WHIrE PINH FIGuREs.-So many wild


" exaggerated stories of the fabulous
richness Of the ores Of Treasure Hill
have been circulated by excited persons
writing or coming from there, that in
order that any of our readers hereabouts
contemplating a visit to the famous
Silverado may be posted and not Sc,
their brilliant anticipations too high,
we give the following figures relative to
some Of the most prominent OF the White
Pine mines, condensed from tho quar-
terly report of the County Assessor OF
Lander County for the three months
ending December 81, 1868. During that
period the Eberhardt produced All tons,
Of tho average of STA per ton; the Key,
stone 80 tons, averaging S554 per ton;
tho Hidden Treasure 81 tons, aver
aging 1887 per ton; the Robert Emmett
l72 tons, averaging 1851 II the Stone
wall 6S TONS. averaging S434 06 per
ton the Aurora South 1858 tons, aver
aging Sl45 90. These figures certainly
show evidence Of very rich ore at White
Pine, but it must be borne in mind tina;
much richer ore is required in the mines
out there than here in order to make ii
pay at all. It costs big money to open
II mine there, and still bigger money to
mill it, when We consider the expense
OF transporting mill material such Il dis
lance. Forty dollar ore here pays
better than 500 ore u there. 1t
sounds fine to hear of 49, 00 ore being
found in the Eberhardt, but the
average yield per ton is really
the most interesting point. Then
again , adding up the number OF
tons yielded by nil the mines mentioned
for the three months it will not amount
to as much as some one Of our Com
stock mines yields during II single week.
Let il be borne in mind, however, that
White Pine is in her infancy and that
future quarterly reports OF the assessor
NAV show n vast increase OF yield both
in quantity aud value. Those mines
are not eve yet fairly prospocted, and
we certainly have seen some OF the
richest silver ore from there we ever
SAW in our life.
SCHOLASTIC Roll Of HoXoR.-By spe-
cial request of the teachers, we publish
the following Roll of Honor of the Gold
Hill public schools for the past month.
No scholar has q place on this roll en-
cept those who have been regular in
attendance, punctual, and perfect in de-
pertinent. They must also stand % per
cent. in all their studies, 100 being the
standard in each study. Those who
are the highest are marked No. l, next
No. 9, etc. IL scholars receive only n
check during the month it is excused
but they will not rank No. /. No excuse
for absence or tardiness.
Roll of Houor-Grammar Class-No.

As to tho propriety OF publishing
these Rslls OF Honor every month, the
teachers are doubtless the most compe-
tent Judges ; we shall allow that they
are. That they will encourage n spirit
of emulation among the scholars, and
stimulate their ambition to greater
achievements and progress in their va
rious stations, we certainly hope aad
Those that are marked No. l on
the roll have just cause to feel clated,
and we hope to see even more arrived
at that enviable pinnacle of distinction
next month.
