A number OF parties about Eureka Are
becoming affected with the Black Hills
fever. The Sentinel says We learn
that party is forming to go to the new
diggings to Try their luck. Old miners
and prospectors are always haunted with
visions of new strikes, and the favorable

fever heat. II o party is forming it will
be we'll for others to await news from

The other day Gold Hill enjoyed a
brandy smash of huge proportions. The
Enterprise of the 18th says: Yesterday
morning brandy smash of no mean
proportions, WAS made on the railroad
track in Gold Hill. The mixture was
concocted by car, of which cask OF
brandy was part of the contents, and
which escaped from the control OF the
brakeman on board and started down the
grade. 1t soon came in collision with
another car, when bumpers came in
play aud the cask yielded up its con-
tents for the biggest brandy smash Of
the season. 1t was partaken of by
several miners who were hurryiDg by
with their dinner-buckets and who
stopped to catch the smash rs it came
trickling through the floor of the car.
We take the following from the yirg
Enterprise of the 10th: Drift 3D." or
1850. foot level OF the California, is being
advanced toward the Ophir line in some
OF the richest ore ever found in the big
bonanza. 1t contains much native silver
This increase in the richness of the ore
as the Ophir is approached. is q cheering
feature for the holders Of stock in the
latter mine. The rich ore may not run
into the Ophir-there may bs Jump
or break in the continguity of the ore
body-but the near approach of the very
rich ore shows great strength in the weir
in that neighborhood. There are afloat
many rumors in regard to strikes in the
direction OF Gold Hill. and much is said
Of big ore-body about to be developed
or already developed in the Belcher. The
eyes of many are also directed toward
the Overman and Justice mines. 1t i.
confidently anticipated that large ant
rich bodies Of ore will be brought to ligh
in both OF these mines at no distan
day. Indeed the outlook is fast i'm
proving along the whole Comstock range
The bonanza mines have never befor,
looked SO we'll as they do at the presen
time and the yield of the Consolidated
Virginia mine is now far greater thai
ever before in its history. For thi:
short month of February it is expected
that over $2,500,000 will be extracted
Although 10 ore has yet been regularly
mined in the California (the only ore
yet extracted came from drifts and cross
cuts) it was officially announced las
Thursday that the company will com
mence paying dividends next May, start
ing with 50 per share. They have in
sight sufficient ore to yield millions ever,
month for many years, providing the,
can find mills to crush it as fast as it i
taken out.
