MINERVA MINE.

The splendid and new hosting works Of
the Minerva mine, in Gold, Hill, were
started up yesterday afternoon for the first
time. The Superintendent, Robert APP
pie, ESQ.,, had invited a number of his
friends to be present, and about fifty
availed themselves of the invitation. The
engine is of seventy-five horse power,
made by Devoe & Dinsmore, and is amost
splendid piece of workmanship. 1t is
powerful enough, the frame work, cables,
cars, and other appendages being proper
toned, to raise ton of ore at each hoist
ing, from any depth to which the company
may sink its shaft. There are several new
inventions, and improvements on old ones,
connected with these hosting works
which it would be well for miners and
Superintendents generally to 60 and ex-
anime. We shall give more detailed &C.
count of this mine in few days; and
also of its next neighbor, the Alpha,
which is under the management of the
same energetic and irrepressible Superin-
tendent, Mr.. Apple.

AGAINST TIME"

Yesterday the famous trottins stallion
Patchen went a match AGAINST time"
and won it. So our afternoon dispatch
informed us, and so we announced it, as
was our duty as faithful journalist. The
time was excellent; it was-well, we We
forgotten what it was. We are neither
wise nor enthusiastic in what pertains to
"hoss." The quadruped whom the editor
of the daily paper most resembles, is the
aged and respectable steed, who daily
walks his UNMARRIED and laborious round,
reducing in the creaking, crunching mill
the aromatic tan-bark. The Bohemian of
the literary weekly, who in one-fourth of
any one day of the seven can sling his
quGatam sef. of ink for his light hebdom-
adal, may watch for and seize the happy
moment when the spirit moves. But not
so he of the inevitable, punctual, and in
exorable daily. Each day ,Inpeayied as
the sum-" unwearied" is gooO each
day those iron "hooks" project naked,
sharp and hungry from the wall; and the
voice of the foreman crying " copy, sir !"
is a demand which brooks not denial.
Each day those columns must be filed ;
each day the grist of tan-bark must be
ground. When popular excitement wakes
high and warm over questions of National
politics or local turmoils, the whole public
are uncunsciously, but most effectually,
playing into the hand of the talented ink
singer. A few ideas mot necessarily
Originally, unsparingly diluted from the
full and neyer-failins fountain of the YER
nacular, flow glibly from his facile pen.
and the sheets of manuscript fall thick
around the legs of his tripod, until the
foreman halloos "hold, enough !" and
L" the crafts and assaults of the deril" are
de6ed. Big thing! Easy billet" In
times like those the editor of the daily is q
happy man. He walks with leisure gait
amid the scenes where busy men do con-
gregate; he smokes the balmy pipe Of
peace, and quaffs the lager beer Of ease.
His mind is free from care, because the
hooks are full of copy. Such are halcyon
days; but they do not last forever. There
are times when there is no topic of general
interest times of general stagnation of the
public mind times when the theme I" of
the editorial can not be plucked from the
public lip, or found floating loose upon
the streets and highways; when it must
be manufactured in the sanctum, and coin
ed from the editorial cocoa-nut. These
are the times that try the editorial soul,
rack the brain, and irritase the scalp to the
badness of the biliard-ball. These are
the times when the footstep of the foreman
is the sound of doom, and the cry of
"copy" is screech from Pandemonium.
Then it Is that the unhappy slave of the
tripod seizes his pen in fierce despair and
sings his ink in direst desperation. That
is what, in the parlance Of the fraternity,
is termed writing against time" That
is what we have been doing for the last
ten minutes. Ora pro sobis

Guns AT MIDNIoHT. - About twelve
o'clock last night. our local battery, Fort
Homestead, belched forth an unusual
noise, considering the time, and which
startled most of the denizans of our usu-
ally sober and quiet town from their slum-
bers. Many of them arose, dressed them
selves, and went forth into the street to
inquire the cause-not knowing but that
Piutes were making raid into the neigh
borhood, led on, perchance, by that noble
and immortalized brave, the strategic "Jo-
Sephus." who figured so conspicuously
with Captain Wallace in his Piute hunt at
Walker Lake not long since. But our
people were disappointed in their surmise.
"RIcHNoND AND PETERSBURG BOTH
TAKEN THAT'S whats the matter. The
news of this great event was received at
our Office in the early part of the evening,
but there was not enough of it to get out
an extra. so we told few Of our friends
of the glorious event. as it was too good to
keep to ourselves, and they got on pa
triotic rampage, and fired national sa-
lutte at midnight in honor of the cheering
and bully news.

