SILVER CITY.

Many persons familiar with the region
are fast becoming firmly grounded in the
opinion that Silver City is destined to
become, at no distant day. one of the
hveiiest mining camps in the State. She
Is certainly at present making rapid
strides in that direction. Many residents
OF the town have always had the strong
est faith In the value OF their neighbor-
hood as mining region, and have al
ways maintained that the hidden wealth
in that vicinity would be developed to the
enrichin2 OF thousands; but the town has
never contained men Of capital who were
either by occupation or inclination fitted
to undertake any manner OF mining en-
terprise. With the exception of few
merchants and millmen. the inhabitants
OF the town are and always have been Of
moderate means. Particularly has this
been the case with the miners of the
town and the men who were inclined to
venture into mining enterprises. For
this reason the district has been SO far
neglected, until quite recently, as to leave
it about where it was in 1860. Save H.,
sinking of a few shafts to the depth OF
eighty or one hundred feet. it was almost

dreds of feet. The old circular shafts,
looking like AS many wells, were all that
was to be seen in the district. Now,
however. under the impulse of capital,
the wealth of the place is becoming to be
developed. Mines are being open in
which crowds Of men find employment,
and yet these the leading mines of the
district, have attained no great depth.
The Dayton is down 400 feet, the Buck
eye about the same, and the Silver Hill
about $50. On the Comstock, in tie
vicinity Of this city, such depths would
De counted AS mere nothing and it
would hardly be thought worth while to
run of prospecting drifts until greater
depth had been attained. All about
Silver City-in the town, east, west,
north and south of the town-the whole
surface of the ground is filled with quartz
veins, evidently feeders Of an immense
vein running under the place at con-
siderable depth. Some OF the largest of
these are six or eight feet wide in places,
while the smallest are not thicker than u
knife blade, yet there is not one of these

ing exceedingly rich. They run in vari.
ous directions through the surface, and
all are evidently feeders of the big
mother vein lying far below. Some Of
these small veins or feeders, as the old
Pride of the West and others, have con.
tained pockets that were astonishingly
rich; in places paying very high wages
in early days when rudely washed in the

The Truckee Republican gives the fol-
lowing picture OF Winter life in the
Sierras: As Truckee is blessed with more
snow than any other town Of its size in
California, it may be of interest to the
outside world to know how people en-
dare so much luxury and cold comfort.
10 obtain an entrance to private DWELL
ing, you have to descend down narrow
incline through the snow to perpendic-
niar depth Of from six to ten feet, and
you reach the front door. You enter the
sitting-room and find lamps burning.
It's broad daylight on the outside, but
without the lamp it would be darkness
within, for the windows are all sealed up
by soidly banked snow. The snow NAV
be only five or six feet deep on a level, but
the buildings act as barrier, against
the snow drifts, and these drifts are in-
creased by that which slides from the
roof. until in many instances the caves
OF the latter are reichsd. Back Of the
business houses and block on Front
street the snow has ccumulated in places
to the depth of twelve to twenty feet.
Where it is so deep, instead of open cuts,
tunnels are made through the mass to
afford egress and ingress from the rear.
