| He WOULDN'T BE ROBBED Late on FRIDAY
night Henry Harrington, who lives mewhere

home, feeling pretty jolly after having passed
a few hours In very convlvial society. As he

north of Major GARDENERS residence, with his

"THE SAINTS REST. Every one who has

not very sancti6ed, but they were ''saints" for
all that Queer customers sometimes stop at
the REST" but night before last it was visited
by the advent of very queer one. Sometime
during the night, Uncle Tom was aroused by
a noise which sounded very much like the
''chivaree" which Nevada boys usually salute
newly married couples with. As there was
no bridal party around, and the dogs were
somew hat demonstrative, Uncle Tom con- |

We have q genuine local sensation
now, in the discovery Of gold placer
dieeings on the shore OF the bay be-
tween the Barracks and Gilbert's lum-
Der yard. II appears that q gentleman
named Pilling, who has been residing
here for some time for his health. In his

ago. saw the color OF gold in the sand,
and on prospecting found that II
yielded o few bits TO the pan.

which he sold at one of the banks. This
excited curiosity. and on Saturday morn
ing persons who saw him at work. went
and prospectsd the beach and also found
"oolor." The new spread very rapidly.
and on Sunday the whole beach was
staksd of in claims. Il II said the pros
pectors have obtained color in every pan.
We do not suppose that this discovery
will prove moro important than any Of
the numerous "fnds" Of the same kind
that have occurred from time to time
along the entire coast Of California.

way from Oregon down. but the deposits

EARLY ConsroCK MINING.

Dick Ogden has been entertaining the
Bullion Club in New York with some
pertinent remarks on "Minss and
Mining" and a report Of what he said
II published in the New York Graphic
Of May 30th. We make the following
extract
He introduced his address by humor-
ously stating that he was neither . scien-
tide nor Q practical m~iner-his expert
euco had been mostly limited to paying
bills. He had been connected with the
Comstock mines. having organized rthe
Ophir Company and taken out the first ore
ever taken from the mine. The first
thirty tons brought TO San Francisco was
literally an elephant on the hands OF the
company, ~ they had no means OF ascer-
tanning its value and working IL. A few
gentlemen from F~reiburg. Germany.
allowed themselves willing to smelt the
ore. They had some assays which gave at
the rate Of IS, 900 TO the ton. but the com.
pany got only 81. 500 . ton for ore worth
5000. That was the beginning in fact
Of all mining ON the Comstock
lode. Tho compsny's stock consisted
Of twelve shares ct $500 each. The ore
was peddled from Dan to Beersheba. Tho
mine paid very largely. and. had the same
economy been practiced which Is now In
vogue, Il would have proved even more
valuable. This applies also to the early
history Of the other Comstock mines. The
gold was literally thrown away. Not more
than from 40 to 50 per cent. OF the ore
wa realized. Among the luxuries at the
Gould 4 Curry mine was = duck pond
that cost SIC. 1000. In 1t were three miser,
able ducks. A mill was erected at great
cost. 1t proved worthless and had to be
pulled down. The mines were really ex.
hsusted and wasted before they learned
how 70 work them. People were glad now
the speaker continued. TO get mines which
than were looked upon as worthless.
