a few days, in reply to inquiries, informed
us that several tons of rails had been
shipped by way of San Francisco and
that ground would be broken at Eureka
on or about the 4th of July, or as soon as

the Sentinel last evening that rich and

be particularly gratifying to the stock

highly important bearing upon a piece of
territory in this camp to which but COM

the past. The strike was made in two
parts of the mine.

He went back to Utah with samples of
the ores, and found that assays made
there We're equally as good as those made
from the same ores here Recently, he
and Others from Silver Reef organized
mining district east Of Humboldt House,
and are now prospecting some of the
mining discoveries which they made.
The new district has been named Barbee,

part Of what was formerly known as
Humboldt District, which, though the
first mining district ever organized in
this county. was never prospected to any
great extent
