THE DANEY MINE.-Mr. 7. jeff.
McClelland, the old foremano of the I'M
lorial mine, and formerly n of our
Town Trustees, has been appointed
Superintendent of the Daney mine,
down in Spring Valley, and entered
upon his duties last Saturday. We
have nothing to say against the gen.
tlemen who have heretofore had charge
of the Daney, but knowing MIR. Nc
Clelland rs we'll rs we do, we have no
hcsitancy in predicting that the Daney
will come out all right yet with such q
man as Mr.. McClelland ut the wheel as
pilot. The Daney has had its misfor-
tunes Of fire and Hood to contend with
for years, but 1t Is now OH the right
road to become what its pe~rsevering
owners have wished fora dividend
paying mine. There are now on the
premises excellent hosting works,
with an engine for pumping purposes
Of l20Lhorse power, aud an engine OF
35-horse power for hosting purposes.
The mining shaft Is now down 80 feet,
from which level a drift will reach the
ledge at a distance Of 30 feet-liO feet
OF which Is already completed, leaving
only 100 feet to excavate, but through
hard granite, which Mr.. McClelland
informs us will be accomplished i'll
forty days. When the ledge Is cut,
the mill will start up on good-paying
ore, and stockholders may expect to
receive back some Of the many assess
ments to which they have so good
naturally submitted for years past.
In the mill there Is an engine of 10
horse power, with q battery Of fifteen
stamps, the latest improved pans, set
tiers, and everything complete. In a
few months time Daney stock will
occupy a more prominent figure on the
stock list than some Others with far
greater pretensions. The ledge Of the
Daney, although several miles of,
bears a great similarity, in vein mat
ter, walls, northerly and southerly
directions, to the famous Comstock.
DIRECT FROM Missouri George
Adams, an old-time miner in Gold
Hill, arrived here yesterday morning,
direct from Howard county, on the
Missouri river, where he has been rus
~ticating fer the last six months. in
hopes that he might be contented III
ssold Pike :" but he failed to see 1t,
and saws that to an old Pacific coast
miner he believes there is no place like
old Washoe-"glory to old Washoe."
Mr.. Adams says that while he was in
Missouri, from October to April, in 4
farming section, it was the longest six
months he w experienced in his life,
or ever hopes TO pass through again.
There Is plenty to eat and to drink in
Missouri, but money (all paper money!
Is scarce, and people have such a slow,
devil-may-care, and lazy style about
them that in the latter habit they n
discount him or any other man he ever
saw outside of that State. We believe
George Is going to stay in this land OF
sagebrush and silver bricks.
COMPLIMENTARY SKATING SoIREE.-
Professor c. A. Gould, the well known
and popular champion skater, will

personations Of MADAME Ia Grecian,"
combining fancy and scientific skating.
Lord Dundreary on castors will also
glide so swiftly slow" AS it IL prob
ABLY the Professors last appearance
here, we hope to see his many friends
do him justice, and give him a rouser.

Sunday, q Christian festival observed
particularly by the Catholics. We
need not tell our readers that it is in
commemoration of our Savior's tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem, when
the multitude strewed palm branches
In the way. Its the custom in Catho-
lie churches to bless branches Of ever
greens where palms cannot be obtained,

effective prospecting operations at the
lower levels of the mine.
