The Officers and Hoard of Directors of thin Company
present the above of twenty rich and valu
able Silver Lodges, compiling twenty-live thousand
feet, wliirh Hi- \ ' oiitidt 1,,1s le-lie\.- . rnl.r tres a proper
ty for profitable silver nooning unsurpassed by any on
the Pacific coast.
This property was select-,d and located by practical
experienced miners, among the first, in North Union
and Mammoth, which are justly regarded among the
best silver minim; district* in the State, on account of
the richness of the ores, the width of thevei«n, the tine
timber oj the uiountaiu, ami the salt hiudns atyl grass
in the valleys.
This Company do not design to set forth statements
that will not be verified, and prefer under-estimating
what they believe the results will prove. Fuel is an
itemot great expense In many of tho districts. The
A Curry, Ophir, Savage, and other celebrated mine* in
Washoe, are paying from fifteen to twenty dollars per
cord for wood.' A twenty stamp mill will consume fif
teen cords of wood per day, at #ls per cord, amounting
io $225 per day. In the Mammoth an I North Union
districts it would be simply thecntting,s4percord,orsoo
per day. There is a larg" saving on this item. In the
c.nsumptionof salt, which is larg ly used in mining
operations, the saving would not be leas than 860 per
nay over many other districts. In these taA» there
is an advantage in cost of runuing U tWehty wtainp mill
in these districts which would make a handsome yearly
profit of Itself
It Is not the intention of the Company to work all this
property at tho present time, but to hold it in reserve
for future disposition, either to form a nai t of it into
other organisations, or to erect other mills, as may l»e
deemed expedient. A twenty stamp mill near a well
selected lode will jwiy a largo dividend on the capibtl
the mnt woiking year, and leave a reserved fund in the
treasury, to be applied to the erection of another mill.
This Company intend «o erect a first-class mill near
the Winnebago lode, which is four and onedialf feet
wide,and is considered one of richest silver ledge*
in Nevada, and will afford an ample supply of ore for a
twenty-stamp mill.
Professar Blatchly, who is a scientific, reliable, and
very cautious gentleman. *avs of this lode :
" This is a strong well-defined vein, showing every
indication of depth and j*rmanertcc. The ore is of
grxil richness, and well diffused throw*himt the rein,
and all the ore will pajr for working JYOM the very sur
face. This is a t*rl valuable mine and can be made to
pay from the beginning.'* A. BLATCHLY,
Mining Kngineer.
It is more than doubtful If Professor Blatchly speaku
in these terms of any other mine in Nevada.
A twenty stamp mill can crush twenty tons per d.-\y j
but say that it crushes 15 tons pel l day*, (choice.
niens from the \\ innebago lode has assayed $1132 per
ton), it is a low estimate to say that it will give an av
erage yield of $l5O per ton, taken as it comes from the
vein. Fifteen tons per day would yield $52V>; the ex
penses of crushing in these districts will not exceed s.'so
per ton, or 8450f0r 15 tons, leaving a net profit of SIBOO
for a working dav, or a monthly profit of over $40,000
for one mill.
This statement may seem large, but it is proven by
the resnlts of other mills in districts lees favorably lo
cated. We confidently believe there is no other invest
ment will pr»y such large returns as silver property,
..hen \vell located, and the mi|ls properly managed.
' The manning dirAttor is ah experienced and practical
silver ore worker in all its details ; he is in the prime of
life, of excellent habits, aud indomitable energy ; he ha*
been long and favorably known to our President, Gov.
Ramsey, and to Mr. Frank Steel, one of the Board of
Directors, and with whose good opinion of Mr Hamil
ton, the Hon. A. W Rondall, First Assistant l'ostma>ter
General, an<! Gov. Farwell, of Wisconsin, also Col. liur
bauk. of Minnesota, fully concur He is one of the dis
coverers of this property and is argely interested in it,
and will certainly take great plide in discharging his
duties promptly and economical , and in such a man
ner as to make the Company a slycess which l>ears his
name

