lFrom the elmo Courier, Sth.l
i TYBo.-The two furnaces are run
ming steadily in Tybo OH ore from the
Typo Consolidated Company's mines.
We understand the prospect of the
company is very encouraging. 1t il
rumored that n or two more fur
naces are to be built. and that the mill
will probably be started soon, as it is
believed a process has been discovered
whereby the ore can be treated sue
cessfully. The Typo Consolidated
Company are giving employment to II
large number of men, and as a conse-
quence all branches of business in the
town Is prosperous.
BELMONT MINE.-We learn from a
reliable source that the ledge in the
lower level in the Belmont is promis-
ing finely for a paying body of ore.
The ledge is about eight feet in width,
and the walls perfect. The north
drift progresses finely. Should the
lower level prove as good as anticipat-
ed, the Belmont mine will soon be-
come a rafting good property to its
owners.
PETE LOWELL has completed the
new telegraph line az far as the lower
end of Monitor valley. 1t will be
through to Belmont certain by the 10th
instant, and possibly by the 18th.
WE now have two passenger stage
lines between here and Eureka. The
travelling public should embrace the
opportunity offered them for getting

MAINE. Our dispatches indicate
that Maine has gone Republican, but
by what majority it il impossible to
estimate from the confused and i'm
perfect statement rendered hy the
Eastern compiler of tho Associated
Press dispatches; but from the figures
from at least from $4,000 to 0,000 less
than the majority by which the State
was carried for Grant at the last presi-
dental election.

peril of his own life, saved one of the

ing away with its enormous burden of
human freight. One of the returning
party, very full, had fallen between
the cars in such a manner az to be KEEP
from under the wheels merely by his
feet and hands touching the brake
blocks. In fact lie was almost under
the wheels, which were be.inning to
move quito rapidly, when Cole jumped
for him, and by main strength lifted
him out of his perilous p~redicament.
OF course this could not be done but at
great risk of Coles own life; for if the
man, who was very drunk, had strug
gled any, both would have been
thrown under the train and crushed to
death in y moment. We agree with
Mr.. Glover that Coles GOODNESS and
courage deserve special mention.
The Enterprise SAYS: The Virginia
City Coal Company, afi er having passed
through two veins of Ignite or brown
coal, each about fifteen feet thick, and
after passing through thick sti ala OF
sandstone, tireclay, bowlder deposits
and other sedimentary formations,
have, at the depth of about five hun
dred feet, Gu through a vein of quick
sand several feet in thickness, which is
giving them some trouble. The stuff
encountered is "A kind of slum, a mix
ture Of sand and clay, such as might
have formed at the bottom of a lake.
r. Nj. Daggett. Superintendent of the
mine, was yesterday looking up a few
experienced Coinstock miners to tim
her through the strata of stun. They
have sunk sufficiently deep to ascertain
that under the slum coal. shale again
makes its appearance. Under this
shale they expect to get a fine vein of
coal. Thus far the company have ex-
pended about $4,000 in work for the
development of their mine. They are
provided with proper pumps and
steam hoisting machinery. They in
lend to continue sinking until they
reach coal or primitive rock.

Going to Work,

One Of the first pledges Mr.. Lynch made on
his election as Mayor was that the social evil
which within few months past HAD grown to
fearful magnitude among us, should be banished
Mr.. Lynch has not allowed the grass 10 grow
under his feet" in the fulilment of that promise.
Two weeks ago, there is the best evidence to be-
lieye, the number OF professional agmphs de
pace In this city was between 30 and 10. fcstcr-
day the number was reduced to three, and these,
it is believed, are on their winding way to more
cougenial regions before this time A portion
Of them-such as had not the means to take them
await is said took refuge at Buffalo Rock,
and this den it is understood the sheriff and su-
pervsors are about TO take in hand and purge,
In some cases, where these unfortunate females
were without means to get away, the Mayor paid
for their railroad tickets out Of his own pocket.
While the Mayor has thus made speedy and
thorough work of this pest he has also taken
the saloon keepers in hand and given them per-
sonL notice that keeping open on Sunday, or at
unseemly hours at night, or selling to drunken
men or minors, and allowing gambling on their
premises and all other violations Of the laws
and ordinances regulating ouch establishments
will be followed by prompt and condign punish
ment. SO far as the law protects the liquor sell
ers within certain bounds, the Mayor engages
that they shall be protected in their legal rights,
but violations Of the law will not be tolerated If
the Mayer and police authorities Of the city can

their guns but wet rs rats and cold as an ice
berg 1t was certainly very successful expc-
dition. We reckon they captured more on
Thursday than for long time, for il they didn't
get much game, they got big colds and won't
have TO go TO school, or chop wood, or haul in
coal for many day, and those things cover a
multitude Of evils.

Obituary.,

DIEp-At Freedom, H., March Goth. 1876, Hen
pfyrTA Lucas, in the 22d year Of her age
At the age of twelve years she gave her heart
TO Christ and united with the NJ. Z. Church.
She obeyed The Leavenly mandate to grow in
grace Hrd IL The knowledge of the truth. She
was an efficient sabbath school teacher and
deeply interested in all Christian work, especial
ly the bible cause.
Her pleasant disposition and genial manner
endeared her 70 all her aquaintances. She mad
more than average intelligence and culture
Grace was perfecting and has now perfected the
life that to God was given. Her illness was
short, her death sudden. Shortly before She
died she called her loved ones to her bed side,
kissed them good bye and said "Tm going home
to glory" Quickly she sank away, quietly she
fell asleep. Death left smile upon her brow
he dare not steal that signet ring OF heaven
Her death has cast mantle Of gloom upon the
community. II falls heavily upon her parents;
especially her mother, who has been i'll and not
expected to live for weeks. The family, the
church and the community are afflicted, Father
and mother, brothers and sisters, and large
circle of relatives and friends mourn her loss.
The bright visions of earthly happiness have
faded; ioys that bloomed but yesterday are gone !;
memory keeps alive recollections OF garlands
withered, rings broken, vases once fragrantwith
flowers, and the faces of those that sleep beneath
the sod hope points to the golden morn beyond
the tomb; while love binding hearts together
and all to the divine Christ asserts that what we
have lost heretbelow shall be gathered again
clothed in garments of immortal light, when He
who is the resurrection and the life shall APP
pear.
"'Tis but little while; the way is dreary,
The night is dark, but We are nearing land.
Oh for the rest Of heaven for we are weary.
And long to mingle with the deathless band.
