MINING ITEMS.

copix, on Sunday last, four lars OF
bullion, valued at 80, $50 20, and by
Yesterdays stage two more bars,
worth 4,436 40.
The idaho "World" says that
Messrs. Walker & Kimmel, owners
of the Eureka mine, have struck the
ledge In their tunnel ut O depth Of
16O feet. Some of the ore pays as
high as $500 per ton.
Intelligence has just reached us
that rich and extensive strike has
been made in the third level of the
Paymaster mine at Ward District.
We understand that it is the first ore
that has been found in that particular
locality of the mines. The Paymaster
is getting to be sway up" mine
White Pine News.
J.C. Harris and J. C. Philips dis
covered new lead in Winnemucca
Mountain this week which promises
to be valuable. The groupings assay
$S7 per ton in silver and are three
feet wide. The discoveries have To-
Gated 1900 feet of the ledge in ac-
cordance with the United States min
ing laws.
James Sutherland. foreman of the
Humboldt Reduction Works, writes
that lot of ore from Aurora District
worked $l99 per ton in silver. Au-
rora is the new district recently dis
covered near the Owyhee, on the
Winnemucca and Cornucopia road.
We learn from the "Silver State"
that the Eagle Mill and Mining Com
pany of Lewis district made their
first shipment of bullion on the llth
inst. 1t consist ID of two bars, valued
at $4,000.
Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped on the
18th, for account of Manhattan Sill
yer Mining Company, 33 bars of bull
lion, weighing s,307 pounds and val
ued az $34,0l1 96.
Supt. Donnelly, Of the Eureka
writes as follows of
this fine mine: "Work at the mine |
has continued without iutermission
during the week. The general pros
poets are very encouraging, with
every hope of soon yeloping suf-
ficient ore bodies to keep two or three
furnaces employed; aud with ore of
a good grade that will prove more
profitable than that which we have |
had during the last three months. |
We have temporarily closed down
the furnaces, as the cost OF keeping |
the railroad open would consume a
good share of the smelling profits
and so we deem it advisable to sus
pend operations for few weeks, or
until we can accumulate sufficient
ore to warrant the resumption Of
work. This will furnish the much
needed opportunity for making the
repairs which are necessary, in plsc
ing machinery, shafting, coal bins,
etc., in proper condition for the
operations. The dead
work is as follows:
Eighth level winxe made Z feet;
now down So feet.
Eighth level drift made 25 feet.
Seventh level DRIFT made 10 feet;
raise made 80 feet.
Seventh level drift (between 9th
and 7th levelsi made l5 feet.
Sentinel DRIFT from shaft to lava
bed made 20 feet. Ore continues and
Is liable to lead to large deposit.
Sentinel drift from lava bed TO shaft
made 80 feet. Sentinel drift course
s. 800 W. made 35 feet, in good
looking vein matter, with good pros
poets for ore. Drift in Lawton SHAFT,
lst level to shaft in hill made 20 feet
in vein matter, with good prospects.

THE INFAMOUS HEAD.STONE
&WINNLE.

The Washington correspondent Of
{ 70 New York Sun gives the details Of
B,lknap's connection with the swir
die concerning the head stones Of
Union soldiers; and thinks additional
articles Of impeachment OF Belknap
will be framed concerning this swindie
also. He sums Up saying:
The story is, briefly recapitulated that
the Secretary Of War, who was so dis
interested in his friendships as to per-
init his friends to receive one, two or
three thousand dollars for favorable
introductions-who sold every iota of
his patronage to unscrupulcus cadet
brokers, post traders, and bankrupt
tailors-was not above selling his
office in the name of patriotism to en-
able q fellow tOwnsnian TO make $780,
600 in putting inferior marble head
stones over the graves of the legion OF
Union dead. Thus has the name Of
the late Secretary been inseparably
linked with robbing the living soldiers
and Decorating the graves of the dead
defenders of the nation. Until Gen.
Meigs returns 10 Washington the Conn.,
mittee on Military Affairs will not be
able to complete its labor in this direc-
ton, but when finished 1t will not need
any additional evidence from persons
who may conveniently use Canada as q
place OF refuge.

The SILVER ACT.-Our dispatches
from Washington to-day state that the
House bill for tho issuance of silver
coin in the place Of fractional currency
has been amended by the Financial
Committee of the Senate, by the inser-
ton of a section providing for the coin
age of a new silver dollar of 4l2 $40
grains Of standard silver, the new coin
TO be a legal tender to the amount of
SO in any payment except for GUS
toms and interest on the public debt.
The bill, as it passed the House, made
the new coinage a legal tender to the
amount of $50. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senate will not concur in the action
