VIRGINIA, Oot. 17th.-The En-
ferprise of this morning has the
borrowings: A certain mining ex-
pert, who visited the Sierra New
ada deep works on Wednesday, up.
on coming out of the mine, told
every man he met that he had
never seen so fine a showing in any
mine In his life; that he believed it
was bonanza as genuine as ever
Consolidated Virginia held, and, in
short, was, to his intimate friends,
simply extravagent in praise of the
showing that the mine made.
Half an hour later he skuiked
around to the telegraph office and
dispatched to San Francisco that
the whole thing was hunbug,a and
sell. He proved himself to be II dirty
liar, intent upon either robbing
his friends here or in San Francis
co. What he said upon coming out
of the mine was heard by dozens of
people, while copy of the dis
patch IL In the hands of respnsi-
BILE gentleman 10 this city. We
tried yesterday to get sight Of the
dispatch. In that case we would
have published the mans name.
IF we can get the documentary ev-
idence to back US, We will publish
the name yet, because the commu-
nity are interested in knowing such
men. The man who rohs q stage is
entitled tn some credit for courage
at least; the man who would ruin a
dozen or hundred small stock
holders in order to make O little
money himself, Is infinitely worse
than u common thief.
