A Mnsical MOunfain.

The Virginia New Enterprise says:
A gentleman of this city who has been
taking look among the oldabandoned
mines Of Truckee district made an ex-
animation of the musical mountain, of
which great deal was heard years ago,
when the mines were discovered. Some
Of the early miners pitched their tents
at the foot of the mountain, and were
not little surprised and puzzled at
hearing, during the quiet hours Of the
night, tinkling sounds that seemed to
pervade the whole atmosphere, coming
from they could not tell where. The
sounds were not unlike those Of a small
music-bOx. At times they supposed
that the sounds were caused by the
wind playing among the twigs on the
side of the mountain, but they found
that this solution would not answer, as
the same bushes were found every
where, Willie the musical sounds were
heard nowhere else than on the side Of
the mountain at the foot of which they
were camped. They spent much time
in scouting ;,5out and listening of
nights and quiet hours during the day,
and at last tracked the strange sounds
to a great bed of small pieces of rock
that covered the slope Of the mountains.
These bits of rock were found to b6
quite sOnOrOus, and the miners con-
clUded that the sounds they emitted
were caused by the action of the wind
among them. The gentleman who re-
Gently visited the mountain says he
went to it expecting to find it a good
deal of a humbug, but found it much
more Of a curiosity than he had antici-
pated; the mingled tinklings much re-
sembling the sounds of an aolian harp,
and frequently attaining a startling de-
gree Of IOudness and distinCtness. The
sounds seem TO rise and fall, approach
and recede, as Though caused and gov
erned by the wind. On a close exami-
nation it was found that the small
fakes Of rock covering the face Of the
mountain contain q large per cent OF
iron. This iron is supposed t1 be mag
netic, and there appears to be constant
motion among the chips Of it, which
appear to cover the ground to the depth
of several feet in many places. The
Whole drift of broken rock seems to be
moving down the slope of the noun
tain with the slow, creeping motion Of
a glacier, and the slipping over each
other Of the fragments composing the
mass is thought to cause the tinkling
sounds, which are so numerous as to
mingle and rise into a single strong
musical murmur.