NEW SKIRTS FOR 1865-6
Thg Great Invention of the Age in
HOOP SKIRTS.
J, W. BRADLEY'S New Patent Duplax
Ellipic, or double, Spring Skir.
TIUB INVENTION consists or DLPLEX (or two) KlUp
tic Pure Refined Steel Springs, ingeniously traded tight
lyand firmly together, edge to edge, making the tough
est, most flexible, elastic and durable Spring ever used
They seldom bend or break, like the Single Spring-*, and
consequently preserve their perfect and beautiful Shape
more than twice as long as any single Spring Skirt that
Ever Has or Can be made.
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any Lady wearing the Duplex Ell ptic Skirt
will be experienced particularly in all crowded Assem
blies, Operas, Carriages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews,
Arm Chairs, for Hromatyade and House Dresn as the
Skirt can be folded when in use to occupy a small place
as easily and conveniently as a Silk or Mmdin Dress.
A Lady having enjoyed the Pleasui e, Comfort and Great
Convenience of wearing the Duplex Klliptie teel Spring
Skitt for s| single day will Never afterwards willingly
dispense «#ith their use. For Children, Misses,and Young
Ladies they are superior to all others. •
THE HOOPS are covered with 2 ply double twisted
thread aud will wear twice as long as the Single yarn
covering which is used on all Single Steel Hoop Skirts.
The three bottom rods on evory Skirt are also Double
Steel, and twice or double crfVerdd tft prevent the Coffer
ing from wearing off the rods when dragging down «tair»
stone steps, Ac., Ac., which they are constantly subject
to when in use.
All are made of new and elegant Corded Tapes, and
are the best quality in every part giving to the wearer
the most graceful and perfect Shape possible, and are
unquestionably the lightest, most desirable,comfortable
and economical Skirt ever made.

Presentment of the Grand Jury
In Regard to the Public BulUJk-.

The Grand inquest inquiring In and for the County of
Butler, at February Sessions, 1866, made the fol)6stng
Jury in and for the County of Butler, rec
omm*nd« the CommlMlimwi M old Connty to build »
new Jail an *OOO as practicable, and that the iron fence
around the Court House be cleaned and well painted, and
whatever necessary repairs the Court Hwse may need,
be made W.C.ADAMB,
February 28, 1806. Foreman.
And the Grand Inquest inquiring in and for the County
of llutter. to June sessions. 1866, made the following
presentment, to wit:
The Grand Inquest of theCounty of Butlerooreepect
fully present,
That we examined the Jail of said County, in the Bor
ough of Butler, and And it utterly unfit for the use for
' which it is intended. There are no meant for keeping
separate the male and female Inmates. It is so arranged
that it is impossible to remodel the Jail, so as to effect
any permanent or important change. The Jail Is, be
sides In our opinion, too small and unhealthy, belqf
damp and We, in short, condemn U»e Jail as
worse than useless, by l»eing positively uutifyi as a hah-
Itation for any human being. Ills inhuman to put ami
keep men, much more femalm, to.-UK U.* hole. Attor
neys cannot see and consult with tueir Clients In the
Jail, without great Inconvenience as well as discomfort.
It is, in our judgment, an outrage on decency and hu
manity, and a disgrace to 4 the County. We therefore
earnestly sdvlse and recommend the demolition of the
old Jail and the immediate ere&liqn of a new one. » e
»further indent that the Jail and its surroundings are
well, neatly, and comfortably kept at present by the
Sheriff and his good wife, an Is possible. We further
recommend the Commissioners of the Connty, to have
the Court ll<-use insured as soon as possible, In a sum
approaching as near as may be its original cost, in some
, one 01 more responsible Insurance Companies.
We farther take the present opportunity cf <
onr opinion of the attentive and gentlemanly attention
of our worthy District Atb>rney, W. H. II Middle, Esq.

That has been tried and stood

It contains nothing Irri
tating or injurious to the

effects a permanent cure by
removing the cause of the
