On Saturday last the horse attached
to the within on the Sam Brannan mine
concluded to 60 prospecting. He had
been trudging around on the sur
face long enough. and he went to ex-
plore tho lower levels. In accordance
with this laudable desire. lie started
down the incline. lie didn't crawl
down. like the ordinary miner nci-
Their did he 90 down IN the chr but,
being In a hurry. no went down one
hundred feet the first jump. lie
glanced at the ledge OIL this level for a
moment. but not liking the appear
ance Of the vein at that point, took an
other jump OF ninety feet. Things at
the depth OF 100 feet appeared to sat
isfy him perfectly-so much so that he
lay down with the evident intention OF
staying there. and was only induced
to ascend BY the persuasion Of rope
around his neck.

The entire RereiUe corps, from the

New York Sunday morning, after ten
days Of rough weather. The vessel
was delayed considerably by heavy
gales, and the fact that her boiler:

THOSE organs which are keeping up
n pretense OF belief In the reality Of
Civil Service reform are put to shame
by the Troy Times. That journal not
only admits tho existence Of assess
ments for political purposes, but cool
ly asks, "what are you going to do
about is?" In this way at Is no
doubt true that the postofice employees
in New York have been asked to aid
In defraying the expenses Of the ell
cotton, to some extent, on the Repub-
lican side. Probably, also, the Gus
tom-house officers have been applied
to. We certainly hope they have. 1t
Is the most natural thing conceivable
that they should be. They are hold
ing good places under a Republican
Administration from which they would
speedily be ousted should the Dem
ocrats get into power, and 1t Is right
that they should not only feel an in
terest In the continued ascendancy oil
Republicanism, but exhibit 1t In sub
stantial manner. II there are any OF
them who cannot afford to contribute
toward the success Of the party, even
In a state election, not Immediately
affecting the stability of their official
tenure. then they ought to resign and
60 into some business Of q private
nature, and give place to others who
can make a little money 90 further"

From the Record Of November o.

from the Record Of November o.
At the Meadow Valley. In No 3 In
cline, . progress Of IL feet only was
made during the past week, owing to
leaky boiler, which delayed the work
for As hours. The west drift from the
tenth station has been u eight feet ;
the west from the ninth Is In 225 feet ;
the east from the ninth. 1923 feet ;
the east from the eighth, 1856 feet ; the
east from the 520-foot station, 246 feet.
In the summit Incline, the work hav-
Ing been delayed by All accident to tho
machinery, a progress of two feet only
was made. This incline Is Si6 feet
deep. IRINo. z the west DRIFT from the
eighth station Is In $50 feet. When a
further distance of 100 feet shall have
been accomplished, the connection
with No. 8 will be made. The usual
quantity of ore Is taken out daily, and
about 200 men are employed-mostly
o I contracts.
The American Flag mine was open
to those who wished to visit 1t OIL Mon
day and Tuesday, and quite a number
of we'll known mining men wentdown
the shaft. At a depth Of S25 feet from
the surface there is a vein of ore vary
ing In width from two to five feet. AS
yet the extent Of the ore body cannot
be determined. as it has not yet been
fully opened out. At present the work
In the mine has been stopped On &C
count of q considerable amount of re-
placing and repairing which 1t Is nee
essary to do. A new reel Is to be put
In, and the boiler needs meuding be-
sides this, q good deal Of other work
must be done. 1t Is not known exact
ly how long 1t will be before all these
improvements and repairs will be COM
pleted.
At the Phoebe a few men are kept at
work In the old shaft, over which a
within Is o o to be put up. The NOV
Ing Of the building and the machinery
from the old to the new shaft Ia now
going on. 1t Is hoped that this will be
completed and that all will be In work.
Ing order by tie first Of next month.
In the Raymond & Ely the perpen-
dicular shaft Is now 077 feet In depth.
A new winze has been commenced Mt
the eighth level, and 1t Is In very good
ore. At the seventh level, on the late
Hermes ground, the workmen are also
engaged In sinking a Wine In first-rate
ore.
At the Washington & Creole there Is
ore in the bottom Of each Of the two
wines. In which workmen are now
engaged. There Is now OH the dump
between thirty and forty IONS of ore.

FIFTEEN hundred skilled mechanics

FIFTEEN hundred skilled mechanics
are to-day wandering about the streets
OF Boston, with nothing to do. So
says a Boston journal. Think Of 1t.
One half this number Of enforced idlers
are probably married and have fami-
lies. These fifteen hundred artisans
are the support Of at least seven hum
dred and fifty mothers and two thous-
and children. Winter Is already upon
them, coal Is dear and food must be
had. And this picture Is reproduced
to-day In every city Of the great East.
We Of Nevada have surely cause for
thankiulness. Thanksgiving day de-
serves to be remembered and honored
here.

WASHINGTON advices say that there
Is considerable anxiety in military cir
cles over an occurrence which took
place between the Chief Signal Officer,
Myers. and the Secretary of War.
Myers rank Is Colonel, with q Briga-
dier brevet. He has fallen into the
habit Of signing himself Brigadisr
General. Two timely official hints
were given him that his assumed rank
vas in violation Of fact and law. A
few days ago the Secretary Of War
wrote him an autograph letter that he
had no right to sign himself Brigadier
General. Since that time he has en-.
tered his name on weather reports as
Brigadier General by Brevet.

One Of the depositors with Jay
Cooke & Co. at Washington says that
a proposition has been made by that
firm to pay fifteen per cent. In money
aud the balance Of their indebtedness
In Northern Pacific Railroad bonds.
This is a new way to float u~nsaleable
bonds. Jay Cookies most prominent
doctrine, and on which subject he
published a small book some years
since, was that the National debt Is
a National blessing" Presumably
he carries this principle into private
life, aud Is now attempting to realize
how great a blessing his own debts
are. In this respect, however, the sat.
isfaction OF his creditors Is unlikely to
equal his W serenity Of mind. Debts
may be blessings, but II so, they are so
admirably disguised as to appear to
the average citizen In an entirely Diff
ferent aspect.

n all the reports about him are true,
General Ben. F. Butler Is going to ap-
pear In Congress at the approaching
session as a great reformer, working
under a high moral pressure Of about
two hundred pounds to the square
inch. That was about what Senators
Sumner, Schurz, Trumbuil and Fenton
were carrying when they ditched the
reform engine last year. Butler Is
said to be maturing a piece Of strategy
which will expel all the Credit Mo-

committees Of the House ; he has also
prepared a bill providing for the re-

Butler regards newspaper correspon.
