TRENCH MIsE.-Y. Butsch. OF the Trench mine,
on White Pine mountain, presented us with n
splendid and rich specimen of silver.bearing
rock. q portion of which he has had Assayed
recently. From him we learn that his property
is looking better than ever before even in its
remarkable history. The strike made by his
miners. mentioned in = late issue Of the Nkws.
has resulted in the discovery Of a remarkably
vell-defned and rich vein Of ore. 1t appears
that az depth was attained the course Of the vein
changed gradually to the northwest, pitching 1t
an sngle OF So degrees into the hill, and at q
depth Of 200 feet. under the old workings, the
vein Is found Of a present thickness Of AZ feet.
and a width OF IL to 10 inches, between two
well-dehned walls. The assays made by U. q.
Pope, the assayer. show the following large
results; First quality, sos rs second. s5ls 81
third, tel 30 all silver. with no trace Of gold
or other minerals. We are sincerely pleased to
EeCofu THESE lnttrcbtiuk thltbs n tuty II par
ticularly welcome at this time. It is to be
hoped that the vein may continue to increase in
size and value until a second Comstock shall be
discovered. The owners Of the Trench mine
have thus far realized a great deal OF money
from their property. and the present appear
ances denote that they will still continue to ex.
tract many ducats from it's hidden treasure.

On Monday last Jas. Logan. a miner we'll known
Throughout the community and much respected
by all, while engaged in working on the denesee
mine on Treasure Hill, met with a serious and
possibly fatal accident. II seems that Hogan
had put in . hole, loaded IL with a giant powder
cartridge, and retired at \ safe distance to await
the explosion. : As told us by parties who
claimed 70 know. the cap WAS heard to explode,
and. the unfortunate man. imagining the cart
ridge was q failure, walked up TO the drift and
commenced striking with . drill, intending to
draw the worthless charge and replace 1t by a
fresh one. Suddenly an explosion was heard,
and poor Logan was blown completely of his
feet. Friends Immediately picked him up and
carried him TO the nearest place, dispatching
couriers to this town for surgical assistance.
Doctors Thoma and Owen at once started for
the scene. and found Logan suffering great agony
from wounds received from the charge of pow
der. We are informed that at last accounts
their patient would lose both eyes, beside hav.
his right arm amputated above the wrist. But
small hopes are entertained of his recovery.
sTEALIso.-City Marshal Peters arrested two
gentlemen Of color, the other day, who had
effected an entrance into q cabin situate above
thu store Of A. G. Gordon. and stolen therefrOm
two navy six-shooters and various articles Of
clothing. The name Of one OF the individuals
was Charles wray, mot Charley the jeweler, as
he Is one OF the whitest men In the country
and the other was entered as John Doe. They
were brought before Justice Davis. who prompt
ly them to Jail for sixty.nve days.
We understand their case Is 10 go before the
Grand Jury at the coming term.
From sTEPToE.-J. J. Hicks, one Of our sub.
stantial ranchmen and stock raisers. has been in
town a day or two from his splendid ranch in
steptoe Valley. Situated only five miles from
Mineral City, ho has one OF the finest properties
in the country. and informs us that. though
somewhat retarded by the cold snap Of some
days ago, the crops are looking magnihcently.
Mr.. Hicks is also largely interested in mining
interests In Robinson District, and. In common
with all In that section. expresses unbounded
faith in the future OF the camp.
