NOTES FROM RUBY HILL.

EDtiOho oENliNELs Luz UuSlIoSS
prospects OF Ruby Hill, though not so
bright as could be wished, are far from
discouraging. The business men of
the place have a fair chance of collect.
ing their long. standing accounts, and
altogether the prospects are much bet
ter than they were a month ago. The
Richmond is working a full force of
men, and / am informed by competent
judges that there is sufficient ore in
years; but the Eureka Consolidated
has, until Mr.. Donnelly's administra.
tration, heen under very different man.

man q supply of muck-a-muck and
he will not exert himself a particle TO
increase the supply until there is no
supply to increase. This has unfor.

the management of the Eureka Con.

much speculation rife as regards the

notable fact that The general dip OF all

is working but few men and the X X
none at all; whereas they are both
good mines, though the X X has the
most ore in sight at present.
Our business Men.
First and foremost among our bust
ness men OF Ruby Hill is John Lam
bert, a genial, whole-sou led fellow,
whose stock in trade is varied. and va
rious as the wants of his customers,
'pi'PiiSA1S oiv spDoSs Ichuy IIld'tc
clothing, hardware, groceries and
whisky, wines, brandies and cigars;
besides which he keeps a butcher shop.
| understand that he intends adding a
drug store, blacksmith shop and Nv
cry stable-just to make things lively
you know y.
In the sale Of benzine and Jersey
lightning, NJ. Kyle e. Bro. and Frank
Wallace do the principal business.
The uie laid idle so long last winter
(thereby getting in debit that trade in
that line is not so lively as usual,
though the five saloons on this side OF
the Hill appears to support their re-
spective owners, yet / %apprehend it is
not a very lucrative business at pres
ent.
DR.. Schulze ministers to both the
mental and physical wants Of the good
people of the Hill; what, with papers,
periodicals, and a circulating library
Of miscellaneous literature, and phys
les and "fxins" of all kinds and de
scriptions, they certainly ought to be
happy. ~
The most complete boarding. house
on this side of the Hill is kept by Mrs.
Kavanaugti, which is as complete in
its appointments as any hotel in Eu-
reka, and is fully as we'll managed. 1t
is, | believe. the only two story build.
ing III the Hill and the only one where
board and lodging car he Obtained ut
the same house; in fact it is the only
place where lodging can be obtained at
all.
Major Mccoy has men employed on
the Grant mine, on Mccoy hill. They
are taking out from five to seven tons
per day. which is very we'll for two
men. Mccoy hill bids fair to amount
TO something after all.
Ny letter has already attained suffi-
cient length. consequently the Jack.
son must lay owe until | write again.

ing of the Fourth of July by the MEM

elegantly decorated, and nothing will
be left undOne which will tend to en-

AN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES individ-
nal, in a broad. brimmed slouched hat,
resembling in his general appearance a
cross between the King Of Paine and
Theodore TiIton, addressed an audience
last evening from d dry goods box in
front OF the Corner saloon. His theme
was .'soap." He failed to awaken much
enthusiasm among his audience, prob
ably for the reason that the inmate of
the Damphool Infirmary are not per-
mitted tOleave that establishment after
shutdown.
