WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the News Of February 6th.l
ELEo.-This is the name Of the pro.
posed new county which meets with SO
much favor with our Legislature. We
learn by the reports from that body that
the bill introduced to organize this
county is likely to pass. Fearing that
our readers may not know its geograph.
ical lines, when it becomes a county,
we will inform them that the south
boundary is somewhere about tho Over
land road the east line the Nevada
State line the north line the same
and the west line a convenient distance
from Austin. The productions of the
county, heretofore, have been coyotes,
foxes, fish, ducks, and hostile Indians,
of Grayelly Ford notoriety. Taxable
property, three stations, between tho
Overland road aud Elko, on the road to
White Pine; four tents, at tho station
called Elko, and quite q number Of en-
bryo ranches, along the Humboldt, the
owners of which expect to sell their
FIRST crop of tules (nicknamed hay) in
the White Pine market and the rail
road, the taxes on which will probably
be divided between Elko and Lander
counties.
The WHATuER.-Thera is probably no
statement with reference to Treasure
City so widely erroneous as that OF tho
state of tho weather. There has not
been, at any time during the winter, to
exceed ten inches of snow on Treasure
Hill, except where it has been drifted
into ridges. Tho coolest day, Mt sun
rise, as indicated by the Thermometer at
the outside Of our office, the mercury
stood at 4o above zero. In some parts
of the city there may have been n few
degrees of variance from this but 1t
has, in no instance, probably, eache
a point below zero. This cnnnot be
doomed excessively cold weather, and
| when comfortable quarters shall have
been provided, rs in older mountain
towns, the winters Of Treasure City
will not BIO regarded with any special
d~isfavor by those DESTROYS OF residing
here. Tho snow, however, at present,
owing to recent storms, is such MS to
materially interfere with tho business
Of prospe citing, and will probably cen.
| tinue to do so on the north sides Of the
hill until the final breaking up OF the
winter.
A Bio THIxo l-On Tuesday last, tho
High-You Silver Mining Company filed
its certificate of incorporation. Loca-
ton of mine, within speaking distance
| of tho celebrated Eberhardt and Key
stone mines, White Pine Mining Dis
triet. Capital stock, 500, 900 900 0o.
| ANY number of shares! Mr.. Wildcat,
President Mcssrs. Get-all-you-can,
Fool-um-fast, Soon-bc-over, Well-go-
| out, and Who-cares.a-d-n, Trustees.
| This minc has q small hole, down to the
limestone cap. This requires removal,
aud tits believed the ore is beneath.
Tho owners, not having funds, have
kindly consented to incorporate, and
give the boys chance. Will the B'die-
tin give the notice, so TINT any one In
San Francisco can go in, before Chicago
gets on the ground.
REAL EsrATE.-Tho demand for real
estate in this city is an evidence o! tho
high estimation in which the future
prospects Of White Pine are regarded
by those who have had q n opportunity
of examining tho mines Of this district.
Tho advanced rates in this class OF prop
erty, which has been several fold within
the past few weeks, does not deter per-
sons making an investment for specn-
lating rs well rs business purposes. In
Hamilton and Silver Springs the nd
vance in real estate seems 10 be no less
rapid, and the demand is not diminished
BY the increased rate Ht which it is be-
ing bought and sold.
A New DoDGE.-We learn that par
| ties interested in tho success OF tho
| Richmond Company over the Eborhardt
have located 400 feet Of the ground
within the limits Of the location claimed
by the latter company. They contend
| that the Ebcrhnrdt Company is not en-
| titled to u discovery interest Of 200 feet
in tho Keystone and Blue Belle claims,
which have been proven to DO tho same
lead Of the Ebcrhardt, and owned by
that company.
ANOTHER ExPREss.-The Union Pa
cifc Express Company has stocked tho
road between Hamilton and Elko, and
is now carrying passengers and express
matter over that route. Until further
notice, we understand that letters and
express matter designed for t%ransporta-
| ton by this company will be received
AT Tho store of Credit 4 Sherman, Main
street, in this city. The company also
has an Office in Hamilton.
The MAGNOLIA, AT HAuILToN.-Lowis
4 Reese, formerly Of Carson, have
opened n frst-class saloon on Main
street, Hamilton, q few doors above
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Office, where the
choicest brands of all kinds Of wines
and liquors are kept constantly on hnnd
for sale ut Wholesale and retail.
George, who has been confined to his
room in Hamilton for some weeks by q
severe illness, is out again, attending
to bis.
FREIGHT TARIFF REDUCED.-A circu-
lar has been issued by the Central Pa
ciic Railroad Company, declaring its
intention to very materially reduce the
freight tariff Of tho railroad but 1t is
questionable. The change, it ia stated,
will take place on July LIST, 1860.
4 PRESENT FOR LITTLE TRRAsURE.-
We were yesterday shown a silver
brick, q present from Mr.. G. w. Hodge
(who evidently wishes to encourage the
| increase of population Of this place. to
Treasure f. Hall, tho iirst-born OF
Treasure City.
STARTED UP.-Thc White Pine Mill
at Hamilton, which has been idle for
some time past, owing to n defect in its
boiler, has replaced it by n new one,
and commenced crushing ores again for
several mines in this district. Two
tons were crushed from the Mazcpaa
mine, a few days since, which yielded
$l,78O per ton. The mill has been
thoroughly repaired, and is now doing
good work.
I. O.. o. FAN association of Odd
Fellows has hcen formed in this city, to
meet every Sunday evening al llallock
L Meyers store.
