BOARD OF County CoMMIssIosERs.-At a
meeting Of the Board of County commissioners
held ON Saturday last. the following order was
issued. viz In pursuance of an Act of the Leg.
~islature of the State Of Nevada, entitled " An
Act in relation to Public Highways" approved
March 9th. 1873. it is ordered that the townships
of Hamilton. Treasure City and Eberhardt, in
this county, be consolidated into one road dis
trict. to be known as Road District No. |. 1t
WIS also ordered that the road commencing at
the terminus Of Chamberlin's Toll-road and
running through Hamilton. known as the
Treasure City Toll-road. be. and is hereby de.
clared Il public highway also that the road
commencing at the old toll-road gate at the
intersection Of the road leading from Hamilton
to Treasure City, and running thence to sher-
mantown, known AZ the Peter Rice Toll-road. be
and is hereby declared a public highway. At
the same meeting Henry Bush. Jr. was. on mo-
tion, appointed Supervisor OF Road District No.
1, and ordered to file the bond required by law

The MOBILE MIsE.-This mine, for work has
progressed 10 such an extent as to entitle the
claim to that appellation. is situate on Babylon
Hill. near Swansea, and has some 800 or 1000
tons Of fine smelling ore on the dump. We are
credibly informed that this property has been
worked for a long time by one man, under most
diseouraging circumstances, but bids fair now
to become of permanent value. Some specimens
we have seen from there show evidences of ex-
eeeding richness. and contain sufficient quanti-
ties Of lead to guarantee easy reduction. Stu
ated one-half mile from the mine described is
the Great Valley mine, from which 500 or 800
tons Of ore has been extracted, much OF which
was smelted at the furnaces erected by Governor
Mattison some time ago. The riches concealed
in the bowels of white Pine Mountain will some
day astonish the world and, when sufficient
capital shall have provided the necessary means
of reduction. a new era of prosperity will have
opened for this district.
THE TROUBLE AT srRuoEMoNr.-rhe kilograms
from Elko which have been published in all the
papers during the past week. representing trouble
at sprucemont. must be taken with a grain of
salt. We have talked with gentlemen just IN
from Cherry Creek District, which is situate
only 30 or 40 miles from the reported scene of
the Indian troubles, and they assure us they
heard no intimation Of any disturbance in that
locality, and think it strange If a gathering of
one thousand redskins had occurred so near
them they would not have known of the cirenm-
stance, However. the movements of Indian
tribes are generally kept secret among them
selves until the time for action arrives; but the
fact of the gentlemen referred to having been In
close proximity after the reported rising and not
being aware of 1t. seems Incredible. We antiei.
pate. the trouble to be nothing serious.
- s1LvEh pLATE.-From samples Of ores shown
us. we are of opinion that the mine known as the
Silver Plate. situate near town, IL destined to
take a front rank among the reproducing loca-
tions Of this section. The perseverance and
'htiHN hihltasfh " . certainty hi'il
success, and our good wishes go with them. The
mine IS row producing splendid mineral, both
as to quality and quantity, some Of which is be.
ing crushed at the Manhattan mill.
Rich Orr IN THE PEERLESS cHAMBER Par.
ties from the Hill inform us that Mr.. Inch. fore.
man Of the Eberhardt 4 Aurora Company's mines,
has struck a rich pocket Of ore, which he says
will assay into the thousands. 1t is our earnest
wish that many tons Of this same quality will
DE discovered in the same locality. This noted
chamber Of ore seems 10 hold out amazingly,
and shows no signs as yet of diminution.
SCHOOL ArrENDAScE.-Judging from the num-
Der Of children we see going past our office
toward the school house. we conclude that the
attendance has very much increased during the
month. We are glad to note such violence of
desire for their children to acquire useful knowl.
edge on the part Of the parents as is manifested.
REruRSEp.-we are pie sed to note the return
of the family Of our esteemed fellow townsmsn
and County Commissioners, A. C. Gordon, from a
trip to the land of gold and aowers-California
They came on Tuesdays stage. and were met by
Mr.. Gordon at the six-milo house with a private
conveyance.
