A specimen of gold and cinnabal
recently forwarded from Big Horn
Lake is reported to assay 81 900 to
the ton. The ledge, it is claimed
has been traced distance of seven
ty- five miles. There is great excite
ment over the discovery.
Superintendent Greenwell, of the
Rye Patch mine, was in town yes
terday. He informed us that the
Rye Patch mill is running steadily
on ore from the company's mine,
and is producing considerable bull

At regular meeting OF the Board
of Directors of the Prospect Mining
Company, in San Francisco on
Thursday last, Mr.. Benjamin Flint,
of the firm of Flint, Bixby 81 Co.,

A late letter from the noted Tybo
mine says; "Since starting furnaces
| on the 18th, we have made two ship
ments of bullion, ten tons each, Nos.
"a and s5. No. "a assays 81, ,lS4.lo;
| No. So assays 81, ,405 10. The wines
and slopes are all looking well and
yielding good ore.
The Leopard Mining Company
have just levied their first assessment
of Sl.00. 1t is necessary from the
fact that heavy hoist.ng works are to
be erected over the company's shaft
| and chlorinizing furnaces added to
their large reduction works.
We learn that rich strike was
made day before yesterday at Broo ok.
lyn. A body of free milling ore was
unearthed, the ledge being six feet
in width and the rock assaying about
$50 per ton. We hope that the New
York Company will make a fortune
out of their find.-[rhe Reno Jour
nal, April 1lth.
The Houston mine, westerly from
the North Carson (both in Eagle Val
ley District), recently struck a large
body of water. Mr.. Brown thinks
that the striking of water is an indi-
cation OF near approach to the
ledge, and confidently expects to
strike il before many days shall have
expired. The ore body looks as well
if not better than before.
Some favorable reports are coming
in from Aurora District. We are
informed that ore from new discov-
cries assays very high, one test show
ing $530.77 to the ton in silver. The
lead from which it was taken is stu
ated up in the mountains where the
snow still lies, and as no work of
consequence has yet been expended,
The size of the vein Is unknown, but
the groupings are very large and
rich.
The recent development in the
mines located on Prospect Mountain
have attracted the attention of the
miners and others interested in the
development of our mineral wealth,
and as soon as the snow melts suffi
ciently the mountain will be alive
with prospectors, miners and specu-
lators. Parties from Huntington
Valley recently purchased the Char
lotte mine, which has shown fine
prospects.-[The Sentinel, April Sth.
The machinery for the North Car
son mine arrived at Carson on the 5th
inst, consisting of engines, boilers,
sheaves, etc. The "Tribune" says:
ave don't pretend to say that in the
| North Carson mine will ore be found
| to equal that of the Consolidated
| Virginia; but this we do assert: that
| the prospects in that mine and 9th
| ers in this locality are superior to
any ever struck in the early days OF
the far famed bonanzas.
A letter Of the 2Sth ut. says re
specting the Gila, in Reveille District;
Cross cut from bottom of shaft is in
ten feet, face still in lime, and very
hard. The 200.toot level has reached
a point 430 feet south from shaft, and
about 20 feet south from where
winze No. 10 will come through.
The winze is 80 feet deep, has passed
out of quartz and is in porphyry
proving beyond question an exten.
sive fault in the vein, and that the
whole top of the hill to the depth OF
200 feet or more, has been moved tC
the east.
The San Bernardino (Cal.) gar
gus' says that copper mine of vas,
wealth has been discovered just the
other side of the Mohave river, and
in few days we may expect ship
ment of several thousand pounds OF
the ore in this city, several large
teams having gone out for that pur.
pose. The ledge is said to extend
for miles and some three or toul
hundred feet wide, and the ore will
probably assay about forty-five pei
cent. of pure copper, little silver
and some lead.
