Another Big Bonanza Discovered.
San Francisco, March 1.-THE Post,
in its stock article, this evening, gives
an account of the alleged discovery of
a new bonanza, lying east of the Com
stock lode, and parallel with it, and
abreast with the Consolidated Virgin
ia, Best & Belcher, Gould 6 Curry and
Hale Norcross. The article states that
the formation was discovered by rum
ming diamond drill eastward from the
workings of the above mentioned
mines. 1t is held that from this fissure
has come the immense volume of water
which has so long deluged the lower
levels of the Savage and Hale q Nor
cross. To test the question, samples of
water from those mines were evaporat-
ed and the sediment was found. on
analysis, to correspond with the compo-
sition of ore taken from the drill holes.
The matter has been kept secret by the
managers, and cross cutting in the di-
rection of the new bonanza has been
carried on with caution, as the aim was
to drain the water from the ledge be-
fore tapping it, fearing that rush Of
water might follow that would stop
work in the mines. 1t is estimated that
in few weeks it will be safe to begin
cross-cutting to develop the ledge. The
statement seems to be received on the
street with due caution, owing to the
improbability in part, to the general
lack of confidence lately shown by out
side operators, and to the fact that the
Post has for sometime been bullish in
its tone on stock articles.

spotted Iail and his Mission.

The selection of Spotted Tail for his
present somewhat delicate mission was
an excellent one. He is Sioux chief
of great influence among his people, and
also possesses the confidence of. the
whites, being one of the very few In
dian chiefs who are trusted by both
races. His band consists of perhaps
seven thousand Indians. He was ap-
pointed chief by the white mans au-
thority at the same time that Red
Cloud received like dignity, but he
has far more influence than the latter
and is much better and more trust
worthy man. He in fact is generally
regarded the most intelligent and the
best man in the Sioux tribe. He is ex-
tremely desirous that his people should
be civilized. With this in view he con-
stantly solicits the agents and commits
sioners who visit the country to send
saw-mills, plows, horses, ETC., to his
band, and missionaries and preachers
that schools may be established. He ap-
pears to realize in remarkable degree
that the existence of his race depends
upon a radical change being effected in
their habits and mode of life. 1t is said
that Spotted Tail has declared he will
take the field with all his band and join
Crook against the hostile Sioux if Crazy
Horse refuses to come in at his solicita-
