ucopia, we obtain the following in regard
to the mines Of that district. in sinking
winze in the Leopard incline, immedi-
ately west of the Antelope tunnel at a
depth of four feet, three-foot vein OF
rock was cut that averages $50 per ton
in silver At depth OF 10 feet, IS in
ches OF blue clay was passed through
when another vein one foot wide was cut,
averaging Sl02, $2l of which was gold,
when another very heavy strata of blue
clay was encountered. At a decth OF
two feet in the new Wine and below the
surface "A feet vein was cut, from II
to l6 inches thick, with slight dip to
the east, which assays $3.50 per ton, free
gold being visible in many parts of the
vein. The company has also sunk q
shaft upon the Constitution 80 feet,
drifted II feet, and tapped the vein at a
point where it is three feet wide, with 254
feet of solid quartz of superior quality,
but no assay has yet been made. A drift
is now being run eastward upon the vein.
At depth of % feet on the Chloride,
at which point the ledge is two feet wide,
the mine yields ore the tirst-class of which
assays $500 per ton. Five tons of this
class has been sacked, and all the balance
will average $500 per ton. Many select
pieces Of the first.class will assay $4,000
and upwards. A lease to sink so feet on
this mine has been let to Messrs. Plum

A VALUABLE DIsCovERY.-Mr. Carson,
a lawyer of this city, has made a discov.
cry which should make his fortune. A
few weeks since he, by some chance dis
covered a mixture, composed of very
simple ingredients which operate like
magic upon any kind of grease-as an
extractor of grease from clothing or any
textile fabric. This fluid was found to
possess the property of cutting oil and
grease from machinery almost instantly
and in most unaccountable manner
The fluid applied with n sponge to an en-
CINE, when covered with grease burnt in
upon it, clears all away as readily as
water would wash away SO much mud.
This was the original discovery, but in
experimenting with it Mr.. Carson ascer.
tanned that by the addition of another in
gredient the fluid acquired new prop
erty. This is the power of furnishing
all metals. A piece of rusty and greasy
hoop iron washed with sponge dipped
in the fluid at once assumes the appear
nnce of n piece of highly polished steel.
Mr.. Casron assures us that the fluid
contains neither acid nor alkali, and in
proof OF this has no hesitation in wash.

ingredient which imparts q polish to
rusty iron is a thing very simple and
cheap. and asserts that should he name
it all will wonder that they never thought
of making this use of it. The fluid frs,
discovered is now in use at several OF
