a vein four feet in width. most of which

from $500 to 81. 600 to the ton. The
assay from the other claims mentioned
are abont the same. running from $500
to 81, 100 to the ton. The time since
the discovery Of the district has been so
short that little has yet been done IN the
way OF development, Init it Is the gen
eral opinion OF mining men, Judging
from all that can be seen that Silver
State District will prove to be both rich
and permanent. Dave Buel has leased
one of the principal locations and is
taking from the ledge now, quantities
of splendid ore, which will be hauled
to his mill near WInnemucca, for
reduction. Just before leaving the
camp our travellers struggled a big
boulder OF the rich quartz into tn Q
buggy and escaped with it to Winnie

baggage. and is now exposed TO pub.

duct is liable to create the impression

Immediately set to work to try and ave

about twenty feet distant from II, aud
rs II was impossible TO stop tho nrc in
tho dry cedar wood, IL proved 10 be a
very hard task. Only for the fact that
tho wind blew directly away from tho
house IL would have been impossible TO
savo the building, and Il vas thought for
sometime Impossible TO do Il. For three
