properly belonged to him, hut be Was
secured BY friends, and general melee
occurred. and during the row outsiders
helped themselves to the money that
lay on the table and deeamped. There
was about 5000 on the table. all OF which
was taken. This morning one Of the
parties Was caught and made to shell
out the extent of his stealiDgs, which
amounted to about $50. The principal
thief is still at large, bot is well known
and probably soon will be captured.
With respec. to the tax on the pro-
ceeds Of the mines, the Virginia Enter
prise of the 4th says: Colonel James G.
Fair and tho County Commissioners had
a consultation last evening and q basis
OF settlement OF the taxation on the net
proceeds OF the mine was sgreed upon.
II is such as will have the effect OF re-
ducing the tax now levied for county
purposes from 81 so TO forty cents on
the 500; school tax of fifty cents on the
500 TO fifteen cents, and the State tax
from ninety to forty. Ths arrangements
will no doubt be made and will be q
great relief to all citizens who have taxes
to pay.
The Virginia Chronicle has the follow
ing concerning Mike McGown, the IMAM
eater" a creature who has made himself
known and feared all over the State by
biting propensities, met with Q set back
on Saturday night last. Five policemen
brought the mad-dog down to prison for
being drunk aud disorderly and turned
him over to Tailor Robey. McGown
began by abusing the jailor in his usual
style. Robey told him hold up bis hands
for the darbies, which McGown refused
to do. Not wasting talk the jailor just
caught hold of the terrible bitter and gave
him such ihrashing as he will not be
apt to forget. Robey never let up on
him till he cried for mercy and held out
his wrists for the handouts.
A few days ago paper was circulated,
by order of the managers. among the
hands OF the Richmond Company's fur.
naces, at Eureka, requesting them to ex-
press, by their signatures, whether they
would prefer to be paid in trade dollars
or in San Francisco checks, to be dis
counted by the company at the rate OF
five per cent. The workingmen very
sensibly arrived at the conclusion that
there was no good reason why they
should either be paid in deprecated cur
rency or paper at such an extortionate
rate Of discount; consequently they de-
clined to accept either alternative, and
the managers, finding that the thing
wouldn't work, gave orders for their pay
ment. as formerly, in San Francis checks,
subject only to such q legitimate rate OF
discount as is charged by the banking
houses here. A wealthy mining com.
pany proposing to shave its own paper
given in payment for honest labor ia
something new in the history OF the
State. and, for the credit of our district,
we hope it will be the last attempt OF the
kind that will ever be made in Eureka.
Daily. says the Virginia Enterprise of
the 4.h. there is to be seen q great
crowd OF men at the new International
Hotel looking on and mentally bossing
the job Of constructing said building.
They are on hand from early morn tc
dewy eve, and allow no details of the
business to escape them. These meu
are said to be mostly masons aud brick
layers who are out OF work, and who
find something fascinating in the wori
that is going on. These spectators ap.
pear to itch to take a trowel in theil
hands and 60 upon the walls. The mer
at work are severely criticised, as tn,
outsiders watch the laying OF ever,
brick and the motions OF every workman
There arc probably az good workmei
among the lookerson as there are on thu
walls, but all cannot get work. Where
large frame buildings are going up tn,
same thing is seen. Carpenters out O
employment stand about hour after houl
and discuss all that is being done by the
men who are at work.
The Virginia Enterprise of the 14.i
says: Some very rich ore is now being
found in the winze going down from tn
2000-foot level Of the Imperial. As tn,
deposit is followed down it appears to b.
gaining strength and solidity. Wher
first struck, on the floor of the 1000. foo
level, there was good deal OF lime il
the ore, but yesterday morning. at th
depth OF !orty-fve feet, firm and fin
black sulphuret ore OF excellent qualit,
was coming in. The ore looks mucl
the same as the richer ores OF the Cali
fornia and Consolidated. The ore all
the full size of the winze. which is bein,
run down OH the west wall OF the vein
The Alpha folks expect to ptriko th,
same deposit when their drift shall
have been extended distance of Abou
twenty-five feet. 1t is TO be hoped tina
the southern bonanza has at last beel
found. Parties who visited the min
yesterday speak very highly of the de
yelopment. There is no doubt in re
gard to the richness of the body OF or
struck; the only question is whether o
not it is extensive.
