CorpER OaE.-We were shown. a
day or two since, by Milton Mygatt, a
fine specimen Of copper ore, just
brought in by him from n recent new
discovery in that line, at the head OF
Hackett's Canyon, on the other side
| of Carson river, four miles from Bruns-
wick Flat and about a dozen miles
from here. The ledge is five or six
feet wide. running northeast M south
west. and crops out quite prominently
| for = considerable distance. The dis
coverers, of whom Mr.. Mygatt was
one, have only sunk into the ledge a
few feet. enough to ascertain Its char
acter, aud are satisfied that they have
found 4 pretty good thing. The ore
gives an average assay OF twenty-five
| per cent. copper, and also contains
gold aud silver. There arc several
other claims located on copper lodges
IN the vicinity, and two companies are
working there, with excellent pros
poets. Mr. Mygatt has great faith in
the future productlveness Of these new
copper diggings.
