IMPORTANT SALE.-Fhe largest sale OF
mining property that has taken place in the
Territory for some time was recently effected
IN Madison County, that Of the Pacific silver
lead, owned by 1fr. NJ d. johnson, and situ-
ate in Browns gnich, about eight miles from
Virginia City. The property was bonded TO
Mr.. o'Brien for ninety days, the figures beng
S65,O0o. Mr.. UBrien is the representative OF
a company of English capitalists, and has
made large purchases for his COMPANY in
Utah and Colorado. Mr. O'Brien considers
the Pacific equal in richness to the celebrated
Emma mine of Utah, and no doubt Is enter
tanned OF the transaction being equivalent to
sale. We congratulateMrJ johnson. whose
energy and perseverance IN developing the
Pacific deserved sucha reward as lie has re-
d,on TINS early having his hopes realized,
and the people of Madison on having her
quartz mines, the value of which is beyond
estimate, speedily developed. The opening
of the Pacific will be but the forerunner Of
the development of many other equally rich
leads, and the prosperous days of ga, 'e5 and
'66 will again dawn upon the good people of
Virginia.
