NEVADA STATE ITEMS.
HUMBOLDT COUNTY.
The Silver State gives the following
of an important discovery:
The exorbitant rates of freight over
the railroad have resulted in partlcu-
lar benefit TO the men of this vicinity IN
at least one respect. While the rates of
freight from California were moderate
compared to what they are now, much
of the salt used in amalgamation at the
mills here was brought by rail from Cali
fornia. Since the rates were increased,
however, people have been looking
around to ascertain what the country |
afforded that might be made available |
and save the expense of shipping by |
rail. Governor Fall was recently on |
tour of observation in the direction OF
Table Mountain looking at the timber,
ETC.. and while on his return discovered
a salt marsh in what has heretofore been
supposed to be an alkali fiat, six or eight
miles south of Sam Stridff's ranch, and
nearer to this place than is Mill City.
Next day after his arrival home, he dis
patched team to the marsh and had a
load of salt shoveled right of the fiat,
into the wagon, and hauled it to the
mills. The amalgamators find by test
ing it that it is superior to imported salt
for mill purposes, in consequence ut is
h. al hop NJ at haaf,
analyzed) of soda or some other sub
stance which it contains. This salt is
now delivered at the mill at cost not
| exceeding so per ton and the supply is
| inexhaustible.

We copy these items from the pnter-
prise, Of the 2lst;
THERE are some who are inclined to
| think that re-damp-carburetted hydro
gen gas-may have had something to do
with the tremendous explosion which
yesterday morning occurred in the Gold
Hill mines. 1t seems to them almost
impossible that "a small fire in the tim
beers about the foot of Wine could
have generated sufficient quantity OF
gas to be the cause of two or three such
explosions as yesterday occurred in the
Yellow Jacket mine To have extended
distance southward-as it surely did
of over 1000 feet-passing through the
levels of the Kentuck, Crown Point and
Belcher mines, from the 1300-foot level
there must have been an immense volume
OF gas of some kind.
NOTHING has yet been heard from City

departure from this place last Thursday
