Eastern and Southern Nevada (says the
Carson Register. and Is now engaged
upon others of interest to the people
Of this State. The next, We believe, is
intended to show the boundary line
between California and Nevada, and to
and him in this work he has, by in-
structions from General Ord, written
to Surveyor-Ge General Day, Of this State,
for 4 copy of Lawson's map Of the
boundary line, which is a handsome
piece Of work, showing the topography
Of the country bordering OH the Sierra
Nevada range, from Lake Bigler to the
intersection of the thirty-seventh par
allel of latitude with the fortieth par
allel of longitude, neal the Colorado
river. There being but II copy of

FROM KEARsXRGE.-James O'Don-
nell, late Of the Yellow jacket, but
now foreman Of the Keafsarge mine,
located in Owens River valley, arrived
in Gold Hill night before last from a
trip to the mine. He speaks in the
highest terms of the immense wealth
and great extent Of the mine, OF which
he is now more fully convinced than
ever before. Before leaving there,
about q week ago, he explored the side
of the mountain where the kears9rge
is located, and he actually found the
ledge, or a spur of it, down at the base
Of the mountain, on the creek where
the Kearsarge mill is located, q dis
lance of upwards of 1000 feet from
the groupings. We understand that it
il the intention Of Superintendent
Winters to set the miners at work on
this new discovery i'll q few weeks.
Twelve tons Of ore from the kearsarge,
believed to be worth $500 per ton, are
now OH their way from the kearsarge,
which will be SUI united to the Stadt-
felt resisting process, ut the Auburn
mill, near Reno. Extensive improve
ments in the Kearsarge mill and mine
are going on, and next spring active
operations in both will commence in
extracting ore from the mine and re-
ducing it at the mill.
