TIE troubles between the mining
companies of Eureka originated in an
attempt to pay the men in silver instead
of gold. We judge from the tone OF the
following, which We find in an article in
the Eureka Sentinel of March "a, that
the chances are favorable for settle
ment of the disagreements:
We are now informed that every miner
on the Hill has joined the Union, so that
at least one point of difference is re-
moved. The companies have also sig
nified willingness to continue to pay
four dollars per day. This brings the
whole matter down to a single issue as
regards certain contracts in one mine.
The miners, We have no doubt, will, on
mature elaboration, revoke their deci-
sion on this point and thus allow the
mining operations of the district, upon
which all other business is dependent,
to proceed as usual. A b,ief resolution
by the miners setting forth willingness
to comply with the programme We have
here imperfectly mapped out would cure
the whole matter and give them the
hearty sympathy of the entire commu-
nifty in case of any attempt to reduce
wages in the future. We hope that this
much will be done at the very next meet
ing of the Union.

Mrs. Bslknnp's Youngest Brother.

The black sheep Of tho Tomlinson
family, OF which Mrs. Belknap is MEM
Der. was John, the youngest brother,
and. indeed. the youngest child. He
joined the rebel army, and for this dis
loyal act was disinherited and disowned
by his father. After the war he led
rambling sort Of vagabond ife-lived in
New Mexico, and often boosted of having
killed fourteen men in that unsettled
country. In personal appearance he re-
sembled his brother, Dr.. Tomlinson, al
though in features resembling the pres
ent Mrs Belknap. After his return from
the far West, and for four or five years
before his death, he occupied the position
OF clerk in hotels in Cincinnati. and for
several summers was second clerk and
floor manager of the celebrated Put IN
Bay House, at the island of that name
in Lake Erie. The fame OF his sisters,
in their high position of state and socis-
ty, was nothing to this youngest and
estray lamb of the flock, and he rarely
mentioned them, except with bitterness.
With the consumption in his veins,
which belongs to the family as truly as
their gentle birth and breeding, and his
indulgence in strong drink. he became
An invalid, and strangers-indeed, ser
vants-bestowed upon him the atten-
tons which should naturally come from
ones own kindred. A few days before
his death in the hotel where he had
lived for months, DIR. Tomlinson visited
him and provided him with everything
that was necessary at that time, but
dying man has few wants to which his
fellow man can administer. OF the sell
ishness and pride of his sister he was
living evidence, and on the day of his
funeral in Western town, Mrs. Belknap,
the present, was holding a reception,
apprised of her brother death,
but sit was only john

The Carson Valley Nescs speaks its
mind freely upon the question of q
new schoolhouse in Genoa as follows:
We are sorry to see 50 many of our
citizens taking so decided stand
against the building Of q new school
house. So long as people fight against
public Improvements they fight against
the prosperity Of the town. A good
school-house, to say nothing of its
educational advantages. would Increase
the value of real estate in Genoa more
than Eve times the amount it would
cost to build it. and the man who pays
the most tax will reap the most benefit
from it. Consider the matter well
beforeyou cast your ballot.

That Congress- shall not pass any To-

The last clause is framed, it will be
noticed, so as TO expressly authorize
and require the courts to determine
when general laws will answer the
purpose, and this is intended to over
come the difficulty found under SINH

State constitutions, of the courts hold
ing that the Legislature is the judge of
what cases can only be 'reched by
special laws.

GALVESTON, January pa special
to the News from San Antonio at this
date says advices received at different
points IN the Rio Grande by Mexican
officials, through carriers from Saltillo
with dates up to the 2lst, are to the eff
feet that revolution has been started
in the northern central portion of the
Republic. General Harrara, of Lagun-
and fame, has pronounced for the
movement and surprised the authDri-
ties at Parrass, which is now held by
his forces. The revolutionists assault
ed Rasaras which is defended by
Madro and who is prepared to defend
it until achievements can reach him.
1t is not as yet known whether tho
movement Is general or local. The
majority of the people in the northern
districts are represented as being In
favor of suppressing the revolution,
and are preparing for the emergency.

He denies that any such movement

that Dock Mangum, noted guerrilla

was assassinated while at work in his

Savannah, on the Tennessee river.
Mangum was desperate and deter
mined man, and had performed num-
erous acts of daring and cruelty. Two
masked men rode up to the fence near
where he was blowing, both being
armed with shot guns, and literally
riddled him with balls. They then
placed his corpse on horse and car
ried it away. They perhaps threw the
body into the river. The paper adds
that when the secret is solved 1t will
be found that Mangum was taken of
for some atrocity committed during
the rebellion. Up to this writing the
guilty parties have not been appre-
hended.

ST PAUL, January 25. Special dis
patches from Bismarck to papers IN
this city, contain glowing accounts
from the Black Hills country. A party
carrying the mail between Bismarck
and the Black Hills had returned and
gave wonderful reports Of the richness
of the country. The report is vouched
for as thoroughly trustworthy.
Twelve hundred men are now on
that portion of the Black Hills through
which rapid creeks run, averaging
diggings 81 per hour to each man, and
they saw Sl37 taken out In six hours
by four men. Next day the same force
and in the same time took out SIP.
California Joe, person of renown
among the gold miners, saw $34 taken
out OF single pan, there being one
nugget worth $40. All the returning
party brought specimens of gold oil
splendid quality. They all agree IN
statements regarding the beauty and
richness of the country, and say Gus
ter's report was not at all exaggerated.
A large party is preparing to start
from Bismarck for the hills, and will
take u large amount of goods. Bis
marck merchants complain bitterly
that the Northern Pacific Railroad re-
fuses to run trains to that place during
the present open winter, so that sup
plies for the Black Hills may be sent
forward from that place, which is much
the nearest to the best dlggings.
