these columns, stimulating them TO action IN
this direction
Messrs. Vim. II. Lent and John +. Boyd,
San Francisco capitalists and mining experts
arrived from Bodie district last evening, and
their reports of that district are the most
enthusiastic and encourag ing Of any we have
heard yet. The mines are good, and that
whole section of the country is vast gold
mine. While there, Messrs. Lent and Boyd
purchased the South Bullion mine, situated
next to the Standard, the shaft of which is
only down 80 feet, for $50, 900 cash. These
gentlemen proceeded to Virginia last evening
10 purchase machinery for their new mine.
They cannot express themselves IN terms too
fiatteiing of all the mines that have up to
this time been located. The Bechtel mine is
down 120 feet, and the prospects are perfectly
miraculous The Bulwer mine is dom 1870
feet and the ore, of which it has great guam
titles, assays 1856 per ton, it has as fine rock
as any mine in the camp. The Red Cloud
mine is taking out ore, which is worked in
Aurora and nets $500 per ton. The Standard
mine will ship Sl30, 900 during the current
month. The real wealth of the camp is in
alculable-immense. Ar. Lent saws that
no one who has not been to Bodie can form
the remotest conception what future it has
before it, The mines rival anything that has
yet been discovered Gil shi5 coast,

scientific research combined.
Mr.. n Anderson, formerly of the Adams
House, returned from a prospecting trip of
several weeks duration yesterday. He re-
ports Monitor, Alpine county, in a very -four
ishing condition; there is considerable pros
oecting going on there, and the ultimate I'M
earthing of some valuable mines is assured.
Silver Mountain is very dull: very little en-
argy is being displayed by the residents of
mat dreamy little burg Mr.. Anderson be-
ieves that if little more capital and energy
we're to be thrown into Alpine county the
former prosperous times could be revived.
