Mineral Hill.

A correspondent from Mineral Hill
informs us of the utter stagnation pre-
vailing at that place. Captain Plum
mer, Superintendent OF the English
Company's mill and mines, is patient
ly awaiting orders from London be-
fore commencing operations. The
ch%loriders are busy getting out ore and
working their claims. j. b. Ayres
Jour Bony) has been appointed Super
intendent of the Cold Turkey mine,
and his well-known ability will no
doubt put the affairs of the company
OF a satisfactory basis. The principal
topic of conversation at the Hill, for
the past month, has been the Eureka
mining suit, and many speculations
and s%urinises are INDUCED in as to the
final decision. Judge Smith, whose
opinions carry extra weight by reason
of his legal attachments and judicial
position, gives 1t as his judgment,
that the other side will win" which
is accepted as a very learned, but
rather confusing view of the case.

A Refreshing storm.

For a week past the dark clouds
have lowered over the Diamond and
Cortez ranges of mountains, and
storms in the immediate vicinity have
prevailed, but this portion of the coun-
try has escaped the benefits of the rain.
Yesterday, however, was an exception.
A heavy cloud came up from the west.
and sbowered its contents down upon
The parched earth, much to the salts
faction of a dust. burdened community.
The de%ep-toned thunder and vivid
flashes of lightning was accompanied
by a d%renching shower, and the cutters
ran full of the liquid element. The
storm lasted about an hour, and after
its cessation a torrent of water came
pouring down the big ditch, out o!
Goodwin and New York canyons,
cleansing and purifying that receptacle
of filth and rubbish. Quite a respecta-
BILE stream coursed through Bateman
street, threatening at one time to in
undate the Court house, but the dan
ger was averted by some public-spirit.

Mrs. Dixon was free yesterday fol
the space Of ten hours. She left tho
Jail jubilant at regaining her liberty.
and it was with glad hearts that the
officials swung back the iron doors
and invited her to step forth into the
light of day. This female terror has a
habit of making it very uncomforta-
bic for those who come within reach OF
her tongue, and she has exercised that
organ with all due effect, rendering
life almost unbearable for tue ball
ance of the prisoners who were unfor-
tunate enough to DO compelled TO share
her captivity. And so it was that
when the term of her sentence expired
the officials felt hat they were freeing
themselves from an incubus, and the
prisoners rejoiced in the thought that
peace and quietude would reign within
the walls OF the Jail once more. Vain
hope! Scarcely had the irrepressible
female gained the street before she
commenced loading up with a supe-
rio article of benzine, and by three
o'clock in the afternoon she had a full
head of steam on and was ready for
active operations. Selecting the side
walk of the American Exchange as a
platform, she started in on a TRADE of
abuse and vociferous declarations
that drew an admiring crowd to listen
to her impromptu efforts and gratitied
her vicious instincts. A round of ap-
plause greeted every choice morsel of
blackguardism, and the exhibition
was kept up until the appearance of
officers Mckay and Livingstone, who
each grabbed an arm and led the wo-
man of toward the Jail. She marched
peaceably for a short distance and
then started in to resist further pro-
gress. She fought, bit, tore, screeched,
spat in their faces, and made herself
generally obnoxious, but was dragged
by main force to the Jail door and de-
livered over to Under Sheriff Nelson,
who politely requested her to enter
the premises. She done SO after be-
slowing a few tender endearments on
Joe, abstracting a few handfuls of his
flowing beard, and scratching him
with the ferocity of a tiger-cat. The
prisoners who had been happy during
her absence were plunged in deep dis
pair at her temperance, and are seri-
ously contemplating suicide or some
other desperate remedy for the inflic-
ton. The woman is incOrrigible, and
there seems to be no means of re-
straining her tempetuous DISPOSE
ton. imprisonment has no terrors
for her, and it looks as if the town had
an elephant on its hands without any
possibility of getting rid of it.

Mighty Hunters.

Messrs. Bartlett and German left on
Monday last for a trip 10 Cortez Dis
trict, and as they are both ardent de-
voices of the dog and gun, of course
took their shooting implements along
with them. Their resting place for the
night was at Wells ranch, and in the
cool of the evening both sailed out in
search of game. Bartlett was rewatd-
ed by the stirring up of a flock of sage
hens, seven in number. He raised
his Parker to position, and blazed
away without the formalIty of taking
aim, and was rewarded for his shot by
bringing down five out of the seven
To say he was astonished at his re-
markable success. is but a faint ex-
preston of his feelings. He had the
presence Of mind, however, to recover
his balance by the thine that his COM
panion came up, and assumed an air
of nonchalance, as If such incidents
were of every day occurrence in his
hunting career. After this, when
hunting forms the topic of onversa
ton, MIR. Bartlett may be expected to
drop a casual remark in reference to
that wing shot at Wells ranch.

