MADE A STRIKE Colonel Dave
Weaver, an old resident of this coun-
ty, left here last Fall on an expedi
ton to Austin and Eureka. At the
latter place, he fell in with j. M.
Bailey, formerly resident of this
county, and became interested with
him in mining property situated in
Bald Mountain District, in the Ruby
range, about forty miles from Eu-
reka. Colonel Weaver obtained a
deed to the property, and went East
to his old home in Lancaster, Ohio,
where he organized company to
work the mines, and succeeded in
disposing of upwards of 100000
worth of the stock. The local pa
per in abiding to the matter says
the mining fever prevailed to great
extent, and everybody wanted more
or less shares of the stock; some OF
which sold at premium. The
Colonel will return in the Spring
with a pocket full of greenbacks,
and operations will be Immediately
commenced on the Mines Sttrer
State.

The BLUE LEDGE. In the Sec
ond East Range, which bounds
Pleasant Valley on the east, and is
in fact continuation of the range
of mountains which ends abruptly
three or four miles east OF this
place, silver bearing lead was
discovered some time since. 1t is
situated east of Hillyer's ranch,
near Golconda Peak, and in con-
sequence of the bright blue color
of the ore, was named the Blue
Ledge. 1t is owned by James
Watt, H. II. Smith, George Lam
bertson, and perhaps others.
Shortly after the discovery lot of
the ore was worked at the Hum
boldt Reduction Works, and is said
to have paid we'll. Since then
work on the claim has been sus-
pended, but has recently been re-
sumed. George Lambertson, who
was in town yesterday, informs us
that the owners have extracted a
large pile of ore since work was
resumed, a load of which they in
tend to bring here soon to have
reduced. He says the ledge is
four feet thick, and the rich streak
from eight to twelve inches wide.
A specimen of the ore brought
here by him is Enthusiastically rich
and contains both sulphurets and
chloride of silver Silver State,
18th.

THE MARKET.

Stocks continue to fiuctuate, and a
large business is being transacted.
The steady upward movement begun
with the month of March received
its first setback last Wednesday.
The presumable cause of this tenn
porary decline was the unloading of
heavy purchases, made at the
period of greatest depression,
which were thrown upon the
market by those who were ready
to realize. There are so many sharp
observers on California street, who
are backed by large amounts of coin
and who are ever on the qai rice to
make a small turn, that any con-
siderable rise is rendered difficult
indeed.
Since Wednesday an increasing
strength is manifested by securities,
and last evening the tide had to all
appearances changed to flood again.
Many of the prominent stocks are
selling at very reasonable figures
to-day. Others might be considered
high; but judgment and observa-
ton are frequently blind guides and
the cause of heavy losses to those
who look upon stocks in a mathe-
NAUTICAL light.
After the evening session perfect
furore was developed in Ophir, Mr..
Sherwood's heavy purchases carry
ing the price up to Sis per share.
With Ophirs prospects, develop
ments and position the figure is not
high, and the stock is favorite one.
George Ives and E. F. Hall were
equally engrossed with Best ~ Bel
cher and Gould Il Curry, sweeping
the Board room of all offered at
S35 so for the former and $40 so for
the latter. Consolidated Virginia
sold at S445. California was taken
in eagerly at 500. Mexican was
strong at S32. Union Consolidated
is one of the 1rmest stocks on the
list; and its neighbors, Sierra Neva-
da and Utah, are equally in favor.
Con tidence, Bullion, Chollar, Hale
Il Norcross, Savage and Belcher are
also in demand. In the American
Flat stocks considerable activity is
shown. Andes and Woodville were
also lively last evening" Fran.

ANOTHER RAILROAD LOVE
FEAST.
Contract Between the Maine Central and
the Portland & Rochester.

