FOR EASTERN INQUIRERS ABOUT
WHITE PINE.

under date OF June l1th, says there
9 in Chicago an Unsuitable thirst for infol
nation in regard to the location, el
y tent, character, ETC., of White Pine
and adds that a pamphlet giving sue
information would sell in the East q
I fast as it could be offered. Our CORES
r pendent is himself a journalist, and ha
, doubtless as clear ideas of our countr.
as the majority. at least, of Eastern pee
pie. We cannot write the pamphlet
we cannot pretend to describe Whit
Pine as yet. 1t is a drama, which w
doubt not will contain many wonderful
scenes, but the first act is scarcely com
menced, and we are not vain enough Il
attempt to paint sunbeams or to give
new hues to the rainbow. We will
however. for the information of East
ern people, give few plain facts, dry
enough in detail, and well enough IN
derstood by residents here.
To come here people leave the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad at Elko, a place
2l7 miles west of Promontory Point.
| From ElkO to Hamilton it is about lis
miles, over fine natural road, which
is traytrsed by several lines Of as lively
stages as any Eastern man, at least,
could desire.
The main settlements at present are
| Hamilton, Treasure City and Sherman
town, each being within two miles of
| the others Hamilton is the frs point
reached by stages, and is, we believe,
The best business town. Treasure is
the great mining town, and its streets,

with " pure gold" come nearer being
paved with pure silver than those of
| any other town in the universe. Sher-
muntown is the pleasantest town of the
three. has the best climate and sur
rouudings, and from its advantages Of
wood aud wafer will divide with HAM
ilton the milling business.
Is for our population, the number
can only be Appropriated to. but prob
atly $1,000 wocld not be far out of
tie way and we believe they are more
civil and orderly than any mining popu-
,atIou Of their number ever were be-
tare. Good board can be obtained for
ten dollars in goli per week. If per-
son buys his provisions and cooks him
self, be can live well enough for half
that amount. Lumber is from Sl20 to
$500 per thousand feet, and stone about
TWO dollars per perch. As for our
mines. the number located is almost
beyond computing. OF these, some are
not worth a cent and others are rich
beyond calculation. As yet We have
hut limited mining facilities. There
are but one hundred and ten stamps
now pounding in all this region. The
WELD Of late has been. in bullion, from
$40, 0OO to nearly SO, 600 per week Il
IS expected to reach nearly a Sl09, 900
this week, and hereafter will not fall
much below 81 900 per week to the
stamp.
About the extent of oar minera!
bearing region, the inns gination Of man
can 10 more compass it than it can the |
distance to a fixed star. Besides the !
ores in this immediate vicinity, for one
hundred and sixty miles south, thirty |
miles north, and ninety miles east, the
country is known to be rich. New dis
cOverics are being made daily Of the |
most encouraging character. Besides

nave to be reduced by smelling, and
which we believe is inexhsustible in
-jchuess, and of extent, to last for
generations.
Around us is 4 country Of noun
aims, interspersed with the richest val
eys in the State, capable of producing
all the products of the temperate zone,
md furnishing, with the mountains,
stock range.
We honestly believe it is good coun-
~ for a man of moderate means to
,ome to; for rich man, who wishes to
urn eis money over fast, we know Of
10 such opportunity as this land holds
)ut.
Magnificent mines can be purchased
lcre now, for reasonable sum mines
which, with prudent management, will
,ay for themselves, and mill to work
heir ore, in a few moths. At the same

fortune without energy, pluck, pru-
Ience and perseverance, and candor
