HAYES SILVER MINING COMPANY.

The Hayes Gold and Silver Mining
Company is an incorporation, formed
under the laws of California, to work
mines in Robinson District, with its
principal place of business in San Fran
cisco. Through the courtesy of superin-
tendent Thomas Cahill, a gentleman long
known as a competent assayer and min
ing expert, we were permitted to view
the Hayes Mine, the principal one be-
longing to the company. The main
shaft to the mine is sunk now to a dis
lance of 1872 feet about 10 feet north OF
the vein, which is cut and worked by
means of drifts connecting with levels
run from the shaft. At the depth of l09
feet from the surface the first level is run
east a distance of 1876 feet, carrying ore
in face and along the north wall, and
west Is feet. Fifty-fve feet east along
the level, a drift has been run north,
cutting a vein of ore six feet in width,
which will work at the mill 5000 per ton I;
Ill feet east another north drift exposes
the vein to be IL feet in width, the ore
from which will average $50 per ton.
At this latter point a winze has been
sunk "a feet, the ore improving in value
and the vein widening as depth is at
tanned. Running west from the main
shaft a distance of 10 feet, a drift has
been run north cutting the vein, showing
it at this point to be Il feet in width,
with winze sunk 20 feet on the ore. 1t
is proposed to continue sinking the main
shaft, still on the north side of the vein
until a depth of 1874 feet shall have been
attained, when another or the second
level will be run. This system of work
ing is certainly a good one, keeping, as
it does, the main shaft for hosting pur-
poses and not interfering with the quick
delivery of ore to the surface. The
hosting apparatus now consists of a
within, worked by horsepower, which
will soon have to be replaced with steam.
The amount of ore which can now be
with ease is estimated at 20 tons
per day, more than sufficient to supply
the Watson Company's mill, which in
stitution has contracted to crush the
ores. There are now 500 tons upon the
and, with the quantity being
raised every day, nc fears need be enter
of a long and remunerative run
when the mill starts up. Mr.. Cahill ex-
presses himself as well pleased with the
present and future prospects of the prop
and is of the opinion that the mine
will prove one of the richest in Eastern
Nevada.

MoKTNNEY's SrATEMENT.-In an interview with
a reporter of the Phoebe Record. Mckinney. the
murderer of Morgan Courtney, made the follow
ing statement g The report in the Record said
that Courtney made a dying statement, one SEN
tence of which was, Mckinney shot me in the
back One would naturally infer from this,
that | had made a cowardly attack from behind.
This, however, is not true. ! do not blame you
for the report in the paper, because, | suppose,
you could have no prejudice on either side, but
will thank you to give my statement also. When
the shooting commenced we were face TO face,
and l did not shoot Courtney in the back until
he turned and ran. | said, Courtney. | am here
to fight | then drew my pistol and began to
shoot. On Wednesday night Courtney came to
the window of my room and used very insulting
language to notwithstanding me also unless |
should leave town. At that time | was sick. and
had been SO for several days. Here Mckinney
quoted the language of Courtney, which WAS GER
tainly the most insulting that a rough man could
say On Friday evening | was standing in front
of Bishop X Lees drug store, when Courtney
came by me and again used very insulting and
indecent language towards mt, and said E." | told
you to leave town or tight. l Will make you pay
attention to what l say or leave town. | then
procured a pistol, and when next We met the
shooting commenced. knowing Courtney to be
a desperate man, | thought | had to do as | did
or be murdered. This was the occasion Of the
shooting. The cause is another affair. He had
as good a chance to light as l did. Since | have
been here | have eaten nothing and slept little. -
From one who is not connected with the affair,
says the Record. we learn that the cause of the
shooting was this Moriarty had been on init
mate terms with a woman of the town named
George Syphers, whom our readers will remem-
Der AS having given testimony before the Coro-
ner's jury. Mckinney having fallen sick. this
woman was in the habit of visiting him, and Mo-
riarty became jealous. This led. to the hard
words and threats which were given to our re
porter in Mckinney's statement. We give this
last just as We heard it.

Saturday, Aug. Is, 1873.
A GOOD IDEA.

