NOTES FROM RUBY HILL.

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 com petent
judges hat there is sufficient ore in
sight to run their furnaces for three
years; but the Eureka Consolidated

as is we'll known, give the noble red

he will not exert himself a particle TO

the management of the Eureka Con-

the machinery at the Wind,ail for the

Our l3nsiness 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 ant of his customers,
comprising dry goods, ready made
clothing, hardware, groceries and
whisky, wines, brandies and cigars;
besides which he keeps a butcher shop.

drug store, blacksmith shop and liv

In the sale of benzine and jersey

Wallace do the principal business.

the Hill appears to support their re-

DIR. Schulze ministers to both the

people OF the Hill; what, with papers, !

K~avanaugii, which is az complete in
its appointments as any hotel in Eu- !

board and lodging can he ob'ained at

place where lodging car be obtained at
all.
Major Mccoy has men employed on
the Grant mine. on Mccoy hill. They
are taking out from five to seven ions
per day, which is very we'll for two
men. Mccoy hill bids fair to amount
to something AFTER all.
