believed, that heavy bodies of
rich ore had been struck in tie lowest
works of the Raymond & Ely mine; but,
owing to the cautious, half suppressing
in which the news was commu-
we thought it wise to say nothing
about the strike until we could get posi-
tive and reliable information. This We
BE- lieve we are now in possession of. In
mense bodies of high grade ore have GER
tainly been struck on the eighth level, the
extent of which is not known. The winze
has been sunk over twelve feet through
rich chloride ore, and there is no appear
ance yet of the under wall. This inform
alton comes to MS from such a source that
We have no good reason to doubt it, II
was reported, day before yesterday, that
the ore body had been cut from wall to
wall, and that it was "a feet in width; but
We believe the latter report is more relia-

some cause, was suspended.
ST.. GEORGE FRUIT YIELD.-A cold snap
the latter part of March, we are told by a
gentleman just in from st. George, did
great damage to the young germs on the
fruit trees. and there is not as heavy a
yield, for the number of bearing trees,
expected this year as the orchardists were
blessed with last; but as the fruit-bearing
area has been greatly extended. the ag-
gregate product will, it is believed, be
fully as great as it was last year, if not
greater. Preparations are being made to
ship large quantities Of fruit, fresh and
canned, to this market. And this, we
think, will prove profitable to all con-
cerned, as the quantities of canned fruits
used in Phoebe are almost incredible--all
of which have heretofore been put up in
San Francisco.
CoRREcrIoN.-By some strange mad
vertence, the notice published in our
issue of the 18th inst, of the shipment
OF four bars of bullion, valued at 50, 345,
by the superintendent of the Portland
mine, was credited to the Alps. AS then
stated the amount was produced from
80 tons of ore, and was worked at the
Meadow Valley Mill. The percentage is
remarkably high. Work is being vigor
ously prosecuted in this mine, and as
soon as the connection is made by
the winze, now being sunk on the Ledge
from the upper level to the lower one
large shipments of ore will be made
and arrangements having been consum
mated for crushing, continuous flow o
bullion may be looked for in the neal
future.

VERY KIND OF HIM.-For the purpos
of starting library for the children VIII

at the request of Father Monteverde
consented to deliver au lecture, at eigh
o'clock, in the Courtroom. A trip whic

The well-known ability of the speaker
