CHERRY CREEK,- From Harley Fay,
who has just returned from Cherry Creek,
We learn some particulars respecting the
condition of affairs at that new mining
camp. The population of the place will
average about 100 souls; the departures
about equal the arrivals. There is but
one mine being worked to any consider
able extent, and that is the Exchecquer
mine, which has been bonded to Hoff-
man, formerly Superintendent of the
Meadow Valley mine. and his associates,
who express great confidence in its iu-
tnre value and permanency. There are
several other mines in the district which
show good ore in limited quantities, but
the owners prefer to hold them in wait
for purchasers to entering upon active
Development. Purchasers, however, are
not easily found nowadays for mining
property where only surface showing
can be made There is no lack of mill
facilities for working the ore OF the dis
trict should it be found in quantities, as
Cherry Creek is only about three miles
north of the old Egan District, where
there are two mills now lying idle. Mr..
Fay's opinion is that it will be some
time before the Cherry Creek mines will
rival those of Ely Mining District.
= RuMoRED CONSOLIDATION. 1t was ru-
( mored on the streets yesterday that a
consolidation had taken place between
the Hermes, Pioche-Phenix and Ken
lucky mines, by their respective compa-
MES, at San Francisco. 1t was also
stated that this consolidation had de-
stroyed all prospects of compromise
between the Raymond d Ely and Hermes
companies, and that the new trial granted
In the District Court would be hurried
up now with all possible speed. If there
is to be another trial the prayer of the
camp is that it be had as speedily as pos
sbe, as the doubt and uncertainty in
which we are now involved have all the
asonies of lingering death for the bust,
hess interests of the place. 4
Run Down BY HoRsEMAN Some
days ago man was passing quietly
through Lacour street, when his atten.
ton was drawn to a man on horse
coming at a break-neck speed. The foot.
man undertook to get ont of the way,
but was not quite quick enough, and was
struck by the passing horse and violently
thrown to the ground. The man was
considerably bruised, but luckily escaped
WIN his life. 1t seems that the rider
haa mounted the horse with nothing but
natter on his head, and of course haG
no proper control over the animal. Sucf
oafeiessness will some day lead to serious
r tes1ts. man came near losing hi'
"'e oy 1t the other day.
FRUIT FROM UTAH.--Our market i.
now being pretty well supplied with frui
from the southern settlements of Utah
oat so far the quality has been very infe

here. Fifty cents dozen for small
