CHA LETTER.-August 10th: Drift
south from MCGEE shaft is in Sc feet,
between porphyry and quartz within
the past few feet. We are still getting
a little ore north of incline at top of
hill in old works, will commence on
south of shaft in a day or two and
take out what there may be in that d.
rectiOn. The incline southwest from
south end of middle level is in 80 feet,
no change at this point. Cross.cut west
from bottom of shaft is in 251 feet, last
ten feet is in lime boulders cemented
together. The fact is, however, that
we are in broken country rock, Occas
Toned by the hill having been moved
from the original bed at about this
depth.
In THE WRONG Box.-There seems
to be some of our citizens who are
not aware that the Postofflce has
been removed. An examination of
the old outside letter-box yesterday
disclosed the fact that IA letters had
hnAn nnn thArn fr xpnrp
Some had been there for two weeks,
and no doubt some have been
| giving their correspondents q mental
overhauling for their supposed nom
| attention to their letters. The letters
were sent to the Postofice and for
warded to their destinations by last
nights mail.
A BAD FALL.-P. Casey, the tailor,
while walking on the railroad trestle-
work at the Eureka Consolidated
smelling works last evening, lost his
balance and fell to the ground, q dis
lance of about twenty feet. Doctors
Bishop IL Cram we're summoned to at
tend the unfortunate man. They found
no bones broken, but the entire sys-
tenn sustained a severe shock and his
right side was partially paralyzed by
the fall. 1t was a miracle that he was
| not killed. Mr.. Casey was taken TO
his home and seemed to be somewhat
recovered late last night.
| Neutrality-suspicious. Loschenkohl,
owner Of the Elko hotel, which was q
few weeks since destroyed by fire, is
having a new building erected on the
site OF the old one. 1t will be of brick,
and when completed, be q great i'm.
provement to that portion of town.
Dick Ryland has the contract for put.
ting up the building. Louis is an en-
ergetic, wide awake citizen, and though
losing everything by the fire, is already
working his way to the surface again,
and we hope he will once more soon
be on the road to fortune.
Acknowledging seemed very
anxious yesterday to hear from the
| convention. The Democracy are sch-
ing 10 give vent t their feelings and
have a ratify. To-day the conven-
ton will probably get through its
work and the news will arrive here
sometime during the afternoon. The
probability of some one from Eureka
being given first place on the ticket
adds to the interest manifested.
HoRRIBLE.-The word fully u.
presses the reality when the great
binding clouds Of dust are cavorticg
in all directions as they have been for
the past few days. "Washoe zephyrs"
are small potatoes in comparison to
them. The clerk Of the upper regions
has our consent to let up whenever he
feels like it.
OPERATIONS BEGUN.-The Prospect
Mountain Tunnel Company has al
ready commenced operations. A
squad OF men has started work on
the facing of the tunnel on the west
side OF the mountain near the resi-
dence of Captain Foley.
RETURNED. DIR. Chamblin, Luther
Clark and Chas. Pryor returned from
their hunting expedition Sunday, after
having made a successful foray. They
killed a deer and any number of rab-
bits and grouse. They also located a
''sarvisberry" claim.
LosT.-The finder of a gold chain
and locket, lost On Saturday evening,
will be suitably rewarded by leaving
the same at this office. 1t is highly
priced by the owner-a little girl-as a
gift from a friend.