The directors of the Maine Central Railroad
Company had meeting at the Falmouth last
evening. Ex-Gov. Morrill,. Messrs. Wood and
Strickland of Bangor, Gov. Coburn, Patten,
Pierce, Alden, were among the number pres
ent. Among other matters was the appoint
ment of committee to take into consideration
a business contract with the Portland &
Rochester Railroad Company, in accordance
with request from that company. Messrs
Ward, Patten and Wood were appointed.
A committee from the Nashua & Worcester
Railroad Company, consisting of President
T. H. Kennicut and G. FL. Turner, md COM
mittee of the Portland & Rochester Railroad
Company, consisting of President Lynch,
Robbie and Wescott, have had conference with
the Maine Central directors in regard to the
business relations of the several railroad COM
panies thus represented. The policy of the
Maine Central Railroad Company has already
been set forth in it's contract with the Boston
& Maine and Eastern Railroad Companies. 1t
is of liberal character, and this company pro-
poses to give to the Portland & Rochester Rail-
road Company all, and as far as practicable,
the same facilities for business which it has
granted to the other roads going west from
Portland We understand that the connecting
railroad companies from Portland to Worcester
are satisfied with the arrangements which are
to be made with the Maine Central Railroad
Company as explained by their directors.
The receipts of the Portland & Rochester
Railroad have been largely increased since a
direct route has been opened to New York, and
there seems to be a steady increase. Our
Eastern travelling public will find this a very
desirable route, and close connections and sell
ing tickets along the line of the Maine Central
will materially add to the business of this new
western route.

TUEsDAY.-Harriet N. Wood VS.. John c. Proctor.
Trover for five $1,000 city of Portland bonds con-
verted by defendant August 18th, 1867. Plaintiff
says you as real estate broker, procured sale OF
my house lot in Portland to John E. Donnen and
ID. f. Emery at $50 900, one-third in city Portland
bonds and the balance in notes secured by mortgage
made deed directly to Donnell and Emery for the
consideration of $4,000 paid to me, you retained
$4,000 of the purchase money in the bonds sued for
which discovered only few days before the SIX
years expired and Immediately brought this suit.
Defense-True, as to the sale. the consideration
paid and the amounts received by you by me, but L
was not acting as your broker. had sixty day
bond for deed from you for $4,000, and within the
life of the bond procured purchasers and you re-
ceived much money if you conveyed directly to
me- and received from the sum named in the
bond You have received what you was willing to
sell for and have no just cause of complaint.
Reply-True, gave you such bond but you paid
me consideration for it, and elected not to take
the deed directly to yourself You would be entitled
to retain per cent. commission-$5O0 but not $4,000
as you have done.
Reioinder-I elected as matter of convenience
merely to save S45 in U. s. stamps to have the deed
pass directly from Mrs. Wood to Donnell and Emery
Instead of going Though me. John II. Wiggin and
William L. Putnam, your attorneys, knew all the
facts and Mr.. Putnam, by direction of your general
agent Wiggin, paid to me with his own hands this
s5OOO and the rest by my CONSENT to Mr.. Wiggn for
you, and as part of this arrangement your bond was
cancelled.
Plaintiff again-My agents had no authority to dis
pose OF my money in that way, and your commission
out of this is all you legally or equitably re-
ceive.
Defendant-A trade is a trade, you got all the
property was worth and what you agreed TO take.
The Jury having been out two hours without
agreement the case by consent of counsel was with

ExPLANAToRY.-Some of the officials concern
ed have commented rather barshly upon the
course Of the PRESS in publishing the item in
yesterdays issue relating to the robbery of the
County Treasury, In justice to ourselves we de-
sire to say that the news was not published until
it had become to certain extent public proper
ty. 1t was known to our certain knowledge to
large number of men in this city Monday, land to
several men two days before that, and was dis
cussed at least at one public table at which
many people were sitting, The announcement
that the Governor had issued his requisition
was teegraphed from Augusta little past
midnight yesterday, and from that moment the
facts we have set forth were patent to the
world.
No silence on our part would have aided in
the suppression of the facts No announce
ment on our part could have materially aided
in the dissemination of a report that was known
to so many men and that had already reached
the telegraph wires
1t is but just to say that our information was
not obtained from any of the officials connect
ed with the affair." The facts commented upon
were known about the street twenty-four hours
before we printed them, and the only news we
really conveyed tc many people was the an
nouncement of the Governors requisitioD, and
that was obtained from Augusta. The officials
were very particular to give us no information,
but appear to have been rather ''leaky" in 9TH
or directions. The news came by telegraph
early yesterday morning, and we did what 9TH
ers would have done. We published only those
additional facts that were current on the street.
We broke faith with 20 one, for no condolences
were made to us. We published no confiden-
tial communications, and made no promises to
keep the matter quiet We were not asked to
make any promises.
