DIR. Dunlap has returned from a
visit to Silverado, the new mining
district. He informs us that the
ledge discovered by Messrs. Hunt
ington & Co. runs parallel with the
original ledge and is about 600 feet
further South. The ore is fourd in
a slate formation in narrow stratas,
varying from quarter of an inch
to two inches in thickness, the
ledge being from two to three feet
wide. One piece of rock which he
saw assayed, produced at the rate
of over $4,000 to the ton. OF
course it is not expected that this
immense yield will be uniform,
but it proves that the rock
is very rich. Work is being
prosecuted with vigor on all the
old claims. At the "Dunlap" there
is already about 200 tons of ore
on the dump, 100 sacks of which
will be shipped to San Francisco
next week. On his recent trip
to San Francisco Doc. Dunlap took
up with him $3.50 pounds of ore
from the Dunlap claim for which
the following return was made:
Silver per ton, $239 46; lead $40 25,
making a total of $25S 81 per ton.
Another assay produced the follow
ing: Silver 1856 10; gold So 10; lead
$23 10; total 1882 80.
We had a pleasant call last
evening from Mr.. w. II. II. Bow
ers of Salt Lake City. Mr.. Bowers
is interested with his brother, Mr..
w. G. Bowers, of Ravena, in this
county, in the Escondido gold
mines of the Soledad Cafion. The
Messrs. Bowers are now erecting u
pan-crusher quartz mill in the
Canon, about two miles from Ra.
vena Station. which they expect to
have in operation by Monday
next. The mill will be worked by
twenty horsepower engine and
will have capacity of six tons
per day. A corps of fourteen eXpe.
rienced miners and amalgamators
have been brought from Nevada to
work the mine and mill. AS soon
as developments warrant it Il large
stamp mill will be erected.
Editor Orrovitcll, of the Stockton
Independent, fires this Russian
small-shot at Dizzy: AS a partial
reward for the pawnbroker tricks
the English Premier displaysd at
the Berlin Congress, he has had
his attenuated underpinnings orna-
mented with the Garter, and, after
this investiture of knighthood,
preparations are being made to
extend to him the freedom of the
city of London, and give the aged
Tory something to eat at the Man
sion House on the 3 OF August.
We understand that scalper,n
well known all over the Pacific
Coast, has made his appearance at
Silverado, and has already put
some of the original Iocators to
considerable annoyance and ex-
pense. Messrs. Thistlethwaite and
Harvey yesterday commenced pro.
ceedings to oust the intruder and
it is to be hoped that their prompt
action will be successful in Kidding
the district of that bane of new
mining camps-the professional
jumper.

ment elsewhere, notifies the peo-
pie of Los Angeles that, during the
