RICHMOND MATTERS.

The following favorable showing to the
management of the Richmond Company,
at this place. we copy from the London
Mining Journal of a recent date:
The Richmond Shareholder Commit
tees report (which is, to a great extent,
neutralized, if not entirely answered, by
that Of the directorsl contains a disheart-
ening statement as to the way in which the
mine has been managed, and some very
strong observations concerning Mr. Pro-
bert. The report has as yet been
circulated among the shareholders
only, but the contents Of it are
fully discussed in the letter of a sharehold-
er-Mr. w. Gabbott-published in the
Supplement. The mine has already re-
turned 4f lis. Cd. dividends upon each Sc
share, or 1Ss. 3kd. in 1f upon the entire
capital invested, the mine being at the
present time in good condition. This is
more than can be said of any other Anglo
American mine, except Sierra Buttes,
which has returned 19s. in 1f. No other
mine of this class has returned more than
a few shillings- really Is, or 3s. in IL, if
they have entered the dividend list at all
and the shareholders should be cautious
not to Improve" the management so eff
~fectually as to deprive themselves Of future
dividends altogether. 1t would not be the
first time that such a result has been
achieved. Moreover, it should not be for
gotten that the mine did not yield profits
previously to Mr.. Probert taking control;
that the dividends have been fairly regular
ever since, and that the mine is now earn

C. A. Monroe arrived from White Horse
last evening, having made the trip in less
than thirty-six hours. He says there are
sixty white men now fortified at that place,
all armed, some with breech-loaders and
Others with ordinary rifles and shot guns.
They have about 500 horses on the mead
ows, and a guard of ten men out all the
time. There is nc longer any doubts of the
murder Of Dixon and dickinson, and the
burning Of William Smith and his son by
the Indians. One of Naches' Piutes es-
capped from the hostiles last Saturday west
of Stein Mountain. He says that on Sun
day morning while crossing the mountain
he saw two "dusts," which were some dis
lance apart when he first noticed them get
together, and he thinks they were made by
soldiers and Indians. The general impress
sion among men acquainted with the coun-
try is that the skirmish between Demands
troops and the hostiles on Sunday was
where the milan saw the "dusts'' get to-
gether, instead of Oh Curry Greek, as at
first reported. This was about 65 miles
west of White Horse. Monroe says that
fresh Indian signs have been seen near
White Horse, and an attempt has been
made by the Indians to run off the horses.
The boys at the ranch do not intend to
aItach tne INDIANS should tney appear III
force, but they are determined to defend
their lives and property to the last. Chief
Naches is almost idolized by the settlers,
who are showering presents on him for saw
ing their lives. Deyine & Todhunter gave
him a fine horse. Con. Ryan gave him a
bride and saddle, John Dixon presented
him a rifle worth $50, j. Il. Broyn has
given him a horse, and Frank Burns and
others have promised him more horses.
He is the happiest Indian in the United
States, and feels that his services have been
appreciated by the whites.

VIII be Held.

Much feeling was exhibited here last
night and this morning by some Of our
best men in Carson, says the Tribune, con-
corning the ignoring Of a bin of indict-
ment against Clark, the killer Of young
Adams, and it was proposed to get up a
petition to Judge Wright (Which, by the
way, would have received a thousand or
more signatures1 to request him to hold
Clark over to await the action OF another
Grand Jury. We are enabled to set the
minds Of oar fellow citizens at rest, by
stating that, to the best Of our knowledge
and belief, such will be the action Of the
Judge. We, OF Carson, are a ~law-abiding
people, and it ia to be hoped that conf
dence enough in Che good judgment Of
Judge Wright is felt to believe that he will
not act contrary to the expressed senti-
ments of the people. We believe the law
will take its proper course.

SOdie Gusli.

Mighels, of the Carson Appeal, says that
a Fourth of July without soda water is like
an oyster without vinegar, an egg without
salt, a kiss without a mustache. If there
is in reality such a thing as gush of the
patriotic sort, it is the effervescent gush-
ing of the syrup of our sires as it sizzles
forth from the down discharging ven of a
soda fountain. Willis, tearing asunder the
stoutest ties OF affection, abandoned the
soda fountain of his youth, leaving it in
Thaxter's hands. There it stands; there it
squirts! My young friend, you of the love
which lodges in Arabella's soft and throb-
bing heart, do not forget that fountain!
Go to it: trust in it; patronize it; bid it a
brief good bye, and then fetch yourself and
your dear, nose-betinged darling back to
it again, and give her another treat.

