We have promised the following letter
from Reyeille:
As the mines of Eastern Nevada are
again beginning to excite considerable
interest in mining circles and among
capitalists, since it has been demonstrated
that there are rich, extensive and per-
manent mines in limestone formation, |
thought a few lines from this District
might not be uninteresting TO the readers
Of your valuable paper.
Reveille is situated about 100 miles
south of Hamilton, in n range of noun
tains about Is miles in length and from
6 to 8 in width, running in a northwestern
and southeastern direction. The mineral
belt extends about 6 miles in length by
two in width, running somewhat diagon-
ally across the mountain.
The town, which is only beginning to
be built, consists of two grocery stores,
one liauor saloon, one clearinghouse,
and n number of miners cabins. 1t is
situated in a little cone or fat, in the
mountains, about one and n half miles
from the nearest mines. On examining
the Recorders books | found about 200
locations had been made, ZONE Of which,
from the best information | could get,
and from my OWL observation, | should
Judge could be proitably worked. Very
little work has been done on any of the
mines; not enough to arrive at any def
mite conclusion as to their extent. So
far as can be ascertained Mt present,
the silver-bearing quartz assumes the
form of deposits, some Of which are of
exceedingly high grade ore, 80, 900 per tun
having been obtained by mill process.
To get such ore, Of course, requires a
very careful sorting. There is now out
on the dumps of the different mines
about 1000 tuns of ore, most of which
will average 800 per tun. A sale has
been recently effected of some of the
most valuable mines in the district, to a
New York company. who have also
purchased the very excellent 10-stamp
mill situated in the valley west of the
Reveille n of mountains about 5
miles from the mines, built by Messrs.
Schooling & Mason. The mill has been
running some seven or eight days-day
time only-and | learn they have already
extracted from the rich ore taken from
their Uhe New York Companp's) mines
some ten or eleven thousand dollars
worth of the precious metal. We have
the actual result Of this run, and our
correspondent has over-estimated it.

/ question whether there is another mill
and mining property in Eastern Nevada
which has had such fiattering results so
shortly after commencing operations.
The ore crushed must have averaged
over 800 per tun. The mill owned by
the New Workers is the only mill within
a hundred miles of the District, except
ing the little mill at Hot Creek, about
forty miles distant, which, for some
reason, is not in favor with the miners
here, as they pass it and take their val
liable or high-grade ores to Austin OF
Belmont, for reduction. Tho miners
here complain some because the mill
owners of the Reyoille mill will not
crush ores for them. SoJoURNER.
Everything is lovely at Pinto, and the
prospects of that District never were
more hattering. II would be mere rope
tition to say anything about the Mary
land mine. Either n thousand eyes have
been deceived and a thousand tongues
crucihed the truth, or this is one of the
star mines of Nevada. McNevins. in
his 4th of July Grafton, was brought to
the humiliation of apologizing for chang
ing its name from The American Eagle
to My his Maryland. Argentiferously,
the mine is beyond all praise; but poltii-
cally, Thad. Stevens never would have
taken stock in il.
A number OF mines here have recently
changed hands. and a class of energetic
men Of means and sand are getting into
them-all of which is good for the Dis
trict.
