The night before the bill came up for

Republicans attended By Pugu Of Cali.

VIC should pursue. Every Republican,
ns well us Gorham, believed that in
this Centennial year it would DO too
narrow-minded II policy 10 expect one
man (thouSh he were JesSs Davis) from
tho provisions Of the bill. Had it not
been for the inteinPerate remarks of
Ben. Hill, or had there been no debats
at all, the Republicans voting in the

II seems, after all, that nm attempt

Eureka and Pulisadc. railroad in tLis
place. This would seem to Indicate that
active operations are to be immediately

dertaken by Sutro, and the belief is ius1
| tined thnt it's successful completion will
be OF far greater benefit to fle mining
world. The opinion has always pre-.
vailed among mining men that untold
mineral wealth lies locked down in tho
| bowels of Treasure mountain, The
projected tunnel is designed to pierce
the mountain at great depth in one of
the most favorable localities. Wo wish
haJor Henry success, and hope that he
has stiH company to buck him in his
stupcndous undertuking.-.SeRtiaci.
