Bsb Archer, Of the SaSstao Saloon,
has shown NJ a lsttsr from Dsvs Nagis,
formerly Of this place, and now In Pam
amint, in which he gives . glowing de-
scription Of tho new camp. He says:
81 seldom advise parties 10 come to new
mining camps, but In this instance I
have no hssitancy In giving you all the
information you desire. and advice also.
I consider this the richest mining camp
ON the coast. Ihavs had moro expert
snce In mining than nins-tsnths Of the
men who travel, miners or experts, In
the mountains, and I know what mines
are without waiting until they are down
o thousand feet. When ! hrst saw the
mines here I was satisfied Of their per
manency and richness; and, now that
they are being developed, my opinion Ia
fully confirmed. All reports in the pa
pors ~dstracting from tho wealth Of this
district are simply q tissue Of false
hoods. The mines are better than any
I have seer in either California or Ne
vada.
Stewart and Jones are taking out ore
that would SGT some Of the Washce
mine owners crazy. In two months
they will have q 20-stamp mill running.
and before Spring will have two Of them
pounding away on ore that averages
$500 to the tor. They r now taking
out Of one mine 30 tens per day, and
when the mine Is fairly opened can take

other such nina There are at least
ten large frst-class mines, and hundreds
| Of smaller ones, some even richer than
the above. Over 800 men are now
working. There Is not d man in the
camp idle that wants TO work, and more
men are wanted. advise you 10 come
Immediately. I will. In . few days,
have the finest saloon outside Of San
Francisco on the coast-26x50 fset-snd
the finest bar and stock that money can
purchase. This place will be another
Virginia City. Times are lively. money
plenty. and every one in high hopes and
full Of confidence.
The camp Is extensive; hundreds OF
lodges run through the mountains, ssmo
carrying ore OF the very highest grade.
Senator Stewart and Henry Jones are
here, employing all the men they can
get. The population Is increasing every
day. We win have 1900 or 5000 men

yourself what our camp will Be. Judge

Owing to tho excitement Of the cleo

last week:
Out Of regard for the feelings Of the
families Of the parties concerned, we re-
frain from mentioning names which.
however, are well known in this city.
The couple had long loved; and, q short

hand Of the lady In marriage, from her
stern and cruel father. and wa kicked

qusntly treated TO showers Of hot water
by the maternal parent Of his adored,
and interviewed by the family dog TO tho
extent Of three pairs Of pants, he still
continued his attentions. The object Of
his affections viewed with heart-brsak-
ing sorrow the prosecutions OF the idol
OF her soul, but was powsrless TO pre-
rent them, as she was kept confined In q
cabin in q secluded part Of the town and
kept from all communication with the
unfortunate young mar Last week,
however. the young man discovered the
whereabouts Of his beloved and managed
TO communicate with her, when she sx-
pressed a willingness to fly with him.
On the appointed night the lover was
on hand. The night was pitchy dark.
and a gentle rain pattering on the roof
prevented the stern parent Of tho girl
from hearing the stealthy footsteps
Of her lover. Approaching the cabin.
he drew his trusty pocket knife. and
soon picked enough Of the mud which
flled the intersticcss Of the logs Of which
