GOLD In WHITE PINE.
The Joanna Bonanza-O:her Favor.
able Propseets-A Furnace Greatly
Needed I'm the Camp.

A correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune, writing from Ely, New, says
The Joanna mine, the property of A.
X. Watson, is situated about two miles
from the town Of Ely, up Robinson
Canyon, and is just on the north side
OF the old Aultman mine, and it is just
one mountain Of gold-bearing ore,
with not over three feet OF lime and
soil on the top OF the ore. | have
worked in the Richmond mine in Eu-
reka in its best days, in 1873 and 1874,
and | assure you | never saw as large
a body of ore in it as is this day in
sight in the Joanna, and the beauty of
il is the ore is right in
the side of the mountain and
can be mined very cheaply.
The price of extracting the ore at the
present time does not exceed so cents
per ton. What ore is needed at the
present, 35 tons per day, is taken
from two tunnels. One OF said tun-
nels is running up the canyon TO the
west, the other right into the mount
ain to the south. Each Of said tunnels
is 10 feet high and about 10 feet wide.
The ore is very heavy in iron, with
seams OF quartz and carbonate, no
lead, and is working up to 80 per cent
with a 10 stamp gold mill. The mill
is situated in the town OF Ely, and is
run by a water-wheel. The mill
is rented by Mr.. Watson for $l6 per
day, by the way a nice income to its
owners. The battery assay OF the ore
is $22 per ton in gold, but right in the
center OF the Joanna and dipping to
the east or down the canyon is a seam
or small ledge OF ore that is enormous
in richness. | myself from a small
pan OF dirt have taken over s. in gold.
| visited some other mines in this dis
trict, and | never saw more favorable
prospects in my life. But the most Of
the ore | saw outside of the Joanna is
rebellious, and, in my opinion cannot
be handled by a milling process.
What is needed in this camp is q
large furnace and an able manage
ment that will purchase ore from us
prospectors and give us living prices
for our ores, and | know from what ]
saw OF the mines there are thousands
of tons Of lead ore that can be pur-
chased very cheap here that will pay
large profits to a smelter, and coal car
be had for several years within ter
miles Of the town of Ely.

HELENA, Mont, April y, 1870.
EDITOR CARSON APPEAL: In YOU
issue Of the 26th ult., your Reno cor.
respondent, Truckee, seems to have
forgotten (if he ever knew, that there
is such a thing as telling what is true.
In other words, | want to inform your
readers that Truckee," in the issue
above alluded to, lied most damnably.
l do not deny owing some debts in
Nevada, but | do deny that | am in
debted in the sums and to the extent
as stated by "Truckee."
The Surveyor General could, il he
felt so disposed, brand as a lie the
statement that / owe him, or am re-
sponsible to him for any amount, how
ever small.
The statement that my valise is
held, or has been held by anyone in
the State for board bill or any other
kind Of indebtedness, is a lie.
Before leaving Nevada it was pub
lished in the Journal, If l remember
rightly, and some other papers in the
State, that / would go to Montana.
1t was known by bankers, hotel men,
journalists, merchants, the Surveyor
General and my creditors, that would
after March, be- in Helena, Montana,
SC that unless "Truckee +" can give the
names Of those who were inquiring as
TO my whereabouts" there is no
reason why your readers should not
also believe that "Truckee" lied in
his statement, "There is much in
quiry," etc. Very respectfully,
ALLEN A. GARNER.

The Slate Made lin.

The Reno Gazette states upon the
authority of a well known local politi-
clan, who claims to be on the inside,
but whose name it withholds from the
public, hal the slate for State officers
on the Republican side is made.
Archie Mcdonald, of Virginia City, is
to head the ticket. III. l.. Fish or T..
V. Julien, of Reno, is to be State Con-
t%roller, and Talbot, Of Elko, is to be
Attorney General. M. ID. Foley, now
Senator from Eureka county, is to rep
resent Washoe in the State Senate.
What is to become of T. B. Hickey,
who has been favorably mentioned for
the Governorship, and l.. A. Biakes-
lee, who has been named in connec-
ton with the Controllership, if the
Gazette's /" local politician" is right?

