DULL TIMEs.-We have not hear
. from either side, or noticed any indica
ton that there has been any change i
the attitude of affairs between the com
panies Of Ruby Hill and the Miners
Union since the publication of Mr.
Ratclife's letter a little more than
week ago, and how the matter will
end it is impossible to conjecture. OPP
erations are entirely suspended at TIL,
Richmond, Consolidated and X Ii
mines. Thirty-three men, all told, arr
working at the Atlas, % at the Jack
son, 10 at the Hamburg, and IL at the
Adams Hll. These comprise the prin'
cipal present working forces in the dis
trict, although there are perhaps hal
q dozen other companies prosecuting
operations with forces consisting o.
from a couple to half a dozen mel
each, besides a number of individual
and unincorporated company enter
prises which, including active pros.
pectors, Will probably swell the nun
Der of those actually employed in min.
ing in the district to a couple Of hun
dred, or perhaps two hundred and
fifty. There is no denying the fact
that times are fearfully dull here, and
that they are likely to become worse
instead d better, unless some arrange
ment is made whereby active opera
tons will be resumed at the mines OF
the three principal companies, which,
besides employing q large number
Of men, " the principal furnaces in
which the ore OF the outside companies
is reduced. Until this is broughtabou
10 improvement in the times can be
reasonably expected.

derslanding English and probably not
being accustomed To travelling, he did
not yet off of the cars at that pnint, but
continued on TO Carlin, where he WAS
put off the train. He walked back to
PaIisade and doubtless the confusion
and excitement. combined perhaps with
hunger and anxiety, caused by his im-
p%ecuuious condition, temporarily over
threw his mind and instigated him to
the desperate attempt at suicide, al ac-

ago in the SENTINEL. His wounds
are rapidly healing and the chances
are favorable for his speedy physical
and mental recovery.
