Pahranagat.—Mr. J. H. Phillips, who left the above place for this, on or about the 10th instant, informs us that the mining prospects of the Pahranagat Lake Mining District, never looked so fair as during this summer. The miners are all working in earnest, and as they go down upon their numerous ledges, find them well-defined and immensely rich. There are three mills now ready for operation. Mr. P. says that within the last year sales of mines have been made in that district to New York capitalists, amounting to over five millions of dollars. We are glad to hear such a favorable report from a locality which, two years ago, was uninhabited and almost unknown. Mr. Phillips started back on Thursday, and took his own and the family of J. D. Gorin, Esq.
