THE DAILY APPEAL

LETTER FROM WHITE PINE.-We hav,
been permitted to copy the following
from a letter received by citizen o.
Carson from an old Carsonite, now al
White Pine. He gives the whereabouts
of our wandering sage brushers, ana
co-debtors, which may be of interest to
those, at least, who are anxiously look
ing eastward for a remittance (" on that
old account, you know
HAMILTON, June s, 1869.
We have very rich and ex-
.tensire mines; that IS tact beyond the
least possible doubt. There are ten
mills in active operation, and some four
or five more being pushed forward to
completion. The amount of bullion
now shipped from here exceeds the
Storey county shipments by some thou
sands mouth. The towns of Treasure
and Hamilton are improving rapidly,
and all seem to be very saHguiue of the
future. Hamilton is fine town, and
very pleasantly situated on the northern
slope Of Treasure Hill, near the base.
1t is well laid out. with nice streets and
no hills to speak of; | think it is bound
TO be the place Of all Others in this
county. The sites for family residences
are the best in the district; ia that re-
spect it is to White Pine what Carson is
to Storey, with the advantage Of being
situated in The immediate vicinity of all
the mines of note. The people manifest
6 great deal of confidence in the stabil-
ity OF the mines Ill building fine houses,
stores, mills. and all other improve
ments. The Treasure City Water Gem
pany are erecting some OF the most ex-
tensive works on the Pacific Coast.
They take the water from a spring three
miles east of Hamilton, and force it by
steam to Hamilton and Treasure City
1t viii require six of the largest size
engines and pumps, situated at certain
Intervals throughout the whole distance.
They pump the water from the spring
up the canyon to station one mile
above, where it il discharged into a
tank, and another hinge pump forces it
20 the next, and so on TO Treasure City,
which must be nearly 8 900 feet, from
the starting point, in perpendicular
hight, and through over five miles of IL
inch, cast iron pine, two inches thick.
The cost OF erecting the works will
amount to over half million of dollars, |
and the estimated daily expenses of run |
ring 1t after its completion, is $500. |
San Francisco, New York and Chicago |

and every one seems to be under the |
impression that the coming Summer will |
bring millions more to our land of chic |
rides and horn silver. II is generally |

every thing. Now, as for old acquaint-
