THAT BURIED TREASURE. - That
old story of the hidden treasure,
buried somewhere in Table Noun
tain by the "road agents Of the
early Gays, is again eing agitated by
some of the creduious of this town.
One man says he can |. cate the spot
to within one hundred yards. An
other one has been told by one Of the
convicts at Carson that the reported
treasure is no fable, and that when
his time expires he will secure it, as
he knows just where the hiding place
is. The story, rs Dcar MS We can
learn it, is that in early days a party
of coach robbers made Table Noun
tain their rendezvous, and that their
captured plumber was hidden in short
shafts dug in among the rocks. The
gang was broken up-some sent to
prison, others bsnished, and still
others met with the hangman's rope.
A convict now in the State Prison
has, through some means unknown
to us, lately told Of treasure there yet
unearthed, and has succeeded in Gre
ating considerable interest here in
Silver City. A party is now being
formed to examine the mountain
thoroughly and test the truth Of the
story. There may be something
come of it, but we doubt it,

PITTsBURG Coal MINE.-In COM
pany with three gentlemen, repor-
ter Of the TINES visited the latest
discovery of coal iu Lyon County, on
Sunday last. The Pittsburg is To-
Gated about twelve miles east of Day.
ton-one and half miles east of the
Black Diamond Company-and in
Palmyra District. An incline shaft
has been sunk thirty-nine feet six
inches, at an angle OF about seventy
degrees, and seventeen feet at On
angle Of about forty degrees. On
the surface coal indications were dis
ccrnible III seam of about four
inches; at a depth Of thirty-nine feet
it had widcned to near or quite six
teen inches; from there it widened
rapidly, and at the time Of our visit
tunnel of about five feet in width
by six feet in hight was in solid coal
formation, with no sign of wall rock
on top or either side, the bottom of
the tunnel following bed rock. The
coal closely resembles, if it is not
really, camel coal. In the centre of
the tunnel header is seam, at the
top about six inches, widening at the
bottom to near or quite twelve
inches, Of soft, bright lustrous coal,
of very pure quality, which burns
very freely from the flame of a
match or candle. The company
have square timbers on hand to
thoroughly timber the shaft, and will
test the mine, be the expense great or
small. Some fifty or one hundred
pounds of average samples were
brought in by the party, some of
which await the inspection of those
interested at the TINES office. Come
and look at it.

HOUSTON MINE.-At the invita-
ton of Superintendent Brown-of
the firm of Wilson Il Brown, Vir
ginia-we spent couple of hours
investigating the prospects of this
new development. 1t is situated
about two miles from Carson, in q
southwest direction, we'll up on the
mountain. The main shaft perpen.
dicular, is down a distance of 90 feet,
and is well boxed. From the bottom
of this shaft tunnel is run to the
south west l6 feet. Some fifteen feet
from the surface an incline shaft was
run down some fifty-six feet, but
has been abandoned for prudential
reasons-a perpendicular shaft being
deemed more economical. Three
hands are employed; very little
blasting being required; one man in
shaft, two at the windlass. The sam.
pies OF ore we ourselves took Il ON
the breast Of the incline and tunnel,
together with the extent of the ledge,
would indicate very valuable mine
in prospectus. The mine is very
economically and scientifically work
ed, and will yet occupy a prominent
position in the daily sales of the

Coach ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bros.
big passenger coach, running be-
tween Silver City and Gold Hill, met
with an accident OH the down trip
yesterday noon which resulted in
breaking the pole of the coach and
fracturing the carpus bones Of Mr..
G. Pendola's wrist. The accident
occurred at the bend above the Silver
Hill works. Repairs have been
made ON the grade at this point, and
while passing over it one of the
wheels dropped into hole, cracking
the pole short off and nearly upset
ting the "bus." By prompt work
with the brake and good manage
ment of the horses, however, Candy,
the driver, kept his load right side
up. Mr.. Pendola and another pas
sengcr were considerably frightened
at first and lcaped from the top to
the ground, the former striking on
his hands and fracturing the bones
of his wrist The other passenger
sustained only scratch or two about
the knees. Mr.. Pendola was taken
to the Office of DIR. Schnabel, who,
with the assistance of DR.. Kirby, set
the wrist and put the arm in good
shape. No blame can be justly at
tached to the driver, as it was one of
those most natural accidents which
occur on that uneven grade, and had
the passenger remained on the coach
he would have been all right. Mr..
BENEFITS has given the wounded man
a room and all the comforts of the
hotel until he is able to work again.

SrocKs.-Private letters from San
Francisco parties whom we deem re-
sponsible and careful in making
written statements, state that it is vet
very uncertain about the Bank of
California resuming business as early
as has been frequently stated-Octo-
Der LIST or 4th-and that "there is
yet reasonable doubt that it will
ever resume" Contrary to the opin-
ion of many hereabouts, these parties
predict low market at the opening
Of the Big Boards, and that "wild
cats will go out of sight. These
are the predictions, and are only
given as such. In buying or selling
stocks every one must be his own
financial prophet.
