ceiyed by friend in this city from his brother
in Eureka, Nevada, we gather few items Of
news from that section Of the country. Speak

is entirely dead-cause, smallpox. The mine
and mill owners will not permit the men to
come to town, and of course there is very lit
tie money in circulation, although there are
more men at work than there were when
came here. Three new furnaces have been
started, since my arrival, in each of the three
mills that are now running-the Richmond,
Consolidated and Phenix-and one crushing
mill is about ready to start, with another in
prospect. George McAneny does not know
yet whot be is going to do, but / have no doubt
but that the Jackson furnace, of which he IL
Superintendent, will start up in a month or
two. This camp is taking out more money. &C.

weather has prevented the roads from improv-

have no idea that they will be in any better con-
dition for several weeks to come. The Gen.

take any hasty action, on account of the bill
pending in Congress to postpone the elections,

STILL A MYsTERY.-The Oregon Herlld of
March I'd states that letter had been received
at that office denying the statement that the
body recently sold at auction in Portland was
that Of Johnny Clark. who was hung By the
vigilantes in Boise City about six years ago.
The writer of the letter states that Clark's
body was exhumed and shipped to Portland
and that 1t was taken from there to California,
where it was inferred in cemetery near San
Jose. If the Herald correspondent states the
truth the "dead secret" 10 still shrouded 10
mystery, and there is but little chance of iden.
tifying the remains. The Portland police have
"nut to crack" that will require all their
ingenuity to accomplish.

Cor HIS MAN.-Len Harris, Deputy
Sheriff from California. went up to Portland.
Oregon, short time ago. armed with requ-
sition from the Governor for the extradition of
one Frank Anderson. who is under indictment
for the killing of man named Quigley in Cal

assistance of the Chief of Police, he nipprd
bis man and locked him up in Jail. Anderson
friends, to the number Of fifty or a hundred,
surrounded the Jail at night determined to
rescue him, and it required the whole police
force to prevent them from accomplishing their
object. Attorneys were then employed and
writ of habeas corpus procured, which was
tried before Judge Upton. but he remanded
the prisoner to the custody Of the agent deputed
by the Governor OF California TO receive him,
and Harris with his prisoner took passage on
q steamer for San Francisco.
