Lake Mining District.

Mr.. w. R. Armstrong furnishes
the following in relation to this new
mining district, where he has valu-
able In .erests;
The district was discovered, 10.
Gated and NAMED by Messrs. Smith,
Lowe and Parker, and is situated ON
the east side Of the summit Of the
Sierras, near the headwaters of the
San Joaquin river, on the west side
of the mountains and tho head Of
Owens river ON the east.
The principal lead Of the new dis
trict crops out for distance Of a
mile and a halt, the groupings being
from FIVE to fifteen feet in width.
On this lode three mines or elaine
have been locateI-the Alpha, the
Morning Star and the Evening Star.
The groupings are plainly trsceable
through all three claims. Mr.. Arm
strong left Lake district little more
than week ago, bringing with him
ore broken from the groupings Of
the lead, from which he has obtained
very fiattering assays. We were
shown eight assays which run from q
few dollars up to $50 per ton, and
nearly all in silver.
The new district is situated about
sixty miles, IN southerly direction,
from Bodie. It contains an abundance
of wood and timber suitable for the
manufacture of lumber. Water is
also abundant and in sufficient guam
tlty for running water mills. Near
the mines are tour small lakes, the
largest of which is about mile In
length by half mile 10 width.
These lakes are from halt mile to
mile from the mines. The largest
lake has an outlet into the head
waters of the San Joaquin and the
others into Owens river. All are
beautiful little sheets Of water. Mr..
Armstrong expects to return to the
district in about a week.

THE Eureka Sentinel, in reply to the
assertion of the Stock Exchange that
the miners "intend to 60 for IS a day
and six hours work-tour shifts in
stead of three" says: snow that is
all bosh. The miners have no idea
Of attempting either to raise wages
or to reduce the hours of days
work. The labor market is over
stocked, and efforts have been made
on the Comstock and elsewhere to
cut down wages. 1t has also been
required Of miners on the Comstock
to board and hsaz:.ls>ss;:.sx ''nnses'
These things have warned them that
they are not over secure In the estab-
lished four dollars per day, and they
have SIMPLY taken steps for their own
protection and independence. The
surest way of accomplishing this-to
keep wages at the present standard
10 to oblige all miners not to work
for less than Uuion rates. The move
is proper one, and we hope II may
succeed III every mining town ia the
State.

Terrible Accident in the Belcher
Air.Shaft.

About 10 $50 O'Clock P. NJ. yesterday
four men were very dangerously, il
not fatally, wounded in the Bel.
cher and Grown Point joint air-shaft,
by the unexpected explosion of a
blast that had missed fire. The men
were using Burleigh drill, and had
just commenced to put in hole
when the explosion occurred. The
names of the men are Pat. Sullivan,
Sam Barrett, Billy Hancock and
Johnny Uglo. Barrett and Uglo were
handling the drill at the time, and
being nearest the face were more &c.
riously injured.
The wounded men were uncon.
scious when their comrades arrived,
but soon regained consciousness after
being raised 10 the surface and car
ried to the Belcher changing-room'
Here the physicians dressed the
wounded and put them in condition
to be taken to their homes.
Barrett was the worst hurt, and
will certainly die. He is the only
married man of the four, and resides
near the Hale & Norcross works in
Virginia City.
Uglo will probably not recover.
He lives at the Golden Eagle Hotel,
Gold Hill.
Sullivan had an ankle badly crush
cd, q knee severely cut, his si'ie caved
in, aud other injuries. He will be
taken to St. Mary's hospital.
Hancock was the leas, hurt. The
lobe Of his right ear was cut, and
also his head and face. He lives at

A New Medical Discovery,

Every community have persons
who are more or less troubled with a
terrible disorder call it scandal.
Having lived almost thirty years, and
having had occasion to study the va
rious symptoms ofthis disease during
great portion of that time, the writer
thinks he has discovered cure, and
prescribes as follows:
Take of good-nature one ounce; of
an herb called by the Indians mind
your .own-business, one ounce; mix
with little charity-for-failings and
two or three ounces of keep-your-
tongue bctween-your-teeth Simmer
together in q vessel called circum-
spection for time and the compound
will be ready for use The disease
above alluded to will be detected by
the following symptoms: A violent
itching in the tongue and roof of the
mouth, which invariably takes place
when you are in company with gos-
sips. When you feel it coming on
take a dose of the above and hold it
in your mouth until you get home.
If you find company at homo, and
you feel signs of a relapse, take copi-
GUS draughts OF the preparation. You
will find it will do you good.

