PEANUT ROAsrER BURsTED.
The peanut rooster that has been the
center of attraction Of young America
for the past few days, came to grief yes
terday. The man that attends to the
turning of the crank became excited on
hearing that Brannan would accept his
challenge and commenced turning the
cylinder 1t a rate of speed equal to its
being propelled by an S0-horse engine.
This caused the steam chest to become
heated, and the piston rod was o
displaced by coming In contact with
the upper steam port, breaking the
connecting rod and swapping the eccen-
trio as it %e-e a pipe stem. The thrOt-
ue-valve became choked or account of
the shifting valye not creating sufficient
in the hot well and condenser.
A stud bolt then broke and the fly
wheel rendered useless by one of the
cogs Of a minor wheel being broken
out. This rendered the rooster
ageable, and Peanuts has had it taken
to the foundry for new wheels to he
cast. 1t will be running in aday or so
again.
WATER IN RUBY HILL.-There Is at
present being hoisted daily from the
Eureka Consolidated mine about 1000
gallons of water. In the Richmond
none il being raised, from the fact that
no work is being prosecuted below the
water line, which is about 740 feet
from the surface, about OH y level with
the point to which it raises in the Eu-
reka Consolidated. In the X X abou.
o barrels are ra sed daily. The
water does not appear to increase in
quantity after n certain depth has been
attained, which would indicate that 1t Is
merely the drainage from the sur
rounding hills and that the water level
has not yet beer reached.
BLoCKADED.-No train has run over
the Eureka Consolidated road since
last Thursday. The high wind drifts
the dry snow into the cuts, when it
packs solid enough to bear the weight
Of a horse, and it Is impossible with the
appliances attainable To remove it by
any method except shoveling. Super
intendent Donnolly intends to have the
road cleared as sOon as the weather SET
ties sufficient to justify the conclusion
that the work will not bethrown away.
Snow sheds are badly needed over the
cuts, and until they are constructed,
during the bad weather of the Winter
months. there is bound to be . great
deal of trouble in keeping the road
open.
The MINsTRELs.-The audience as
sembled at Biselow's Hall last night
appeared well contented with the pro-
c,srstrN r~.tl,zs~ lIoot:@
The singing and negro eccentricities
were rendered in good style. The Eu-
reka Brothers, Frank and Willie
Cowles, in their acrobatic and gymnas.
tic exercises, showed their agility to
good advantage. Billy Newall, in
Echoes from the Rhine" did we'll,
and was received with continued ap-
plause. The performance concluded
with tho shadow pantoinime.
SOCIAL PARTY.-Tbe Old Mems
Heather Association will give a social
party at Criterion Hall, on Tuesday
night. The Deacons on the Committee
of Arrangements have secured fine
music and intend making the party all
that could be desired. They have
started a reform movement in regard
I o balls. Dancing will commence
promptly at 8 o'clock and continue
until 1890 o'clock. If this system Is
adhered to dancing will he an enjoya-
BILE amuseme It instead of hard work.
WATER TANK.-The X X Company
is having a tank constructed to take
the place of the barrels which are used
at present in hosting water from the
mine. The tank Is so constructed that
it can be lowered into the water, filling
itself through a valve at the bottom.
This will be a great improvement upon
the present method and will saw a
considerable amount of timeand labor.
