only question TO his mind was the ex-
tent of those wonderfully rich deposits.
That, Of course, remains still the main
question. He has always been right in
advising people to wait until the severity
OF the winter was past, and he is equally
right now in saying that it is u good
place to go and take chances in ut the
present time. He says, of course, that
all cannot get rich, but the best oppor-
t~unities are there offered of any other
locality he knows of to secure II goodly
portion of the wealth all men so coyet.
Under date of March l2th, writing from
Treasure City, he gives us the following
items
Tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany set up heavy poles to-day, this
evening strung their wires and very
shortly we shall be in momentary COM

We have no highwaymen here,
however, but il would be unhealthy for
them, because | believe when the ma

Yesterday inside of 20 hours, aud the
Pacific Union Express pony arrives
daily at IL o'clock, several hours
ahead Of all opposition. This White
Pine changes tho performances OF men,
things, geology and mineraloSy, as
well As of express companies, virtue
brings its own reward, and White
Pine has Il fortune for every man who
r~ejoices in her prosperity. The Blais-
dell troupe OF Swiss Bell Ringers have
leased new hall ; the boys all wan, to
know when they are going TO have 4
mclodeon. Lumber of the kuotty mean
kind is scarce at $3.50 per thousand ;
why don't some of your enterprising
folks ship some good lumber to us?
There are so many Gold Killers arriv-
ing now that | can't begin to keep run
of them: old familiar faces that | left
behind me last fall now appear newly
before me every day. You never saw
the like for both old and now faces.
There is enough rock in sight to make

had found an immense ledge Of it 20
miles south of this place. His only
motive in coming back to Treasure was
to repair the injury he had done he
was " not the man they took him for"
and all that sort Of thing. Offers, he
would receive none, except from the
men ne so deeply wronged. The pros
ecutiag attorney, Bishop, was light
on him, and he should have an interest
in the big thing and to further show
his gratitude, Doc Boone, Bishops
partner, should have II full interest also.

We had a ease of smallpox in Trca-

inquiring for the pest house, but no
body would wait long enough to tell
him, until Bob Hannegan hearing OF 1t

fellow to the pest house near Hamilton.
There is considerable excitement here
relative to rich rock discovered in the
Deep Creek Mountains, 10 miles east OF
this place, and hundreds have gone
thither from here. There are no livery
stables in this section, and the tortu-
nate owner Of a horse, in the hustle in-
cideu. to n new discovery, receives
promises as liberal ~ ever fell from the
lips of the immortal Richard for the
use Of the animal. This Is obviously
