appearance. But appearances are not
sufficient. What the miners and the com

chance TO obtain them. II the ores are
rebellious, the lodges irregular, and ten
dollars worth Of work is to be expended
for five dollars worth of results, the
sooner we know il the better. But the
fact is that in Blue Hill the lodges are
very regular, aud of great amplitude. If
the ores are at all tractable, this region
now opens a splendid and paying field to
the many men who ara wasting their
time in moody idleness.
From ELY.-The stage of Hatch &
Kiplinger arrived last evening from
Phoebe, Ely. From Mr.. X. we learn
that the troubles chronicled in our last
correspondence from there have some
what snbsided. The last excitement We
learn Of is the tearing down Of n house
belonging to Frank Wheeler tblack.) II
occurred on Monday night. 1t seems
that Frank claimed ms a portion of his
survey n lot used by the Phoebe company
as a dump. The company offered to buy
the premises, but no sale was effected.
and Wheeler put up n house on it. Maj
Fitzhugh. the Superintendent of the
mine. then told the men that work wonld
have TO stop on that portion of the claim.
as the house was materially in the way.
The men, il is presumed, preferred to
remove the obstruction rather than be
thrown ont of a job; so on Monday
night, n large crowd gathered on the lot,
and when they left, there was no house
10 mark the spot Of disputed ground.
The new 20-stamp mill will be ready for
operation on or about the 18th o. July.
There is a considerable population at
Phoebe, and q good many constantly ar
irving.
MASONIC FESTIVAL To-DAY.-The Ma

RoBDERY AT TREAsURE.-At an early
hour yesterday morning, the sleeping
room of Mike McCluskey was entered by
a burglar, who rifled his pockets of som
$500 in coin. Suspicion rested on a
mar named Flynn that he was the sue
cessful operator, and from certain CIR
~cumstances, of n very convincing eharac-
ter, he was yesterday arrested. In his
Possession was found all sorts of burgla-
nous implements, from jimmies dow
to skeleton keys. Duplicate keys were
found TO some of the principal offices
and houses in Treasure City, and his
tools, taken all together, showed hat he
was no novice in the art of clandestine
entry upon other mems premises. Flynn
Is the man who was placed on the stand
in the Howard trial, and testified that
Christmas fell on the 26th of December
last year.
A HEAD PUT ON HIM.-A man came
into town late on Wednesday night with
q highly decorated head, which had been
put on at various points of the road lead
ing out of Hamilton. 1t seems that he
was here on a business visit from Eu-
reka, and had made n number of hard
ware purchases at Mott, Fish & Co. s.;
and on leaving town he made other
hardware purchases, and kicked up a
row with a lot of teamsters, who got
away with him. He then visited n hard
ware establishment in the lower part of
low and made further purchases of
liquid iron. Here he got into two fights,
spd the job, so artistically commenced
hy the Transfers, was finished by the
parties he last picked up. Those who
saw him say that his frontispiece looked
IKE a highly-colored map of Virginia
during the war.
MINING SALE AT PNTo.-Charley Han
son has sold all his mining interest in
ilnto for $50, 900 gold coin. He is now
IN Virginia, where the money is to be
