Oarson has been thrown exeitement that reminded one of the olden days. Willlam Zirn, the original diseov- eror of gold at Pine Nut, has come in with a few hundred pounds of gold rock that was a wlght 1o behold, says a Carson special the San Franciico Examiner. The rock was quart. ixed with feldspar and black manganes d it was literally veined with It would have been easy for a with a pair cf pincers to have hundreds of dollars worth of gold. Zirn also brought in about §2,000 worth of free gold, which he took from his ledge a week ago. He said as he showed the mens: “I know that | into a state of man extracted have at last found t main ledge. The zold we have found befo las been float off the main ledge. Th rock I took out seventy-five feet from where 1 made the first discovery. The well defined. The shaft Is down sixty and this ledge is five feet wide. I can trace it nearly 200 feet “The hanging wall is a greenish stone, 1ike thero is on the Comstock, and the foot wall is porphyry. You see this rock free milling or It afsays about ton. Talk about rock—this is not nearly rich as some 1 will bring in In a few lays. The richness increases as the shaft goes down, and I am positive that we have found the mother ledge at last.” Several parties have started for Pine Nut 1o take up claiins and resume work on claims abandoned la:t year. All the country about Pine Nut is pretty well located, and little ground is left. Zirn also has a piece of ore welghing pounds, almost pure &old. Zirn claims that gold is so thick in the ledge that is afrald to put in a blast Zirn has securcd a cabinet eight feet high and four feet wide, filled with gold speci- mens, which he has placed on exhibition, where crowds of people viewed the proofs of the wonderful discovery. Another big strike that is reported in the ¥ielnity of Pine Nut is that of W. H. Bag- will, @ locator, who s down sixteen feet on @ ledge taking out silver ore that assays $2,168 per o The ledge starts at the fop two inches wide, and at sixteen feet it 13 over eight inclies in width, There Is plenty of wood and water in th vielnity, and the location is in a direct line With the Pine Nut, about six miles west The ledge, which can be traced several hun- dred feet by the croppings, makes stralght toward the Pine Nut ledge, which is nearly Il gold. If it should turn out that the ledge is a continuation of the Pine Nut Jedge it would indicate a larger ledge than tha Comstock and richer. The excitement over Zirn's discovery is unabated, and the gold on exhibition is so rich that no one questions the assay of $80,000 a ton. ¥ A MONTANA ELDORADO. One district which Is attracting the atten- tion of the mining men of the west and ‘which promises to soon be classed among the &roatest in the west Is the Little Rockies, & in Teton county, to the south of the Fort Belknap Indian reservation. In 1889 Powell ‘Landusky, an cld-time miner and pro: pector, better known as “Pike,” made the first discovery of mineral In this section, writes & correspondent of the Helena Independent. In January, 1890; he made the first locatio { the Julla, and the same month located the “Gold Bug. For some time Land y worked ‘alone developing his claims, which showed more than ordinary richness. Assays of the ore proved that tkey carried oro avera ing fato the thousands of dollars per to Landusky in ‘working the claims, and a number of ship. ments of ore were made to the smelters at Falls, Omaha and Peori resulted n handsome turns having been received as 318,000 per fon on picked ore, and on a number of lots that were not assorted the Average was more than $5000 It was not until last spring that much in formation of the rich ores of the Litt] Rockles became known. Then (here was a Tush for the fleld, and now there is a camp known as Landurky, whose future greats may outrival thet of Cripple Creek. Th town is only staried and as yet there arc only @ dczen houses, but others are building and before snow flies no doubt the population of Landusky will be four tim #s much as it is at present.

J. L. Coyle of Henley, says Tidings. reports that William George Parsley found a rich pocket of gold quartz recently on Ash creek, a tributary of Klamath river, about eight miles below Hornbrook, from which they cleaned up $1,500 with & hand mortar In one week A miner named Reeder has mortared out nearly $10.000 during the past eighteen months from a small quartz ledge, which he has located just across the river from Ash_creeck. He calls his claim “Fool's Paradise.” About a year and a hie struck the first pocket and took ont $4,000. Since then he has found bunches which yielded as iuiows: One each of $150, $300, $3,200, $1,790, the last amount being cleaned up by himself and another man in eight days In August. The gold is found in kid- neys, or pockets, lying between the quartz and the porphyry. Writing from Baker City, a correspondent of the Bolse Statesman says that Superinte lent John MeNalley of the Virtue mine has just shipped a $16,000 bar of gold bullion, the result of one month's run at that mine. Toppy Johuson, superintendent of the Col- umbian mine, located two and a half miles from the Virtue, states they now have 100 tons of cre on hand that will average $21 per ton. Their mine s in splendid condition, but, as they have no mill, work has been suspended for the present. The White Swan is a good property and has produced con- siderable bullion during the past two years, but, owing to litigation, it has been closed down for nearly six months, The Virtue is all right. They run day and night and employ sevenly men. Just now they are get- ting in their winter's supply of wood, and it is the intention to run the year round. NEBRASKA.
