SIX PAGE EDITION.
SILVER CITY.

We find the following very COM
plimentary remarks concerning our
town and its prospects, in the Enter
prise of Friday last:
Anv one who visits Silver City for
the first time will see everywhere
about him the indications of an old
settled country. Many of the locust
trees are six or eight inches in diam
eter. and were planted at least twelve
wears ago. The remains of stone
cabins are visible, where miners III
the early days of Washoe cooked
their bacon and made saleratus bread
while visions of wealth, before which
the wondrous yield of the Gould and
Curry paled, floated through their
excited imaginations. There are the
ruins of old primitive quartz mills
and arastras, which have been long
since abandoned, as the rich crop
pings on the surface ran into barren
quartz. The stream flowing down
Gold Canyon, which was once OF
crystal purity, is now turbid with
tailings and the refuse of reduction
works at Gold Hill. The ancient
prestige of DEVILS Gate has long
since faded, and of the hundreds OF
prospectors who sunk shafts and run
tunnels, the mouths OF which line
the road on both sides, scarcely one
ia left. But the region has not been
abandoned by any means. On the
contrary its promise is more flatter-
ing than was ever anticipated by the
most sanguine of the original min
ers. The Justice, Woodville, New
York, Lady Washington and other
we'll known mining companies are
sinking shafts hundreds of feet in
depth, and have fair prospect of
striking the rich ore of the genuine
Constock. Within the last two
wears the lower end of the vein has
commenced a new era of progress.
Costly hosting works, supplied with
new and improved machinery, are
being erected, and many mining ex-
perts are of the opinion that devel-
opments will be made equal in ex-
tent and richness to the best mines
farther north on the ledge. Silver
City itself sympathizes with the
mining improvements in its vicinity
and is improving with astonishing
rapidity. On the hills on the east
side of town a great number of ele-
giant and substantial dwellings were
erected last season, and the number
will be doubled during the coming
summer. Real estate is held at
high figure, and from present ap-
pearance, it will not be long before
a continuous city extends from be-
low Silver City on the south to &C.
dar Hill on the north.

The revenue law was amended
and came into force on the 9th of
last month, to read as follows
"Bank checks, drafts, order or
voucher for the payment OF any
sum of money whatsoever, drawn
upon any bank, banker, two cents. "

THE SUTRo TUNNEL.-Notwith-
standing the efforts made to stop the
flow of water in the Sutro Tunnel, a
small stream is still running. In
order to allow the men to continue
work the track has been raised and
a ditch cut below it. Men are now
engaged at the header, and hopes
are entertained that the water will
soon cease to flow.

Probably nobody was 30 delighted with
the news of the purchase by England of the
khedive's shares in the Suez canal as the
head of the great Remington Arms Com
pany in this city. The company has been
for two years past filing an order for arms
and ammunition for the Egyptian govern
ment, and as q result finds itself Egypt's
creditor for an immense amount of money.
The company is very wealthy, and can wait
for its money as long as may be neces sary,
but Oriental credit is not Just now above
par, and the Remington Company is anxious
to realize on its bills. Already a partia al
payment has been made on the strength of
the Suez canal sale. The Remington Com.
pany is now filing orders for several foreign
nations, and has lately adopted the pre-
caution of requiring security on all orders
receives. A Providence concern has
also large order from the the Ottoman
government for arms, and there lie now in
that city large warehouse filed with
arms belonging to the Sultan and partly
paid for. The Turkish minister in Wash
ington recently ordered the property in
sured against fire; but a. soon as the bal
ance due on the contract is paid the arms
will be shipped to Constantinople. Nearly
all the American manufacturers of firearms
have agents abroad constantly seeking
orders from foreign powers, and persist
emit effort was made by all of them to secure
large contracts from Austria; but they were
not successful. These concerns are mostly
kept in operation on orders from abroad,
and judging by the price of their stock must
be prosper0us.-New York Co,Yespondent
