ey Laxe Vattey.—The Virginia City Enterprise has the following:
A geatleman who arrived at Virginia
City on March 23d reports a morder which
had been committed at Deep Hole Springs.
some 50 miles east of Honey Lake Vahey,
ov the emigrant road, whieh is supposed to
bave been the work of Indians. A man
named Bear keeps the station, and bad in
bis employ a young man who had recently
crossed the plains. Bear was called to
. Honey Lake on business, and leit the young
. /man alone atthe ranch. A traveler from
. the Humboldt arrived at the station and
. found it deserted, and all the stores and
provisions gone. On reaching Honey Lake
be told Bear that he thought bis hired man
had stolen his goods and run away; but he
. could not be made to suspicion the integri. ty of the young man, and a party immedi. ately returned aod instituted a search
. about the premises, The boly of the young
. man was found in the spring—which, as the
. name indicates, is very deep—in which it
. bad been sunk, but had subsequently risen
. to the surface, The head of the murdered
. man bad been eplit open, apparently with
}anax, All of the stores at the station bad
. been stolen together with aborse. Our
informant says the inbabitants of this sec. tion do not entertain a doubt but that it
. was the work of Indians, Mueh apprehen. sion exists in that region regarding the in. tentions of the savages. Not an Indian is
to be seen in Honey Lake Valley, which
the old settlers consider a very bad indica. tion, The hostile conduct of the savages
. in every direction calls for the prompt attention of our Indian Agent, if not for more
. to the following Bankers, who, for nearly four years, . active measures,

Placer and Quartz Mining.
The Virginia City Eaterpriee, in an article on quartz and placer mining countries,
says of the mines in that Territory:
In this Territory we have no placer di
gings, and all our gold and silver can on
be obtained by the a fag of patience in
prospecting for the ledge, and the expenditure of a large amount of money, b
any resulis are shown. Io many instances
the ledge when fully opened out proves unprofitable to work at the present expensive
rates for extracting the oree. Then again,
we have large companies, with well developed and valnable mines which are turning
out their tens of thousands of dollars every
month, but the sharebolders have failed to
experience the delights of sharing them in
the shape of aividenda, Other companies,
with equally as rich mines, are constantly
drawing upon their shareholders for assesments, which many fail, or are anable to
pay up, and therefore are compelled to lose
their property or dispose of it at a saerifice.
There are aleo scores of wildcat claims and
companies which have been ‘purchased by
eager-to-be-rich speculators,who have found
out that as itis not all gold that glitters,
neither are all Washoe mines of the like
value as Gold Hill, or the Ophir. Io speaking of the wealth of this Territory we are
apt to overlook the fact that it isin its infancy; for gigantic as has been the progress
we have made in material proeperity during
the time that bas elapsed since Washoe first
started into existence, yet.it is but a tithe,
the smallest fraction, of what we have every reason to expect wilf be our advance in
wealth in the next few years. The ledges
now being prospeeted will be developed into many an Ophir io richness. Phe eompanies now extracting the metals, and yielding returns, but no dividends to suareholders, will bave made ail the necessary improvements and openings for more thoroughly workiog their mines, and then the
profits will be large and the dividends bandsome, The aesesement companies will have
got to work, and those unwelcome calls will
be forgotten im the brightening prospects of
the future, and last of all, wild-cat claims
will have ceased to exist, With our mines
and minera} wealth, the fature points to a
time of uoparalleled prosperity, when placer mining eonntries will have Jong since
ceased to produee the precious metals, and
become unknown as gold countries,
Small Peat the Bayer Vascination.
The Pacific Medieal Journal, published
at San Franciseo, bas the following in relation to the emall pox ia that eity, and the
protective influence ef vaccination.
In the absence of all direct data on the
subject, it is difficult to term an opinion as
to the number of cases, but from all we can
learn from our professional brethren, we
are inclined to think that the cases in the
city, at one time, have never exceeded 150
or 200, and probably not so many, as this
number would give one case to every 750
or 500 inhabitants, and had the disease exexisted to that extent, we think we should
have beard more of it. We are only surprised that it has not spread more, as the
result of our re-vaccinations shows that at
least 6 per cent. of the population are ia a
condition to tuke the @isease, as in this proportion have our cases of re-vaccioation
sbowa themselves susceptible to the vaccine
virus, It is probable that, owing to the
mild character of the disease, it is not so
contagious as when ft is mere severe. The
epidemic will, most likely, seen die out for
want of subjects, as attention ts now being
very generally given to re-vaccination.
In regard to the proteetive influence of
vaccination, etatements bave bees published in the newspapers, which wonld tend to
sbow that it does not extend beyond two or
three years. Thiste certainly going from
one extreme to the other. Although the
continued immunity that was supposed to
be afforded by a single vaccioation from
small-pox is an error, it is no lees erroneous
. to assert dbat the operation requires to be
performed every second or third year. We
consider that, as a geveral rule, re-vaccinativn at intervals of seven years, up tothe
age of 35, will afford a fair average protection from small-pox; or, should the protecition not be absolute, the disease will be
. rendered so mild as to be almost barmless.
'The etatistics afforded through a long se. ries of years, at the London Small-pox
Hospital, show that but few patients under
. 10 years of age bave been received with
. small-pox after vaccination. After 10 years
the numbers increase considerably, tbe largest number of admissions being between
. the age of 15 and 25, and, although pro. gressively diminishing, they continue rath‘er large up to 30; from 30 to 36 they are
. nearly the same as from 10 to 15, After
35 the cases go on diminishing, but the pro. portional mortality ismoch greater—the
. disease appearing in a worse form the more
the protective influence of infant vaccinaition bas been exhausted by the lapge of
. time.
