BARTLETT CREEK. - Judge Badly
Green arrived IN town yesterday from
Bartlett Creek. He says the Badger
Mill il running as steadily as water will
admit of aud turning out considerable
bullion, considering the disadvantages
under which it is worked at present.
The Independent ledge is prospected
by shaft to depth Of ninety-ive feet,
and some seventy-fve tons of ore ex-
tracted in sinking it is now on the
dump. A new ten-stamp steam mill
has been ordered by the Badger Mill
and Mining Company, owners of the In
dependent mine. and is expected to ar
rive here next Monday. Judge Green
says that when this mill gets to running
the bullion product of the Bartlett
Creek mines will astonish San Fran
ciscoans, and convince the skeptical
that the mines in that section are what
he has represented them to be, as good
as any ia the State outside of the Com
stock

ANTIMoNr DISTRICT. - Charley Gil
bert arrived here yesterday from Anti
mony district, near the Humboldt Salt
Marsh. He says the mines contain an
unlimited quantity of anthony ore,
specimens of which he showed us, when

like sealing wax. Two men are now
engaged at making road from the
mines to the Austin and Winnemucca
road, aud as soon as the grade is com
pleted they will commence shipping
ore to the railroad at this station. Mr..
Gilbert had also rich specimens of sill
yer ore from his mine north of the salt
marsh, from which he has had several
lots worked here and at Austin.
JoCKEyING. We are Informed by one
of the parties to a horse race. which
was to have come off few evenings
ago, that new system OF jockeying
WAS devised for the occasion. A wire
was tied around the fore leg of one of
the horses unknown to his hacker,
after which the hair was carefully
smoothed down to conceal it, the object
being to cripple the animal. Owing to
some disagreement on details the race
did not come off at the appointed time,
and the wire was discovered.

general conversation here yesterday.

strong evidence that the affairs of the
institution were in sad condition, and
that the great Bank of CALIFORNIA;, which
controlled the politics of Nevada, the

Board of San Francisco, and the
finances of the Pacific coast for many
years, had been worsted ia the fight
of the millionaires, and lay powerless
