WHITE PINE ITEMS.

From the Inland Empire of the 18th and
14eh instant, (which, we are glad to note,
has been enlarged to the size Of the Sacra-
mento Union), We clip the following items OF
news:
Messrs. Chisholm and Ramsdell return ed
to Hamilton yesterday, after an absence OF
about 20 days through the ranges of noun
tains running in an easterly direction. They
located district about ITO miles from here,
which they call Silver Canyon District The
lodges are numerous, and are found in
granite and Intestine formation. There is
no one in the district now except two men
who accompanied Chisholm and Ramsdell.
The ores brought look well, and one assay
has already been made, indicating profit
able yield Other assays will be made to-
day, and We will give the exact figures Of
each one Tomorrow.
James Malfon, who left Hamilton on foot
a few DAYS since for Austin, managed TO
reach ten miles this side of Dry Creek where
he has since been confined with the small
pox The station at which he is stopping is
40 miles this side of Austin. Mallon, when
our informant passed there day before yes
terdav, was thought to be dangerously i'll.
The telegraph line was completed 10 within
IL miles of Hamilton last evening. There Is
a deficiency in the number OF poles on which
to stretch the wire. and these will have
to be procured before the line can be
finished. The poles were all loaded on
teams some DAYS ago. but as they have to
be brought distance Of fifty miles. the
superintendent of construction SAYS ne cam
not tell when the line will be completed until
after they arrive
A letter from resident Of Carlin 70 a
friend in Hamilton, dated April s. contains
this item: Carlin is building up fast. We
have commenced our White Pine Road, with
plenty of cash to put it through. Shall start
a saddle train from here to your place in
few days"
The sound of the carpenters hammer is
heard in all directions Of this little city daily,
and every morning the improvements are so
clearly visible that even d closelooker out
for improvements is almost astonished at
what has been accomplished the day before
and on the morning of his getting out of bed, |
if he rises late. Let resident depart from
from here to-day, and return in three weeks, |
and he will hardly recognize the town, SO
rapid are the improvements made. The |
price of lumber is from $500 to StC0 a
and the question to lumber dealers
is never what the cost is, but whether the
necessary materials can be procured. As
all the lumber yards are beseiged daily, their |
supplies On hand are not large az any one |
time ; but the quantity passing in and out Of
each one during every y hours. If correctly |
measured, will account for most of the build |
ing now going on in our midst. The arrival
Of about $4,000 feet OF Carson lumber will |
account for the rest Of II.
Every day the developments on the ledge
10 the west OF Hamilton become
more bold and pronounced in character.
yesterday several experienced miners who
AVE been opening lodes brought US speci-
mems which presentSto the experienced eye
he finest indications. We become more and
more satisfied, as the work of exploration on
Blue Hill continues, that we have a mining
,elt here of unsurpassed richness.