In conversation with some mining
gentlemen recently, the idea was sug-
gested that a commission, consisting of
say three persons, well versed In the
business of mining and judges of vari-
GUS characters of ore be appointed by the
next legislature to collect specimens from
the numerous districts of Nevada, label
them properly and place them on exhibit
ton at Philadelphia during the coming
centennial exposition to be held there.
The matter is that commends itself
to the attention of every mining camp in
the State, and deserves the support of
our contemporaries. 1t has always been
a subject of remark that our mining re-
sources are comparatively unknown
among a large proportion of Eastern
people, and, as Kendall once said, the
majority are unable to tell whether gold
or silver is extracted in Jumps of the
pure metal or otherwise. 1t is to inform
people, whose business has heretofore led
them in other channels, of the true wealth
contained in our country, by actual de-
monstration of the ways and means of
obtaining it, as well as to tell them of the
immense amount of precious mineral
laying undeveloped for want of capital.
We are of the opinion that much enthu-
siasm would be manifested by a Thorough
and proper exposition of the business of
mining; that much idle capital could be
attracted thither by this method. At
least il would show to the world exactly
what Nevada was and has been doing in
the way of adding wealth, from her silver
mines, to the people of the world.

ADVANCE PAY.-The new salary bill,
passed at the last Congress, provides that
all members elect, or who may file their
certificates of election with the Clerk of
the House or Secretary of the Senate, are
allowed at once to commence drawing
their pay. The modest little sum of 1925
per month is the amount allowed our au-
gust solons, which they never refuse.

ExECUTED.-The famous Topic chief
tain, Lozado, who has been a terror in
Mexico, and always at war with the gov
eminent, has been executed by the forces
acting against him. Although a brave
man, he has caused great trouble and
much suffering in Mexico by his acts of
lawlessness, and his death will not be
much regretted by lovers of law aud
order.

CoNcENTRATISG OREs.-We see by the Salt Lake
papers that a gentleman has come over from Eng
land 10 superintend the erection Of concentrating
machinery for the Utah Silver Mining Company,
of Utah. Mining operations will be suspended
during the erection of the machinery, but there
are 1000 tons Of ore on the dump readyfor work
ing. If a success is made of this experiment,
which is highly probable. the example will be
followed by many other mining companies in
Utah. More attention is now being paid to the
concentration of ores than ever before on this
coast.

CoINcIDENcE.--Just after the disastrous
fire at Portland, Oregon, comes the in
telligence that her namesake, Portland,
Maine, has just suffered from a confa-
grafton. The losses at the latter place
are estimated ut $500, 900, and a repeti-
ton of the disastrous fire of 1865 was
barely avoided, the fire being confined to
the wharves and shipping.

BUTLER AS GovERNoR.-The irrepressi-
BILE and INSCRIPTIONS political harlequin
General Butler, aspires to the Governor
ship of old Massachusetts. Were it not
ridiculous it would be alarming to think
such saleable personages as the subject
of this item would ever dare to aspire to
responsible positions in the gift OF the
people. When the Democracy turned
him over to the Republican party, they
certainly introduced a large-sized flea
among them.

ARREsrEp.-William Nash, the muir
derer of Martin Gersbach near Martinez,
California, has been arrested at Battle
Mountain, Nevada. He was surprised
by the officers in quest of him, and made
the remark that he would not have been
taken alive had he been allowed time for
resistance. A reward of $500 was offered
for him by Governor Booth, the murder
being one of peculiar atrocity.

PASSED THRoUGH.-T. L. Ham, for II
long time foreman of the Sentinel office at
Eureka, and a first-class printer, passed
through Thursday on his way to Phoebe.
Mr.. Ham was a candidate before the last
Democratic Convention for State Printer,

of his would-be friends. He goes to ac-
cept a situation on the Phoebe Record,
under the auspices of his old friend Judge
Berry. We wish him success wherever
he may camp.

MS that no better mill can be built in the
country than will be the Watson when
completed. The work of construction is
under the supervision of Mr.. Hitchcock,
a contractor from below, who has had
large experience in such matters.

