the vicinity Of the above named district,
Dry Creek country, as we learn from
Nick Lawless, who has just returned to
this city for supplies. A Chica~9 party
vas at Clifton last week, looking for
mines in which to invest, but the figures
we're too high-$50, 900 being asked for
mines not vet opened. A large ledge
has recently been discovered which is
traeeahle on the surface for n mile and
a half. the ore being of good and uniform
onality from one end of the groupings to
fhe other. The famous gold ledge, To-
Gated some time since, is said to be very
rich. a pan of the decomposed quartz,
taken from almost any portion of the
ledge. welded from % to 80 cents. The
cold ledge is in granite country rock, but
has a cap of quartzite. Most of the
old locations are held by Mormons living
in the vicinity of Deep Creek Valley,
who will neither work nor sell them.
FAILED To CoNsEcT.-A little tea party
gathered at the residence of a friend of
ours, a few evenings since, when the old
man, Just after dark, started down town,
telling his wife and the other ladies
present that he would soon return with
wine and cards, so that they could amuse
and enjoy themselves. Falling in with
some Jolly good fellows down town.
he got full and did not return for several
hours. Reaching his residence and hear
ing the gay laughter of the ladies' in the
house, he concluded he was not ia con-
dition to entertain them as he would
wish, and would cool off awhile before
going into their presence. He bethonght
him of a small building in the rear, a
COSY retreat, where after due preparation
he seated himself to---rest, and dropped
off to sleep. The party broke up at
midnight, but, before dispensing, the old
man was found in his new lodgings-and
will never hear the last of it.
EoAN SHUT DowN.-We regret to learn
that the splendid new 90 stamp mill of
the Social and Steptoe Mining Company,
at Egan Canyon, has proved a failure
or rather that the mill, by its present
process of working, can not make the
rock pay, and that the mine has been
closed, the mill cleaned up and opera
tons will be suspended for the present.
This will throw nearly one hundred men
out Of employment, most of whom are
expected to arrive here OF Saturday.
1t is represented to AS that the ore of
the Social and Steptoe mine IS rapidly
passing into sulpburets, and that the
mill will have to change to dry crush
ing, and heavier machinery be procured
for hosting. This will require several
months time, and in the interim the
camp will take a nap.
Acknowledging to the rain and
mud last evening, the Atheneum was not
as well filled as on the night previous,
but those in attendance enjoyed The
Honeymoon hugely. This evening Car
RE Carter will appear in her great char
acter of Camille, in the beautiful 5-act
drama of that name. This will proba-
bly, be the last opportunity our play
goers will have for some time to see the
legitimate well represented, and, besides
this fact, the Carriers deserve a crowded
house for the pleasure they have afforded
our people.
RsGIsrERi-This Is the last day in
whioh to register for the city election to-
morrow week. We learn that a number
of persons unfamiliar with the law. are
laboring under the impression that a
poll tax receipt is all that is required to
entitle them TO vote. 1t is necessary
that every man shonld present his poll
tax receipt at the office of the Justice of
the Peace in the Township in which such
person resides, subscribe to the oath and
have his nnme placed upon the registry
book-otherwise be can not vote.
TmFoRD's LEoTuRE. Judge Frank
Tilford will, on Tuesday evening next,
deliver the fourth of the course of lee
lures for the benefit of the public schools
of Hamilton, on the interesting subject:
"Reminiscences of Hugh c. Murray,
James A. McDoueal, and David G. Brod-
erick, of California. All the gentlemen
named were men of mark, with whose
lives Judge Tilford is familiar. and the
address can not be otherwise than inter-
esting to all who have lived in California.
SOMETHING NEw.-When Carter an
nounced from the stage, "Wednesday
evening. that The Honeymoon would
be presented the next evening, a married
man in the audience, surrounded by a
number OF bachelor companions, re-
marked: Well. III bring nay wife to see
that; it'll be something new to he"-be-
aus she has never seen a honeymoon!
DIAMOND DRILL.-This institution is
at present the wonder of the day. The
drill has reached the depth of so feet in
the Montgomery mine-haying made 81
feet yesterday. The bit used in the
present instance is q! inches in diane
ter, and the core Of last evening was
white spar.
SEWER PARK.-We learn that about
so, 900 in coin was distributed among
the boys at Silver Park last Saturday,

EUREKA.-A gentleman from Eureka
informs us that the smelling works of
that district are very successful in their
operations, and the mines are develop
ing beyond all expectation.
KERN.-This district is becoming the
scene of great activity, and the mines
are looking well. The Mother Lead
turns out to be a ledge of great richness
and enormous size.

western slope of White Pine mountain,
was totally destroyed by fire day before
yesterday.
LAST CALL.-The registry books close
