White Pine.

whtc finc.
During the last two weeks especially
many we'll known former residents OF
Virginia and Gold Hill have returned
from the famous White Pine Silverado,
toward which so many thousands joined
in the wild, reckless rush of last fall
aud winter. Most OF those who have
thus returned are satisfied to remain, and
desire no further experience in tina, land
Of much promise and large cxpecia-
lions; yet there ARE also some who have
established tor themselves business out
there, or have real or fsncied good in.
t%eres,s, who intend going back there for
more satisfactory experience OF the true
merits Of White Pine. More who have
had a rough time of it, and found it II
losing operation, suffering in both purse
and health, freely denounce the new dis
trict as u great humbug aud swindle,
and no place for II decent white man 10
fool away his precious time in; yet,
amid all their hard stories and denun-
CITATIONS, they are compelled to sc-
Knowledge that the new discovery is
not entirely a =" bilk," but that rich
mines ar. most ~undisputably there.
Had not the mines Of Treasure Hill
turned out TO be really rich-some OF
them, ut least-,hen indeed White Pine
might really and fairly he considered II
delusion and n snHre-a humbug OF the
first magnitude. As it is, although all
was not chloride that looked chloridish,
and the vast majority of claims proved
either worthless or unremuneraiirc, yet
the leading claims FIRST discovered, and
upon which the first excitement was
based, have not only continued in good
bullion producing repute, but many
others have since been discovered, also
really rich aud valuable. The bullion
has actually been, and still continues 10
be produced more plentifully than in any
other new district known of, considering
the short period which has elapsed
since its discovery. And such n.
,oundiugly rich ore as was found nj
the very surface of the ground, WAS
certainly enough TO excite anybody in
the world possess d Of any sort OF
acquisitive ideas or enterprisiug dispo.
%si,ion. No wonder people rushed so
recklessly thither, regardless OF the
earnest, judicious and well mean,
advice Of friends already there to stay
away for the present.
The whole argument for or against
White Pine is simply summed up at
present into the one word =" oyerdone.'
The excitement created at first regard
ing il was the greatest yet, and the f"-
c%ilities for an immediate rush thither
better than in the case of any other
new discovery in this State, not except
ing Washoe," hence the rush was one
of much greater magnitude, far greater
than the true merits OF the country just
flied. The result was, ns in all other
similar case, even citing A." Washoe us
an instance, that everything in White
Pine soon became overdone. All kinds
Of business, even to mining, was over
done. Ia consequence, now comes the
reaction, and it is simply u matter OF
time as to when things generally shall
have subsidized down to alegi,imate bot
tom, and White Pine will res, on its
true merits. The first adventures are
never the hes, for the true interests OF
any such locality, and it will be n bet
ter country next year to 80 TO Il 1t -
now. There will be better comforts,
homes, people and developments then
than now. The future of White Pine
is far moro hopeful and bright than its
present.
