and a half in circumference, and esti-
mates that at least sixty thousand tons
of soda can be gathered from 1t annu-
ally, at q cost Of 81 per ton or less, the
freight to the railroad being estimated
at $l2 per ton. The location was

teal and experienced assayer and me-
tallurgist, says the article Is sesqui-

bolic acid and two equivalents OF SODA;
but DR.. Waters Of this city, who made
a partial test Of the article yesterday
by the use Of baryta, detected 4 trace

value-as pure carbonate of soda Is
manufactured by ftising with 1t n mix

Thin SxlSSED.-The Siirer Stale,
out in Humboldt, in its last issue,
wakes dreadfully ill-hatured over the
idea Of our defending the respectable
citizens of this community for forcibly
putting down crime and rampant law
i~essness, which existed here not long
AGO, and strenuously Directing to scrib-
bling ignoramuses in Pine Grove or
n other outside locality being so
ready to say that the rascals In those
places were driven from Storey county.
This sapient editor even wants to turn
himself into q drumhead Court-mar-
tial, and summarily kuSlux US out OF
existence without the benefit Of clergy.
Just rs though we had insinuated that
he was one of the nine eXpatriated
ones! Ali, we'll! we can afford to
charitably forgive him for while We
are sustained by all the good, square,
decent citizens Of this section, the
harmless pop-gun Of this ambitious
ink.slinger falls on our earsa musingly,
like the tinkling musicof n one-stringed
Chinese banjo. Shoot again, little one.
