INSTRUMENTATION a private let
ter received by a gentleman in this
city we learn that Henry r. White
hill, State Mineralogist of Nevada, has
reached Ivanpah, Clark District,
which, we believe, lies on the eastern
slope of the Timber range of noun
tains, some forty miles this side of the
Colorado river, On the boundary line
| between California and Nevada. The
| MineraIogist and his solitary COM
panion have had a pretty rough time
of it since leaving Los Angeles. At
that place Whitehill bought three
pack mules-"v arrantedwell brokcn.'
Reaching a jungle of %colunnar cactus,
two of the wild mules stampeded-
thermometer ITO degrees in the shade.
The Mineralogist and his companion
started in pursuit, and after a two
hours chase succeeded i'll Overhaullng
the mules and a few remnants of the
packs. When they got back to where
the other mule had been left they
found him lying down and apparently
dead. He had been ~wallowIng with
the pack, and but tor his inability to
regain his feet would have been on
top of it. He was cut loose from his
burden, stepped around for a minute
looking wisely at it, then took to the
cacti like a .'streak of creased light
ming In the course OF a day or two
things were got together, and the two
me- started on their way-but not re,
joicing to any great extent. Whitehill
will probably reach Phoebe by the
middle or 20th of June.

greet that the Kean mill. at Pine Grove,

dav morning last. \ letter from Pine
Grove gives particulars. Active pre-
partitions We're being made by the new
prOprietOrS to start up the mill and
mine with a full force. and this ms
fortune will fall heavily upon them,
as we'll as upon the people of Pine
Grove generally. LateraccountS state
that the excitement of the people is
great. and that it is not unlikely to
find vent in the hanging of James

time the good work throughout the
CITY. Every resident Is interested in
the matter, and Il small contribution
from each would save a great deal of
trouble and annoyance 10 this and
future generations.
