The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-12-18

rora Company's mine enlarges as deveI-
opmenti is made. We have not allowed
ourselves to 60 crazy over the new find,
as is usually the case when a strike is
made in one of the mines. Besides, if
we had said the vein was larger than that
of the Consolidated Virginia, we should
not have gone back on it if it did not
prove to be so large. However, from all
the information we can gather, we think
the strike will turn out to be a large body
OF ore. and very rich. At any rate, Capt.
Drake and the miners seem to feel i'm
mensely grand over it.
GONE EAsr.-Uncle Billy Guam, the
builder OF the Philadelphia Smelling
Works, at Shermantown, left on Thurs
day last for a trip to Philadelphia, where
he will spend the Winter, and return
here early in the Spring. He has made
q success in the construction of his fur
mace, but it is too late in the season to un-
dertake fixing up for successful smelling
this Winter. but his company will do so
as early in the Spring as possible. In
the mean time the mines belonging to
the company will be worked. Mr.. Quann's
numerous friends here wish him a safe
trip and speedy return.
New TELEGRAPH LINE.--George Brown,
clerk in the P~ostofice, and Ned Sklllman,
"our devil" having a good deal of spare
time. and not knowing how better to en-
ploy it, have just completed a telegraph
line from the Postofice to the printing
Office. Everything about it is put up in
good style, and the boys are entitled to
credit for the genius and perseverance
they have displayed in bringing it to per-
lection. They are now in a condition to
communicate with each other, and If the
line does not prove to be a paying insti-
tuition. they can have a good deal of plea
sure and fun with it.
CoAsTING.-The big and little "hood-
iums" have lost their occupation since
the disappearance of the snow. For a
number of days Main street-that being
the best coasting ground-was the scene
OF great fun for men, women and children
during the day and night, and at all times
could be heard the well known admoni-
ton OF track" Several accidents &C.
Cured to the coasters, but none OF a more
serious character than a broken finger or
two and being scratched mp a little. Who
wouldn't coast, even if they knew they
wonid break a leg or an arm :?
Coon YIELD.-At the cleanup of the
Eberhardt & Aurora %Company's mill,
last week. it was found that the months
u had yielded a little over $IO5. 900.
This is a pretty good showing for one
mill IN an old, played out camp. How
ever, this amount is only a little larger
than some others have been for the past
seven or eight months. We regret that
other companies in this locality, having
equally as good mines and facilities, are
not doing as well as the Eberhardt & Au-
rora Company. Whose fault is it that
they are not?
MEETING The stockholders of the
Hamilton Mining and Smelling Company
should bear in mind that there will be a
meeting of the company next Monday
evening at the Courthouse, at z O'Clock
sharp. The object of the meeting is for
the election of a Board of Trustees, and
for the transaction of such other business
as may come before it. We suppose it
will then be in order for the Trustees and
officers of the company to give an account
o. their stewardship during their six
months incumbency in Office. All stock
holders should attend.
The WEArHER.-During the past two
weeks the weather has been delightful,
all that the most fastidious person could
wish for. 1t has been warm and pleasant
throughout the day, and not very cold at
nights. without any of the high winds
that are usual at this season of the year.
However, it is fair to suppose that there
will yet be enough cold and snowy wea-
Their to make up for the fine weather we
are enjoying.
PAY DAYs.-Saturday last Capt. Drake
paid off all the miners working in the
mines on Treasure Hill belonging to the
Eberhardt & Aurora Company, and on
Monday last paid off all the employees in
and aboutthe mill at Eberhardt. We wish
there were half a dozen more companies
here like the above, then we would have
bully times in old White Pine.
DULL. During the past week travel
has been dull and but few strangers in
town, and to help matters along in this
direction, quite a number of our citizens
have gone to Cherry Greek to attend the
ball and the three days racing.
SLEIGHING.-The sleighing is entirely
played out, still, we occasionally see a
sleigh being hauled through Main street
on dry ground. Two or three inches OF
