A party who has spent some time on
Snaks river, says the Times Review"
and made a thorough examination Of the
placer mines there, gives his opinion OF
them as follows: The claims are located
in lots Of twenty acres, according to placer
mining laws, and are chiefly owned by
San Francisco and Salt Lake capitalists.
Few il any miners are working for them
selves, and neither the yield from the mines
nor the wages paid are sufficiently large to
make the country a desirable one for pros
pectors. One dollar and a half per day is
the maximum price paid to miners, and
the fact that no Cinnamon show a wish to
purchase interests there is a pretty good
indication Of the real value Of the country
for placer mining. The gold is very fine,
and can only be saved by using the electro
plate. Our informant thinks the excite
ment in regard to tho mines is kept up and
encouraged by the owners OF the claims,
whose sole desire IL to sell out and leave
the country "a soon as enough men. mis-
led by these false reports, eau be induced
to go there.

The following is from the San Francisco
'StGeh Report; This district, which lies
in the southeastern part of Inyo county, is
attracting the attention Of mining men.
The principal mine is the Gunsisht, which
has been opened about $50 feet in depth on
the vein. The ledge is from five to eight
feet thick. showing iieher as i. goes
down. Two i~pclines have been sunk on
the vein. and several drifts run, the
lower being used US a working tunnel.
The ore is chloride OF silver. free mill
ing, aud carries from SIS to $3.50,
in silver, aud about SD in gold to the ton.
The company made a contract with Berry
4 Place to put up a ten-stsmp mill. The
mill is o up, and the last lot Of machin-
cry shipped, and will be running within
the next sixty days. 1t ia the opinion of
Mr.. Luckhart and other mining experts
who have visited the property, that there
ia ore enough in the Slopes above the work
ing tuanel to run the mill for a year, and
shin not less than $4,000 i month in
bullion.

The Times Review" says Yankee Fork
is oyerrun, the Snake River placers are a
fraud according to all accounts, there is a
surplus, Of men in Eureka hundreds are
out Of employment on the Comstock and
in the n~eishboring camps, and although
nine out Of every ten men are at work in
Tuscarora, there is still a few in our midst
who growl and complain about hard times
aud a p~layed-out camp. 1t is time for all
such nonsense TO stop. We heard a bust
ness man remark yesterday that there
are no idle men here, except those who
don't want to work" While we do not
think he was entirely right we do believe
that most men here who d sire it, can find
employment of ON kind-perhaps not at
miners wages, but at a good living price.
II nothing is to be had here Immediately,
Cornucopia. Columbia and Mountain City
are not far off, and the prospects ahead Of
each Of those camps is fiatteriag. Let
men quit growing and give their best at
,ention to hunting tome thing to do. 1t is
to be had, and in the camp, if the proper
effort is made.

Eos,ai,za city.

We extract the following Bonanza City
items from a letter received here last even
ing, which was written by a former resi-
dent Of Eureka:
In regard ~ the mineral wealth OF the
mines around Bonanza City, there is no
question. | have visited a few of the prin-
cipal ones. and they lock exceedingly well
But they will have to pass iuto the hands
Of capitalists fore this town viii amount

side OF owners and prospcctorsl working in
The mines OF this district, so yeu can Judge
that there Is but little money floating
about here.
There must be in Bonanza and the sur
rounding country, some 1900 men, and
others are daily coming. Out of this
number probably not 100 will winter in
Bonanza and the adjacent mountains.
There are a large number Of Eurekans
here and a, Cballis, ana they pretty gener-
ally like the country.
Just at present there are some fears Of
an Indian outbreak on the line between
Challis and the railroad. Alarms have al
ready come in, and many Of tie stage sta
ton men have quit and gone into Challis.

Leaf.

The New York mining Journal Of the
14th says: There has been a small bust
ness in this market at sac. although sew
eral hundred tons have been sold at St.
Louis on q high r basis. The market is
very strong. and is based upon the knowl-
edge Of the small amount of lead that will
be produced as compared with what was
estimated. Whereas, ii was estimated that
the production OF Leadville would amount
to from 30, 900 to $4,000 tons, we are now
advised by a very high authority that the
bullion product will not exceed $4,000,
making only from 10000 to III 900 tons OF
lead. Utah reports a falling off OF about
5000 tons already. Missouri. as is well
known, will show a large decrease, and
Nevada will probably show some. As the
active season will soon come on, the ad-
vance in the price Of lead does not seem
unwarranted, and we should not be sur
prised to see 4c. reached, as is predicted.
The reserves are already being encroached
upon.

Dan MOr-an's GraYa.

The Elko "Post" recently published an
article concerning a l~aughable incident in
the life of Dan. Morgan, and concluded
with tho following words "Poor Dan is
dead these many years. His bones lie
buried on the other side OF Mob Hill, and
like Moses, mo man knoweth Of his grave
to this day. unless Tommy Douglass does"
The Post is mistaken. Dams grave is
known to all who frequent our cemeteries.
A costly monument has been erected by
his wife. and his grave is frequently strevn
with flowers by those in whose hearts his
memory is fresh aud green, and who in
life knew and loved him best.
