 have the cheering news of rich copper
 discoveries With the advent of the rail
 road some of our old standby prospectOrs
 are certain of reapng a rich harvest Tor
 the aany long years sown In search of
 the precious metal-Njner
 Some of these revived diScJv-
 cries come into our County.
 Years ago d great number of
 claims were located in the Aqua
 ha-la range, but owing to the danger at that time from the In- dians, they were never prospected
 to any great extent, and were finally abandoned by force of circumstances. In the Har-cu- var range, lying north, rich veins of copper were opened, and if not since disturbed there should be lying about on the different dumps a very considerable Iuan- tity of valuable ore, showing 40 to 42 per cent copper, as the re- suit of numerous assays.
 It was in the prosecution of the work on these claims that Char ly Cunningham was killed by the Indians, and that operation was also abandoned. The different interests in several claims were united under the name of the Har-cu-var Copper Mining Com pany, to be incorporated in Cali fornia. Herman Ehrenberg, Che too was killed by an Indian at. the Dos .Palm;is, near to which the railroad now passes,) survey ed and mapped the company's and everything bid fair; all endeavor failed, but the ground remains. The same con ditiOnS exist to-day Sh0rn of the danger of those times; a card of invitation 10 others to take hold, where they left off, and make a success of the work commenced by the dead Pioneers.
 We learn from A. Frank, who arrived from Ehrenberg Satur- day last. that the mill recently erected at Mesquit station was about ready to run, and, that a | gentleman connected with if, had | just made discovery of a large gold vein, assaying $500 and up. wards per ton. It is somewhere | in the vicinity, south or east, that the long t0iled for l'en-hach- a-pet ledge was supposed to ex- st; specimens from which, con- sisted Of more gold than rock. Expedition after expedition went in search of it, to be always disap- Dointep. Facilities now exist that were not dreamed of then. The danger from hostile Indians has nearly, if not altogether, dis and with these new it is not altogether inn that it may be found, or, omething else as good.
 Cheering news comes from ev- ny mining camp in our vicinity. Sumor has it, that the Red Cloud JO. at Silver District, are neeo- iating a sale, the terms of which will not be known uutil the same 5 cOnsumated. The ore coming rom the Black Rock. one of Mir. 1ughes' mines, is developing ich carbOnates and chlo, ides. with most promising prospects or increased vein matter and I uantity. Ground in the Dis rict is being uncovered where I 70 surface indications existed, nd seams of ore coming into C ight. [
