The above is a very rich district. There
have already been about forty locations
made, comprising over 1000 feet. Inc
leads are large and wel-defned, ana
among the best in the Humboldt coun-
try. and must, in a short time become
immensely valuable, as there is abund-
ance Of wood and water power in tn
immediate vicinity of the -eads. Most
of the above locations were made under
the direction of e. A. Scott, who was the
founder of the d strict, and Is a SO the
agent of the Scott Mining and Exploring
Company. His having spent some "
years in the Humboldt country, and being
a practical man in the min ng business
is a sufficient guaranty of the richness OF
the above district. Parties gong to The
Humboldt country in the future will do
well before returning to visit the Santa
Rosa District.
We also call particular attention to tn
SIERRA DISTRICT.
This is also a very rich mining Locality
and is generally known as the "East
n 1t IS about fifteen miles from
the celebrated Sheba. and is thought to
be one of the richest districts in Nevada
Territory. There are seve raj TUNE s row
being run into the different leads, thu
most prominent of which is that of tn
Eclipse Turnel Company. which is con-
Quoted by and under the supervision OF
C. J. Barber, who is pushing the WORK
on rapidly. The name of the leads which
he Is tunneling are as follows: Thomas
Jefferson, Great Western, Gran tie, Lady
Franklin, Lady Washington. Lady Mad
ison, Eclipse and Eclipse No. 1-al1 of
which are among the very best in Hum
bo,dt county, and must, ere long, riva
in productiveness the richest mines In
that section of country. Capitalists d
sirous of investing in mining interest
cannot make a safer or more proftabl
investment than in either of these q
tricts. Numerous other rich districts
and leads might be mentioned, would time
and space allow, among which are tn
Cherokee, Morning Star, Scottish Chief.
Washington, etc.
HARMONY DISTRICT.
This district is located in the north END
of the San Francisco mountain, about IS
miles northeasterly from Unionvil1e, and
was organized in June. 1863, by M. Mile
son and party. They e'ected Isaac
MI Ter (the discoverer of the celebrated
Sheba mine) Recorder, and the laws o.
Sta District were adopted. From dis
coveries already made of rich lodes of
mineral in thisd district and from the gen.
era features ard geographical position
of San Francisco mountain, 1t is ev'den
that there will be found the long looked
for deposits of native silver. This noun
tain is one of the chain known as he
East Range, looming up to an a'tisud
far above all theirs composing this
chain. and lying directly within nh
track of thes grand river Of magnetic cur
rentsth at lows to and from the north
and south poles of our g ODE; one Of tn
offices of which is the deposition of min
eral in beds of that peculiar quartz whieh
has an affinity with the mineral elements.
M. Mil eson has coated the Grand Cen
trail series of ten lodes: the eager series
of three lodes and the Franconi lode, in
this district, and from specimen ms of the
Groupings now on public exhibit on, 4
seems not at al p~rob'ematical but tha
by a thorough prospect of those calm
vast beds of native silver viii be found.
One lode of the Grand Central series
shows a bed of mineral rock, rich in 81 :
yer, copper and iron, of from ten to one
hundred and fifty feet wide. The Frar-
conf lode is sixty feet wide. and all ttae
pings the whoe length of the Gains, IN
many PAGES throwing up their crests Of
the richest quality of rock ten feet abovf
the surface of the ground. That is
without doubt. the richest mineral DIS
trict yet discovered In Nevada Territory.
