reopening the mines Of argentiferous
calena situated on the Truckee river,
near the Warm Springs. Some years
ago quite a number Of miners were en-
gagged in prospecting in this district,
and some OF them met with fiattering
success. Mr.. Osborne, the Recorder
Of the district, Is now In this place.
and informs us that as high as $50 per
ton was obtained from the groupings OF
some of the leads. Shafts were sunk
to the depth of so and 100 feet, aud
one tunnel 38t feet in length was run.
From these excavations ore assaying
as high as $i75 per ton was obtained.
As the mines are ut no great distance
from the railroad, it is thought that
they might now be profltably extract
ed and shipped to furnaces for sms't-
ING or, perhaps, brought to furnaces
near the railroad. In the district are
many lodges from four to eight feet In
width, and all containing ore Of about
the same character aud value.
