port at 26}, and seems still advancing
This is cheering intelligence, and rem.
dered more so from our knowledge of
the intrinsic value OF the bropertv
owned by them. The telegraph informs
us that. though the excitement attending
the fire at Chicago was intense in San
Francisco. the stock dealers still found
time to do more than a usual amount of
business in stocks. The AKd of the Eth
inst, in quoting from an article which
appeared in the SENTINEL, says that at
no time in the history of the district has
property looked so well on the San
francisco market. Though long delayed.
this appreciation of the actual wor III
of our mining interests is none the less
welcome, and we are gratihed to know
that in the midst of the excitement rem.
resented as existing there, our stocks
have advanced. and are constantly
and steadily crawling upward. Soon
we may hope to see Eureka stocks OF all
kinds attract the attention of specula-
tors they so well deserve. and rival the
famous ones of the Comstock lode.
THREW Up His HAND.-We bite at the
following from the White Pine Ne,rs
with a great deal of reluctance. "Leath-

Eureka Monday morning on foot to com
to Treasure City. Ten miles from Eu-
reka a chunky bandit stepped out into
the road with a horse.plstol in his hand.
and requested Con. to e throw up bis
hands, Sullivan threw up one hand,
and sent the road overseer sprawling in
the alkali dust. He secured the pistol
and told the man to step ont before him
and march for Hamilton. Something
like five miles had been travelled, when
a jack rabbit crossed the road ahead of
the party. Sullivan forgetting all about
his prisoner. blazed away at the rabbit.
Before the echo OF the shot had died
out, the man was a hundred yards or
more away. Con. intends to keep the
horse pistol for luck"
INPRovEMENT.-lmmediately opposite
the Stone Saloon on Main street. Messrs
Joseph Tognini 4 Co., are putting mp an
