John Dunn and Judge, Ivory, while
taking observations on Winnemucca
Mountain yesterday, discovered large
ledge, which they think contains gold
and silver in paying quantities. The
new discovery is situated south of Win
nemucca Canyon, and there is said to be
an unlimited quantity of quartz in sight,
so that if it contains even twenty or
thirty dollars per ton, it will pay to
work it.

LOCAL INTELLIGEN CE.
THE HUMBOLDT REELECTION WORKS.
An Opportunity fer some EnterprisiRg
Mil Man TO Make Noney.

In consequence of litigation regard
ing the title of the property, the Hum
boldt Reduction Works at this place
were shut down nearly two years ago.
We believe the question of title is not
yet definitely settled in the courts, but
it is understood that the property
could be leased on reasonable terms
from the claimants. There is no trou-
BILE about making arrangements with
mine owners in different parts Of the
country to keep the works running
steadily. Mr. Charles Kemler is in re-
ceipt of letters from l \ l. District in
forming him that mine owners at that
place have unlimited quantities of ore
that assays upwards OF 500 per ton,
and they are anxious Co enter into an
agreement with mill men here to have
forty or more tons Of it worked weekly.
AS this is the nearest place on the rail
road where there is a custom mill, to
the X l. mines, the greater part of
the trade OF that district could be
diverted here if arrangements were
made to crush the ores. 1t affords a
good opportunity for some enterprising
mill man to make money by leasing the
mill and getting it i'll running order.
Considerable ore is being shipped from
the mines in this county to Salt Lake
and San Francisco, which with that
from X L would be sufficient to run
the works steadily. 1t would be of
material benefit to the town to have
those works started up, and our bust
ness men should, if nobodyelse does so,
make arrangements TO start the mill
and thereby secure the trade of outside
camps which is being diverted into
other channels from this place.

PRICES AND MARKETS.


Flour is selling at 50 per barrel: beef
a cents per pound; pork j to s cents;
oats 25 cents per bushel; barley so
cents; and wheat s. cents; groceries
and dry goods about the same as in
Winnemucca Vegetables are very
cheap, and Walla Walla apples sell at
80 cents per bushel. Myself and fellow
Humboldters have located on Crab
Creek, 60 miles northwest Of Colfax,
four miles from the N. p. R. r., and
80 miles above where the road is now
being graded. We expect to have the
railroad at our doors next May, and
home market for all we can raise. We
are SO Tar
WELL SATISFIED WITH THE COUNTRY,
But we hold old Humboldt in grateful
remembrance, and wish her citizens
and silver miners prosperity, This is,
however, good poor mans country and
for farming it cannot be excelled.
Business Of all kinds is fair, and in
some places very lively. New towns
are springing up, and with projected
railroads and heavy influx of popu-
lation it will be the liveliest country on
the coast. G.. W. Leach and Bill
Wells are the only Humboldters out
side of our own party | have met here.
They have fine location ON Big Lake
eight miles from my place.
l do not write this to induce anyone
to come here, but | was asked by n
great many to give them my opinion Of
the country, and l have given it based
upon what l know from personal obser-
walton. Two persons seldom see things
in the same light, and what might be
pleasing to me might not suit another.
Yours, JOHN CODY.

right to do, particularly to endorse
the action and to sustain the recon-
mendation of the parish committee, is
an act we did not believe even the
Adrocate capable Of doing. These
citizens have met to show you, Mr.,
Adrocate, that you do not express
their views when you say that the
people are dissatisfied with the
committees course. If it engcnders
bitter feelings in the breast of any
body in seeing these good and loyal
Democrats stand by their party lead
ers, they certainly don't care a fartlling
for all such as those who, like you,
are trying to foster dissention' in our

tired Of your Misrepresentation, and
they are exhibiting you in your true

TO THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

We appeal to all Republicans who
have the welfare of our city and par
ish at heart, to come forth this time,
regardless of past political affiliations
to the support OF. the CAPITAL TICKET.
The gentlemen composing it have
given their solemn pledge that they
will defend the rights of the colorcd
man ut the same time that they will
labor to secure all necessary reforms,
and use every endeayor to cause the
restoration Of the Capital to Baton
Rouge. In the name Of our common
prosperity we ask them to do this,
and thus show by their ballots that
they know how to exercise their rights
with intelligence and patriotism.
Such an evidence will undoubtedly
strengthen orr delegates in the con-
vention to stand firmly for the main
tainance of their every privilege. Re-
publicans shoA yourselves and come
to the rescue lor State CAPITAL Ar
BATON ROUGE.
In order to show that q Republican
can consistently adopt this course we
refer them to the accompanying para
graph which we copy from the address
Of Mr.. Dumont, chairman of the Re-
publican State mmittee, 1t speaks
for itself:
In all cases in which the election of
IN intelligent tried Republican is
possible, we counsel you to concentrate
your votes in his support. When no
such occasion presents, itself you
should offer your votes to any candi-
date, without regard to his political
antecedents, who shall pledge himself
to maintain the Bill Of Rights intact,
and resist any attempt to impair its
guarantees by any constitutional or
legal provisions whatever. These
rights secured beyond question, your
representatives may assent to any
reforms tending to the silnplication
and economy of the government.

Prof. r. S. McCulloch contemplates,
we hear, publishing a new edition of
his valuable "SuGAR Book" as his
notes and observations on sugar cul-
ture and manufacture are usually
called. Although this book was pub
lished by the U. S. Government some
thirty years ago, it is the best au-
thority even to-day on that subject.
What would its value not be, if re-
edited by that able scientist in all the
light Of recent agricultural and chem
ical knowledge!
Mr.. McCulloch has had wide and
varied experience; the successor of
Joseph Henry as Professor of Natural
Philosophy at Princeton; then As
sayer Of the U. s. Mint at Philadel-
phia; afterwards Professor Of Chem
istry in Columbia College, New York
City, till the war, when he resigned
and came South to his people, becom-
ing Lieutenant Colonel Of Engineers
in the Confederate army; and finally
the colleague and intimate friend Of
Gen. Lee, at Washington and Lee
University.
Besides the ."Sugar Book" he is the
author Of "THE MECHANICAL THEORY
OF HEAT" textbook at West Point,
the University Of Virginia, and other
higher institutions Of learning in this
country.

these sturdy men serenaded .Messrs.

candidates who reside in the city as
also Mr.. Kleinert the president of the
assemblage. Our German brethren
mean business and no mistake; they
are not qualrelling just now on the
fimsy pretense Of violation of party
usage. They are going in for the
interest of Baton Rouge!
