Yesterday there were four sack of gold
bearing quartz in Wells, Fargo d Co.'s ex'
press car, which was valued at $4,000
The quartz was from the new mine recently
discovered by Peter Sherer, near Redding,
Shasta county, Cal. The gold is found in
connection with tellurium, in blush.

r. A. Hall, route agent, a Silver State re-
porter was shown some specimens taken
from the ledge. One piece, no larger than
a pullet's egg. contained $50 in gold; an
other, and a larger piece, contained quartz
and tellurium mixed with gold. The ledge
SO far as developed, is the richest ever
found on the Coast. Its owner, Peter

THE MINT FLURRY.
People Unduly Excited Over Uu
certafutfeS.

On Monday last a report spread very
rapidly about Carson that the Mint was tC
be closed down on the 1st instant, ant
that q letter had been received from
Burchard ordering a full stoppage of every
thing.
An Appeal representative called upor
Osborn, the Chief Clerk, who said tina
that there was no cause, in his opinion, fol
unnecessary alarm. He continued: ''To
day we received official letters from Bur
chsrd regarding the Mint. They wert
simply official letters, which always fol
low and substantiate the dispatches. Abou
three weeks ago a dispatch was received
stating that the appropriation for the Min
at Carson was exhausted, and that we wert
10 purchase no more silver bullion excep
partings from gold bullion until fur
Their notice. The dispatches were pub
lished in the Appeal at the time, and thes,
letters are simply verifications of du
plicates. If we produce silver bull
ion we are to deduct transportation
charges and send the produce to som,
other Mint. This is, OF course. virtual,
a shutting down Of all coinage operations
but need not be final; the same order ha
frequently been made before when the ap
| preparation ran short, and with a fresh ap
| preparation coinage has been resumed owe
| and over again. In my opinion there i
| no necessity of any scare, although, o
| course, / know nothing more than is Sc
forth in these letters. We have now $500,
| 900 in gold bullion and 700, 900 ounces O
| silver bullion; say So, 1000, 900 all told. /
ia probable that with a change of Min
Director there will be a change in the pol
icy of running the Mint, although I can
not say what will be done. In fact, n
one knows just now what will be the out
look, although this is no new thing, and l
lust what has caused alarm in Carson
good many times before.
Superintendent Garrard was called upon
but be was home at lunch.

CRIMINAL CARELESSNEsS.
Further Particulars Regarding she
WadswOrth Bridge Accident,

Further Particulars Regarding the
WadswOrth Bridge Accident,
Commissioner FOCUS visited the scene Of
the Wsdsworth bridge accident Sunday,
says the Reno Gazette of last Monday, and
furnishes the following additional par
t~iculars: A 19-animal team hauling three
heavy wagons loaded with 10000 pounds
OF wool attempted to cross the bridge that
was only calculated to carry with safety
5000 pounds, when a hub Of the trail
wagon struck q brace, tearing it out and
causing the structure to fall. The team
belonged to Senator Kaiser, Of Churchill
county. Mr.. Kaiser attempted to cross
the bridge last week with the same team,
but was notified by ex-Commissioner Saw
yer that the bridge was not strong enough
TO carry SO heavy a load and that he must
cut off the two trail wagons before attempt
ing to cross. 1t seems to be a gross
neglect bordering on criminality on the
part OF the man driving the outfit after
having been warned by Mr.. Sawyer. Com
missioner Hymers says that Mr.. Kaiser
will have to replace the structure at his
own expense, az the county ia in no way
responsible for the accident; that besides
making q practice of notifying parties
crossing with cattle or heavy loads of
freight the Board had q printed notice
suspended in the center of the roadway.

THE HEIFER PROBLEM.
An Explanation and the Figures of
the Same.

RUBY HILL, New, July 2, 1885.
EDITOR SENTINEL: My answer TO the
d" Heifer problem" seems to have excited
a cattle-eptic fit or dispute among several
persons. First, comes a blast from the
Richmond school to the effect that some
one in its ancient and classic precincts had
worked and explained the problem to
several pupils two weeks before l pub
lished the answe That may be; it does
not require great age either to solve or
understand ii; but why did not said per-
son send the answer 10 the SENTINEL 7
| Now comes Mr.. Thomas Stone, OF Carson,
who either does not read the problem cor
rectly or misunderstands its statement,
and challenges the Eureka man to
| prove his mistakes. Mr.. Stone makes
several mistakes.
First-He takes q as the number OF
terms. Now. as three years OF the Fl
years elapse before there is an increase Is
must be the number Of terms.
Secondly-He misquotes my figures,
| which l gave as 1873. and this answer
| agrees with that OF Mr.. Humiston, the
gentleman, who. in the East, first obtained
a solution.
Thirdly-His Eureka man" Is q lady
teacher Of Ruby Hill.
l here give the solution in full, and witt
these figures leave the Heifer problem
in the hands OF Mr.. Stone and the hich'
mond school.

A Movement to give stock. GrOwers
u More Extensive Market.

A&seh
The cattle business of Nevada is annually
increasing in magnitude and Importance,
The heavy Spring rains, which have fallen
regularly in March, April and May for
some years past, are gradually, but stead
lily increasing the grazing area of the State
and converting the deserts of q quarter OF
a century ago into good pasturage. Stock
men are also utilizing the waters Of the
Humboldt and other streams for irrigating
purposes, says the Silver State, and by
this means making good meadow lands,
where naturally there we're only scanty
tufts of rye grass. Alfalfa, too, is raised
successfully and what were sagebrush
plains a few years ago, now produce two
or three crops Of alfalfa hay in a season.
1t has also been demonstrated that rye
grass, which is indigenous in this part of
Nevada and grows luxuriantly in low
places where the soil Is moist, makes the
most nutritious and fattening hay when
harvested in season.
These things combine to increase the
beef product of the country, and as
cattle men are almost wholly dependent
upon San Francisco for a market, they
are considering ways and means to give
tucn I'LL Outl6t lOT tuelE D6eI Al tuo EAbb.
The most feasible method suggested and
the one which meets with most favor Is
that Of dressing the beef here and ship
ping it in refrigerator cars to Chicago, St.
Louis, or New York City. From %, 1000 to
10000 beeves are shipped from Winnie
mucca annually to California. 1t is al
legged that a few prominent buyers in San
Francisco can regulate the prices of these
cattle regardless of the laws of supply and
demand, and reduce their marketable
value from five to fifteen dollsrs o head at
will. The cattlemen must therefore, for
self-protection, seek an outlet east, and as
beef dressed here and shipped in refriger-
ator cars to its destination is far superior
in every respect to that shipped alive by |
rail aud slaughtered in Chicago, where
cattle arrive bruised and feverish after a
ride Of from 500 to 1000 miles in crowded
cars, and the cost OF transportation would
be much less, il is probable that dressed
beef will be one Of the principal articles
of export from Winnemucca in the near
future.
