lfrom the silver state. June 2oI
Last week Mike Donley. Of Pleasant
Valley. sold six bull calves, Of the short
horn Durham breed, receiving therefor
$500 in gold coin. Mr.. Ashley. who
owns a stock ranch on Coyote Creek.
purchased two Of the calves ut 800
each. The young animals = still
smoking their mothers, and no n Of
them was over two weeks old when sold.
They are 20 continue on the ranch with
the cows until next November, when
they will be delivered 10 their recent
purchasers. This sale proves that there
Is moro money in good stock than in
poor, and should encourage our stock
raisers to improve the breed Of that
already on hand.
Mossrs. Nelson and Twiss, who for
some time past have been prospecting a
claim in Dun Glen, have succeeded in
developing a splendid two-foot vein OF
very high grade IN. Since commencing
work on the claim they have taken out a
great deal Of ore. This was all saved
and piled upon the dump, and last week
il was assorted by the owners and ten
tons Of frst-class ore taken therefrom
and shipped to Reno for reduction.
Some samples Of the ore shipped aver
aged over $500 in silver to the ton.
The Eagle mine. now the property Of
the Oakland G.. & s. N. Co., bids fair
to become tho Comstock Of Humboldt
county. In the old works the ledge is
eight feet wide, and the ore. which can
be shoveled right into a bucket without
blasting or picking. assays SSi in silver
and so in gold to the ton. In the new
shaft recently started from the surface
and at present fifty feet deep, the ledge
is over nine feet wide and the ore richer
than any ever before found in the mine.
Steve Terrill. the foreman. was in town
last Sunday with specimens from the
new shaft that astonished old prospec-
tors, so rich were they in gold and silver.

a car load (ten tons) OF ore from the
Millionaire mine. The first-class ore in
this lot went a trife over Si0i per ton.
and the secopd-class a little over S2O6.
This il the second car load Of ore from
the Millionaire mine. within a few
months, that Mr.. Stampley has had
at Reno, and this second lot
shows n considerable increase in value
over the first.
