and will probably be completed in another
week. Superintendent Ford informs us
that he has not been as successful in OBJ
tanning ores as he at first anticipated.
He does not wish to start up the smelter
until he has 600 or 700 tons of ore on the
dump. We regret to learn this holding
back of ores, for we are convinced that
by a little effort on the part of miners,
one thousand tons of ore could be ex-
tracted and ready for delivery in the
next thirty days. 1t is as much the in
terest of the miner as the Hamilton
Smelling Company, that a sufficient guam
tity of ore be in readiness to guarantee
the starting up of the smelter before the
bad weather ome on, and we hope the
miners will stir themselves a little, and
see that there will be no lack of ore to
retard the successful working of the new
and great enterprise just now being in
augurated.
AMUsEMENT.-Vivian and his troupe
gave n of his "parlor entertainments"
in this place last Wednesday evening to
a crowded house. To say that the enter
tainment was good does not fill the bill.
He kept his audience in a roar Of laugh
ter, until neither the ladies or gentle
men present had q string or button left
upon their clothes. On Thursday even
ing, at the request of a number Of citi-
zens of Treasure Hill, he gave aperfcrm-
ance at that place. We are informed that
the attendance was large, and that the
Hill people were delighted with the enter
tainment. Last evening he played at the
Courthouse to a larger audience than
greeted him at his first entertainment.
We regret that he could not have re-
mainedlonger with us. The troupe leave
to-day for Phoebe. This is the first en-
t%ertainment of any kind we have had for
nearly two years. and we feel confident in
saying that the troupe were we'll paid for
stopping over, and our citizens were
highly delighted with Vivian's "parlor
entertainment"
STRUCK Ir.-Ex-Sherif Patterson has
struck q veritable bone-anza. On Tuesday
last we saw him bossing the job of un-
loading a large team freighted with sacks
of old bones that have accumulated about
the town for q number of years. The
bones were destined for Eureka, where
they will be used by the Richmond Com
pany in their refining works. A day or
two since Sheriff Raum told Patterson
that he knew where he could gather a
large amount Of bones, and they were
only O short distance from town. Pat
terson being a friend of Raum's, the lat
ter took him out to see the coveted bone
ANA, and after walking about a mile,
brought up in front of the graveyard.
when Raum pointed his finger in the di-
rection OF the t~ombstones. and told Pat
terson that, with a little trouble, he
thought he. could get all the bones he
needed. Patterson Immediately invited
Raum to come to town and take some
thin. Patterson is still in the bone
business and making money.
THE BALL.-Last Tuesday evening the
Building Committee of the Masonic
Lodge, of this place, opened their new
hall with a very festive ball. The second
story of the building, which is hereafter
to be used as a Lodge room, had been new
ly plastered and reftted, made a splendid
dancing hall. The attendance was not
over large, but just about enough to make
it agreeable and pleasant. The music
was splendid, and the members of the
the Lodge used their best endeavors to
make it pleasant for those present, which
they succeeded very admirably in doing.
There were q number of ladies and gen.
tlemen present from Treasure Hill and
Eberhardt. who assisted very materially
in making the ball q pleasant affair.
Dancing was kept up until daylight did
appear, when all retired, wishing that the
time would not be far distant when they
would again be invited to attend a Ma
sonic ball.
THERE is on exhibition at the Sazerac
Saloon a pair of shoes, says the Eureka
Sentinel, which Pete Canavan has had
made to order for our old friend and for
mer ~preceptor, DIR. II. S. Herrick, School
master General of White Pine county.
They are eighteens, rights and lefts, and
were lasted on a couple of Schwamb's
largest sized collins.
FrNED.-John Nixon, the man who
shot TRAY. johnson at Eureka, some lit
tie time ago., was sentenced on Wednes-
day last by Judge Cole to pay a fine OF
$500. or be imprisoned at the rate of So
per day until paid. Nixon Immediately
paid the fine and was glad to get off.
