FE0M THE BLACK hIII..-Ibers j.


gentleman stopping at the California
lodging house, on North Main street,
who is direct from the Black Hills, hay-
ing left that region one day last week
lie spent two days in Custer CITY and
was not at all pleased with the outlook.
lie says business Of all kinds is SO ex-
tramely dull that not man in the whole
region IS making expenses. Some of
the latest arrivals have little money,
but all who hsve b-en there for sny
length OF time are flat broke. Neither
the saloons or the gambling table. have
any patrons worthy Of the name. which
may be accepted as pretty strong evil
dence that dust is not so plentiful as
some enthusiastic writer's have repre-
scented. AS to the mines, they are be-
lleYed to be totnl failure. There is a
little gold IN the country, bat it seldom,
II ever, occurs in paying quantities. and
besides the rayines and gulches axe en-
tiFely too Hat TO admit of the ordinary
method OF sluice mining. Taken all in
all the gentleman in question pronouuoes
the Rack Hills . grand humbug: and
he seems much gratiied TO know that he
has eIcLsnSed 50 uupromising q region
for - hourishing town as Eureka.
Such OF our local readers rs NAV be az
ficted with the Black Hills fever would
perhaps do well 10 seek an interview
with the gentleman at the California be- |
fore taking their departure. Ten min |
1Ees with him is warranted a sure cure |
Tor the most aggravated case.-T Eureka |

agent Of San Francisco liquor hous,
! entered a mercantile establishment on
Main street, in this city, this forenoon,
! and approaching one Of the proprie

How many barrels shall it be-"
Nary dog-goned barrel"
But insist"
Struck iuto heap by the agents per-
slstency, the merchant now, for the first
time during the conversation, looked MP
from his writing, when he saw that the
agent had him covered with a cooked
siX-shooter- Quick rs thought he lodged
under the desk and seeking shelter be-
hind the waste basket, screamed out.
Send me four hundred barrels of YOUR
rotgut, if yon like, but point that thing
the other way

The supposed deficiency in the
weight of the trade dollar coined at
the Carson Mint is an absurdity on The
face of the proposition. Section 81 OF
the Coinage Act Of 1878 specifies;
That in adjusting the weight OF sill
Yer coins the following deviaiions snail
not be exceeded in any singls piece {:
| In the dollar, the half and quarter
dollar, and in the dime, one ana n half
grains; and in weighing large numbers
of pieces together, when delivered by
the coIner TO the superintendent, and
by the superintendent to the deposi-
tor, the deyiationS from the standard
| weight shall not exceed two-hun-
| dredths Of an ounce il one thousand.
The above viii demonstrate the fact
that the legal limit allowed on trads
dolIars, both light and heavy, is -
grains. Tho limit used in the work
| ings of the Carson Mint is three-fourlhs
of one grain on standards and lights.
In the adjusting room each trade dol
| lar pianchet IS weighed and if too
heavy is reduced by filing, or if too
light it is condemned and re-melted.
livery piece is weighed several times
10 insure the correctness of its weight.
Weigh clerks of the Mint would be
necessitated 70 form q collision TO per-
nit light weight coins to pass, as the
coin IS weighed and re-weighed several
times i'll draughts OF 81, 900, by different
attaches. after it is stamped, prior to
delivering it into the possession ofthe !

THE SALARY QUESTION.
The question Of the salaries of county en-

ordered, it will ba remembered reconstruction
vas brought about in the County Board, aud the
whole question vas referred to . committee at
the instance Of Commissioner Cleary. Since
then Mr., Cieary has been sick and nothing has
been done, except that Commissioner Mulloy has
been reappointed to the position Of Deputy
Sheriff. The latter fact is nov being used a. an
why the ealaries OF the Deputy
She1if1s should not bo increased. Mr. Mu'loy
finding time to attend to the dntes Of both Of
his Offices The question will be solved, doubt
less, in due time. II the Deputies fail to have
their salaries restored they rll have to bear
