old works continue very satisfactory. The
streak in the tracings is fully three feet
wide and assays from $75 to $125.
NEWARK.
Nothing new to report, further than
that the reporter of the San Francisco
Chronicle took telescope view when
he went up in a balloon and didn't see
any ore in sight. The Newark main
shaft is next to the deepest in South
eastern Nevada.
CHIEF EAST EXTENSION.
There has been no particular change
since our last report. Ledge looks
splendid, and continues to improve to
the eastward as drifting progresses on
the 200-foot level.
MAZEPPA.
Commenced shipping ore to the mill
from this mine day before yesterday.
Pulp assays will be given in our next.
A CARD.-As my name is referred to
somewhat prominently in Manager Ma
CURES card, published in the RECORD of
the 18th inst, feel compelled, in JUS
tice to myself, (much as I dislike a
newspaper controversy to set the public
right with regard to one or two of the
statements therein contained. The first
intimation l had of the intended benefit
was on the morning of the 18th inst,
when, picking up the morning paper, l
saw its announcement for that evening.
As I had taken somewhat prominent
part in endeavoring to ameliorate the
unfortunate condition of Mr.. Mexican, it
was natural to suppose, that, had the
matter been actively canvassed among the
ladies and citizens of Phoebe for week
previous, as stated by Mr.. Mcguire, l
should ere this, have heard something
of the matter; and feeling that without
giving Mr.. Mexican friends a little time
to effect the sale of tickets, it would not
realize what they might justly expect,
Immediately, in company with Mr.. Nc
Kean's cousin, and with his own full
sanction, fastened to see Mr.. Mcguire,
to endeavor to obtain some change in
the programme, or to decline the benefit
altogether. Mr.. Mcguire stated to us
that he had spoken to the members of
the company, and they, one and all, de-
clined to give their services, unless their
salaries acre paid. We were willing to
have all actual outlay deducted from the
receipts; but if the salaries had all to be
paid, as usual, mere nothing would
have resulted for Mr.. Mexican; and we
| declined in his name, to receive merely
the name of benefit. In regard to the
| actors all refusing to perform gratis on

! Harry Lorraine, in my house, and in
presence of Mr.. Jno. Pattie, stated to me
that he was never approached by Mr..
Mcguire on the subject, and that he
would have gladly given his services for
such cause. AS to Mr.. Maguires as
sertion that he asked me ito take
charge of the tickets and doors, so that a
printed return could be made of the re-
ceipts of this OCCASION" I have only to
state that he made me no such offer, for
which Mr. Mckean's cousin, who was
present, can vouch,
P. J. II. SMITH.
Mr.. EDITOR: l observed in your issue
of this morning, an article calling atten-
ton to the condition of the Courthouse.
The suggestion was timely made.
have examined the present condition
of the Courthouse, and while find nc
great damage done as yet, T must say,
that unless immediate steps are taken tc
divert the water from running under the
building, the foundation of it will be
weakened and the building greatly en-.
dangered, if not ruined. Nearly all the
draining from the hillside, back of the
Courthouse, runs under the building, and
the absence Of any suitable bitches around
it, and the accumulation of dirt which
has been permitted to gather about the
walls, keeps the foundation constantly
soaked with moisture. The earth upor
which the building stands is of such t
character that it should be kept dry. and
if so kept the building will not settle
The water pipes in front have been Gu
off, thus pouring the drainage of the ROOT
upon the front foundation of the build
ing. This should be corrected at once
and the building well tagged or planket
all around, so that the water cannot rul
under it. There should also be ditcl
cut or stone wall built in rear of the Jail
and thus preserve the stone wall stand
ing in the rear of the Courthouse, which
is also endangered by the drainage from
the hill. Yours, respectfully,
: CITIZEN.
