the Silver City Reporter Of the 2sth, a
most astonishing and valuable discoy-
cry of jewels was made in the bottom
of the Weber shaft, loca!ed just south
of the Ko>suth hosting works, by the
hour az O'Clock n,idnigh) it is impos
sible tu give more than a mesger ac.
count of the discovery, or the treas
nre, which it has exposed to the gaze
of the excited miners, as our reporter
was only allowed To lake a short peep
at the valuable mass. A glance At and
short inspection OF The mass rs it ~as
emptied GU. of the bucket, revealed a
magnificent gold watch, chain, finger
rings, jewelry of different kinds,
precious stones, and gold coin, in all
about 160 pounds. The treasure, when
found, was carefully done up in an old
suit of miners clothes, much worn
and encrusted completely with dirt
and mold. 1t was not known, when
our reporter left the mine, how they
could have been placed there; but as
the ground in the north side OF the
shaft near the bottom is nearly loose
dirt, it is supposed that The shaft is
now cutting an old drift from n neigh
boring mine on tho east, where it ha,
been said hy some that tire Vas
concealed by the stage robbing black
smith, who vas sent to the Stale Prison
from this city about four Years ago,
and for which much search has been
made. The treasure is now in charge
of j. Il. hutchinson, superintendent OF
the mine, and will be on public eXhi-
billion to-day at the silver House.
A Virginia Chronicle reporter last
Wednesday wrote an item about the
Virginia Savings Bank, and M of the
head lines which he put to the item
WAS "A new and thriving institution"
He was somewhat astonished on tak
ing u paper "tf the press on that alter
noon to read that the bank was "A
new and thieving institution" The
consequence VAS that the press was
stopped, the correction was made, and
the papers struck off up to that time
were destroyed. Fortunately, 10 pa
pers had been issued before The mis-
lake was discovered.
The Carson appeal saws: "That
crazy man, Gates, at the Nevada State
Prison, should be sent to Stockton.
He is hopeies>ly insane, or demented
rather. What necessity is there for
thus keeping u lunatic IN the peniten-
tisry when his Incarceration IL so pro-
| ductive of evil, and so unjust to his
condition? All sense of humanity
teaches that there can not exist such a
condition of affairs ~ to justify the
keeping of II crazy man in such "A po-
sition az that he may not have the
very best treatment of those who can
minister TO u mind diseased"

A good deal of prospecting is being
| done in the neighborhOod of Steam
boat Springs. That region is con~id-
cred to be very rich in both sulphur
aud quicksilver and the men who are
prospecting don't much care which
| way luck may lead them-w whether il
may ba cinnabar or brims.one that
makes them rich.
1t il said that upon careful investiga-
ton, it is found that the recent Trevil-
lian-Snllivan prize fight did not occur
in Lyon county, and Sheriff Cooke
will not have the pleasure Of arresting
those who interiered with him in the
supposed discharge Of his duties on
that day.
