men among us who are more than ordinarily com
petent for the positions of orator. poet, etc, who
will respond. with pleasure, to a call made upon
them by citizens. 1t is not necessary to have q
grand display, under the circumstances, but we
can at least get up a good time at small cost,
have fireworks and a procession, winding up with
. ball In the evening. We hope some OF our
public-spirited citizens may take this matter in
hand, call a meeting Of the people, appoint CON-
mittees, and go on with the good work, and show
outside people that we still i've. A celebration
such as we ought TO get up, would induce large
numbers Of ranchers and others to visit Hamil-
ton on the Fourth to join in a proper observance
Of the day we celebrate. 1t is better to
at once. Is many arrangements are to be made,
and we have no time to spare. Let every one
take hold and the thing will surely be a success.
The TRENCH MINE.-In conversation with Mr..
Butsch, acting Superintendent OF the above
mentioned mining location, we have gathered
the following facts. The mine has been con.
stantly worked all Winter with a small force of
men who have been engags ID in extracting ore and
placing 1t on the dump ready for shipment when
the roads should open. Ten tons were recently
shipped 10 the Lemon Mill ut Eureka, for re-
duction, and the result of the working exceeded
the most sanguine hopes Of its owners, giving y
gross return of 81 .9O0. or. 500 per ton. and a
nett profit of 81, 200 or $3.50 per ton. We are as
sured there still remains plenty more just such
ore at the mine, which will be forwarded ~ fast
as possible. Mr.. Butseh informs us that during
his absence from Hamilton the miners to whom
lie had let a contract to run a drift have struck
a valuable and extensive body of high. grade
mineral. While engaged attending to the samp.
ling Of his rock, MIR. Butsch assures US that the
gentlemanly superintendent of the Lemon Mill
afforded him every opportunity to watch the
progress Of the working, and was constantly
courteous and obliging. Diekenson is evidently
the right man In che right place.
EASTERN vIsIrons.-we were favored with an
Introduction to A. 4, Gilmore and job Mather.
two gentlemen just arrived from Fort Howard,
Wisconsin, who visit this section ON a pleasure
excursion. Mr.. Gilmore is the brother Of ID. T..
Elmore, now superintendent Of the Watson Com.
pany in Robinson District. and one of the Trus-
tees of the Hayes Mining Company. During their
visit these gentlemen went to examine the piines
ON Treasure Hill, and were much astonished at
the appearance rs well M the hltItuut u tnt
country. A. Z. Elmore is we'll known as a large
owner In and constructor Of Eastern railroads.
and comes to this coast with a view OF inspecting
our advancement in that line OF enterprise. The
mistake visitors from Eastern sections make is,
that they do not remain long enough with us to
have more than a casual acquaintance with the
country and people.
From MuScEY cnKEK.-Fred Plageman, well
known throughout Eastern Nevada. and who has
been residing at Rubyyille for some months past.
informs us that the mining interests at Muneey
Creek never looked more promising than at the
present time. The principal ores are base, well
suited for smelling purposes. and are found In
sufficient quantities, even at this early stage of
development. TO warrant an opinion Of their
enormous extent. Every facility for successful
reduction Is to he found In the vicinity. water
and wood Astounding. Taking a practical view
Of the situation. Plageman is willing to stick to
his camping ground, firmly believing that a
glorious future is in reserve for that section Of
country.

CAROLINE NINE. T.. Mathewson. just re-

mine, situate at Mount ophir, and now being
worked by L. Files, gives us the following item.
From three different grades OF ore the results

ond, 1887 third. sl71. The lot consisted of
seven tons, and was crushed at the Lemon Mill.
This is 3 good showing for White Pine Noun

In yENNA.-From well informed sources we
learn that l.. II. Newton. well known throughout
this section ar former superintepdent of the

rvs smiling countenance among ms and listen
to his relation Of the doings at the great show.
M~YsrERY.-The shooting and killing Of Thos.
Fliteroft, at Shellburn last week, seems involved
in a cloud Of mystery. Watts, the alleged
shooter, is In a fair way to prove an alibi, he
having made his appearance at a saloon imme-
diately after the deed was committed, asking
Whats the matter ?" We have not been in
