THE RAcEs.--According to notice the
races at the new track, six miles below
Eberhardt. came off last Sunday. I'm
fortunately it was one of the most blustry
DAYS of the season, the wind blew a per-
feet gale, and the clouds of dust were
both binding and snffocating. The first
race was one against time. and Converse's
horse trotted half a mile in 1853. In the
second race Converse's horse Rambler
made the half mile in 1872. The third
race was between Travis bay mare and
Converse's brown horse, in which each
drove the others horse; Travis mare
won the race. There was not much
money bet; speeding the horses being
the principal object of the races. The
track is new and in very bad condition,
the dust being several inches deep, and
will require a soaking rain before it will
be properly packed for good racing.
IMPORTANT TO TAx-PAYERs.-Assessor

m that persons refusing or failing to

TRENCH Observation-Disclosures Robin
son is sending a number of tons of first
class ore from the Tepch mine to the
Mattison smelling works. He informs US
that considering the hauling) he gets
better prices for his ores here than at
Eureka. The Trench ore is of very high
grade, and is needed by the furnaces to
bring up the value of bullion. By using
this ere, and the other ores being Of fair
grade, some very rich bullion ought to be
made.
HOSTING WoRKs.-The Cherry Greek
M;n and Mining Company have COM
menced the erection of hosting works at
their mine at Cherry Creek. The work

place. are also making preparations for
for the erection of steam works upon
their valuable property. We are in
formed that the mine never looked better
than at present.

this 5-stamp institution is now in sue
cessful operation. Great trouble has

thatbusiness will proceed without further
interruption.

nan just in from Egan Canyon, we learn
