A large jollification mass meeting was held in Me- chanics’ Hall, an immense pavilion in Sap Francisco, on the evening of the 26th, to rejoice over the defeat of the Santillon land claim and the overthrow of the Peter Smith title by the State Supreme Court. Everything is quiet and orderly throughout the State, and there is no news worth sending abroad. Mining accounts from Carson Valley are but a repetition of the same story. The Ophir Company are tending to San Francisco fifteen tons of ore per week from their claim in the Comstock lead, which is worth on an average $2,000 per ton. About one ton in twenty taken from the mine is of this richness, and js sen’ to San Francisco, The balance remains in piles at the mine, to be used when emelting works are erected on the ground, This kind of ore is considered worth from $500 to $1,000 per ton. Of the richness of the Comstock lead for an extent of a mile or more there is no longer doubt, but it remains to be proven whether there is an- other valuable silver mine in the Territory. ‘The population of the Washoe region is reported by the local papers as increasing both by immigration from Sal Lake and California.

Some fine specimens of gold from’Queen Char- Jotte’s Island, in posecesion of the Indians, are mentioned by the Victoria Gazette. The war between the different Indian tribes on Van- couver’s leland progresses with unabated fury, and the government appears perfectly indifferent on the subject.
