. A ScraP or Minine History—A Very Ricu SrrKE—The _ following . facts in relation to the reeent rich strike on Rush Creek, we obtain from Joseph Lopes, a Brazilian, who is the fortunate one. Lopes went from his native country to Massachusetts’in 1846, came to California, arrived in Nevada city in 1848, and_ Jocated theséelaims in 1850. . the’ Excelsior mill and near “Bovyer’ 8 old store. After working the claims in 1850 Lopes sold, and the mines passed . through the hands of ‘several different companies, and were abandoned. He __ took them up again in 1852, and made $6,000 out of them, after which he left for the East. Returning, he once more went to work on them, and after working a short time sold out to Chinamen for $170. They left the ground after working a short time, and Lopes again took it up. . In 1859 he took out sixteen Ounces in one pan. From. that ‘time ‘he continued to work the claim at intervals, keeping it. . a8 a kind of reserve 1 back upon when he was not at work: here. On the 238d of Feb_Juary lasthe made a very rich strike, . and had, up to. the 11th inst., taken out from $200 to he eage day— achiving three Chinaman, ~ A: the last run he cleaned up $5,700 ‘out of 6 ground sluices. In seven weeks he — $18,000 in gold, and on the 11th he sold his claims to some atainaes friends for $6,000, Sufficient free water to work these claims is obtained from the head of Rush Creek, and by the aid: of a ditch and reservoir it is made to last all Summer. The pay dirt consists of stratas, or, more properly, veins of sand, running through the granite in . thonsands of differentcourses; and is very easily worked. Running through ~-the ground is a rich quartz-ledge; which . iv Is expected will soon be “uncovered. . Lopes has worked hard, has contended with many difficulties, and as a reward has made within a few short weeks a respectable fortune. The entire expense in the claims for the time he was taking out such large amounts, besides the hire of men,—oply— amounted to fifty cents for a pick handle. When Lopes sold * out the ground prospected from $50. to $70 per pan, and on Tuesday his successors took out dirt that prospected *: $20 to the pan. If our miners all had a little of Lopes’ energy and determination we should have more rich strikes and fewer victims of Frazer river excitements, ‘The strike in this claim has caused considerable excitement in the Mong and the whole -‘region round about”. has been staked off and located. FREIGHT BY WAY oF MARYSVILLE.— A Member of the firm of Walker, Moore & Co., one of the largest mercantile establishments of Marysville, has been in this county seemy the shippers with a view tosecure the shipment of freight by way of Marysville. He says he thinks freight can be brought ftom San Francisco to Nevada for from 72 to 75 cents per hundred, and he is willing to guarantee its delivery here for 80 cents, or $16 per ton from San Francisco.These rites are much lower than present charges. Muixe at Lirrie Yorx.—All the hydraulic companies in the Vicinity of Little York have commenced washing ~\_ With good prospects, “Curran & Pattiwashing off the gravel above ~the blue cement channel in the old Remin claims, and after the first “ran of a little less than ten days; they cleaned up $1,300> The mining opera_ tions of the present n will be more extensive on the Little York ridge, than for thany years past. ie ‘Tae Grant MiINE.—We were showl by J.B; Squires a letter from Carlile, in which it is stated that the snow is about six and a half feet deep at the Grant mine, ‘The workmen are pushing forward the, new of 24 feet. per week, three shifts ia twenty-four hours. The rock is Veryhard. ‘The face of the tunnel is no#'tich in gulphurets, indicating . ho hain gen This . ae of the bestin Meadow Lake . _wainas ee ne jin the country, and in order. that the people may be kept thoroughly posted, all possible information should be far wished them, The cheapest and easiest way to secure this is by the establishment of a reading room, supplied it with leading journalsof this State and the East. There will be any amount of campaign documents that might be read and circulated in this way. Nevada being the county Seat is the political centre of the county, and there. should be a hall where Union men from other parts of the county may come and meet with their friends. No more suitable place could be selected than Nevada city for a comfortable reading room.— We suppose the Armory might be obtained at a small rent. The expense of keeping up such an institution would be very lightand we hope the Union men of Nevada will take this matter into consideration. Tue District Court.—The District Court was yesterday engaged in the . }. trial of the Lung Lee Co. vs Perkenpine., Constable Perkenpine, by virtue of an execution, sold two stores kept by the ‘Lung Lee Co. inPieasant Valley, for a debt of Jerry Lyons, and shortly after a new store was started by Lang Lee, which was attached-and sold as the property of Lung Lee & Co. Lung Lee then brought suit to recover in the sum of some $900. Williams & Johnson appeared, for plaintiff, and Niles, Dibble and Thompson for defendants. nee {HE Buckeye Co.—The Buckeye claims,.owned by Stoakes & Co, are lo-. -cated. out ‘near Rock Creek, on the road Last season the by a shaft and/. to Cooper’s dge. ground was worked drift, the hoisting and bailing being done bya whim. First>tate returns were obtained by this slow process of working, ‘The engine and hoisting works of the Cunningham mine . ‘now being removed to the Buckeye,and with the additional advantage of maehinery the mine will no — yield large returns. THEY HAVE ComE!—A. Goldsmith, on the corner of Broad & Pine streets, received by express yesterday, a most complete and elegant assortment of Dress Trimmings, Fringes, Satins, Lace Shawls, &c., ever received in this city. Ladies, call if you desire to see a splendid lot of the very latest style of goods, which is the first.lot received in this city, having come by the steamer Constitution, which arrived a few days ago. MINING aT GoPrHER Pornt.—We learn that the Sailor Flat and Last Chance Co’s. at Gopher Point, on the Yuba, where the heavy slides occurred last Winter, are drifting into the banks and taking out first rate gravel, They have abundance of water in their sluices and will continue to work without stopping to clean up, until after the water begins to “slacken up.” BEAR VALLEY.—Bear Valley is now covered with snow to the depth of four feet, E. O. Tompkins informs us that at this time last year he was ploughing, and that his ranch is now from three to four feet under snow. The snow was never known to be so deep at this season of the year. CoRRECTION.—In the item in regard to the sale of mining claims at Grizzly . M B Hill, yesterday, we made a mistake in the name of the buyer and also in the amount. The claims were bought by. @ Mills and McMurray, andthe price paid was about $23,000. The purchasers will commence working the claims at an early day. New Muu—The new mill of the Nebraska Mining Co , at Frenchi Corral, will be completed in about three weeks. The mill has ten stamps, and will be used for crushing the cement from the hydraulic claims. . Wx understand that A. L. Slack, . % and are running County Recorder, who has been very slowly improving.

Men. were yesterday engaged in straightening out an ugly bend in the wall north of the Court House. EXPLAINED;—W, 8. Byrne’s friends have been anxiously inquiring as to his whereabouts since the adjournment of the Legislature. The cause is easily explained by the announcement that Byrne has been appointed Secretary of the Board of Tide Land Commissioners. B. F. Washington is President of the Board. We congratulate our ‘cotemp on his good luck. PuTNAM’s MaGazINE—<We are. indebted to H. H.
