stances, yet times have been dull since
the mill burned down, and there are no
weekly shipments of bullion; we are
only in the land of prospect and hope.
The new mill will be in running order
by the LIST of October. The result of
which will materially change the live
prospects of this camp and surround
ing country.
Without the fear OF repeating, / STILL
in the language of the miners, request
some of the capitalists of the coast to
construct custom mill here. There
is money in it.
The Leopard is not the only mine in
the district. Other mines on the same
vein will in time prove equal to said
Leopard; and by the bullion products
yielded from them. make this section
one of the bonanzas of the Pacific
coast. a4
These predictions are warranted by
the signs of improvement occurring on
every hand. Every one as fast as he
can get lumber is preparing for
winter quarters, and in the future
next year expects to realize the hopes,
fruition and reward yielded by the
prosperity of a successful mining camp
As instances of the faith of the peo-
pie in the camp, can mention that
such business men as A. ID. Meacham,
Reinhart & Co., from Elko, are pre-
pairing to construct good fre-proof
buildings. Charley Cochran, of res
taurant notoriety, is now opening ont
splendid new establishment for the
restaurant business on Main street
Walsh, of the Cornucopia' Eating
House, heeps mp his lick. L. l. Hogle
& Co. are making substantial improve
ments. The surrounding farmers in
Bull Run Valley are having good crops
of grain, hay, etc. Goldman is hauling
hay into town most every day. Free
man win have his lodging house open
in day or two. Johnny Barrett is
doing all the black smithing. Wood
ruff a. Ennor, carrying Wells, Fargo q
Cos express. are going to deliver US
express packages in forty-eight hours
from San Francisco. Judge Sinclair is
still in San Francisco, and we are with
ont magistrate here.
We have to record another death.
Mr.. Eldridge, who formerly kept an
eating house in upper town. was buried
to-day. Most ali the citizens turned
out at the funeral, thus showing respect
to his memory.
OF other improvements / will mention
that we have photograph gallery. |

prietors. McAvin & Rodgers have
brewing establishment, and make the
best of beer in this mountain town.
They often inquire after the SILVER
STATE.
The Painter and South Leopard
mines are coming ont well, and there
is good prospects for the Black Dia-
mond. The Fisher, superintendent by
George Tucker, develops splendidly.
Personal.
Ex-Governor Blasdell's tall form was
here the other day, but few knew him.
One would have hardly thought that he
once upon II time had been Governor
of the sovereign State of Nevada.
Whether he captured Cornucopia mines
or not. cannot tell. 5. NJ. Ii.
