ALPINE COUNTY MINING MATTERS.

4 gentleman well informed in the matter,
stated to an APPEAL reporter that a new and
prosperous era is dawning for Alpine County.
It's mineral resources, which have been wing
dormant for so many years, are attracting the
attention of California as well Eastern
capitalists, who will, before the expiration Of
| the current year, make Investments
with a view to showing up the great mineral
deposits existing there, and which only re
quires the iudicious expenditure Of not a
great fortune to bring them to light. At
present, the Colorado No. mine at Monitor,
under. the direct management of Mr.. n. d.
Arnot, Jr,, is monthly turning out a hand
some amount of bullion, which will hereafter
be sent to the Carson Mint for coinage. Only
a year ago this property Was looked upon as
somewhat improbable, and now its future will
be sure of dividends for the stockholders
Our informant assures us that there are mum
berless other mines in Alpine couny which
would by reasonable outll " of coin make
| good a showing az the Colorado No. 2, if not
Il better one. The introduction of outside cap
ital into Alpine, which is now beyond being
predetermined, will give the mining industry
! there new impetus, and it is not at all I'M
! likely that the exciting days of 1862 and 1868
will again be lived over in that high mining
county That rich mines exist there no Que
who has visited Alpine, and knows anything
about mining, will dispute; it only requires
little money, has been said before, to AS
sure the world of its hidden resources.
DISAPPOINTED ELoPERs. -NirtuOus Virginia
is drifting toward an exceedinIy immoral state
The social condition of that once moral town is
becoming alarmingly degenerate. On Wednes-
day evenings train from Virginia billing and
cooling couple were vending their way Reno
ward Upon their arrival at the SO called
garden spot Of Nevada, the couple were met
at the depot by an elderly gentleman who
parted the loving twain in very quiet man
ner, in fact it was done smoothly that
scarcely any body would have known that
little elopement was beng checked. The |
young lady is the daughter of a we'll to do
family residing in the city on the side of the |
hill, which is So rapidly losing its reputation |
for strict morality, who fell in love with a
prohgate miner. As is usually the case, all !
memorable and cautious parent forbid |
the parental roof and was secreted in the city |
by her lover for a couple of days, and he also
kept very shady during that period. The dis
appearance of the girl naturally created sgeat
alarm in her family, the members of which
we're determined that she should not marry
the man of her choice. All avenues of escape
were closely watched by relatives and friends;
an uncle even went to Reno and carefully ex-
amined every train that came III from Virginia,
Yet the infatuated couple managed to elude
the vigilance of the young ladys family, and
they found their way to this city in buggy,
leaving here on the cars. At Reno the watch
full uncle rescued the girl and took her back
to Virginia. without making the least scene
about it. The young man could not have
been very greatly infatuated, for he gave up
his intended bride without kick" and
pursued his way to San Francisco. Had Car
son been the home of the above scandal, how
the COmstock papers would have gloated overi 1t
in three or four column articles and crOwed
over the immortality of the Capital; but as resi-
dents of Virginia the actors in this dis
graceful farce, they say nothing about it. The
4lopers name is Jerry Hartman, but, out of
for the girl and her family, we
will not give publicity to her name,