E. A. Culver, a few years ago, the
well-known Superintendent of the
Martin White Company at Ward, is
the person referred to in the following
dispatch:
DENVER, April Be. A. Culver,
whose wife resides at SO Pearl street,
Cleveland, o., was found dead in a
room Of the Henshaw Hotel late to-
night. Culver came here from San
Francisco, the first Of the week, and,
being out Of money, pawned some
clothes Friday afternoon, and went to
his hotel and engaged a room, which
he Immediately went to, locked the
door, took half a bottle Of morphine
and then blew his brains out. The
physician who examined the body
after the room was broken into to-
night says that he suicided shortly
after going to his room Friday.
Dependency and lack of money was
the supposed cause.

Miles FinIcn's Pistol.

A dispatch from Butte City, Mont,
dated April IL says: The registration
Of votes here to-day for next Mondays
election came near ending in a serious
riot. Political feeling has been high
here since the last election, and every
move on either side has been followed
with most jealous care. When a man
named w. ii. Deeney challenged the
registration Of another voter this after
noon, Miles Finlen, a well-know poll
%tician, took it up and a row ensued.
Finlen drew a pistol, but his arm was
seized by ex-Chief of Police L. p.
Smith and the gun turned down Just
as it was discharged. Smith was
slightly wounded by a ball in the hip,
but no one else was touched. Ex-
element a high and it looked as
though a serious riot was imminent,
but cooler counsel prevailed, and fur

Gum Chewing.

Memphis Democrat: 1t it said that
one of our prettiest and most popular
society girls practices chewing gum be-
fore her mirror. She says her desire
in life is to do everything in the most
becoming way, so she watches herself
to see that no distortions Of the face
take place. II a mirror could be sud-
denly held up before some Of the
masticators they would be shocked at
the spectacle they present. 1t would
be an act Of mercy to let them "see
themselves as others see them"
When the young lady above mentioned
has reduced the practice to a science
she ought to open a class and give
lessons in How to chew gum"

Frisco still stands.

SAN Francisco, April IA. Not
withstanding the fact that this is the
day on which, according to the
prophecy OF the doom-seekers San
Francisco and Oakland are to be de-
stroyed by an earthquake and tidal
wave, there is no indication in this
city OF such a disturbance. The day
is beautiful, and if any Of the believers
in Mrs. Woodwork and the prophet
Erickson, who are now encamped on
the hills in neighboring counties, were
in the city this morning, their faith in
the prophecy would probably be
shaken.

A very interesting game of baseball
took place last Sunday afternoon be-
tween the Clippers and Eurekas. The
game from the start was remarkable
for heavy batting on both sides. 1t
appeared as if the Clippers were going
to have a walk over, but the Eurekas
sprung a surprise on their opponents
and came out at the last inning four
ahead. Had the fielding been s good
as the batting it would have been an
exceptionally good game. The clubs
will play again tomorrow.

Advertising Lotteries.

A dispatch from Virginia City states
that j. NJ. Campbell, publisher of the
Virginia Enterprise was arrested on a
charge Of violating the Nevada Stat
utes prohibiting the publication of lot
terry advertisements. The penalty is
a fine of six months Imprisonment,
Mr.. Campbell gave bail for his ap-
pearance. Other papers in Nevada,
says the Silver State, advertise lot
teries without being molested by the
authorities. This would imply that
some mean spirited individual has q
grudge against Mr.. Campbell and
panders to his hate by having him ar
restad.

Lottery RumOr.

Rumor has it that the lottery men
have engaged R. S. Mesick and VIM,
Woods of San Francisco to assist in
the scheme, and that those gentle
men have given it as their opinion
that the special election held a year
ago was illegal. That being the case
the amendment will probably be
again submitted at the next general
election. 1t is further understood
that the lottery men are quietly work
ing the thing into shape to submit,
by getting men pledged to support the
measure-Reno Gazette.
