. 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 .

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.

complete and elegant assortment of

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.

around the Court.House lot, te engaged
in making the castings at his foundry

ready to commence work upon the
ground. 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.
