phyry to lively favorable looking
white quartz. Receipts for September,
$23,2l5 Is; the ore for the month
averaging SO per ton.
HALE q NoRcRoss.
Daily yield 200 tons, principally
from the seventh or lowest working
level. as usual, the balance being from
the old upper mine. The station for
the new lowest or eighth level Is now
being opened, and very important and
interesting developments may be
looked for at that point before long,
when drifting from this new station
north shall tap the rich body Of ore
known to extend down from the level
above.
cHoLI.AR-P oTos1.
Daily yield $40 tons. The indica-
lions at the south face of the Potosi
tunnel level, in the Belyidere section,
are that the ore will make again be-
yond the barren porphyry streak
which shut Off the ore body In that
direction. 1t Is to be hoped that those
favorable signs of promise will hold
good. Above the track floor at that
point some very superior ore is found.
CALEDONIA.
Daily yield increased to so tons Of
ore per day. from the 200 and 300-foot
levels, keeping the Piute and Sapphire
mills steadily running. Some very
rich ore, containing free gold, plainly
visible among a mass Of black sui
phurets Of silver, was found in little
streaks last week between the two
levels mentioned.
GOULD b CURRY.
Daily yield 90 tons, Of which about
2 tons Is very high grade ore from tho
Potosi body. The balance Is second
class ore from that and other sections
of the mine. The ore breasts are all
looking and promising we'll, and 1t is
thought the present ore yield will
hold out for some time yet.
ovERNAN.
Daily yield about 20 tons. No par
ticular change to note, except that the
new ore section recently developed in
the south part Of the 4O0-foot level Is
looking moro favorable. The main
source Of supply Is from the Lambert
and lower tunnels.
BELcHER.
Looking very well. Prospecting
at the 200, 420 and 152-foot levels still
being vigorously prosecuted, with very
favorable prospects. The raise above
the 2O0-foot level, south, shows great
improvement. It bids fair to give a
good yield Of ore.
SIERRA NEVADA.
The best development lately was the
dividend disbursed last Monday Of 80
cents per share, or 81 so per foot.
Nothing new to report in the mine.
Yielding at Its regular old rate, with
plenty Of good ore In sight.
SACRAMENTO AND MEREDITH.
The mine continues looking fully as
favorable as at our last report. The
mill ia kept running steadily on good
paying ore, and everything Is getting
along prosperously.
HOPE.
Daily yield - tons Of $a6 ore, keep
ing both mills Of the company steadily
running.
Nothing new either In the upper or

The amnesty bill. nov before Congress, if adopted

cudes from the privilege of voting and holding office
all the public func,ionaries of the United States Goy
eminent who acted as such between the IL tn day Of
April, 1851, and the 7th day of August, 1866 from

officers of United States army and navy during the
period, especially Of the quartermaster, COM
mssary and pay departments 1t excludes all the con-
tractors with the Government for army, navy and
other supplies. 1t excludes all who we're connected
with the Internal Revenue Department prior to the

man who during the period mentioned, rendered any
services tosthe Government and had the opportunity
to "embeszle secrete public stores, public gooda
