PLEAsED.-we were gratifed to hear Mr.. Pro-
bert. the English gentleman who lately visited
Robinson District. express himself an highly
pleased with the appearance Of the mining inter.
ests In that section. From months Of experience
and previous study. this gentleman has made
himself thoroughly conversant with the values
of mineral bearing rock. aad his opinion. eonse-
quently, Is of more than ordinary value to min
ing men. We would be pleased to know Of Mr..
Probert's becoming an investor In mines at Rob-
inson, az. judging from the results of the Rich
inond Company. at Eureka. Of which he is n
principal director and owner. a new order of
things would soon obtain in the smelling bust
ness there. Our Mineral City friends should
endeavor to induce this gentleman to invest
among them, and the proper way to do so will
he, first to obtain a good title 10 their mineral
lands, by means Of United States patents, aud
then sell at some reasonable figure. Az the
smelling business now stands there, from all
accounts. no b"ncht will ever result TO the dis
trict by the present management. aud another
year must pass without any evident improve
msnt In that line. unless some men Of energy
and enlarged views become int rested. 1t is ne
manner Of use to our mines except they are
worked. and made to prove, by actual matter Of
fact evidence, such as contained in bars nd bull
lioH. their worth.
ST. JoHs's DAY.-The annual celebration OF
this event by the Masonic fraternity was held in
this place at Masonic Hall, and was made a sea
son Of social and mental enjoyment. A portion
of the ceremonies being public, quite a number
OF the "profane" outsiders were invited, and
partook Of the refreshments provided for all
Toasts were freely given and heartily drank, and
our Eureka friend, Dave Z. Baily, made several
OF his pertinent and wellseliyered little
speeches. which were. M usual. rnoored. 7. y.

and presided over the ceremonies. and TO him We
were indebted for the invitation to attend. In
the evening, one Of the largest and best-apPear-
ing assemblages 1T has been our good fortune ts
see for a long time. Joined in the pleasures Of thu
dance at a ball given by the fraternity at City
Hall. The dancing was Kept up until a late
hour. when all returned home, satisfied of hav-
ing been at one Of the pleGsantest occasions
Hamilton ever witnessed.
From SALT LAKE.-we had the pleasure OF
meeting with our late fellow townsman. W. S
Mccormick, just returned from Salt Lake City
of which place he is now resident. He says the
Cit of the Saints Is looking lovely in her Sprinp
dress, and, in the opinion of all, is destined tc
become. before loug, the great inland city OF
America. We regret to lose our friend McCor.
nick from among us, but are pleased to know Of
his prospective success in the business in which
he has engaged. The many friends Of Mr.. Nc
g,r,i,L aud Alta fptaragttnu family will ragr.f
their loss from our midst, as, we understand,
they will remove 10 Salt Lake shortly.
wREs's oScEsTRAToR.-W were invited by
Thomas Wren, Esq, to visit the White Pine
mill, and witness the workings of a model made
to represent his invention OF a concentrator of
ores. We cannot attempt a description Of 1t, and
from our want Of scientific knowledge In such
matters, would not hazard an opinion as to its
merits, but understand from those competent TO
Judge, that its ultimate benefit, as a means of
saving much of the valuable portion Of ores now
lost in the milling process, is a certainty. Mr..
Wren has devoted much time in persecting this
invention, and he has our best wishes for his
success in the undertaking.
SUDDEN CHANaE.-From the soft. balmy Spring
weather in which we have been luxuriating for
the past few days, we have emerged into a blus-
tering, stormy season of wind and dust. The
weather for the last few days. to draw it mild,
has been exceedingly disagreeable, and we sin
cerely hope, (but would not dare to predict for
better behaviour on the part of the clerk who
keeps the weather records,
STRANGERS IN Tows.--We have seen more
strangers on the streets during the past week
than at any previous time this Spring. The
cause is the number of witnesses, etc, who have
been subpnnaed to appear at this term of court.
Belonging mainly to the mining portion of our
community. they all express unbounded faith
apl trust in the future of White Pine county.
Many of the visitors lefi dur Sng the latter part
of the week. they having completed their bust
ness.
