lie TIER FROM CORNUcopIA.
CoRNUcoPIA, August 2.

would this morning sit down and write
you q few notes from this place. The
weather is warm and pleasant, not SO
excessively hot as it is in the lower val
leys of the State. This can be ac-
counted for when we remember that
the altitude here is something over
seven thousand feet.
Notwithstanding the Leopard Mill
burned down. the company continue to
work the mine night and day, with
some
SPLENDID DEVELOPMENTS OF ORE.
Everything tending to show that there
is a good prominent mine on that loca-
ton. The company are working dill
gently preparing for the reconstruction
of the ten-stamp mill, also for the new
twenty-stamp mill. They work day and
night in preparing the ground for tbs
foundations. This morning they com.
menced putting in the stone work. I
think they will have all their machinery
at work by the first Of October at least,
and by that time they will have ore ont
and enough to last them all winter in
sight.
THE HUssEY
People are continuing work vigorously.
with great prospects of striking the
mother vein (Which is the same az the
Jeopardy in short time. There is
really dearth in mining news, owing
to the damper thrown over the COM
munity by the burning of the Leopard
mill, in fact that event affects all per-
sons and all classes here. Money is
scarce, yet the town appears to grow
right along as though nothing had hap
pened, as fast as lumber can be OBJ
tanned.
LARGE NUMBER OF wINNEMUCcANs
Are here. Almost all classes from that
place are here represented. The laborer,
mechanic, doctor, lawyer, saloon
keeper, gambler, etc. Tom Laswell and
partner are in full working order.
Reeves is contending for his portion of
the mercantile trade. To-day he is
raising his store building which was a
necessity, as the old foundations were
too low. Johnny Barrett appears to be
doing considerable business at his shop,
and think is doing quite we'll. Last
night was quite a night for the boys, it
was occasioned on account of the open
ing of III Ovens new saloon. Holman
and Howard furnished the music. and l
am told this morning they had gay
old time. Everything passed off quietly
with the exception of two or three
broken heads. Most all got drunk
who participated in the dance. Free
man viii open as soon as he can get
lumber to put some finishing touches
upon his place. He appears to be one
of the fathers of the town. Tonight
we have an
ELECTION FOR MINING RECORDER.
There are two candidates in the field.
The present incumbent and our friend
Forney Before this letter closes / will
let you know the result. Woodruff &
Ennor still con sinue to run their daily
express line, and are taking the lead.
would that they would run over the
Winnemucca route; having that once
thoroughly established we could rely
upon direct communication the year
round. The Elko lines are carrying
passengers for So, and in return some
as low as 80 so. Every such thing en-
courages travel and trade that way,
when it ought to 60 to Winnemucca.
Woodruff's Battle Mountain line makes
the trip in twelve hours from that place,
so everybody prefers it to the two-and-
a-half and three days from Winnie
mucca. This ought not to be SO. Ring
gold. formerly Deputy Sheriff under
Thacker, is here driving quite a thriv-
ing business in the hay yard and livery
business. Walsh still leads as res
taurant keeper.
LATER.
Very, the old Recorder of the dis
