 A NEW EXCITEMENT Has been created by the discovery of a | valuable silver ledge, situated just soutl | of Meyers district. The formation of the country rock is a combination of granite and porphry, 9 number of strinsers of sulphurets of silver mixed with nativ, silver and all lead to one common bods or ledge. There have been no assays made, but the general opinion of mining men who are experienced in such mat ters, is that it will assay up into tue thousands. The most prominent of this group of claims, is

 which has every indication of being a rich and permanent ledge. On this claim there has been a shaft sunk thirty five feet. There are great number O claims the majority of which are not yet opened.
