The MERCANTILE LOTTERY DRAW
ISG.-For the benefit Of the numerous
interested ticket holders IN this sec
ton we give the following from the
San Francisco Chronicle: 1.-The ar
rangements for the drawing, next
Monday, are completed, so far rs the
mere mechanism is concerned, but n
good deal remains to be done Of very
important nature, as regards the ap-
pointment Of the supervisory COM
mittee and of the persons through
whose hands the tickets are to pass in
leaving the wheels. The two men who
designed the wheels will turn and
manage them. Six boys and girls,
from the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asy-
lum will relieve one another i'll couples
in taking the tickets out of the wheels.
Each child will have its arms bare up
to the shoulder to prevent the posi-
bility Of the concealment of a ticket.
One will stand at each wheel, plunge
i'm his or her arm and seize a ticket; n
man will be appointed to see that only
one ticket ut a time Is seized. As soon
rs he Is satisfied, the word All ight!'
will be given. The children will draw
out the tickets and hold them above
their heads. Two men, appointed for
the purpose will then take the tickets,
call the number to another MAJ sta
toned above them in the gallery, and
he will display it in conspicuous
figures upon the front of the gallery,
so that all in the building will be able
to see 1t. This process will be gone
through until oil the six hundred and
twenty-eight prize tickets shall have
been taken out Of the smaller wheel.
If this should happen in the night time,
the lights will then be turned down,
the band will play slow music, and
the remaining crowd will be provided
with Grape hat bands, after which they
will be expected to retire in an orderly
manner to their homes, congratnlating
one another OH the fact that they have
undoubtedly benefited q noble insti-
tution.' The man who is going to win
the 800, 900 prize gives notice that he
Is not going to negotiate loans there
with to the extent Of n single cent.
He. says It Is very probable that he Will
not be at home next day and per-
haps for several days afterward. His
relations are particularly requested to
take notice Of the above facts, and also
that no number Of strawberry marks
on left arms will be sufficient TO con-
vince him of the identity Of 4 long
lost BROTHER or any other relation"
AGooD MINE.-The Buckeye mine,
near Silver City, is lying idle just at
present, but the owners Of it will
doubtless soon have 1t working again.
1t Is situated in Long Ravine, about
three-quarters Of mile east Of Silver,
and is essentially q gold mine, contain
ing little or no silver in the ore. The
lease Of Messrs. Dunn & Sewell, who
have been working it with good profit,
supplying the Atlantic mill for the
past three months, expired last Mon
day. The mine Is owned by n COM
pany in San Francisco. They put an
Injunction upon the working Of the
mine OH the 18th inst, but the lessees
obtained q dissolution of the ~injunc-
ton, with $500 damages for three
DAYS stoppage Of their work, calculat-
Ing their regular profits at 5000 per
day. There Is plenty Of excellent pay
ing ore in the mine, and it Is q pity 1t
should be allowed to lie still.
SIDEWALK NEEpED.-The Chollar-
Potosi Company, at Virginia, in max
ing the contemplated improvements to
their property on South c street, re-
moving the old buildings in front OF
their office, etc, saw tit to remove a
long section of sidewalk also. They
did this several weeks ago, and have
never taken the trouble to replace 1t.
Although not much of a sidewalk, yet
IL was all there was, and would be con-
sidered pretty good just about the pres
ent time. We hope the Company will
have a due regard for the boots oftheir
fellow citizens, and at least be kind
enough to lay down n few planks across
that muddy place, even If they do not
care to put down a permanent side-
walk at present. The blessing Of the
ladies who have to foot it along there
will be ample reward.
WATER SUPPLY. - The Enterprise
says: ave are informed that the
Gold Hill and Virginia Water Com
pany have just tapped q vein Of about
two inches Of water in n Of their
tunnels OH the Ophir grade. Several
inches are still flowing from the Cedar
Hill tunnel; and in q new tunnel
which Is being run on the north side
Of Cedar Hill, q considerable distance
above Halls Laundry, they have good
indications of finding a large stream.
Although the tunnel is in but forty
feet, water Is dropping very freely
from its roof and sides. The fall of
snow day before yesterday will add
more than anything else to Il water
supply; it Is the best water-strike that
could have been made, and 1t came
when very badly needed"
TASES.-We are mIormeu py Deputy
County Treasurer Edwards that tax
payers are rather slow paying up. On
the 10Th of November the aforesaid
taxes will be delinquent, and then ten
per cent. will be added. Paying those
dues should not be put off until the last
few days, or especially the last day, as
the chances are that some may fall
short in time and not be deuce-high for
a chance to pay them, even If they
have the money.
INDEFINITELY POSTPONED. = The
match base ball game between the Sill
yer Star Club, Of Carson, and the En-
terprise Club, of Virginia, Is postponed
until suitable weather.