BONNEVILLE.
A New Mining District.

From Mfr. ID. G.. Clark, a leading mer-
chant of Phoebe, and an old rssident OF this
State, we have learned some interesting
news concerning the raines at bonneville,
situated in Nye county, about 20 miles
west of lone. Mr.. Clark has just returned
from there, having taken it in while on an
extensive tour throughout the southwest
ern part Of the State. He describes the
mines as lying in the low foothills Of
the Mammoth range Of mountains, and on
the western slope, directly on the old road
leading from lone to Walkers river, where
they nave been passed over by prospectors
cor %tinuously during the past IA years. The
ores are rich and principally carbonate in
character, and lie in a limestone formation.
The Downey Brothers were the discover
ers, and now have located in
nearly a compact body, about one
hundred and twenty-five acres, and
wherever they have sunk through the
everything cap-rock, they have struck one
of the same rich character that was first
found at the point Of discovery, which was
the only place where the ore body came to
the surface in groupings. One shaft has
been sunk to q depth Of over 200 feet,
which shows good ore the entire distance,
and wherever drifts have been run
from it. A furnace will COM
memo running ON the first of the coming
month, and good results are confidently
looked for. Mr.. Clark describes it as be-
ing the most astonishing ore body he has
ever seen, and thinks the camp has a bril-
liant future, although it is quite dull at
present, as nothing has yet been produced.
About 900 men are now in the district,
principally engaged in prospecting.

THE GREAT SILVER KING.
How anne q. Fair Became One
of the Wealthiest Men i'm the
World.

We find the following ridiculous item in
one Of our Eastern exchanges: There is a
man alive at this present moment, who, if
he so minded, could give his daughter q
marriage portion of $50, 000, 900. He
would then have about $50, 900, 600 left for
himself. He lives half way up a mountain
side in Nevada, and his daughter lives with
him. Seven years ago he was a poor man;
to-day he is the silver king of America. He
has dug $500, 000, 900 worth of silver out of
the hill he is living on, and has about
5000, DOC, 600 more yet to dig. II he lives
three years longer he will be the rich
est man in the world. His name is James
Fair, and he is the manager, superinten-
dent, chief partner, and principal share
holder in the Consolidated Virginia and
California silver mines, known to men as
the "big bonanzas." He has an army of
men toiling for him day and night. down
in the very depths of the earth, digging,
picking, blasting and crushing a thousand
tons of rock every "a hours. He works as
hard as any man of them. The one who,
by his own unaided exertions, can rise to
such marvellous wealth in so short a time,
is worth knowing something about. 1t is
worth while to hear how such a fabulous
fortune can be accumulated.

MINING NOTES.


The Albion Company yesterday struck
rock showing oxyde of lead in their shaft,
indicating a close proximity to the ledge.
Superintendent Shoenbar, Of the Silver
ado mines, yesterday showed us re-
turns from the Rescue mine, taken from
the 375 foot level, which assayed $405 %.
The Santa Clara mine, situated near the
Eureka Tunnel, will resume work next
week. This mine has yielded some excel
lent ore.
The Alexandria mine and tunnel, which
crosses the Eureka Tunnel at right angles,
is now drifting in a south-easterly direc-
ton, and taking out some excellent ore.
The Pride of the West mine. situated in
a direct line south from the Jackson mine,
has struck a good body Of ore in sinking
in their shaft.
From superintendent Atchison, who
yesterday visited the Prospect Mountain
Tunnel Company's works, situated on the
west side Of Prospect Mountain, we learn
that the tunnel is in $50 feet.
The heat in the Con. Virginia and Cali
fornia mines il SO intense that the con-
sumption of ice is at the rate of SO pounds
per day to each man. The heat at this
time is greater than heretofore in the his
tory Of the mines.
The Comstock. Mechanics Union and
the mining superintendent have come to
an understanding on the question Of wages.
The terms of the agreement are not yet
made public, but it is understood the men
get all they asked.
Bonanza shipments so far on June ac-
count are S90,S35 for Con. Virginia, and
S270,445 70 for California. The total bull
lion yield Of the bonanza mines to date
amounts to 800, 701 700 SO. Before the
end of the present fiscal month the yield
will have exceeded S100, 900, 900.
Senator Jones, whose income is only
SIS, 600 a day, is jealous of Mackay, who
