Strike in the Aunt Sally,

There is block of mineral ground bounded by the East Side on the west, the MizZen Top 9n the south, the Alps snd Horseshoe on the east, and the San Rafael and Hard Up on the north, that, in our judgment, has no superior in the district, for the same area. This plot of ground is covered by the Independence and Aunt Sally locations. The whole surface shows evidence of strong naturalization under heath, and the limited development being done IS proving that the surface indica- tions do not belle the contents of the lower strata of rock. Near the south end of the Independence, a vein of ore was found cropping out near the east side line of that claim and the west line of the Aunt Sally. This veln has strike northeast and south west, therefore it enters the Aunt Sally To- cation on its strike and not CD it's dip. The owners of this location started in about four weeks ago, and have sunk A shaft down to depth of 20 feet, following the ore from the surface Last night, whtn work was suspended, the vein of rich ore was nearly feet wlde, with about one foot more of second class. somewhat mixed with porphyry and quartzite from the wall rocks. The ore is carbonate and chloride, contained In granular quartz of the finest possible texture, and characteristics which indicate great strength in the vein. If this vein continues to develop as finely as they go down upon it, as it has in the past, it
 will prove the Aunt Sally and Independ- ence equal in value to any mines in the l

CHICAGO, April lO.-A Washing ton special says the indications are that General Rosecrans will be su- perseded in the management of the democratic congressional campaign, which is to be turned over to Roswell P. Flower.
 The report of the house election commission shows that charges of fraud and ballot-box stuffing in South Carolina are doubtless true. It shows that republican majority of 5000 for Mackey was thrown out and a democrat seated. In some places ballot.boxes contained more democratic votes than the whole num- Der of voters.

A SpOrtive Country.

A letter received here, says the Car son Appeal, from Arizona, states that Tombstone and Tucson contain near ly 500 gamblers of every grade in the profession. They are all said to be making a living either by foul or fair means. Once Tn a while check guerrilla is carried out of a gambling house on & shutter for plying his vo- cation rather too freshly; but his confreres generally take off his boots before he goes out. Many of the high-toned sports, most of whom hail from Nevada, have made big fortunes there.

And when the presi- dent says that twenty years IS too long, l can only say that in my opinion he either does not view the coming of the Chinese to this coun- try as an evil at all, or he does not look upon it as an evil of such mag nitude as we upon this coast do. l must assume that he, as logical and sensible man construes the word reasonable as allowing of all the time necessary to abate the evil, if 1t is an evil, and that when he says that twenty years is too much, he either thinks the immigration is no evil at all, but, on the contrary, an advan- tage, or that 1t Is but slight evil, not requiring legislative restriction.

Not for John .

From the Austin Reville.
 Somebody was cranky enough to put forward John Mackay, the bo- manga king, as aspirant for governor, but it must have been in a spirit of burlesque or something worse. Mac- kav is smart enough, in fact too smart, 10 be flattered into any such . trap. Years ago, the writer of this said to him: "You are pretty popular, Mr. Mackav, why don't you go in for, the honors of ofhce?" "Me run for office?" said he; "You know I ain't such d-d fool. 1 wouldn't take the presidency, or even the governorship of Nevada, if the'd give it to me-"

e WE have the assurance of the Gen. eral Sherman party that they enjoyed their short visit here exceedingly
 well. This is source of satisfaction to those who devoted their time and attention to the task of showing them

 the countenance of the hero of an hundred battles, at the reception on Saturday evening, can reasonably lpect to ever meet him again, as in a few weeks the breadth of continent will separate them for years, and possibly for ever.

DOS CABEZAs aOLD NOTES.

The hrst bar ot bullion from ayer Camp was shipped last Wednesday.
 Most of the prospects in the dis trict are being worked. The noun tain south of town is dotted along the side with ore dumps, and the miner in charge of the works, Patrick Kearns, says he is confident of strik- ing the ledge soon.
 Mir. J. B, Hanna, of Wilcox, &C., companied by J. N. Thaclser, min ing man of long experience, was in town on Thursday. MT. Thacker came for the purpose cf looking at the Silver Cave mine with view to purchase the same, if satisfactory 1t will be remembered that this gen tleman was the original owner of the famous Star mine, of Nevada, which he sold for $60,00O.
 At the bottom If the new shaft, about sixty feet in depth, the work men in the Juniper mine, last We'd nesday, encountered vein of ore that is literally alive with free gold. The ledge at the bottom of the shaft is seven feet in width, all in ore that has averaged over forty dollars to the ton at the mill. The last discov- cry is vein only two feet wide, but the ore will average over one hun dred dollars to the ton in milling.
 The owners of the Bear Cave mine, Messrs. Hart and McGregor, will commence work on the same next Monday. We are glad to note this, as 1t is an excellent property, and will. in time, yield a handsome sum. Miners who have worked in the bot. tom of the shaft say there is now lying in this mine, exposed to view. an immense body of good ore.
 Messrs. Riggs and Shafer have made rich strike in the Travellers Rest mine, located near town. An assay made the first of the week wen, thirtv.two ounces of gold to the ton This mine was the first location made in the camp; although abandoned fol some time work was commenced as soon as the mill started up, and sink. ing new shaft on the vein, at g depth of thirty feet they encountered streak of very rich ore, which, wher tested, showed the above result. We congratulate the owners on theil prospect.
 The Pumpkin mine, owned by Captain Charles Williamson, is con sidered one of the most promising properties Tn Silver Camp. It is ru mored that several parties are trying to obtain a lease from the owner with the intention of taking out or' and having it worked, it being wei known that the rock is of such higl grade that the lessees would realize handsomely from the venture. It i: undecided as to what conclusion th' captain may arrive at concerning tho step.

Further Particulars Of That Robbery From the Prescott Courier, April s.

We yesterday were called on by Messrs. Place and Moody. MT. Place was in the stage when it was recently "held up" near Flagstaff. He said the inside passengers were Mir. c. T. Rodgers, his son-in-law and daugh- ter, Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Stone, N. Barber and MT. Place. c. T. Lewis, Ben Baker and the driver, wee out side. The visitation, as we stated in yesterdays Courier, was made be- tween Flagstaff and Turkey Tanks, by three masked scoundrels. The leader ordered as follows, "Halt!" "Hold up your leaders," "Throw up." Two of the robbers acted as if they were old hands at the business; 1; the third fellow trembled some as he held hls loaded gun on the passen- gers. Mrs. Stone was treated very cavalierly by the robbers, and was calm and self.possessed. Her father, C. T. Rogers, who had not until re. gently seen her for twenty years, was concerned about her safety. But for tn presence of the lady, the male passengers would have made fight; as it was they surrendered watches, but not great deal of money. The robbers opened mail sack; one of them took a large letter, opened it, and put it in his pocket. MT. Place is of the opinion thac it contained a draft. We heard it hinted that the leader of the gang is known. Nothing has, as yet, been heard from the pur- suing party.
