RICH DISCOVERIES REPORTED. - Last
Saturday some prospectors came in from
the west, bringing remarkably rich speci-
mems of silver ore, which they say they
obtained in the southern part of Esme-
ralda county, near the California line.
The ores are chloride, for the most part
The discoveries say the veins are OF great
extent, some being twenty-five feet in |
width. They have been trying to get |
some OF our mining men to take inter-
.ests in these deposits, and assist in de-
velopments; but no arrangement OF the
kind has yet been consummated. The
truth is new discoveries have become so
common, of late, that it is difficult to
direct the attention of local capitalists in
any particular direction. The discover
les reported in Esmeralda are about 200
miles west of Phoebe; we do not under
stand why the discoveries did not 60 with
their developing proposition to some OF
the nearer mining centers. 1t is not
best to get excited over these rose-col-
ored stories.
The NORTHERN CONSIDERATIONS in
from Patterson, Sacramento and Robin
son Districts, in White Pine county,
from Is to 100 miles north of Phoebe, say
that the value OF those districts will be
known before long, as they will be thor
oughly tested the coming summer. There
is vast extent of country up there,
comprising the southeastern part of
White Pine county, which is character
lied by mineral belts. There are both
milling and smelling ores. Capital is
now concentrated to q sufficient amount
to purchase necessary machinery, and
mills and smelters will both be erected
the coming spring. The natural advan-
tages are good in that region-abundanc
of wood and water, with fine farming
tracts adjacent. Our informants are
very sanguine in their expectations es-
pecially as regards Robinson District.
COMMODORE STRUrrsTIFF says he fairly
won his title fanking an alligator in the
Florida swamp by jumping through his
breeches and leaving faithful dog to
guard them, thus checking the pursuit
of the scaly enemy, and that he will
swim river of blood, and furnish the
blood for the purpose, before it shall be
surrendered. Admiral Chancetaker. who
saved himself when his canal boat was
wrecked in gale by floating safely ovel
the turbulent pillows on whisky barrel
thinks his dignity will be preserved il
history if it should be endangered by the
conventionalites of society.

FrGHr.-About five o'clock yeste,
day afternoon tailor and restauran
waiter got into fight in front of th
Fashion saloon, on the corner of Mai
and Lacour streets, and succeeded i
tramping out enough mortar to cemer
stone-wall half around the city, an
they put a little hair in it, too, to max
it stick good. No damage done except
few buttons snapped from their taste,
lngs by the laughter of the CONFUSED b,
ISLANDERS. Four or five hundred gathere
to witness the gladiatorial display.

they certainly are little afraid Of TAXI
risks here. r WIKI.
