A QUESTION OF TIAE.-In another col
umn we give report Of the condition of
the principal mines Of this district. 1t
NAV not seem as encouraging as one
might wish, because there is not as in |
former DAYS a large weekly export OF
bullion to report. Bat for all that we
can not but think and so state that the |
mining outlook in comparison with what
il was a few months since is vastly I'M
proved and that improvement continues
TO gain. The western ground of the Ray
mond & Eiy shows that far under the
ridge at a very great depth, that the
vein is large and remuneratiye. From
the extreme southwestern workings ore
of superior character Is being extraeed
and the developments on the tenth,
ninth and eighth show that the deposit
is continuous and of considerable extent.
This is A fact of very considerable i'm
portapce. and one that we do not think
is appreciated at its full value, for it GER
family shows that the main vein con-
tinues through the ridge with every
prospect of being valuable. On the
other hand, while at present the status
of the ledge below the water-level can
not be revealed until the main shaft has
acquired greater depth, yet in that case
there is every reason TO suppose that
If the ledge is as good as it is in the
western ground on the thousand-foot
that it will maintain its valuable char
meter below tina. point. The fact 10, that
matter is simply question of time, and
We do not think very long time either.
Probably sufficient in which to sink the
main shaft of the mine 200 feet deeper
| and to run cross-cut to the ledge.
Those operations will not take a great
| length of time and even that to
certain extent will be anticipated,
for it is more than likely that as the
water recedes winze will be sunk on
the ledge from the 1200-foot level, which
will it is hoped, and reasonably so,
afford cheering developments. Of course
all signs may fail, but those who ought
to know best do not think they will, we,
therefore, still repeat our own and we'll
settled opinion that the development of
rich and large ledge is only question
of time.
CLOUD BURSTS. -The time of year is
approaching when cloud bursts or water
spouts are not infrequent. Last season
phenomena of this character occurred in
many places, and did much mischief.
One or two visited Phoebe, though they
did comparatively little mischief. but
those at Eureka and Austin were at
tended by terrible results both in loss OF
life and property. In view of this we
would recommend our citizens to take
such precautions as they may deem ex
peident to protect their premises from
sudden food. When they come they
give little warning and timely prepara
ton might avert considerable loss ant
vexatious inconvenience.
LAND OFFICE .-Jas. H. Langford VS.
, Taylor Bales. 1t was decided that mer,
assertion of residence, or only tenn
porary residence is not enough to com
, ply with the provisions of the homestea,
or presumption act. There must be al
actual bona fde residence, occupation
and cultivation. 1t was therefore rec
, commended that the homestead filing o
Bales be set aside and cancelled. Th
decision was rendered by the Registe
f and Receiver. We learn from Taylo
q Bales that the case will be appealed t
the Commissioner of the Land Office.
