enlargement increases. A large num-
Der Of prospecting shafts are being saak
on the west side of Treasure City. As
The base II commences on his ground,
and many Of the most valuable mines of
mixed ores in the District are found here,
the labor If prospecting will doubtless
vet be amply repaid. The explanations
are conducted principally by poor miners
without the assistance of capital. They
work in their own claims until provisions
give ont. when they hire out for a few
months. until they have got some money
ahead, when they return to their own
claims. This kind of energy. accom-
panied with perseverance, is better for
the District than foreign capital, igno-
rantly invested.
There is an unstamped deed in the Re
enrder's Office, sent here from New York
for the purpose Of transferring certain
White Pine mines to an Eastern ON
pany. Mr.. Pond, "A well known operator
in mines. and who arrived here Thnrs-
day from New York. is the business man
of this Transaction. The amount stated
in the deed of sale is $500. QUO. and fthe
transaction is consummated Uncle Sum,
as well rs the State n Nevada, will realize
a good thing on stamps.
The shipment. from Wells, Fargo &
Co. last week. Of silver bars. amounted
to an aggregate valuation Of S43, 3i0.si-
s2i.9uI sc to san Francisco. and S2l,-
43s 9S to New York.
The interest manifested by operators
in Base Metal mines does not seem to
abate. Men Of means, who would Tx
to get hold of good mines, are not only
oyer-caniions in making investments,
but when they are induced 10 go into an
operation they exact even more than The
lions share from the i%mpeeunions mine
owners.
Nothing would bring our hase mines
up Ia a figure near their aeSial valne
more speedily than the celtiiuty OF the
building of the Elko-H miltDn lailroad
within a reasonable time. Il Is the duty
of every man who has an interest IN this
region &c contribute his mite aud his in
nuence towards its Inauguration. We
have given full publicity 10 the plans.
and hive pointed ont the difficulties hat
lie in the way. Tie Central Pacific
Company are willing and anxious 10
undertake the work. But they desire
certain assurances. which are IN our
power to make. in good filth. IN The
meantime there is danger thai "A raseIiiy
bill may pass through Congress, and
prevent responsible companies from IA
yorahly considering the project. Every
body wants q railroad, but everybody
doesn't deserve one. The people OF
White Pine must ngiiate this matter
take an active interest in preliminary
meetings, and show that they are IN
earnest.
Outside districts send good news. En-
reka will become II flourishing mining
camp. and Pinto is being explored With
astonishing results. Some three weeks
since, judge Goodwin, who Is running
the Wilson furnace at Eureka, on ore
from the Jackson mine, bonded the mine
for s., 900. and in less than twenty days
run he liqnidated the purchase prlce
from the bnllion extracted from the ore.
The Germania. gold-bearing mine, mt
Pinto. is n last Spring discovery. Char

class Of ore in the mine.
ORIGINAL HIDDEN TREAsURE-There Is
no change in the appearance or the ylrld
of this mine to justify the decline IN It's
stock quotations at San Francisco.
Everybody here il satisfied that the
bearing movement below is for n speen-
lative object. The mine itself never
looked better. Ore is being hoi~ted ont
of the main shaft night and day, II 1t
mills its usual high average.

northeast in good ore, II large quantity oil

The Consolidation consists of The James

The locations being Immediately ON the
main street. and no convenient way oi
