The Elko Chronicle gives a fiattering
account of mining affairs at Mineral Hill.
The Mineral Hill company calculate TO
make run of 100000 from their first
crushing. Ia one shaft ore is being taken
from fve-foot vein worth $500 ton, and
a fourteen-ioot vein, owned by the same
Company, yields ore worth $500 to $500 a
ton. About thirty mines are being worked,
and the prospect is that Mineral Hill will
be one of the richest camps in Nevada. A
ten-stamp mill will be ready to commence
by the lst of August.

To BISHOP PIE Of Poitiers must forever
belong the great glory of having discover
ed q new and absolutely unanswerabe ar
gument in favor of infallibility. Said this
holy, astute, intellectual and learned pre-
late in the midst Of his eompeers in the
Ecumenical Council; 'As st. Peter was
crucifed head downward, thus supporting
the whole weight Of his body on his head,
so Pho Mono, his successor, bears upon
himself the whole weight of the church, he
being It's head. Ergo, he who supports is
infallible, not that which is supported
This wonderful and convincing argument
was received with immense enthusiasm by
the italian and Spanish prelaies. But
there were divers holy fathers from other
countries who looked somewhat glum, in
consequence Of not being able to appreci-
ate this very logical proposition and its Sc
4uence,
