MINERAL HILL AND RAILROAD DIS
rRIoTs.-We yesterday met Mr.. Powell,
who is direct from the above section.
He thinks Mineral Hill is the livehest
little camp he has seen in the eastern
part of the State, but does not appear to
think so well Of Railroad District. At
Mineral Hill there is an abundance OF
good ore in sight to run one or " mills
for a year OF more to come. A lO-stanp
mill. connected with which is a Stete-
feldt furnace, is now in course OF con-
struction and will be ready 10 steam up
about the LIST Of August. There are
about 400 men in the District, and the
greater part Of them think that they
have the world by the heels. At Bullion
CITY, Railroad District, there are only
about 100 men, and the furnace erected
there some time ago by Mr.. Rogers, OF
~Shermantown, has proven an entire
failure. The presence OF anthony, In
large quantities, intsrferes with the re-
duction of the ores by any process com
monty in use. The GRE Is also low
orade-much Of it not carrying above
SIT in silver to the tun.
IscIDEsT IN A EvREKA CouRT.-A
few days ago, q case was being tried in
the Justices Court at Eureka, TO enforce
the payment OF a promissory note.
Judge G., who by the way Is a heavy
miner, and never appears in court, ex-
cept it is to help q friend through the
meshes of the law, was conducting the
plaintiffs side of the case, and Judge
d., O regular practitioner, was managing
the defense. After the evidence had all
been submitted, and while Judge D., with
zeal, was presenting the defendants
side Of the cause he took occasion to
complain that the opposing counsel had
unduly annoyed him and his client by
the jealous manner in which the case
had been prosecuted. Why, / don't get
n cent for this CASE interrupted Judge
G.. NO quickly responded Judge D.;
You try cases for nothing and thus
cheat good lawyers out of their fees.
= WE'LL continued Judge c., i don't
see what you are getting mad about; it
dose nj interfere with you.
FrRsr CAPTURE FOR FnAScE.-Lazard,
on Treasure Hill, is a Jealous French
man, and his sympathies in the impend-
ing war are all for his native land. He
keeps a saloon, and has much to say
about the yalor of his countrymen. A
few nights ago some mischieyous fellows
threw the Prussinn flag TO the breeze,
from the flagstaff s~urmounting his saloon.
This greatly enraged our friend Lazard,
who hastened to capture the offensive
bunting; and, placing il under his feet,
- a \. .l...la q. 1auu ffpaa Than xya
have been writing this item-meanwhile,
offering to fight all the Teutons in White
Pine. We note that a gentleman OF San
Francisco offers a reward of $500 for the
first Prussian flag captured by a French
man. Lazard is certainly entitled to the
SOAP
PAINFUL AocIDKST.-Yesterday morn
ing, G. W. Crawford, employed about
the Rathburn furnace. accidentally
slipped the right foot into a vat of molt-
en- bullion, and Of course was badly
burnt. He wore a shoe, and the liquid
metal therefore had no difficulty in pen
etrating the flesh, which. in places, was
scared almost to the bone. DR.. Nc
Means was called 10 see the unfortunate
man, and from him we learn that 1t will
probably not be necessary 10 amputate
the limb. During the afternoon h
injured man WAS conveyed to the County
Hospital.
Monk ABOUT THE SHoorIso IN CAVE
yALI.EY.-we have received a letter CIV
ing additional particulars concerning
the late shooting in Cave Valley. 1t
seems that we were wrong in stating that
one of the teamsters were killed. Pear
son was shot in the back OF the neck,
though not dangerously wounded. G.
G.. Ames was shot In the side, and 1t is
feared his wound will prove fatal. Eli
iah Ingram il the name of the man who
did the shooting. Ingram was followed
and captured BY Deputy Sheriff Turner,
of Nye county.
ARREsIs.-Two OF the town,
Maggie Irwin and Helena Brown, to-
eether with Constable John Martin, were
arrested last evening, ut the instance of
Manuel Champion and Thomas Stevens,
charged with appropriating $40, the
money of plaintiffs. We did not hear
the evidence, but infer that il was pretty
conclusive, inasmuch as the parties were
committed to jail in default of $1,000
bail each.
An ERRoR.-Ws were in eiror yester-
LAY in saying that no race vas made with
ahe boys who came over from Sherman
fown. As VIC now understand II, Travis
Chamber of Commerce will run Wild
Bill for 81, 200 aside, in three weeks
from last Sunday. The forfeit money is
all up, and both horses are in active
training.
CLOSED UP.-In consequence OF fall
nres elsewhere. the clothing establishment
of Dahlman Bros. in this city was yes
terday closed up by Deputy U. s. Marshal
Knerr. 1t Is understood that the failure
il not chargable to the house here, but
owing TO losses sustained by the Virginia
City house and elsewhere.
HUso JuRY.-The jury in the case OF
Bigiow and King, acquitted the latter,
and failed to agree as TO the former.
The point Of difference. We understand,
related to the value of the ore appro-
priated. We presume the testimony
was conflicting ms to whether the oifense
constituted grand or petit larceny.
Coon YIELp.-Lately, the proprietors
of the PlOrmont mine, Piermont District,
