the eastern part of White Pine u
t!y, we gather some particulars of mat
tiers and things in tn t section. TO
begin with, Mr.. Duker gives it as his
opinion that Cherry Creek will vet
prove to be a very important mining
point. The principal mines OF the
district are the G-nevia. Teacup, Ex-
chequer, Pine Nut and Baltic. The
greatest amount of labor has been
performed on the Teacup, on which
there is II shaft 90 feet deep. disclosing
at the bottom, as in fact all the way
DOWNS vein three feet and a half in
width. The ore is of high grade. The
GENEVA is also IA splrndid property,
though but little work has been per
formed on the ledge, which crops out
boldly for nearly 1000 feet. The ore
IS rich III free gold, which is easily
disc.rnable with the naked we. Ii
also CARR $ a high percentage OF horn
silver. Messrs. Parker formerly of
Eurckal Hyde and Moore. have sold
the EXcheqnOr to Itag mnrn & Hon.
ian for the snug little sum OF S4O,O 600.
The purchasers will Immediately
erect a ter-stamp mill, the machinery
for which is already en- route from
Humboldt Wells. Captain Cheaver,
Of San Francisco, has a lease of t..
Baltic for six months. with the privi-
lege of buying it at the ex pirStion of
that time for 800. 00O.
Cherry Creek is situated three miles
north Of Egan canyon, the latter place
being on the old overland road well
out toward the dividing line between
Nevada and Utah. Wood and water
is abundant in the immediate vicinity
of the mines. Indeed. excellent lum-
her for building purpo ,es is obtained
within three miles of the town of
Cherry Creek !; that being the name
ty which the town is AS vet known.
Sanford Hail. formerly of Sherman
town. owns the >aw-iaill nearest to-
the town, and delivers lumber at $50
per NJ.
There are some splendid hot springs
also contiguous to the town. Billy

the meat market of Fred. Barnes. in
tins place, ownes the springs, and is
doing a good business with Them. B.

little place. though money is re!!-rr-
