orally attended The services were con-
Quoted at the NJ. f. Church, by Mr..

Senator J. P. Jones, says the Vir.
ginia City Enterprise, has twelve men at
work in the ground leased in the upper
levels of the California and Consolidated
Virginia mines. They are running a
drift on the 1900 level from the south
line of the Consolidated Virginia. The
work is under the superintendency of
James Rule, an old Comstocker, and a
miner of great experience. The drift is
being run in ground wholly newt
keeps well away from the old north
drift, now caved and closed. 1t would
have cost more to clean out and retimber
the old drift than to run new one; be.
sides, in running through new ground,
there is chance OF finding something OF
value.
Reno Journal: An amusing incident
occurred in Court the other day on the
arraignment Of English George for grand
larceny. Before proceeding to read the
indictment the Clerk handed the defend.
ant certified copy. This the defendant
opened and carefully followed the Clerk
through the reading. At the conclusion
the Clerk postponed the usual question,
ITO this indictment do you plead guilty
or not guilty?" After moments hest
tation during which time the defendant
seemed to be examining the indictment
he answered, II plead not guilty; there
is mistake here; it was black mare
instead Of a bay horse This singular
confession brought down the house ant
caused momentary smile to enliven tn,
face Of the Judge. In the meantime tn,
prisoner was remanded into custody to
await further developments.
The Found Treasure claim near tn,
Commonwealth, says the Times Review
has by far the best surface prospect tina
was ever discovered in the district. A
a depth Of Is feet there is q hedge fou
feet in width, nearly all pay ore, whicI
experienced miners estimate will ayerag
$500 per ton. There is vein Of abou
eight inches which will probably worl
upwards of thousand dollars. The or
is mostly gray chloride, although nea
the bottom Of the incline on the foot wa
there is streak of rich sulphuret comm
| in, which is gradually widening an
which will probably, when sut6cien
depth is attained, fill the entire space b.
tween the wallis. 1t has every appear
ance Of true assure vein, and miner
who have examined it are unanimous i
the declaration that it surpasses anything
SO far as prospected, that was ever struc
in Tuscarora. The location is owned b
Mrs. Eliza Graham.
