The Daily state register. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1870-1872, 1872-08-28

shown yesterday morning, Dy Mr.
Whitehill, State Mineralogist, some
beautiful specimens of silver ore,
which he bad just received for the
State Cabinet, from C.. III. Roberts, su.
u~erintendent of the Saratoga mine, at
Austin. They We're taken from a re
cent discovery in that mine. of a body
of the richest ore ever found in Lander
Hill. One of tiie specimens is certainly
the prettiest thing OF the kind that we
have ever seen. 1t is a large piece OF
ruby silver ore, on II side of which
crystals of stephanite ore, imbedded
in quartz crystals, the light falling
upon this surface causes it TO sparkle
like a casket of glittering jewels
Reese River District is justly noted
for the beauty and richness of the
minerals found there, and we are
pleased to learn that in no district bat
Mr.. Whitehill visited this Summer,
does the future prospects look more
encouraging. More permanent i'm
provements have been made in Austin
during the past two years than in any
OF the Old mining camps in the State.
We hope that others of our mining
su perintendents, and all those inter
eSted in such matters, Will remember
the State Cabinet, when they find such
c~uriOsitieS as those sent by Mr.. Rob
erts. BY doing so, Nevada will soon
have the finest collection of minerals
in the world Express charges will
be paid here on all specimens sent to
the State Cabinet. The State Mineral
ogist is working hard to make this
cabinet one of which all will be proud.
Owners of mines, without exception,
afforded him every facility when Wis
iting the different districts to make
collections, still he finds great difh
Guilty in procuring rare and beautiful
specimens. as he san scarcely ever be
present when they are taken from the
mines. They are carried off by others,
and placed in private cabinets, from
which it is impossible to get them.
