Travel to the Bla ek Hills.

Jack Gilmer arrived from the Black
Hills on Monday evening, aud gives
quite a glowing account Of the future
of that country. He represents the
emigration as immense, the principal
travel coming from the East. He is
running two lines of stages; one from
Sydney, about 100 miles east of Chey-
enne. on the Union Pacific Railroad,
and the other from Cheyenne. Beth
routes are doing a splendid business,
and Jack purchased 200 head of horses
in Omaha to stock the road and double
the accommodations. Although dis
patching six coaches a day, the seats
are booked for a week ahead. Besides
the dangers from the hostile Sioux,
who are proving around i'm small
bands, the road agents are also well
represented. Jack gives quite a
graphic sketch of an encounter with
these gentry on the oath of March.
The STAGE for Cheyenne was stopped
by five mem, about two miles from the
town o. Daadwood, out in the timber
thrOup Ii when the road passes. They
made no demand for the treasure, but
simply turned loose with their shot
guns, killing the driver instantly, and
a passenger who sat beside him. Both
fell from their seats to the ground, and
the team run away at a furious rate,
turning back to town, where the stage
all right. The highwaymen
got no money or effects, nor had they
been ap~prehended when he left. Jack
thinks it would be q good country for
Eugene Blair, our intrepid messenger.

A BOOtblack's Fortune.

We chronicled some time ago the
good fortune of a bootblack who had
been adopted by Mr.. Joseph, of the
Golden Rule, and we are pleased to
learn that the boy is making the most
of his opportunities, he being one OF
the brightest and most attentive schol-
ars attending the public school. Anoth-
er sinner, by the name of Sproule,
who had fourished in Eureka during
the winter, has met with a similar
piece of good fortune. He left town
for Reno, and on arriving in that burg
found himself hungry and broke-his
normal condition. Seeking out the
most charitable looking individual in
sight, he solicited a temporary loan, to
be repaid by boot polishing. Some
thing in the boys face and at
tracted the gentleman's attention, and
after a few questions he pitched the
boys box into the street, took him to
a clothing store aud rugged him out in
a new suit complete, with hat, boots
and underclothes 10 match. From
thence he took the boy to a lunch
stand, the proprietor of which was or
dered to give him his regular meals
for a month. The same order given
at a lodging house completed the pro-
gramme, and Mr.. Maxwell, the gentle
mar who did this kind act, informed
his protege that if his conduct was
such as TO warrant it, at the end OF the
month he would permanently adopt
and take care of him in the future.
The little fellow is still on probation
and endeavoring to win the good opin-
ion of his benefactor.

BY the courtesy Of ID. III. Mckenzie
we CLEAN the following facts concern
ing the California mine: 1t is situated
on Prospect Mountain, near the Con-
molly, in New York Canyon, and has
been prospected through two shafts.
The upper has attained a depth of
$50 feet. A tunnel has been run into
the mountain, lower down, 80 feet, and
the main shaft sunk a depth of so feet
from the tunnel level. The upper
shaft is in a body of fine ore, and a
DRIFT will be run from the main shaft
that will strike the main body at n
much greater depth. There is every
indication of the permaRence and value
of the ore bodies found, and no doubt
the mine will develop into a fine min
ing property. Joseph Mendes IL Co.
are the owners of the mine.