NEVADA TROOPS.

We have seen letter from Lieut.. Col.
Milo George, dated recently at Camp
Douglas. Col. George is now commander
of the military forces at Camp Douglas,
and head officer of the District of Utah.
It will be remembered that Col. George
was resident of Gold Hill, and raised
his company in our town. He is an
honor to our burg, and a credit to the
service and profession he has adopted.
We are glad to note his promotion, and
expect for him a Brigadier's commission
before his term of muster expires. Col.
George writes that the officers and men
were delighted exceedingly on learning OF
the passage of the soldiers bounty bill ;
remarking that he was confident frou
what the Governor said to him, that there
would be no veto on this. There was,
but it passed and became law notwith-
standing.l 1t appears that the Mormons
are subsiding from their former sentiments
of hostility to the Government OF this little
Nation. Col. George mentions an invita-
ton TO attend grand Mormon levee, had
especially for the honor Of the officers OF

coNPR0MISE.

We yesterday wrote and published an
article on the subject of " Consolidation" "
and suggested to the managers and stock
holders of the almost endless number Of
mining claims out at American Flat, to
adopt some measures to consolidate their
forces and means in order the better to
prospect and deyelope their claims on the
Comstock ledges We received the Aurora
Union this morning. and observe that our
contemporary takes similar view of this
subject to our own, and gives similar ad-
vice to the miners in that locality. The
Union says: One of the greatest injuries
to all quartz mining localities is the frit-
tering away of labor and capital upon
hundreds of claims, and properly develop
ing none. Virginia District has suffered
greatly from this same cause-hundreds Of
thousands having been squandered there
on wild cat to give it fictitious value
in the market for the benefit of Jay
hawkers" and " stock-Sharks." But then
men were found with sufficient faith in the
wealth and permanency of the genuine
lodges of that district TO use their capital
for the development of the " Comstock,
and other claims on that famous lode,
which have since proved rich almost be-
yond conception, and are now pouring,
daily, into the veins of commerce, the
precious metals by the ton. Judicious
investments and well directed labor have
been richly rewarded, while wild ca"
which, under the skillful management Of
sharpers, once ranked as the equal of good
mines in the market, is not now worth
the stock it is printed on, and only serves
to remind the unfortunate holder of other
mems rascality and his own folly. Let
US profit by the experience Of others, and
concentrate labor enough on a few good
lodges to develop them thoroughly, and
We will thus add another great tributary
70 the river of gold and silver, now flow
ing from the Pacific Coast into the chan
nels of commerce in every quarter Of the
globe. Let our mines be thoroughly de-
veloped, at a depth of Ave hundred feet,
and we believe they will then compare
favorably in wealth with those of any
other district in the State.

MARKET AND MONEY MATTERS
IN NEW YORK.

The Commercials money article says the
real cause of the decentralization is the ut
ter uncertainty about the future premium
on gold. No one dares venture an opin-
ion as to what its future price ought to
be, OF to W hat extent it should be affected
by peace. None can give an intelligent
reason for the extremeness of the late de-
cline. The same paper, in its review Of
the dry goods trade, says the trade in cot
ton goods has been more demoralized du-
ring the week than any other branch of
business. The uncertainty about the
value Of cotton is the principal cause of
this difference. Added to this, there has
been heavy decline in gold, which af-
fects the market for cotton fabrics equally
with all other markets. Jobbers continue
to sell large amounts of goods below the
prices asked BY commission houses. From
a conviction that it is hopeless to expect
an early recovery of the value of prints,
they are jobbed at 10 to Id per cent. be-
low the agents price. The same is true
of delaines and bleached goods. The
trade in wooden goods, though much less
deranged than the trade in cotton goods,
isparalyzed by the decline in gold. All
goods in which cotton is used are specially
depressed. There is at present differ
ence, varying from ten to twenty-five per
cent, between buyers and sellers on WOOL
len goods. The Express says the failures
during the week have not been so numer-
Gus as was generally expected.
