Belmont.

A correspondent Of the Reese River
Rereine. writing from Belmont under
date of March 22l, says:
The mines are looking f~rst-rate, and
the two mills are running steadily.
The Ell Dorado Consolidated Company
Is shipping an average of $4,000 por
per day, while the Monitor Company
Is doing the same. The bars are the
finest in the country. running daily to
900 aud 994 flnc. They arc large, av-
eraging g. 900 each. The Ell Dorado
Consolidated Company have struck
good milling ore in their 4OO-foot level.
running north. and are taking out
splendid sulphuret ore from the $40
foot level, north l20 feet from the
main incline. The south body Of chic.
ride is giving forth its tons OF fine ore.
and it Is the opinion of experts that
this Is the main chimney In the Ell Do
RADIO mine. The walls dip ut an angle
of forty degrees, while the vein or
which the main incline is sunk dips at
an angle of only thirty degrees, with
proper hosting works over the shaft
now sinking in this body Of ore. The
ore now being reduced from the Arl-
IONA mine averages 5000 per ton. This
company Is working about seventy
men. The Monitor Company keep
the mill going steadily, and the slopes
throughout the Monitor mine still hold
their own, and send forth their regular
supply Of fiue ore. Working some
sixty men. Tho Belmont Company
are rejoicing over their big strike In
the Transylvania mine, about 700 feet
north OF the Garfield incline. This
large body Is really the largest chin
ney of ore ever found In this mammoth
vein. The whole mass Of ore, as 1t
comes out will work about $500 per
ton. Work on the Highbridge hoist

A Web.Eoot Poet.

Stephen Maybell, the p%oet-laborer
Of Portland, gave the Dashaways a
taste Of his quality last evening. He
Is an ambitious o Of rhyme, who
fancles that the mantle of Bret Harte,
joaquin Miller, or some other Of that
school has fallen upon his shoulders.
He Is a versatile genius, If his claims
be well founded, embracing In the
iange Of his talents the specialties Of
poet, reader, humorist and comedian.
He was ono N of San Franclsco's
master hoodlums, but has latterly
fallen into vase making and q residence
In Portland. While here he essayed
the role Of champion dishwasher In a
cheap restaurant, but fell out with the
cook, threw a greasy ladle at him and
fled to Oregon. He lived with the In
dams for a while and led a wandering
life. 1t Is not known that he was ever
indicted for horse.stealing, or that he
deserted his wife and children, aud
there are several other elements Of
modern poetic greatness lacking In his
experience. Time may, however, sup
ply them, and then Stephen may be-
come n great man, and create as great
u ripple on the surface of the literary
ocean as that other illustrlous, golden-
haired eon OF song whose romantic
genius developed itself among the
Walla camps Of Oregon. Stephen now
very modestly styles himself the ''Poet
Laborer Of Portland" The title Is
highly appropriate, his productions be-
Ing decidedly labored.--S. F.. Chroni-
Gle, March 24M.

Worked Out Mineral Lands.

An important decision to both the
mineral and agricultural interests has
just been mado by the Secretary Of the
Interior In relation to mineral lands.
On the 18th instant the Secretary of
the Interior decided the case of Icha-
bod Dickinson against John Harring-
ton. involving the title to lands In
Culaveras county, California. Secre-
tary Delano reversed the decision of
Commissioner Drummond, and decid-
ed that although the lands had been
heretofore used for mining purposes,
they are now worked out and no long
er mineral, but must be considered ag-
ricultural lands.
In view of this decision the remarks
of our correspondent on another page,
In this issue, on the Civilization Of
Placer Tailings," are particularly ap-
plicable. He says the soil made by
the tailings from these placer grounds
Is very productive. except In cases Of
large hydraulic claims. His sugges-
tions In regard to utilizing the ground
are we'll worth attention. Placer
miners now who abandon their ground
must be careful to take necessary pre-
cautions, II their absence Is only tenn
porary, that the ground Is not'taken up
as agricultural. This decision will
bring to an end the carping Of a GER
tain class who inveigh against the
country being cut up by surface min
ing operations. In many instances
the ground Is benefited for the pur-
poses Of agriculture, as tho largo flats
can be utilized, and, In fact, the soil Is
really better than 1t vas In the first
Instance, being deep and rather po-
rous.
In this connection it may be stated
that the tailings from quartz mills, 1t In
| situations where the land can be
periodically flooded, may be utilized
In the culture of the cranberry. The
silicious soil thus formed Is admirably
adapted for this purpose, aud as the
quartz tailings are nothing Q than
pure sand, the cranberry can be grown
upon it to advantage. Thus we see
that, as we'll rs furnishing the money
for the "sinews Of war; as well as
peace. the miner In his work prepares
a place for the farmer to CLEAN his
profit, making the ground yield up Its
treasures in both Instances. Some OF
our mill men might take u hint from
this. and where the mill Is near a
river, and circumstances are favorable,
they can follow the vocation Of both
miner and farmer to advantage. In
fact, We are sure that In sorne particu-
lar cases, where the mill managers are
In the interest Of rings rather than
stockholders, that tho stockholders
might make more money out OF an
acre OF tailings. planted with cranber-
ries, than they could out OF a $lOO,OOO
quartz mill with a $1,000. 0O0 mime

