NEVADA SENATORS past week has
exhibited the two Senators for Nevada III
very different roles. An Article that mas
been copied from Maine TO Caliioihia
has told us Of the wonders oil Senator
Stewards new mansion in Washington.
As one reads Of the adornments. the
elegance, the cost 81 that iairy-like
home, the story Of Aladdin's lamp comes
almost instinctively TO the mind. by
some such magical influence alone can
one imagine bill Stewart the owner
and occupier of a palace upon which the
wealth, the luxurlousness, anu the
charms of CLEOPATRA might more Mt
tingly have been lnylshed. Nenly, we
live in strange times. The mafVeiS
worked by the wonderful lamp, the meie
recital Of which SO charmed us IN our
youth, were as nothing compared with
the substantial miracles achieved to-day
by aid of the almighty dollar. Aladdin 8
good fortune was but thing OF
imagination Stewart's Is matter oil
happy realization. Yes, says the imp
at our elbow, .'realized in Washington.
And now comes Senator Jones, who, I'M
like his colleague, took more fortune TO
Washington than he is likely to bring
away. OF fame, it seems certain he VIII
gather his share. 1t was but the other
day that the Eastern papers spoke half
contemptuously OF him as the wealthy
miner who had bought the Senatorshlp
for the pocket borough Of Nevada. ~ In
one short hour all that has been changed.
The telegram informs US that now every
incident of his life is being eagerly
sought for and published by these self
same papers. One Unexpectedly able
speech did it all. Such is fame! The
News Letter predicted at the time of his
election large measure of success for
Senator Jones. We knew he had the
ambition to make a name for himself,
and We had an abiding faith that in point
Of ability he would surprise even his
friends. 1t was a happy determination
which led him to select the great tinan-
cial problem of the day as the subject OF
his first effort. Eastern statesmen have
become SO accustomed TO paper currency
that they know not the value of specie
payments except in theory. Nevada s
new Senator could tell of their superior
ity from practical experience. Green
backs and panic had gone together in the
East, whilst here metallic currency has
been accompanied by commercial stabil-
ity and prosperity Confning himself
to a subject he thoroughly understood,
Senator Jones has made himself one OF
the most talked-of men III the coun-
try.-[S. F. News Letter.

QUARTZ DISCOVERY. - The Nevada
Transcript of April 10th has the follow
ing:
A ledge known as the Italian ledge, i'll
the rear of the National Hotel. in this
city, was prospected some years since
and found to be very rich in specimens.
1t was sunk to as great depth as water
would allow and was from some cause
abandoned. Recently parties have dis
covered what is supposed to be the con-
tinuation of the same lead, near Temper
ance Hall at the foot OF the steps leading
up to Prospect Hill. The ledge at a
depth of eight feet is three feet in thick
ness, and shows well in sulphurets and
free gold. 1t is believed it is rich, and
will pay largely. The fortunate miners
intend prosecuting work on it and prove
its value. 1t is lucky find.

JOE MENDEs, of Franks" returned
on Sunday from his trip to the Big
Smoky Valley, lying between Belmont
and Austin. He does not give a very
tlattering account of that locality. The
snow is still deep throughout the valley,
and the carcasses of defunct bovines are
strewn in all directions, showing that the
cattle Jared badly during the past Winter.
The mining prospect is far from favor
able-but one mine is being run. and
that not producing paying rock. Taken
as whole, the aspect is not encourag-
ing, and the parties who are now pros
pecting in that direction will all soon
leave, and turn their attention to districts
where their efforts will be attended with
greater success.-[E Eureka Sentinel, 14th.

The bridge over Feather river at this
