NEVADA MINING NOTES.

A mining district that Is just now
beginning to attract considerable at
tention and has every earmark of
making a producing camp is located
in northwestern Esmeralda county,
and known as Sunny Jim. The dis
trict is well within the Nevada state
line and Masonic, which has been at
tracing considerable attention on ac-
count of some rich strikes there and
the great Pittsbury Liberty property,
is only four miles from the new
camp The name of the district is
derived from the claim where the
first strike was made, Sunny Jim,
and this claim along with others is
now making good.
General Manager u. G. Williams
of the Friday Mining company at
Battle Creek sends good news regard
ing the operations on this property.
In the upper tunnel, he writes, he has
sent the tunnel In a distance of SO
feet. The last 10 feet of this dis
tance was in solid ore, the extent of
which it is not possible to guage,
for neither wall has been found. The
general average of the entire face is
between 20 and 80 per cent lead,
while he is saeking the better rock,
the average of which is so per cent
lead The lower tunnel, he states,
is breaking against a whole face of
milling ore. A small streak gives
assays running to 75 per cent lead,
and this streak is continually grow
ing wider as work proceeds.

It seems to have passed in the night, It is gone completely where? An cxneri- enced navigator explains the lapse thus:
 "In just about the middle of the Pa
 
 cific ocean is the one hundred and eightieth degree of longitude, and when that imaginary line is reached the westward traveller drops one day out of his calendar for the year. That line crosses the antipodes, or point on the earth's surface which is preciseli opposite 10 Greenwich, England, the place at which by common consent oi all nations tho counting of time begins At noonhay. when the sun is directly overhead at Greenwich, at other points to the westward the time will be ear'i- CT by one hour for each 15 degrees ef longitude. so. that when 19O degrees IS reached it will be midnight.
 "Twelyc hours have thus been Sai' ed. and the other twelve would be aei ed if the journey around the globe were completed. So by universal agree ment the 25th of December would he dropped by all navigators req aching the fatal line on the previous Gay, and travellers would be cheated out Of tLe{f Christmas at the only place on tl" earths surface where such thing could happen.
