CHIEF DIsrRIcr.-There were recently
81 tons Of ore laying around the old mine
dumps in Chief District and sent to the
Dry Valley mill, to test. The ore went
s3j in silver and 1873 in gold; total. s6s.
Ore gathered up at the old damps Of this
now abandoned district, about year ago,
vent about the same as this Tart lot.
The gold in this ore cannot be extracted
By mill process, it not being milling ore.
but by working it by the chloridizing
and roasting process it may be extracted.
The ore in Chief District will average
$40 or more in gold. The contemplated
railroad through this county will run

ent deserted, the time is not far distant
when Chief District will produce much
valuable bullion.
The Attorney-General writes County
School Supt., G.. r. Alexander, it is his
opinion that the bills contracted by the
school trustees while there was no money
in the school fund, are not payable out
VI the money which may hereafter be
paid into the fund. The law states pos
lively that the school trustees shall not
contract debts while there is no money
in the fund. Those who have purchased
up the late district school indebtedness
at a discount, may turn philanthropic
and make it present to the public.
The boys at Comet District continue
shipping in small lots Of rich ore. Those
who have worked their claims in this
way have been able to keep a working
and paying expenses as they went along.
II the other claim owners Of the district
had of done likewise instead of starting
in on a grand scale and running in debt,
the chances are favorable that there
would be a number of prospectors work
ing in the district to-day.
THERE are considerable grain and -four
being brought in from Utah. 1t is SELL
ing lower at the present time than we
have known it to for years. Oats were
sold Il cents per pound and chopped
barley is retailed by the stores at p
cents. Much Of the oats and barley con.
tains considerable wheat, and in conse-
auence the teamsters find it difficult to
dispose Of the mixed grain at any price.
IL mentioning the greatest mine in
North America, the Frisco Times says:
up to the present time the Horn Silver
put out $50, 600 tons Of ore, and has paid
81, 700, 900 dividends, besides buying into
the Utah Central railroad, putting up the
smelter, and now having en- route to New
York several hundred thousand dollars
worth Of bullion"
OwIsG to the reduction in carrying
freight over the Union Pacific there ii
vast amount Of freight arriving at tn
terminus of the Utah Central at Milfort
for the different mining camps in South
eastern Nevada and Southwestern Utah
1t appears that the merchants OF the vari
Gus camps are all laying in large suppl.
of goods.
TEAMS are steadily engaged in haulin
ore from the Day mine to the furnace
Bristol, but the furnace will not start u
till there is large quantity of ore an
Aux at hand. Supt Grim is pushin
matters 90 rapidly as convenience wi
permit, but it will probably be some III
tie while yet till the furnace is started.
SINCE it has become known that I'll
railroad is to run through Pahranag'
Valley, the price of real estate there hi

prices have risin SO high that they can
be reached with 50.foot pole, even
you stand on top Of the quartz mill.