INTERNATIONAL MILL AT EBERHARDT.--
The work of Strengthening out and get
ting the machinery in order to be put in
place has been energetieally pushed
ahead, and the labor performed will soon
make a showing. The lumber purchased
by Manager Frank Drake at Truckee, is
daily arriving, and the work of building
will soon be commenced. The number
of men employed On this work, with the
necessary amount Of Transfers, etc, re-
quired, gives to our neighboring town of
Eberhardt a lively appearance, in fact it
reminds one of the old days at that place.
We congratulate the residents of that To-
cality Oh their good fortune and trust it
may continue for many years to come.

THE SITUATION.

Last night we had the first heavy fros
of the season. 1t was visible every
where at sunrise, as was smile upor
each face that peered out at that bracinG
hour. A marked abatement OF the yel
low few er will doubtless be recorded thii
week. The disease has Aot declin ed
quite to the point Of our expectations
expressed week ago, that is, II
has not gone far down in the
teens. But the diminution of deaths
and of new cases begins to be quite per
ceptible. Our yellow fever reports,
which come down eighteen hours later
than those of the morning papers Of the
same day, and therefore cannot cores
pond except in aggregates, are as fol-
lows Monday, October 18th, yellow ie-
yer, Sc; total, AZ. Tuesday, October
l4th, yellow fever, 40; total, Al. WedneS-
day, October 18th, yellow fever, 35; total,

yer, 10; total 81. Friday, October 18th,

October 18th. yellow fever 32; total "a.
Saturday, October 10Th, yellow fever, 30;
total, &c. Monday, October 10th, yellow
fever, 20; total, 26. The cool
weather is always unfavorable to
bad cases, and a slightly increased
rate of mortality for day or two will
not be surprising. With another frost
to night, which seems probable, a rapid
decline of the sickness will be assured.
People at home should fumigate, disin-
feet and ventilate as much as ever.
Absentees had better remain such until
called for. The worst is over, but it is
too soon to rejoice and relax our vigi-
lance.

New York Cor. Of the Chicago Tribuns.l
A prominent lawyer. who had kept a
large deposit for some time in the Broad
way Bank, drew IL out and placed il in
the Atlantic Bank. When the Broad.
way failed, last winter. he felicitated
himself up the change be had made.
Early 10 the spring he took his money
from the Atlantic. aud put IL in the
Union Trust Company. Soon after, the
Atlantic closed its doors. and he was de-
lighted TO think how lucky he had been
in not leaving his funds in It's custody.
Last week the run began on the Union
Trust, and he hurried 10 the bank, and,
by three hours Of excitement, anxiety
aud crowding, he carried of his balance,
and lodged it VITA Howes 4 Macy.
There he felt confident il would be safe,
and was coAfourded on learning that
they had also suspended. He is now OF
opinion that it was his destiny TO have
his money! in some failing clearinghouse,
and that, il he had changed it hundred
times, the ultimate result would have
been the same.

HAVE A CARE FOR THE FUTURE.

The first frost of the season occurred
on the 9th and 7th OF October. On the
10th of October the epidemic began to
relax his hold on the throttle. The next
frost occurred week later, and we are
just now experiencing the beneficial re-
suits of the same. Ten days from to-
day, say the 3Oth of October, the disease
will be showing only fittul signs of life.
But still he will have power to kill
many people, and power, through our
want of knowledge in dealing with the
matter. The germ of the disease,
though killed by the frost in the open
air, will still lurk in warm rooms and
protected places, dormant, though alive,
and will sally again whom the tempera-
ture rises above seventy degrees, and
begin new depredations and reproduc'
tions. We think the cases now develop
ing are due to germs protected from the
late frosts in the manner indicated Ifsuch
is the case, manifestly we should make
an effort to destroy the hidden germs.
Fumigate every room in every house
with the vapors Of coal.tar or sulphur
GUS acid gas. Sprinkle every floor and
every hanging, and be sure you 60 under
the beds, sefas, lounges and tables, with
diluted carbolic acid; one part acid to
fifty parts water These precautions
are very simple and inexpensive, and if
they are adopted from this day to the
Grst of November, hundred or more
valuable lives will be saved. Half
gallon of coal-tar, pound each Of
sulphur and carbolic acid, comprise the
materials needed in each household.
Let us entreat you, friends and brothers,
not to neglect our advice. Do not
jeopardize valuable life, when there is
no necessity for so doing
