FROM BODIE.

Mr.. r. F. Pixley, the mining expert, in
company with W. M. Lent, the noted and en-
terprising San Francisco capitalist, went to
Bodie in private conveyance on Sunday last
The former returned day or two or ago and
Mr.. Lent will be in this evening. The esti-
mate that MIR. Pixley has formed of the
Bodie mining district is simply immense. He
is very enthusiastic not only upon the subject
of what has already been developed there,
but respecting the certain great uncOvering
OF fabulous bodies of ore in the near future.
The Bodie shaft is said to be down $50 feet.
The Bruce ledge is from four to six feet wide
and assays $500 per ton. The Burgess ledge
is from three to five feet wide and assays
equally as rich as the Bruce. Mr.. Pixley be-
lieves that there is sufficient ore in sight in
the Bodie mine to pay the present price of
the stock in dividends, and what more he is
unable to state Mr.. Pixley's opinion upon
this subject is well worth considering, as he
is mining expert of acknowledged ability.
This mine is unquestionably the richest ever
discovered on the Pacific Coast. The Bull
wer and Belvediere are also very promising
mines, with a prospect of dividends. The
future of the Aurora Tunnel is assuredly
great, with a probability of being placed on
a dividend paying basis before many months.
Selected ore samples from this mine assay
as high as $1,000 per ton. Mr. W. N.
Lent, who is doing all that energy and
capital can accomplish to develop the Bodie
district, has purchased two new mines, the
Booker, upon which they are down about $50
feet, and have a ledge six feet wide with
promising ore, and the Richter, also supposed
to be big mine. But Mr.. Lent can well
afford to assist in the further prospecting of
the Bodie district, as he has, so we are re-
liably informed, already cleared $4,000, 900 |
from his ventures in that section. There |
would now be three or four more mines on |
paying footing there if there were
more facilities to crush the ore Mr.. Pix |
ley feels confident that in less than year |
Bodie will be the greatest mining camp on
the coast

Is we find the following:
The Bodie Bank to-day fled its articles of
incorporation with the Secretary of State;
capital stock, $50, 900; Directors--F. Warn
KEEL, James NJ Dawley, F. D. Hessel, George
ellison and VIM. Irwin.
Yesterday Mr. ellison returned here from
San Francisco whittier he had gone upon bus
ness connected with this enterprise. The bank
will be started forthwith A building for the
housing Of this institution is erecting, and a
commodious safe in which its deposits will be
kept is to arrive this morning This bank will
be a very sound institution. The gentlemen
named i'll the articles of incorporation are of
abundant means and of first class standing in
the commercial world. The evidences of pros
perity thus exhibited are doubly gratifying.
In the first place they show our friend ellison
in the light of merchant whose enterprise
and sagacity have rewarded him with hand
some returns; and in the second place, they
indicate the solid condition of things and pros
poets financial in the new and busting town
of Bodie We predict success to the under
taking and corresponding benefit to the
community in which the new bank has arisen.
The REMAINS FoUND.-The remains of
Thomas, the Maltese, so well and favorably
known in Carson, who was one of the features
of Willis drug store, were found i'll the alley
in the rear of that store yesterday. Thomas
was a noble cat, who had been missing for
several weeks. He had been ailing for some
time and evidently went off in search ofhealth.
His carcass was taken to his old stamping
ground. Bishop Johnny Fife performed the
burial ceremony usually accorded to cats of a
higher station, and acted as chief mourner
upon the occasionr Requies cat in pace.
BROKE HIS LEG.-Yesterday afternoon
Frank Burns, sometimes known as "Fatty,
a stout, stocky man who has been driving one |
of Charley Bray drays, broke one of his legs |
by jumping off the freight platform at the
freight depot. He was removed to the County |
Hospital. The fracture occurs just above |
the ankle Burns and another man were |
skylarking on the platform, and in the play he |
jumped to the ground and his boot doubling
under him snapped the bone. DR.. White,
who set the broken limb, says the patient is
comfortable.
