Has been done in Robinson District
so far this season, and the result has
been satisfactory all around. There
are now dozen mines in the district
fairly developed, and il their owners
only had milling facilities they would
ask no odds of any mining magnate
in the world. But this is the last OBJ
stacle the prospector has to encouuter.
First he finds the mine, then he works
it-sometimes for years-to show that
he has it, but he may have ever so
much pay ore, if il is not high grade
enough to ship thousand miles by
wagon and rail, he is but little better
off than the first day he started out
in the hills to looks for the precious
metal.
There Is great wealth of the preci-
Gus metal in this district, and the
work of the hardy prospectors for
the past few months has brought
much of it to light. What pity that
the mining experts who were here
last winter, when everything was
covered with snow, conld not see our
district now, with the greatly i'm
proved features it presents. We
may have to wait awhile, but the
time will surely come when Robinson
District, despite all all drawbacks,
will make its mark as great gold
producer. The mineral is here and
it will be taken out.

THE PEACOCK MINE.
An Immese Ledge Of Gold Bearing
Quartz.


Last Saturday at the invitation of
ID. q. McQuitty, Major Treece and the
the NEWS scribe jumped into his
carryall and were driven across the
valley and up the foothill grade to
within 500 yards OF the Peacock
mine. Ten minutes walk up rather
steep grade brought US to the mine.
The fattering reports that had
reached us from time to time of this
new discovery, and OF which mention
has several times been made in the
NEWS, were more than corroborated
by an inspection of the property and
the surrounding formation.
The outcroptings are bold, regu-
lar, well-defined quartzite, running
east and west, with not trace of lime
to bo found. Three openings have
been made on the ledge, some dis
lance apart, and the vein matter
shows a brittle, decomposed quartz,
carrying free gold that in some pieces
of the rock can be seen with the
naked eye. There no question but that
the vein is a true fissure; in fact, we
have never seen SO well-defined a
ledge in this county, except, perhaps
III the Star mine at Cherry Greek.
The cropping shows ledge matter for
at least width OF 20 feet.
The owners are now sinking a 6x6-
foot shaft on the ledge, and were
down twelve feet at the time OF our
visit. They will sink TO depth of
forty feet and then erosscnt south for
the foot wall, thus determining to a
certainty the width of the ledge.
The material they are taking from the
shaft is lively quartz that will prob
ably mill all through $40 per ton.
The lowest assay made was So and
the highest $3.50. Intermediate as
says range between $40 and $50.
But the owners are building no
air castles on high grade mine.
What they believe they have-and
what all the indications warrant
them in believing-is that they will
open up an immense mine OF Sl5 to
$50 ore, and the judgment of mining
men who have seen the property Is
all in the same direction.
The locators and owners of this
promising property are: David Dem
nett, Thomas Johnson, Newton Boyd,
A. q. MeQuitty, j. X. McQnitly and
d. &. McQuitty; and though none of
them are wealthy, they have strong
hands aud stout hearts and propose
to sufficiently develop the property TO
show capitaiitalists who come to see
it that they are not buying ga cat in a
Bag Neither are they so unreason-
able a To ask million or more for
the property.
The Pecoek mine is situated about
"a miles due "A little north Of east
from Ely, in the foothills Of the
Schell Greek range, and we firmly
believe that by the Fourth OF July,
1891. il will loom up as the biggest
mine in Nevada.

located the eastern and western ex
tensions.

Dastardly Vandalism.

A mean, contemplate act of van
dalism was perpetrated in the Ely
school house Saturday or Sund ay
night. Books we're torn up and strewn
on the floor, besides another act not
fit to name in public print. We are
loath to believe that any grown per-
son had anything to do with so con-
temptible an outrage, and believe it
must have been the act of some young
hoodlum attending school. The
Trustees should do all in their power
to ferret out the vicious offender, and
not only have him expelled from
school, but give him term in the
county Jail. 1t may save him term
in State Prison in later years.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Humboldt Big Water Suit Dis
missed by Judge Fitzgerald

missed by Judge Fitzgerald.
The rater suit of Peter Marker et
ais VS.. about couple of hundred
land owners, on the Humboldt river
and its tributaries, which was on trial
at Winnemucca, has been dismissed,
Judge Fitzgerald having decided the
water law, passed by the last Legis-
lature, to be unconstitutional. There
were seven points raised in defend
ants objections to plaintiffs petition
and we understand they were all sus-
tanned by the Court. The following
are the principal ones
That the law under which the &C
ton was brought is invalid and un-
constitutional, because il operates to
deprive persons of property without
the process of law. TART. VII, Sec. 81
That the Act is invalid and uncon.
stitutional, because the same is not a
general law, in case where a gen.
eral law can be made applica BILE.
art. ", Sec. 20.l
1t is unconstitutional and void, be-
cause it operates to deprive owners of
water of vested rights therein, by
denying to such owners opportunity
to present and have such rights adj :
Indicated and by providing for the
the distribution of such rights among
the owners of water bitches, canals
and reservoirs.
1t is unconstitutional, because it is
a special law, regulating the practice
of Courts of Justice, which is ex-
pressly Inhibited by Article ", Sec.
20 OF the State Constitution.
1t is unconstitutional, because it
vests in the Executive Department
power expressly delegated to the
Legislative Department. 1t delegates
to the Governor the law-making
power to wit: The power to create
water districts and establish the
boundaries thereof, and the discre-
ton to extend or withhold the bene-
fits of the Act from portions of the
State and the people thereof.
The case will doubtless be appealed
to the Supreme Court.
