The above claim is situated ene ‘mile east of the well-known Pittsburg mine, and on the south of the ridge extending fromthe Banner mifie to Town Talk. It is ownea: ‘by Messrs. Captain Moore and John Vail. An’ incline 200 feet deep was sunk oh the south side of the-property several vears ago, and a fine ledge struck. Water prevents it from being worked deeper. without, machinery. Monday morning prospecting® % was. com~-menced 400 feet, north of this incline, the owners hoping to get at the ledge near the surface in that locali ity. After two or three hours work, and just atthe grass roots, two fine chutes ‘of pay ore were discovered.

Next Tuesday the Ww orkingmen of "Nevada corfnty will” hold primary elections in every precinct to elect delegates to the C ounty Convention which meets in this city on the Spt —-jnstant for the purpose of electing delegates to the State and Congressioval Conventions, . The basis of representation in the County Convention is-one delegate foreach elec.tion precinct, one for every fifty voters in each precinct, and one for every fraction offifty over twenty-five where the number is less than fifty. The qualified voters of the various precincts will be allowed to vote at the ‘primar y election * on pledgi ag _ themselves to work and vote with the Workingmen’s Party. Thus rings the deat}. knell of the Chronicle’s New Constitution Party so far as: Nev ‘ada eounty is concerned. p SEIS easter Dee -—. “A People’s Party, That’ an old-fashioned. People’s Party is needed’ in many counties of d‘alifornia, and in Nevada particularly, is pretty generally conceded. .

The Freight Business. The Neyada County Narrow Gauge Railroad continues to i ingrease its freight business in the upper part of this and Sierra. counties. J. A.

All, this freight has heretofore gone around the other’ way. The railroad company now keeps ten sixhorse. tea:ns on the roads leading 0) various points above here, and by Fall it is expected the business will have’so iycreased as to give employmen to double that number.

The Rentz Minstrels will appear at the Theatre in this city on Tuesday evening next.

The “specialties that intervene between this and the burlesque of “Paris” are varied. + A Warning to W orkingmen. The Truckee ‘Republican was evidently in-dead-earnest when _it—espoused the Workingmen’s cause _recently. Hear it: “The Chronicle may believe it-has sufficient power to . organize a party which will carry the Summer’s campaign. This is’ consummate cheek or deliberate treachery. We incline to the latter opinion. The De Youngs believe they ‘are SO pow ‘erful that uniting with Terr y Howard and others of that ilk,« a full fledged party can be produced which shall sweep the political field. Rather-is it probable that they have secretly plotted the overthrow of the Workingmen’s party. With prestige justly earned ky their bold fight for the Constitution, they proposed to create a split in the ranks of the Workingmen, w hich shall result in giving balance of power into the hands of the Repwblicans or Democrats. .

H. Tredway is experimenting on rebellious ores, at Reno. The process isthe invention of John A. Robertson, of Oakland, and is so simple and uncomplicated that one wonders it was never thought of before. Mr. Tredway has experimented with ores from a number of mines, -«all of them -mere formly successful in his. treatment. It is claimed by the inventor that more of the precious metals can ~be saved by the actual working: with . this process thar it is: poastble to get }with-2 fire assay: Should,this be so —and the result of Mr. Tredway’s experiments seem to bear out the assértion — scoresof mines on this Coast, now lying idle, will soon be streams of bullion,— The cost of working ores by the Rohertson process is very small, and all kinds of ore yield to the same treatment. If the process proves as great @ success on a large scale as it undqubtedly. has on ema, all the ores or less rebellious, and has been uni. “Fre !

Mr. Tredway’s method is to break the ore up into small _pigces, after which he seapts.it in an ordinary portable assay furnace of iron. When it-is sufficiently roasted, it is thrown, hot, . s into'a chemical ‘bath, made by dissolving salt, bluestone: and syenite of potassium in water. The ore is then, washed off with cokl, water, placed in a miniature pan, mill, and ground to a fine pulp, quicksilverbeing put in to amalgamate the precious metals, is soft and brittle and grinds up easily. The pulp is then panned in an retorted ina simple retort made especially for prospectors’ use. The erection of a furnace and “treating the ores with the chemical bath would be ail the changes necessary in an ordinary stamp mill, for working ores by this process. Reduction works on the Robertson plan are in successful opergéion in Sacramento, with a capacity for about one ton per hour. df the tests made aré& satisfactory, § similar reduction works will be erected i in Reno.

The Stock Exchange thus lets its prophetic sqyl loose :—A Chinaman was murdered by some of his countrymen on Monday night and thrown into the Truckee river, from which the remains have been recgvered.— Two Chinamen are in custody, charged with the crime, but it is not at ali likely that they will be convicted —Chinese assassins rarely can be.— The only thing that we can count confidently on is an illustration of the murder in the New York flash sheets next week—a wood cut, markeq ‘‘brutal murder,” and representing the enraged white populace of Truckee heavi ing the mangled carcass of the Celestial into a roaring current, while the Mayor, Town Counciland local preacher keep the Sher. iff's posse back with shot-guns, Tue Democrats are mighty insecure in the Senate gad no, wander. The next election, if they continue in thejr pyesent course, will probably leave them without a majority. They have therefore taken the preliminary steps to unseat Senator Kellogg of Louisiana, and admit one Spofford, who.has already been -decided to haye-no claim to the seat. But then desperate diseases require desperate remedies, “toe By a popular vote in Switzerland the penalty of death by hanging has been adopted. The increase of murders after the death penalty had been ‘abolished led to this change of public 4 sentiment. Murdershave increased at an alarming extent in the State of Maine since the abolition of capital ‘punishment. _— > THE pea is “adhe that . the Peck mine of Arizona has produced $300,000 within a short time; that . ; there have been, no unusual oytlays for dead work or improvements; and yet no dividends have been paid. a ae m1 7-_-_———— + 2 THe fact that there were 1,668 more boys than girleborn in Ohio last year, would indicate that they intend to keep up the * munly of office-holders, THE spring style of hand organ will have but one stop. _ It will begin After roasting the ore }is79, by Rev; Father Meagher,-A-G~Goodordinary gold pan, and the amalgam . , Chas; E.
