Departures.


WHITE PISE IrENs.-John White, I'M
der date Of February 18th, writes us the
following items from Treasure City:
at is very healthy here at present ; no
smallpox in this town. Joe Coburn
has arrived and is the lion Of the dis
trict. McGinley's troupe give a melo-
deou performance every evening, except
those when the hurdy-gurdys wan the
hall /; they, having a lease, have the
preference. Property continues to ad-
vance in price. Main street, Treasure
City, is crowded every day with brokers
aud business men. Billy Dolman wants
me to state there is no smallpox in this
town I really don't know of II case. II
turns out that my informant, DR.. Boone,
was mistaken in the symptoms Of the
case | reported to you excuse haste.
If any cutting, shooting or other scrape
occurs here will let you know. The
town is exceedingly quiet, considering,
etc. There is no %calaboOse here yet.
"Grecny," who played Robert Apple,
escaped from the constable. Bob says
he has been six weeks buying nine lots,
aud hasn't room for his lOxl2 house
yet. Hard, amt it? [P. 81 have
Just seen DR.. Boone, and ho insists it
was a case Of smallpox; it was n woman
who had it. The towns Of Treasure
City, Hamilton and Shermnntown have
commenced suit against nil squatters
and parties who occupy town lots and
who cannot show that they derived title
from the party who, under the State
law, surveyed and located the aforesaid
town lots. The case, of course, will be
tried in Austin, and the citizens Of this
burg'hold Il meeting this afternoon, in

quircs. You are var that none OF the
towns in this district are Incorporated"
Observation-Disclosures LET Our. - Tho
eighteen miners who have been shut
down in the mining depths developed
by the Tmpcrial-Empire shaft, were let
out 1t noon to-day. They looked n hit
tie blcached, but bore no appearance
OF having suffered much from their long
confinement. Indeed, some Of them
even looked fatter. They had good
sleeping accommodations, the best Of
eating and drinking, and extra pay,
therefore stood the little iuconveni-
encrS of the occasion like philosophers.
The ~at is nov let out Of the bag and
we arc able 10 officially state tho true
condition of affairs at the lower levels,
instead Of giving contrnband (but none
the less correct) Information rs hereto
fore. The 1000 foot station drift has
penetrated the ledge about fifteen feet,
e]ncounteriug q body Of barren white
quartz carrying 40 streaks of ore at all.
Il was expected to cut the good streak
Of pay ore found mex the east clay
wall NJ tho 900 foot level, but it certain
lv has not done it thus far, although it
might be still Just ahead-who knows?
The l,l00-foot or lower station drift is
through the clay wall and n few feet
into the outskirts of the ledge, cncoun-
tering hard porphyry, cement and quartz,
but no ore whatever, and but
little water. A small increase Of water
flows from the l ,000-foot station. Thus
ends this great mining speculative mys-
tiicatiOn on the part Of the Trustees.
In view Of the fact that the stock took Il
big .umLlc from the very day the men
were shut down in the mine, we hardly
think the operation worked rs it WAS
expected to. We hope that old dodge
has now been played for the last time.
SUDDEN Cure OF S~uALL-pox. - Ed.
Wright sends us II note to-day from the
imper,a'- Empire works which reads rs
follows "Our carman, ]. D. Wyrick,
was round here this morning entirely
recovered from the smallpox. You can
set this down rs the quickest cure on
record. There are some very bad cases
of smqA-stOeks round here, but no cases
of smallpox" Edward, me boy, we
are right glad to record the fact that J.
D. Wyrick got well so soon. He must
have used some pretty effectual medl-
cinh. What doctor did he have? We
are also glad to hear that there are "no
bad cases of smallpox about your
works. The carman, Jacob Wynck,"
of whom we made mention yesterday
rs having the smallpox, must therefore
have gone to the ~pest-housc, most prob
ably. Let's hear from you again, Ed
ward.
FRANK HgSDERsoY.-Captain Charley
Warner, the Virginia agent OF the Pa
cife Union Express Company, received
n telegram last evening from Frank
Henderson, now at Austin, stating that
he was not dead at NIL, but rapidly re-
covering from his recent very severe at
tack of the small pox. Glad to hear 1t.
Minnie ACCIDENTAL miner passing
from one side to the other Of the SHAFT

mine, last evening, had his head severe

cage. DR.. Hall dressed his wounds.
