A MI COAST.

Says the Reno Gazette: D. Mcfarland,
shows in the Arcade saloon a curious old
firearm that was recently found leaning
against a tree on the old emigrant trail be-
tween Virginia and Washoe. The piece
must have been there many years. The
bark OF the tree had grcwn over the muz-
zle, and the black walnut stock is much de-
cayed. The barrel is encrusted with rust,
and the hammer immovable. The lock is
very singular in appearance. 1t is a per-
cussion lock of a peculiar pattern. 1t is
conjectured hat the musket was left by
one Of the pioneers in the place where it
was found.

shoulders of the reader, and are properly
braced to hold the base in the same rela-
tive position, whether the reader is in a

The Winnemucca Silver State says hal
last Spring. Frank Reynolds, a practical
miner, went prospecting in Gold Run Dis
trict, Humboldt county, and succeeded in
developing a mine which increases in width
as descended upon, the ore OF which will
yield 500 to the ton. There is plenty of
wafer for milling purposes within 300 yards
OF the mine. 1t is said to be valuable prop
erty.
Arrangements will be made, the Times
Review is informed. to commence work at
once in a number of Good Hope mines
and extract sufficient ore to insure a steady
run Of the mill as soon as it is completed.
If the ore is guaranteed. the projectors of
the scheme will go ahead and put up the
mill right away, otherwise the matter will
probably drag along until spring.
