LETTER FROM EUREKA.
Eureka, New. Dec. 10. 1877.


the c. P. r. r. we proceeded under the escort
of John Dennis. We have been worried in
our time, but seldom as much as on that trip.
He played us off for heavy bonanza stock
operator and then won horse pistol from an
emigrant on pedro. We found Paisade quiet.
Lawlor is still on hand with his huge shake.
We were cordially greeted but rapidly trans
ferred to the Eureka & Palisade Narrow Guage
Railroad. We paid our fare to General Hill
in the coin of the realm and stepped GU the
train like gorgeous aristocrats. The road is
little gem. They make better time on it than
on the Central Ed Rocker is the polite and
atfabe conductor and attended to our wants
as though we were magnates. We arrived on
time, $50 P. NJ Eureka is the most promis-
ing interior town in the State We beg par
don, it has never been called a city, but gives
more evidence of it than many which bear the
corporate title 1t has increased since we
were here year ago to a remarkable extent.
The principal increase of business is toward
the south, while the residences have COM
pletely the west hill. A resident thereof told
us it was Mob Hill. Business has revived and
merchants are feeling in good spirits. Mat
tiers have been somewhat depressed for some
months, but now the Eureka pulse beats ex-
ultant with joyous hope. To-day there has
been full partner to Washoe Zephyr blow
ing which prevented our visiting the mines or
Ruby Hill. The dust clouds are thick enough
TO ha Wo TO, ~ Il
when the wind moderates Pete Canavan
says this is the worst wind storm he has expe-
rienced since he was sutler in the war of
1912. He is right, for it is perfectly fearful.
Every thing is lively out here and the wind
hasn't rush equal to that of the camp.
THE COUNTY
affairs are in fourishing condition. We are
informed by the Auditor that there is no in
debtednes and all scrip (ncluding the pay
ment of jurors) is made in coin. This looks
every county in the State The District Court
its term to-day. Legal fraternity
in full force but not much business. Ship |
ments from here are lively, On Saturday |
went out, and the Eureka Consolidated ship
ped five cars to-day. They tell me this is an
ordinary occurrence. We believe it although |
our informant, P. c., is one of the greatest
liars on the continent. He may lie on gener-
aities, but facts is facts.
The RELIGIOUS ASPECT
Of things is in no whit in the back ground
They have Episcopal, Catholic, Presbyterian
and Methodist Churches. The latter is closed
At the former Parson Kelly preached on Sun
lay night and to the great surprise of the
congregation, Loomis of the Republican, went
% church. The first time he has attended in
wo years and has contributed for twenty.
He expressed himself as much edited and has
orsworn the Glove of money. Hereafter he
works for glory exclusively Speaking of
hurch: Tom Laspeare was taking Thanksgiv-
ne dinner with one of the resident pastors,
nd politely asked him as to whether he had
large congregation. He replied that the
congregation was large but they came with
mpty purses. The collection was lamentably
mall. Tom got to this point in celebrating
he fact of his being invited out to Thanks
living dinner when a bystander Clipped in
18th the remark: "Why he meant that for
GU. Every body in town knows you sponge
our religion" We did mt get the rest of the
tory, Tonight darkness covereth the =
arth,' but not ''gross darkness the people. !"
hey are rustling for candles in every direc-
on. Something is the matter with the Gas
Works and the glim is doused, where the 7
turner's are wont to flicker. The people who
urn coal oil are in the ascendency, for the s
resent, but even they tremble; for there is
coal oil famine on top of this. All the mer
lants are out of this necessary article and no
voices in sight, In such city as this how
'er the brilliancy will speedily dawn.
Yours, JUNKET. L
