SECRET CANYoN.-A gentleman in
from Secret Canyon informs us that
the mining prospects of that section
never looked half so well as now.
The Geddes d Bertrand has com.
menced shipping ore to the Lemon
mil. Three large oX-teams arrived
Yesterday all loaded to the guards,
h ore 1t is thought will work high
mp into the hundreds. An Important
strike is also announced in the IJodr.
o nilne. This was not uncXpertpd.
as there was every ind cation of an
Immense deposit being fully devc-
ioped at any line. The ore in the
Hodgd0n Is believed to be equally As
valuable as that in the celebrated
Geddes d Bertrand, the two proper
ties being only Il short distance apart,
II without doubt on the same min
erdl belt. Better times may be looked
for IN that portion of the district than
nave been experienced there since
the first discoveries were made.
LECTURE.-We call special atten-
ton to the advertisements of Colonel
Summers lecture on a "Trip to Can
ada under the head of"New today
Rev. Mr.. Henderson has gone thither
and been %lecturing to amazed audi
euces on Nevada. The only chance
to get even is to give the Colonel a
crowded house on Canada. The OBJ
iect, as will be seen, is not only q
worthy N but of interest to the
town. Parson Kelly has secured his
bell, and informs us he intends to
place il upO.ia handsome stone tower.
which will tie an ornament to the
church and the town. Liberal midi
viduals neei not contine themselves
to the purchase of a single ticket.
The weli-kuown ability of Colonel
Sumner is Il sufficient guarantee for a
rich treat.

down the cabin saw Morgan sitting in q
chair with his feet on the back ofanother