Waiting for the Verdict.

A feature of our big mining suit is
the confidence with which each side
went into and came out of the fight.
Most of the partisans of the respective
companies have returned from the
Bay. When you meet a Richmond
man and ask him about the chances of
the suit, he is sure to answer you,
Overwhelming, sir; the testimony
was overwhelming for side; the
Eureka hasn't a ghost Of a show to
win; the only wonder is that the
Court did not give us a verdict from
the bench" You naturally think that
it is a pretty clear case that the Rich
mond is going to win, and you keep on
thinking so until you run up against a
Consolidated man. That's when you
will get the pipe vein enthusiasms
shaken out of you. The Consolidated
man opens by telling you that ''There
is not a particle of doubt about it; the
other side didn't bulge us; their de-
Tense was a total failure; every body in
San Francisco is our way; the
Judges would have given us the ver-
dict right away, only, l suppose, they
lille courtesy" And then You spin
along and get badly muddled as to
whether you had better bet your bot
tom dollar on the plaintiff or defend
ant. 1t is a fixed fact that somebody is
going to be terribly fooled about that
verdict next Monday.

A Cabinet.

Rueb Eggleston, the genial express
man, has at his private residence one
Of the finest cabinets in Nevada. He
has been collecting it for a number of
years, and the ores comprise specimens
from every district in Nevada, and
some very fine gold bearing quartz
from California. In selecting his cab
met, Rueb has looked more to the
richness of the ores than to the fact of
their being handsome specimens, and
in this way his collection has become
very valuable. Rock assaying $4,000
per ton is common, and many of the
pieces are permea,ed with pure silver,
plainly visible TO the eye. The Cabinet
includes some of the original Eber-
hsrdt and other White Pine ores,
quartz from the Yankee Blade, Whit
latch, Manhattan and other famous
Austin mines, and, in fact, choice selec.
tons from all parts of the Silver State.
A detailed description of its beauties
would occupy too much space, but we
advise those who are interested in min
erlolugy to ask Rueb for a sight at his
rich collection.

An Old Timer.

w. G. Mccoy, an old timer on the
Base Range, and one Of the first loca.
tors of mining ground in Eureka Dis
trict, came up from San Francisco on
Monday evenings train on a visit to
his old stamping ground. Mr.. Nc
Coy was one of the original owners in
the Champion and Buckeye claims,
which property he bonded and after
ward sold to Messrs. Buel & Bateman.
In conversation with our reporter yes
ter day, he gave quite a graphic descrip-
ton OF the early struggles and uncer-
taintics of the pioneers of the district.
Capitalists and miners knew but very
little about smelling pres, and the de-
posts in this vicinity We're ironically
termed lead mines. Major Mccoy
had erected a small furnace, and every
thing hinged on the experiment Of re-
duction proving successful. The mine
wne bad no capital, but they all
stood in with the Major, going into
the hills TO cut wood for his use, back
ing up the coalburners and furnishing
ores for reduction at the furnace. That
II was a success is a matter of history.
Capital flowed in, and the immense
and rich deposits on Ruby Hill o o
attracted population and built up a
lively town in the canyon. Mr.. Me
Coy left Eureka after disposing of his
interests and embarked his capital in
the stock business on the Humboldt
ranges. The severe winter of 1874 de-
pleted his herds, and. selling out, he
removed to San Francisco, since which
lime he has been interested in several
large mining enterprises. He was an
interested listener at the late mining
suit between the Eureka Consolidated
and Richmond Companies. The prop
erty that himself and partners sold for
a few thousands is now worth millions
Of dollars and the subject OF one OF the
greatest legal mining battles on record.

written confession, and his history of
the great iniquity from its inception to
the present time. The writer of this
notice has personally known Joe
Smith, Hiram Smith, both of the
Pratts, Sidney Rigdon and Orson
Hyde, and can well recall the insidu-
u advances toward polygany before
poiygamy was openly practiced. 1t is
a book which should be in the hands
oil every citizen and translated into the
languages OF Europe, whence most of
their dupes are dra wn to-day. Chas.
Dehman IS agent for Eureka county,
and as the book can only be had by
subscription, our citizens should aid in
circulating a work calculated TO cast
light upon the worst evil which civil
lzation has met in the last century.
The work contains about 400 pages,
profusely illustrated with portraits of
leading Mormons, scenery, etc, and
should be in the library of every man
on the Coast. Mr.. Dehman will per-
