COUNTY ani GIPY OFFICIAL PRESS TURSPAY, JULY 17, 1866. _—_——— . ae Wittow VAtier.~Witbin the past twelve months a fiuurishing mining prospect has opened in the vicinity ef Willow Valley. A twélvemonth since the ground was hardly broken within the range of the Valley, now,” large numbers of ininclines and shafts are sunk, and several very fine works are in operation. The population 1s nearly doubled, and two very comfortable boarding houses ure doing a] fine business. “The mines present excellent indications as far as they have ‘been opened. The Talbot ledge, which was discovered about a year since, has been more thoroughly prospected than any other in the Vailey. This, with Magnolia, Muntana and others, is lucated on the west bank vf Shady Creek. From the creek a number of small stringers, which are very rich and from which a quantity of coarse quartz gold kas been-takeo, run in a westerly direction into the bill. These are supposed to be feeders frum the larger ledges which run through ‘the Valley. The locators of the Talbot vorked the ledge by shaftand tunnel ‘to the water level, taking out rock that paid from $25 tv $36 per too, when most of the origina! holders weld out. Eddy of French Corral, Marselus, Barton, and one or two vthers now own the claim. This. company recently completed spleadid hvisting and pamping machinery. The buildingis thirty by sixty feet, two stories bigh, and one of the inost substantial structures in the county. The engine was ‘built at the Nevada Foundry. It is of twenty-seven horse powerand is a splendid piece of work, The beiler, furnaces, hoisting and pumping gear all work charmingly. The Cornish pump is used, and the water is lifted te the level ‘of the old tuanel. The incline has two compartmetits, one for the pump and stairway snd the other forthe car. The rock. is hoisted to the secund story. In every part of the mine there is: plenty of room and men can work to the best advantage.— Fresh air is driven to the bottom of the inéling bya wind-pan. The incline, is sew down 120 feet. They are running uuder the ledge which is from two and half to thiee ‘feet thick. Itis thought that the grade of ’ the ledge will svon change and it will come into the incline. Should it nut do so, a _shvot will be run upto cutit. The Inet crushing from the ledge pid $33, and since its discovery money enough has been taken out to pay the expenses of working und erect hoisting works as good as any in the county. The next ledge south ofthe Talbot, is the Montana, owned by Mohler & Cu. An incline has been sunk on this claim to the depth of 80 feet. The ledge is well defined aud shows on both sides uf the incline from top te bottom, Reck erushed trom this incliow paid from $16 te $50 to the ton. Further southis the Magnolia ledge, owned by Carr & Co. Several shafts have been sunk upon the ledge and rock taken out which pnid as bigh as $40 to the tun. The average of the ruck is from $2U tou $25 per tea: The shaft in which the cowpany. is: now at work is about 40 feet below the surface. ; Kawt-of these claims, on Deer Creek, the Orieatal mill and Murchie’s mill are lucatedAbove the former ‘is thé Buckeye” mine.— The Oriental nil! Co.,F. Miller Superintendeat, is running an incline tor the purpose of ‘prospecting this ledge. McLain touk ruck out of the old’ tunuel from which he worked $200 in » hand wortar. The Dead Wood is owned by Foster, . ~ Parke: & Co. ‘This company have reachefi adepth of 50 ur 60 feet. They huiat by hand and raise the waterby a sx inch Hanebrow pump. They hove a large ledge which they are working in two places. The surface rock pays $53 per ton and is more than paying the expenses of sinking the iu“cline. The Mouimeth, Federal Loan and other companies above are running tunnels and sinking shafts fur the purpose uf epening the, claims.. The rock crushed from all these ledges paid. well. There are few places in the: State where ledges show finer proapects than those of Willow. Valley. When-they are thorough. lyopened'the gold yield of the county will be turgely increased. We are, infomed, that on last Saturday night a ‘very distinct shock of an earthquake . wee felt io this city. “. most important public works ever constract‘had one of his legs torn off by a threshing ‘cost ftom 2 to 10 millions of dollars.— When constructéd it will be one of the ed in this country.-.A breach of promise suit has been commenced against GenoHM.

Acase occurred in this city on last Sunday which fully illustrates the roughness of the “course of true love.” It appears that a colored man named George Waters, sged about thirty. and Clarissa Buoth a sable lady of abvut fourteen, determined to marry,and being unable to obiwin the consent of “ye stern parient,’’ made up their minds to elope. Waters hired a team at Hunk Place’s stuble on Sunday night, stating that he was bound for Dutch Flat. He met the young-lady as she was returning from Church with anoth‘er fellow, and she, to the astonishment of her escort, juinped into the buggy and drove4 off. The affectiunute pair struck for the State of Nevada where they hoped to be “made one flesh;” but they bad not gone ‘amile before the axle of the vehicle broke, and they were spilled out upon the ground, the would-be groom very much bruised.— They sent to town for another vehicle but none could be obtained. They determined still not to give up and made for the woods, The father of the girl yesterday offered $75 for the recovery of his child. and ‘ye cruel officer” sturted in pursuit, The parties were found in the grove near Sugar Loaf, and thegirl brought back. The borseof the officer who went to make the arrest was frightened by a white man who took the part of Waters. Theanimal threw bis rider and the friend threatened tu ‘blow the top of his head off." The girl resisted desperately the-attempt-to tear her trem her lover, and it was With the greatest difficulty that she was brought to town. .
