The vein was then followed 25 or 30 feet
to the west, widening considerably in this
drift, from which some very rich ore was
extracted. winze was then started

enough bringing our merchandise to us
across the deserts, and if there is no law

crowded with everything interesting and
attractive in the literary line. He has a
full line of the latest pictorials. Free
Masonry" exposed will keep the reader
laughing month after he reads it; it is
a late publication, and there are but
few copies left.
MINERS DrscHARaED.-Twenty miners
were discharged yesterday and the day
before from the American Flag mine.
We don't know what it means, but have
a very decided opinion that it is stock
jobbing scheme to run down the price of
Flag stock, for that mine never presented
such vast bodies Of rich ore as at the
present time.
If THE PARTY who entered the rear win
dow of my habitation on Wednesday
evening last, and stole two coats, will return
the letters and papers contained in the
pockets OF the same, no embarrassing
questions will be propounded, as have
one of those garments left which l am
now occupying. T. II. BUTLER.
