EUREKA CORRESPONDENCE.


EUREKA, June IL, 1873
We arc inst now enjoying the most delightful
of Summer weather, and many Of our pleasure
loving people have been taking advantage of the
circumstance by picnic parties. There are many
pleasant and shady retreats around about Eu-
reka, we'll suited for such enjoyable occasions
as day among the pines Affords
The termination for the present of the great
mining suit has caused much surprise among our
people. as no one imagined the jury would fail
to agree. Rumors of bribery and tAmpering
with members Of the jury have been rife, and
many declare that as high as 81 900 was paid to
one juryman. Snch was the fidelity with which
they were guarded by Sheriff Sullivan and Capt
Adams that small chance existed 10 confer with
the twelve, and this Circumstance will probably
explain why they could not agree. The advent
of Jas. NJ English in San Francisco has given
rise 10 various cnnjectures Of 4 settlement or
compromise, without another appeal to the
Court but many think the case will 20 to trial
The evil effects Of this snt ON the camp, involy.
ing az 1t does SO much money, and causing such
a decrease in the demand for miners. etc, is
being severely felt here, and all earnestly hope
for . speedy settlement.
The continued success of the Lemon mill

eongratuAtion among all classes As IT illustrates
the fact that the district will produce enough
milling ore to keep twenty stamps in operation
Work on the furnaces here has not been M
vigorously prosecuted as was the case last year
caused principally by the unfortunate litigation
referred to in another part of this letter. but

change and bullion, as Of old, again line the
road To Palisade.
We were favored with a visit from Mr.. Sails
bury and party some days ago They came for
the purpose Of looking at the topography Of the
country. with view looking toward the build.
ing Of the narrow-gaage. All members Of the
party assert positively their intention to build
the road. but are not decided ichea they will
start the same. II certainly looks little strange
that they should be riding over the country with
a roadometcr lashed to the buggy wheels. in
order to ind ont at this late day what route
seems the most practicable. The general i'm
precision about this narrow.gauge scheme agrees
with your published editorial last week, and all
would regard the building of the road matter
for surprise.
