STRIKE IN SIERRA NEVADA.
Why the Stock Took n Sudden
Rise Recently.

The Virginia City Report says that
the cause of the rise in Sierra Nevada
Thursday, when the stock opened at II
cents and closed at 1925, was explained
W hen it became generally known that
ore had been found in the bottom of the
winzc sunk from the Layton tunnel.
The extent of the discovery cannot be
ascertained at present, or the value of
the assays be made public, but it is
known that it surpasses in richness and
extent anything found there yet. With
the present upward tendency of the
T.. .ug stock Market this discovery of
marit ought to give Sierra Nevada an
impetus that will send her a-kiting.
First we have rise in Occidental, ac-
companied by general upward move
of all stocks on the market now comes
the Sierra Nevada find. Atlast, on the
horizon of hope can the Comstocker's
aching eyes discern a little speck that
promises to develop into that full boom
we have so long waited, watched and
hoped for. 1t would seem that Provi-
denee, which of late has been so good
to the rest OF the country, has deter.
mined not to play stepmother to her
children on the lode.

]. B. Grant says; II have figured
out that, with lead at $3.50 and silver
at 559, it is just about as profitable to
miners as when lead is SO. 5,and silver
50. " and argues that the present low
price of silver will have no serious ef-
feet upon the production of lead.
Director of the mint Preston an
nounces that the price of silver bullion
makes the commercial ratio between
silver and gold SO to one, and predicts
that within six morths silver will fall
to 10 cents an ounce. He estimates
that the world 5 production of gold
this year will be about S240, 600, 600, of
which the United States will contrib
ute about $50 600, 900.
J. Y. Van Smith, Prescott, Arizona,
has potented a contrivance to save the
fine gold which ordinary escapes from
stamp mill. The device consits of sew
eral sets of silver-plated wire screens,
kept in motion by small water-wheel
operated by the water running through
the sluice. The water containing the
tailings in suspension runs through
about twenty of the screens which take
up tho gold. These are taken out and
the metal brushed off as it accumulrtes
The screens are then dipped in quick
silver and are again ready for use. Il
is practically automatic in operation.

What Col. Joseph Grandelmeyer
Writes the Salt Lake Tribune
OF it's Past Great and PaImy
Days.

Col. Joseph Grandelmeyer, who is
still resident OF Hamilton, White
Pine county, writes as follows to the
Salt Lake Tribune, of the departed
glories of the once fourishing mining
camp:
Il assisted William Hammond Hall
in making Typographical survey of
Treasure HILL The map showed all
the important locations and mines up
to 1869. and do you know that few
people are aware of the fact that there
we're %, 900 locations made in White
Pine district, the area Of which was II
miles square. The district had a popu-
lation of 35, 900, three daily newspapers,
eleven banks, forty faro games, five
express oifices-three of Wells, Fargo
& Co. and two of the Union Pacific
three telegraph offices, seven stage lines,

Humboldt County vs.. Lander Co.

Humboldt County vs.. Lander Co.
This action came on for trial by the
Court in Washoe county yesterday.
General II. NJ. Clarke and Harry War
ren appeared as counsel for Humboldt,
and w. d. Jones and J. +. Dennis as
counsel for Lander county. The action
was brought by Humboldt to recover
from Lander county the taxes levied
and assessed by that county in 1895, on
the strip of railroad track lying between
the boundry line and the monument
established in 1887 by the Surveyor
General. The matter has been II bone
of contention between the two counties
for ten years, both counties claiming
the right to assess this property, and
In previous trial the decision was ad-
verse to Humboldt.
Complete proof was made yesterday
of this county's claim, and Lander
county, while admitting all the mater
ial facts, still claimed the right to tax,
| uuuef Ilio SIdOlGc VI lliLlVuVloio' IT
appearing that between 1886 and 1892,
Humboldt had not assessed the prop
erty and that during that time Lander
county had, it was urged that Lander
county had acquired the right to tax
by adverse possession. The case is to
be argued on that point during the
next thirty days, that being the only
point that Lander county has to rely
upon.
