ANNUAL BALL.-We are to have
the First Annual Bail of the Silver
city Fire Department, on Wednes-
day evening, October 18th, 1874. This
is given to raise funds to liquidate
the Indebtedness incurred in the
purchase of the Babcock Extin-
guisher, the building of the engine
house, etc., which amounts to near
$500. 1t was first given out that the
dance would take place at the engine
house, but the Committee of Ar
rangements deemed the same too
small, and wisely secured Armory
Hall. 1t is incumbent upon our
citizens to purchase tickets to the
dance whether they attend or not,
as we are all interested in having a
good fire department..

The OTHER WAS DRUNK. Yes-
terday afternoon an unusual sight
presented itself in our streets, that of
two well-dressed gents who could
not trust themselves on the side
walks, they were not wide enough
to accommodate them. Black kid
gloves, with long linen buster, is
very noticeable in Silver City; it
will do very well in Gold Hill or
Virginia.

Bowers, a nephew of the late Sandy

good care, however, amputation
NAV not be resorted to.

MYSTERY ExPLAINED.-We lear

MYSTERY EXPLAINED.-We learn
from a strictly reliable source, that
the man Davis, whom we mentioned
in our last as being missing from
Dayton, evidently put himself out
of the way, in place of being put
out, as was at first supposed. 1t
seems that one man was about at
taching the amount Davis had due
him at the Excelsior mill, for a
claim of $1,000, and that other
debts have come to light. 1t is sup
posed that Davis cashed the check
for $500 at Gold Hill, and got up
and busted for parts more con-
genial, even leaving his family be-
hind and unprovided for.

THE Republican majority in Maine it now
appears is greater than in any off year since

1868. and exceeds that of last year by from
2.0OO to 5000. Both parties have however put
forth their strength, for although about ID 900
more Republicans voted than in 1878. the ma
jority is only as above stated, says an Exchange.
The returns from Congress districts also show
party loyalty. Speaker Blaine being accorded
q majority nearly as large as in the Presiden-

THE GOLD HILL CRACK WIDENING.-The
chasm in the ground, short distance east of
town, keeps on widening. On the eastern
slope of Fort Homestead hill, where, when
first discovered last Spring, it was only an
inch in width, it is now four inches wide. On
the west side of the next hill to the eastward
it is over two feet in width The crack, it
will be remembered. commences at Fort
Homestead and extends uninterruptedly in a
southeasterly direction for distance of about
a quarter of mile. The ground is now
cracked open even III the bottom Of the ravine
That the chasm is no ordinary landslide may
be inferred from the fact that along Fort
Homestead hill the ground close to the crack
on the west side is the lowest. On the next
hill east the ground on the west side has
dropped about three feet,-NeWs.

COME AND BE HEALED.

II matters not what your troubles may be,
come and let the Doctor examine your case.
1t will cost you nothing for consultation, so
please call and satisfy yourselves whether the
Doctor understands your case. If he can cure
you he will tell you so if not, he will say so.
for he will not undertake a case unless he is
confident of effecting cure.
YOUNG MEN,
Who may be suffering from the effects of
youthful follies or indiscretion, will do we'll
to avail themselves of this, the greatest boon
ever laid at the altar of suffering humanity.
DR. Spinney will guarantee to forfeit five hun
dred dollars for every case of seminal weak
ness, or private disease of any kind or charac-
ter, which he undertakes and fails to cure.
He would, therefore, say to the unfortunate
sufferer who may read this notice, that you are
treading upon dangerous ground when you
longer delay in seeking the proper remedy for
your complaint. You may be in the first
stage-remember you are approaching the
last If you are bordering on the last and are
suffering some or all of its i'll effects, remem-
Der that if you obstinately persist in pro-
crastination, the time must come when the
skilful physician can render you no assist
ance; when the door of hope will be closed
against you; when no angel of mercy can
bring you relief. In no case has the Doctor
failed of success. Then let no despair work
itself upon your Imagination, but avail your.
self of the beneficial results of his treatment
before your case is beyond the reach of med
ical skill, or before grim death hurries yon to
a premature grave.

A SERREs ON Our MINEs.-Mrs. Bowers, Of
of Sandy Bowers. was in this city day before
yesterday on visit to some friends says the
Virginia Enterprise of the 25th. Mrs. Bowers
was born and reared in the Land o. Cakes"
and claims to have Inherited the Scottish gift
of second-sight. Her fathers before her were
seers of great repute, far and near, in the
Highlands of her native land. She has at
various times foretold things that were to
happen in this part of the country and along
the line of the Comstock. She has always
taken great interest in the mines, as she and
her husband were at one time sole owners of
the famous Bowers claim, Gold Hill, from
which were taken millions of dollars. As we
have said, Mrs. Bowers was in this place day
before yesterday, and while here had vision,
or whatever it may be called. in which she
was shown things in regard to the Comstock
lode. She says that our greatest mines will
soon be at the north end of the vein. She SAID
that if she was at present blessed with ready
money she would put every cent of it into
mines in that direction, beginning at the Ophir
and going northward, as immense deposits Of
ore were shown her in the vein in that quarter.
Many persons here have good deal of faith
in her gift of second-sight, and, as she pre-
dcted the great fire in the Gold Hill Mines
and other things in regard to the Comstock,
they are inclined to believe that she is not
guessing at what she now says about the mines
at the north end of the vein.
Coal ExcTrEMENr.-They are having grand
excitement about coal and coal mines down at
Dayton Claims are being located all along
Ell Dorado Canyon wherever the tertiary sand
stone appears. A gentleman who was over in
that region yesterday, says the Enterprise of
the 26th, informs us that about forty buggies
were on the ground during the day, aud every
body was eagerly looking for a spot whereon
to locate. Our informant showed us a piece
of jet black and very glossy coal which he took
from his location at the depth of about eight
feet. He has in his claim thick vein of
bituminous shale, but the streak of coal-of
the quality shown us-is but two or three
inches in thickness. He informed us that sew
eral persons had found similar prospects at
and near the surface. The prospectors. in
making their locations, did not go III for acres,
but took up 1900 feet along the line of their
ledge" Our friend said that was the way
to do it, He said he could trace his 4" ledge -
two or three hundred feet. This is proof
that what our silver miners don't know about
coal mining is not worth knowing. We're they
to go out to locate ranch they would claim
so many feet along the groupings, and insist
upon having it with all dips, spurs and angles.