THE MINERS Picnic. To say
there will be the largest gathering at
Farmer Treadway's ranch on the 9Th
Of September ever Witnessed at the
State capital, would be putting it
mildly. Already nearly every vehi-
Gle has been engaged for the day
The turn out from Virginia and Gold
Hill will be immense, while Silver
City, Sutro and Dayton will add
largely to the number. Tie Justice
Company have already given notice
to their employees that they will be
given u holiday on that occasion, and
we have no doubt most of the mines
on the Comstock will do the same
While all this was being brought
about the committees have not seen
an idle hour. The finest bands OF
music have beet engaged; the dane
ing floor will; lie specially placed il
good repair, the grounds peautiied
etc. The rifle teams to contest fol
the valuable prizes are practicins
daily, and it is thought there will bt
some of the best shooting of the sea

WELLS, FARGO s. Co.-Only few
of the Incorporated companies have
yet complied with the law in filing
certified copies of their articles Of
Incorporation with the Recorder of
this county. On Thursday Wells,
Fargo & Co. filed their certified
copies in Storey and Lyon counties.

OF it covered by these articles, was

act was passed approving change of
the name TO Wells, Fargo & Co.,

Pending negotiations fol
the sale OF his mine, ne had q small
lot Of the ore taken from q large
pile at his shaft and worked at q
mill as eample test. When the
return was made 10 small bar oil

creasing the value nearly one half,
be went to the well-known sssayer
Harris Of Silver City, and wanted

taking a ten-dollar piece from bis
pocket. said: "Just melt that with
it and say nothing about it." This
circum stance aroused the ire Of the
honest old assayer, and he told the
veteran prospecter" that he would
have nothing to do with it. Subse.
quently BIO exhibited q bar as the
result OF his test with about the in
creased value proposed. Soon Of
ter he sold the mine to San Fran
cisco capitalists, but it remains un-
developed to this day, and Q sample
from the dump refuses to give up a
rich prospect without the thumb
process.
The above, from the Gold Hill
News, would seem to be good joke,
and would he if it had the merit Of
truth. Mr.. Harris, "the honest old
assayer.' informs US that no such &C.
currence ever transpired in his Office.
we do remember hearing, something
over a year and half ago that an
assayer named Dorwin, doing bust
ness near the News Office, did melt a
$40 gold piece with bar and gave
the result Of the "test." That bar
was purchased by J. w. Grier, stock
and money broker, of this place.
We have "nailed" one of your
falsehoods, aud we will take a
''horn" with you on some future &C.
caslOn.

BOdie Mining District.

W. r. Armstrong gave US, several
days ago, some notes concerning this
new mining camp, situated 10 miles
southwest Of Aurora, which is now at
tracing considerable attention ON the
part Of capitalists and miners Of this
coast. The town contains about $50
houses-two stores, nine saloons, post
office, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express
office, a number Of restaurants, black
smith shop, etc. Many promising
mines are being opened in the neigh
borhood of tho town and every one is
confident that Bodie will eventually
prove to be a good and permanent
camp.
Two mills are now in operation at
Bodie. That of the Standard Mill
and Mining Company started up
about three weeks ago. 1t contains
ten stamps, and is fitted up for work.
ing gold ores alone. 1t is perfect in
every respect, and is working admi-
rably. 1t is running ON ore from
the mine Of the company. They are
down between $50 and 500 feet. NJ
water has yet been encountered. The
mine is looking and yielding we'll.
The Syndicate Mill and Mining
Company were for time wor-
ing ore from the Standard mine,
but are now reducing ore from their
own mine. tits gold quartz mill
like that of the Standard company,
but Mr.. Armstrong does not remem-
Der the number of stamps it contains.
Messrs. Lent and Boyd, San Fran
cisco capitalists, have purchased the
South Bullion mine, situated next to
the Standard, the shaft of which Is
only down go feet, Tor $4,000 cash,
and will put on machinery at once.
The Bechtel mine is down 100 feet,
and the prospects are perfectly mi
raculous. The Bulwer mine is down
1870 feet and the ore, of which it has
great quantities, assays 1855 per ton;
it has as fine rock as any in the camp.
The Red Cloud mine Is taking out
ore which is worked in Aurora, and
it nets $500 per ton. The Standard
nine will ship $4,000 during the
current month. The real wealth of
the camp is incalculable.

RUSSIANS AND AMERICANS.

There Is great deal Of bitter feeling
among the Russians against England
for the part she has taken In the pres
ent quarrel. When we tell the people
here that we are Americans they are
pleased to find that we are not English.
The mass Of the people in Russia like
everything that Is American. One can
not help noticing this popular feeling,
even during q limited intercourse with
them. American goods are favorably
received everywhere within the Czar's
dominions. Over two thousand Ameri-
can sewing machines are sold annually
In Karloff. O city of about sixty thousand
inhabitants. Owing to the manner in
which England has shown her sympathy
for the Turks it would be almost impos-
sible heDceforth to sell English goods
or machinery of any kind In Russia.
Quite large trade had been built up
in agricultural machinery, but the pres
ent war will destroy it. American man
ufaeturers will replace the English be-
yond any doubt, and American mer-
chants should wisely take advantage OF
the present favorable opportunity to
send their goods to the Russian markets.
Among the masses the curious impress
