WHITE PINE ITEMS.
rrrom the New. Of April 1sth.l

Messrs. Cramer b Marble, OF tue AmSSI
can Hotel, and Colonel William T.. John-
son, have taken hold OF the matter IN
real earnest, contributed largely them
selves, and call upon all friends OF nu,
msnity to come forward promptly hnd
give whatever sum they may feel aoIe 10
spare. We hope that their noble euorss
will meet with the fullest success, AND
that the speedy realization and prompt
dispatch Of a large sum OF money TO the
widows and orphans of Gold Hill may
dispel, as far as hnman sympathy and
assistance can, the desolation OF tho
homes now draped in mourning.
CHARCOAL AND CHIcKESs.-Two large
wagons arrived from Ruby Valley yes
terday, loaded with charcoal and chick
ems. The Ruby V%alleyites complain
that the Mormons are destroying their
trade with White Pine by selling their
produce too low. We can stand It u
the Mormons can.
Eaas OF PARADIsE.-A large wagon
load of eggs from Paradise Valley were
being hawked in our streets yesterday
morning at ST per dozen. A few more
loads at the same price would find ready
sale in this city, inasmuch as hen fruit
from Salt Lake has been selling here ut
So per dozen.
Golsa Up.-The old Manhattan mill
from washoe has all arrived on the
ground, and grading is being done Tor
the boilers, and the frame Of the build
ing is being put up. The mill is being
put up at the spring. about one mile
and a half east of Hamilton.
THIEVES ABour.-The light-ingered
fraternity have been doing II lively busi-
ness in this community for the past
week. A week ago a large cooking
stove was stolen from the front OF g.
R. Alexander's drug store, two doors
north Of our office Wednesday night
o quantity of plank was stolen from
tho fence Of Mr.. Mcdonald, on Union
street, and n tent captured in the
inelosure aud taken away, aud q barber
shop was also burglariously entered,
and relieved Of several pairs OF blan-
kets. The thieves were kind enough to
leave the barber n mattress on which
TO sleep. A miners cabin was also
broken into on Tuesday night, and
several pairs of blankets stolen.
A CAVE IN TREASURE HILL.-Michael
Dooley yesterday discovered II cave in
the side Of Treasure Hill, west from the
American Hotel, and four hundred
Yards up from the base Of the hill, near
the Hamilton and Shermantown road.
| The ave is six feet wide, two to three
| feet in the clear, crescent.shaped, and
was explored a distance Of "a feet.
Beyond that point it is partially filed
with dirt aud debris, but appears to
continue into the hill. The cave con-
tains quartz, and was promptly located
by Mr.. Dooly rs n mining claim, called
the Brown Ledge. The roof OF the
cave is smoked black, rs If fire had
existed in 1t at different times.
woop.-The hills for eight miles
north Of Hamilton are alive with wood
choppers. All the wood land in that
region is being stripped, and the wood
corded up for future use.

TREASURE HILL AND H CoNsTocE..-
Some Of the paper, of Western Nevada
are engaged in . fruitless and futile war
against White Pine, and speak appa.
rently thoughtlessly, but boastingly oil
what the Comstock has yielded, and OF
what the mines Of this district have
failed to yield. They appear to lose
sight Of the fact that the. Comstock has
been worked nine years, and tho mines
two or three of them) OF Treasure
Hill, but one. Tho Comstock has Is
mills, driving l,433 stamps ; White Pine
has 4 mills, driving 80 stamps. Give US
the milling facilities of tho Comstock
and We will give to the world, within
twelve months, more than twice The
amount of bullion produced by tn,
Comstock in any one year since its dis
coyery.
WMDY.-Ye gentle zephyrs were OF
the rampage yesterday afternoon in thi'
section, carrying with them rich chlor
ides, powders, stone buildings, quartz
mills, and whatever else portable. Mer
were compelled to keep their pants in
side of their boots to prevent them (tht
pants) from being blown away and ga
for ladies who had the tenerity "a
venture upon the streets, many were
to be seen in Notifying positions, re-
v~ealing the meanwhile romantic scenes,
which our extreme modesty forbade us
enjoying. The gentle zephyrs peculiar
to Virginia City are 10 more TO DO com
pared with the whirling hurricanes oil
this locality han the fash of q light
ming bug to the brilliant rays OF the
MONDAY sun, if yesterday may be ~
cepted as q fair criterion. A storm o
some character, however, seems to be
brewing. fsc
SAD AccIDHxr.-Yesterday afternoon

Mallet, Superintendent Of the Pennsyl-
yania Tunnel, below the Ebsrhard'
mine, me. with q painful and serious &c,
cident, whereby n of his arms ant
several ribs were broken. He had
touched OF n blast in the tunnel, SOM
sixty feet from its mouth, and went out
on tho hillside for safety, when q surface
blast won't OF on the hillside just above
him, without an alarm having been
sounded, which threw a mass Of rock
upon him, with the above result.

Hamilton together, and the Pacific
Union horse, ridden by Badly Taylor

Wells, Fargo l. Co.'s pony, which wa,
under the guidance Of H. w. Baker
Both horses aud riders did their best
and created quite an excitement when
they rushed into town. 9J5h p
SrRRxrs OBsTRUcTED.--Our principaI
streets were blocknded yesterday for .
great portion of the day with heavy
freight teams, from Elko and the Nor.
mon settlements. We noticed seyera
teams loaded with butter, eggs, pota'
toes and "garden sass" generally, tbal
