NEVADA STATE ITEMS.

MAgING THEMSELVES MANIFEST. 49, As
has for some time been known to the
police and to all cid residents, this place
is being made sort Of ''city Of refuge"
for the thieves, burglars, bighwaymen,
sharpers, cut.throats and other desr crate
and villainous characters Of Utah, Mon
tana, Idaho, San Francisco and other
large towns of California. 1t has long
been expected that these desperadoes
would ere long venture to begin opera
tons in their several lines, and now, it
would seem. they have made little start
in business. just to see how our people
will take it. Night before last two foot
pads captured Johnny Orem, Gold Hill
miner, on the Divide, knocked him
down, gave him a bad beating, and then
robbed him of sci III coin. The same
night the cabin of Jack HaltZ, hard |
working miner residing in Lower Gold |
Hill, was burglarized and robbed of Sl20.
Also the same night, Mr.. Tilton, an old |
resident of this place, while on his way
to his residence in the northern part Of
the town, was set upon by two roughs
and knocked down, receiving heavy
blow across the nose with billy" or
bludgeon, and robbed of S22 so. This
is pretty well for q starter, and has only
to be followed up in the same spirit to
bring about some of the most interesting
"neck-tie" parties that have been seen
in the city for some years. Virginia

Grown Po1NT MISE.-The ore breasts
on the 1400-foot level improve in appear
ance as they are worked eastwardly.
The north Wine, which was started at the
east wall from the l400-foot crosscut, has
been sunk to vertical depth of about
eighteen feet. The entire bottom Of the
winze is in very rich ore, which con-
stantly improves in quality ns the work
of sinking the Wine progresses. Since
u connection was made with the Yellow
Jacket at the 1500-foot level, the temper
atnre of the level has greatly improved,
So that the men are able to carry forward
the main drift much more rapidly than
heretofore. The direction of this drift
is about ten degrees south OF east, so
that practically 1t may be regarded us
crosscnt. The ore encountered in the
drift assays we'll. Should large body
of ore be found by this drift, as is con-
fidently expected, the circumstance itself
will have a tendency to greatly enhance
the value Of both the Crown Point and
Kentuck mines, for the reason that if
an ore body is found in this drift it will
be at point much farther north than
any that has been encountered on the
levels above. The daily yield of ore is
at present $50 tons, which is being ex-
tracted from the 1000, 1900 and l30O.toot
levels.-[Gold Hill News, It'll.
The Superintendent Of the Carson
Mint, +. D. Hetrich, has caused some
very important additions to be made to
the producing capacity of that institu-
ton. The present capacity of the REIN
cry may be stated at Z 900 ozs. Of bullion
per diem. To accomplish this there are
in use two separating or refining
"houses," or tanks and two furnaces in
operation. These are the same that have
been in use since the Mint entered upon
the business of melting and refining bull
lion from the Comstock mines. In or
|
the increasing bullion products of the
Comstock, this capacity has been doubled.
In the original plan of the Mint room
was set apart as Mint museum or cabi-
net. 1t has never been used for that
purpose; and recognizing the superior
claims of the bullion producers to that Of
the antiquary and scientist, Mr.. Hetrich
has Utilized this room by erecting in it
two additional "houses" and two more
furnaces. These will soon be ready for
use. The repairs going on upon the
Mint roof have reference to this increase
of capacity. When everything is we'll
under way in the new room it will be
possible to handle as much us $4,000
ounces of bullion daily Carson APP

BELcHER MINE.-The Gold Hill News
of Saturday contains the following in
regard to the present condition and fu-
ture prospects of this mine: The main
incline is down 81 feet below the 400
foot level. The north drift from the
l4O0-foot station is in 10 feet in hard
rock. The south winze on the 1300-foo,
level is down 100 feet. All of the ore
breasts and slopes throughout the mine
are looking and yielding splendidly
The lower levels look better and better
as further developed, and the prospects
Of the Belcher mine at the present tins
, are about as fattering as reasonable
stockholders need ask. The daily yield
of ore is at present $50 tons, which il
being extracted from the 1000, 1900 and
1300-foot levels. The total yielding o.
3 the mine for January was over 1000,
{ 900.
