Local Intelligence.

may De premature, hhu perhaps un-
founded, particularly as affects the pros
poets of a mining camp, but, having
taken considerable pains to learn the
truth regarding the district known as
C%ornucopia, we are prepared to pro-
nounee it q failure. In conversation
with a gentleman Of considerable expert
ence in mining matters and also one in
whose word the utmost reliance can be
placed, having just returned from there,
we were told that but a small amount of
groupings had been found in the new
Ell Dorado, and those of small value,
in fact one could better prospect on
White Pine mountain than at that place.
We were also shown a letter ( ON a party
at present there who advises his friends
to stay at home and not spend time and
money running to the excitement. From
the first we had our doubts respecting
the new mines, and are now convinced
it is better for all to stay right here and
await the turn in the wheel OF fortune
which will bring old White Pine again
to the front; at least leave Cornucopia to
those who are already there.
A HAPPY GRANDPATHER.-We have
seldom seen so happy A man as was our
friend Myers last week, on reception of
the news OF his having become a grand
father. A telegram from his son-in-law.
X. NJ. Rowland, at Salt Lake City. con-
veyed the welcome aud long expected in
teligence, and Myers exhibited his joy
by treating everybody he came across.
We are indebted to him for several bot
ties of Heidseick, on the OCCASION. and
hereby tender our congratulations on the
auspioious event which has caused him
so much pleasure. All old residents re-
member the father aud mother of the
newborn girl, and join with Myers in
wishing them happiness in their newly
acquired treasure.
HOUSE MovISG.-Since the fire. a house
on rollers is a duly sight in our streets,
being conveyed from one lot TO another.
Since our last Issue J. Meyers, of Treas
ure Hill, has nearly completed two fine
buildings above the corner Of Dunn street,
for which tenants nave been found J.
II. Wilmington has moved a substantial
house on the lot below Woodruff 4 En-
nors, and many othez Improvements have
been made at different points. All the
vacant places. except a few, have been or
are being rapidly filled up with good
buildings, and before long we shall have
thickly settled a town as previous to
the fire.
From NrxegY CRKFK We met vii
liam Bireh6eld on the street on Thursday
last, just in from Piermont District and
Muncey Creek. He speaks Of Piermont
az being in rather a dilapidlted condition.
and almost entirely deserted. Mnneey
shows a more promising outlook
than any district in the vicinity. and so
much does Mr.. Birchield think of the
prospects there he intends moving over
mis- store and large stock of goods. 1t is
our opinion. as We have before stated it.
that the mines At Muncey win before
long equal any in Eastern Nevada.
ISrERYArIoNab MILL.-Work ON this
mill is being rapidly pushed ahead and
now commences to show the result of u
few weeks labor. Under the competent
superintendent of our friend Montgom-
cry, assisted by Perlia Roweil in the
carpenter department, the structure will
soon be completed, and must be eae of
the finest institutions Of the kind in this
section. Nearly all the machinery saved
from the old mill can be utilized in the
new, although, at the commencement Of
the work, it looked a cherries job to an
outsider.
THE WATER SurrLY.-Durin0 the past
week the Uater cart belonging 10 the COM
