The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1876-02-11

Mill Wanted.
CoRNUcoPIA, Feb. 6.
The last number of the SILVER STATE
received here contained letter from
Paradise, which was read here with
considerable interest. That letter
stated that the citizens of that valley
took deep interest in
THE owYHEE BRIDGE.
1t is right that they should, MS teams
are arriving here frequently from that
section with flour and other products,
as well as from Winnemucca. All are
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
committee, and when they come Judge
Sinclair and others will give them all
the information they can relative to
the best site. All are anxious to have
the bridge built (the Post man to the
contrary, notwithstanding The Hussey
will build mill in the spring,
and with the bridge. all the freight will
come from Winnemucca. This is the
general talk and opinion here. Elko,
with its five cents per pound freight,
does not compare with Winnemucca at
two and one-fourth aud two and one
half cents. The eyes of the blind are
getting opened. Let that committee
come soon, and if time is given, there
will be responsible bidders from this
place. Ringgold and others will try to
do the work.
+ | wonder how the Post man can &C
count for our merchants shipping all
their goods by way of Winnemncca if
the Eko route is so much superior? 1t
appears to me, if some want soap, he
needs less old rye. and something to
clear his intellectual vision.
THE oUAcKERY ACT.

liam will come out. The case will come
up for trial before the next term of the
District Court.
There is something in the wind
ABOUT OUR MINES,
But where it is, | cannot tell at present,
as things are kept sub rosa. That
big strike has been made In some one
of the mines - Leopard. Hussey or
Panther-there is no doubt. Some
rumors have it in the Leopard, with
ore that assays $4,000 to the ton. but
little rebellious; others that it is in the
Hussey; and some say the Panther.
Something is surely in the wind. A
private messenger Was sent post haste
to Elko yesterday evening. and l think
you will in few days hear something
good from this camp. The weather is
pleasant now. and roads from the mine
to the mill are good. Mr.. Willard. the
contractor for the hauling of ore. is
using every endeavor to get rock ahead,
so the mill will have plenty to work
when the roads gets bad Theirs is not
now much danger of the mill shutting
down. The company are already
making preparations to work the re-
bellious ores. Everything now indi-
Gates an early spring. and prosper
Gus season.
The great cry is fora
CUSTOM MILL.
There are many lodges here which pro-
duce good paying ore. and easily
worked, if milis were afforded to add
greatly to the mineral productions of
this camp. / have no doubt that
custom mill of equal capacity of the
Leopard mill would continually yield
as good results in production of
bullion.
The new mining camp west OF here,
in Aurora District. is attracting some
attention now. Prospects there assay
well. some as high as $4,000 per ton.
1t is about twenty-six miles nearer
Winnemncca than this place.
But l must close, as this letter is
getting sufficiently long. so l will stop,
