A Rich NINE SrRueK.-On Thursday
one of the richest lodes ever struck in
the Base Metal Range was opened, be-
tween here and S~hermantown. The
mine is called Good Hope, and the own
ers have been sinking into it for some
time. One of the principal owners, a
storekeeper in town, had declared his
intention, on Thursday morning, to
furnish no more means for its explora-
ton after that day. as he had concluded
there was nothing in it. In the after
noon, a blast was put in a stratum of
limestone rock, and when it exploded,
the eyes of the %persevering miners were
gratihed with a sight which threw them
into exstacies. The shot had laid open
a ledge Of the finest and richest ore
lately seen in this vicinity. 1t contained
large masses of horn silver, as well as
chloride and an impregnation of copper
and and antimonial lead. Bnt the silver
predominated 10 an astonishing extent.
The mine is on the right hand side of
the S~hermantown road. about 100 yards
up the hill, and directly opposite the
well known point where the old fortune
teller pitched his tent over a year ago.
The Good Hopes have continued to
open their ledge, and it SO far i~nsiifes
the expectations evoked by the champion
blast.
PINTO PRosPEoTs.-The mining pros
poets of Pinto are second to those of no
other District of the size in the State.
The Maryland mine continues TO sink
into a very high-grade ore. The shaft
through the astonishing deposit in the
north drift is now down 81 feet, making
n depth reached from the surface of l44
feet. The bottom of the deposit spoken
of has not yet been reached, and it's
width is estimated at II feet all the way
down; although the workmen have not
yet got across the ledge. Mr.. j.. j.
Dunno, of the Reno mills and smelling
works, is expected at Pinto to-day. He
has purchased the Champion and the
Germania mines, and intends to put
about % men at work in their develop
ment Immediately. This will add greatly
to the working force and life Of the Dis
triet Work has been commenced ON
the Galena mine, the south extension of
the American Eagle. A commencement
merely has been made; so there is moth
ing to report, further than that Captain
j. IL. Adams, of San Jose, Chi, has pur-
chased into the mine with Messrs. Meme
wins and Mccoy. the loeatsrs. The
Newark mill will start up on Monday
week on ores from Pinto.
Ok A HUNT.-A party Of gentlemen,
armed and equipped, started for Spring
Valley, about so miles east Of here, yes
terday morning, on a grand hunt. They
took a goodly quantity Of supplies with
them; but as We saw no chicken OF tur-
key among their stores. poultry in their
direction that are in lnck will roost high
for n couple Of weeks. Several copies of
Mark Twain's letter on the art of rais-
ing chickens accompany the expedition
TuBSINe UP.-The Mieawber mine,
below the entrance Of the Treasure into
the Shermantown road, is working into
fine indications. The ore. or rather the
ledge. looks very encouraging. This
mime is on a mineral belt which carries
silver, copper and uranium principally.
