IMPORTANT New SILVER DIscovERY.-

IMPORTANT New SILVER DISCOVERY
Some important new discoveries of silver
have been made in Long Valley District,
about fifty miles south of Bullionville.
We have examined sample ore from one
of these new lodges, the Green Monster
which must not be COMPOUNDED with the
say it is one of the finest specimens of
silver ore we ever saw. With consider
able chloride of silver it carries small
per centage of copper, and all the assay
ing tests, so far, have run up to the
hundreds per ton, while selected rock has
reached as high as $4,000. The ledge is
enormous in extent, being from seven to
ten feet wide, and it has been clearly
traced two miles and a half. A shaft has
been sunk fifty feet, and the ore body
disclosed at the bottom is six feet wide
and is remarkably rich. The ores of
Long Valley seem to be free milling ores
Prominent among those interested in the
development of the district are G. c.
Bradley, Captain c. R. Garden, of the
Board of County Commissioners, Henry
Shafer, Samuel McMasters, T. Harrigan,
j. Noel, Judge Fuller and Postmaster
Barnes. There is prospect of mill going
I into the Long Valley District this spring
or early in the summer. Capital it
would seem, is only necessary to give the
mineral wealth of that section great
prominence among the silver producing
II districts. The natural working facilities
A IRE good.
FURTHER GENEROUS SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR
n THE BENEFIT OF GEORGE McKEAN.-The
I American Flag Company have subscribed
a and deposited in favor of George Mexican
the generous sum of S201 so; and the
! Hermes Company have given S1l4-on
their part equally liberal, when we con-
I'll slider that the greater number of men are
n now engaged in the former mine. The
n prospect is bright for the proposed sum
4 of $4,000 being raised; and We, in behalf
of our liberal citizens, insist that two
thirds of the amount, or more, shall be
deposited in Phoebe until Mr.. Mexican
j. selects his future home, when it will be
81 purchased for him with the express con
81 dition in the conveyance that it shall moi
y be encountered or disposed of during his
life-time-the right of willing it, how
ID ever, being unconditional. This will b.
III bestowing on the worthy man a substan
81 tial and lasting benefit.
LOST IN Snow SroRMs.-Our old frient
Judge Josiah Reilly, who left Phoebe TO
Silver Peak District some tire,
j weeks ago, got lost in snoy
4 storm between the Fifteen-mile hous
III and Wilson's ronnh oho,,f nk,,G
q miles from this city. and certainly woul
Il have persisted had he not accidentally
III got into coal burners camp. As
~ was, some of his toes were badly frozen
IN AS it was not possible to 60 from tn
I'M Fifteen-mile house to Wilson's with
n vehicle, he was travelling on foot. H
finally got through to his destination
q and, though quite lame when last hear
from, he was doing well, and will say
= all his toes.
I'd The STOPPING OF THE FLORAL MILL
III Why was not receiver appointed, in til
III case of the Floral mill, instead OF stol
IA ping it and putting keepers in to prever
IN somebody from running off with the boi
hi ers? Several have asked us this que,
|8 ton. Two hundred men are thrown O,
OF employment by its suspension. Til
a HUM & Hunt ore houses are full an
Ia otverfowing, and no more is being hoiste
because there is no place to put it, an
the Superintendent says he will have n
III more hauled to the mill until there is
prospect of it being crushed. As SOC
as the mill starts again full forces will |
M put to work in the HUM & Hunt mine
