Reveille District.

with Mr.. g. e. Clarke, who arrived in
Eureka from that place Yesterday.
The district is situated about a hun.
oreo miles to the southwark from Ell
reka, and was established in the Fall
OF 1866. Ore of a high grade was pro-
duced from the beginning of develop
ments, and i'll considerably large
quantities. a New York
brought a wet-crushing mill ! n from
Washoe, but its operation was not an
entire success, owing to the quality of
the ore, which vas of such a nature
that the process of crushing with
water would not save more than tiftv
per cent. OF its assay value. This un-
fortunate circumstance for the district
retarded very materially its onward
progress. Some of the companies
shipped their ore to Austin, at an
expense of over a hundred dollars
per Ton, thus making available only
ores of great value.
In April OF this year, Mr.. Clarke
had his attention directed to a piece of
ground, the surface appearance of
which was made attractive by the
total absence OF any vegetation upon
II. 1t was explored a few inches with
a shovel, n the proSpector was re-
warded by unearthing silver.bearing
E.lena and gray carbonate of lead,
which looked decidedly encouraging.
subsequent assays bore out external
appearances, and further working
disclosed a vein from ten to twenty
feet in width. with II wall of por-
phyry and the other of uuartzite.
the extent of the explorations, how
ever, up to the present time, does not
reach beyond q shaft with a perpen-
dlcular depth of not to exceed fifteen
feet. Good ore has been extracted
from the surface downward, with an
augmentation of richness as depth is
gained, and large quantities are at
present piled upon the dump, await
ing advantageous meanS for extract
ing the valuable metal. The ore be-
ing to a considerable extent plumbife-
rOuS, at the same time carving sut1i-
Gent iron for a fluX, a furnace is the
means the owners have in contempla-
ton for working it. The claim bears
the name of the discoverer. The
ledge has been explored in three diff
tercnt places or its longitudinal en-
tent, and in each case the same ~tlatter-
ing character of the formation is

Situated il lateral contiguity to the
Clarke mine is the Venus location.
holding 800 feet upon the strike of
the ledge, and 800 feet on is either
side. Developments upon this claim,
although as vet rather limited, bring
to view indications the most C
aging.
The Colon is a location in proximity
to the other two, and bears like good
prospects for a permanent mine.
Bouiders of silver-bearing galena,
weighing from fifty to Seventv-tive
pounds, were exhibited by Mr.. Clarke
Yesterday evening, which, for appar-
ent richness, are equal to any samples
of the same kind of ore produced in
III own district. Specimens of sui
phurets and chloride were also shown,
which speak most favorably of the
locality from which they were taken.
JUSTICES COURT Yesterday was
unusually lively in this Judiciary de
partment of our government. No
less than eight suits were recorded on
the docket VIII business closed in
the evening. SIX of these came I'M
der the civil code. and two within the
jurisdiction of the criminal law. The
party who followed the solicitation of
an officer the night before and took
rooms in Hotel de Sullivan, was Civ
Ell a Jury trial, and acquitted upon a
charge of petit larceny. Geo. A.
Burns, alias kelley" appeared to
answer to a charge of assault to do
bodily harm. His victim also APP
peared, and exhibited a head badly
bruised, as if the wound had been in
tlictei with a view to permanent in
Jury more than temporary punish
ment. He said he was walking along
Main street late night before last,
when some one. whom he identified
to be the defendant, came up to him
and struck him with a club, knocking
him senselesS. He could think OF no
reason WHY he should be served so,
as no difficulty had previously oc-
Cured between him and his asSall-
ant. Burns was sentenced to pay a
fine of eighty dollars, or remaln III
iail forty DAYS. He went to jail.

SlLvERADo.-John Shonebar was in
town Yesterday from the above min
ing section. Silverado is on the same
range with Pinto and Maryland
Wells. Mr.. Shonebar is working two
mines, namely the Duquette ana
Rescue. He showed us the result OF
two assays made Yesterday by Max.
Moeller. the wefl-known assayer.
The sample from the Duquette as
saved S754O3, and that taken from the
Rescue SSG39S. Both lodges are prom
Using, and Mr.. Shonebar Is
that his mines will soon be recog-
nized among the most valuable III