Sacramento Items.

From the Sacramento Union Of yesterday
Coroner Wilson on Saturday held
an inquest upon the body Of James
Murphy, which was found floating in
the Sacramento, near the Gas Works,
on Friday afternoon. The verdict was
that deceased vas accidentally
drowned by falling overheard from
the steamer Dover, eighteen or nine
teen miles above the city, about two
months ago. deceased was n member
of the Ancient Order OF Hibernians Of
San Francisco, and will probably be
buried in this city under the auspices
Of the members OF the Sacramento
Division Of the Order.
Among the passengers who arrived
by Saturdays train from the East was
Sam Bowles, Of the Springfield Repub-
Hcan, and wife; Professor o. S.
Fowler, the ~phrenologlst, and wife ;
X. d. Rice. Vice President, and w. M.
Roberts, Eugineer-in-Chle Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
Thirty men of the Fourth Artillery
passed through to the scene OF the
Modoc war yesterday, under command
Of Lieutenant Howe.
From the Record OF Yesterday
On Saturday about IL O'Clock A. NJ,
= little son Of Edmund Ellis, who
lives ut the corner of U street and the
river front, was playing on the bank
of the river with two other boys, when
they saw the body of n woman floating
down with the current. They say
she had on a calico dress, that her hair
was red and cut short. The boys did
not report the fact at once, but at noon
Mr.. Ellis son told him about 1t while
he was at dinner. Mr.. Ellis promptly
reported 1t to the police, but the body
had already tloated far away and has
not get been recovered. Some persons
believe that 1t Is the body of the miss
ing Miss Coates, who disappeared from
Newcastle two weeks ago, and that 1t
has floated down the American river
to the Sacramento.
Wilson's stable was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning. Two horses,
owned BY A. q. Wiley. who has charge
Of the gasoline street lamps, YER in
the building aud were burned to death
before they could be rescued. The
building was entirely destroyed, to-
gethor with quite a large quantity of
hay and barley.
Three fine deer were sent from San
Francisco to Judge d. ID. Cation. Of
Illinois. OH Saturdays train. They
were expressed through and seemed in
fine condition.
On Saturday two tons Of fresh salm-
on and a large quantity of asparagus
and cauliflower were sent from this
city by express direct to New York.

That Fish Dam.

Ever since the trout commenced rum
ming up stream. says the Reno Journal
of Saturday, complaint has been made
from the people living along the river
west of Reno that none had put In an
appearance in their localities. That
there were distractions In the river
was a palpable fact, and 1t was found,
upon examination, that the fish could
get rs TAR rs the dam Of the Reno Mill
Company, and no further. Attention
was directed to the matter BY the
Journal, and we we're informed that
the Mill Company would attend to the
matter. Relying on such assurance,
we stated In Our last Issue that the OBJ
~structions had been removed. Such,
however. was not the case. But the
"cat'in the meal tub" Is now out, and
we are enabled to positively announce
that the obstruction has been removed.
And what was thi, obstruction?
Nothing more nor less than a fish trap,
lust below the dam, which securely
entrapped about 200 pounds of trout
daily. Sheriff Kinkead happened to
drop" on this little arrangement, and
night before last. when Luna shone
r~esplendent, he discovered the trap.
He ..laid low" until the next morn.
Ing. In the hope of catching these per
petrators upon humanity In general,
and the trout In particular, but they
probably having got wind Of 1t, did
not come to the trap In the morning
to get their fish. Finally the trap was
opened and found to contain about zoo
pounds o fBeautiful trout. 1t was then
broken to pieces, aud the fish can now
run up the stream and drop their
spawn. Warrants for the arrest oil
the guilty offenders are now In the
hands of the officers, and II the sus-
pected parties should prove to be the
real ones, they should suffer the ex.
treme penalty Of the law.
