UNCLE SAM CON.
An Account of a Promising Pros.
pect Mountain Property.

An Account of a Promising Pros.
pect Mountain Property.
Mr.. Harrington is at work with a few
men quietly prospecting the Uncle Sam
Con. mine. This property is situated
south of New York Canyon. 1t has the
appearance of a very good prospect, but
in no one place has a greater depth been
attained from the surface than in the Sam.
Rice shaft, down los feet. At this point
there are groupings of iron and low-grade
ore, from which a well-defined vein has
been followed in the shaft clear to the
bottom. There are two drifts run off, one
al 30 and the other at 60 feet from the
surface, both on ore containing 20 per cent
Of lead and from $40 to $50 per ton in
silver. About 70 feet east Of and down the
hill from this is a contact Of red limestone
and iron-stained shale, 1870 feet from which
Is a shaft sunk 95 feet deep on a distinct
vein OF iron, carrying a per cent of silver,
that In turn gives place to a vein of brown
quartz. From the bottom of this shaft Il
drift Is being ruI! Eorth, to strike under
the contact above mentioned, where it is
hoped a good body of ore will be found.
Several years ago a considerable quantity
OF ore, valued at $l40 per ton, was dis
covered close to the surface at the north
end of the claim, which was followed
until it was cut off by a dyke of ryolite.
The ground surrounding this ore body
was found to be loose and very unsafe, so
it was decided to abandon the place, in
stead of following the same in depth.
Later q tunnel was commenced near by
and this was run along the contact of the
ryolite and limestone for about Sc feet,
when q turn was made and the tunnel was
driven about 100 feet westerly through the
ryolite dyke, and GO feet beyond it into
hard limestone. 1t is intended shortly to
m running a drift, between it and
the limestone, where there appears to be
an excellent prospect for ore. The Uncle
Sam is a patented claim, about 1,050 feet
long by 600 feet wide. 1t is bounded on
the south by the Hamburg Con-, a mine
that has sent to the surface quantities of
ore a~ggregating many hundred thousand
dollars. To the north are the Connolly,
Helena, Mortimer, Liberty, California,
Silver King, Home Ticket, Golden Rule
aud Dunderberg mines, among which are
OF the most promising in Eureka
District.

wEAPONS
A Warming to Young Men who
Carry ArsenaIs.

Carry ArsenaIs.
A number of recent unfortunate affairs
resulting in the killing and wounding of
parties concerned in them, says the Sacra-
mento Bee, have caused the press to again
condemn most vigorously the carrying of
firearms. This is a practice against which
too much cannot be said. When we find
a man who is engaged in the more peace
full pursuits of life going about with a
pistol hung to him, we put him down as a
coward, or one who has been guilty Of
some act for which he fears being called
to sudden account. Why any honest,
courageous man should deem it necessary
to make of himself a walking arsenal in a
peaceable community, is something that
passes u comprehension, unless it can
be accounted for as above stated. Young
men just on the verge of manhood often
manifest a desire to carry pistols, and the
very fact of being armed frequently leads
a hot-headed youth into difficulties that
could just as we'll be avoided without the
least sacrifice of his manhood. A case has
just been concluded in a neighboring
county in which a young mantle son of
respectable and worthy parents and the
brother of several lovely and esteemed
sisters-was on trial for his life for the
killing of a Mexican with whom he should
have been ashamed to have acknowledged
even an acquaintance. Whisky brought
them together in places where the worst
characters were in the habit of meeting,
and the presence of the everlasting pistol
was finally accountable for the killing of
the Mexican in consequence of a row. AL
though saved from the gallows, that
youths life-and the lives of his respected
father, mother and sisters-have been
clouded for all the years that they may
live, and all because he carried a pistol.
His case should be a warning to other
young men.
The Bees structures are equally applica-
BILE to the young men of this State. There
should be a law against carrying a con-
cealed weapon, except by the law officers
and travellers. This is a matter for our
new legislators to consider,
