The Pacific Beard.

The old Board, owing to the death Of
an President, was not in session
yesterday. Just here we r reminded
to remark that the mortality among
brokers for the last year has been re-
i~narkably large. The telegraph tells
us that the bears had everything their
W way at The opening of the Pacific
Board. The ruling figures for some
at the leading stocks will be found
among our Coast dispatches. The
Eureka operators do not do business
with the Pacific, aud per consequences,
the quotations Of that Board are not
ielegraphed to this roint. The follow
ing partial list OF the transactions OF
the informal session of the Pacific is
furnished US by the Western Union
Telegraph Company for what it is
worth. The Pacific has never been
able to regulate the price of stocks, and
its quotations are therefore of but little
moment: California, 27A; Hale &
Norcross. AZ, AS; Imperial. s5c.;
Ophir, l41s; Best 4 Belcher, l44, 1875:
Gould Il Curry, 9H; Bullion. 4 90;
Caledonia, 3; Andes, 80.

NEW BOOKS.

Mr.. Charles Dehman, an old resi-.
dent of Eureka, and withal a very
worthy, industrious gentleman, is the
agent in Eureka county for several
standard works. Mr.. Dehman will be
remembered as the miner who, about
eighteen months ago, lost one of his
hands by the premature explosion of a
blast in a tunnel just south of Ruby
Hill. Persons desiring new books
should favor him with their orders in
stead of bestowing their patronage
upon cheeky drumming solicitors from
abroad.

Justices Court.

One Marlette, against whom a war
rant was sworn out some six months

chief in breaking down the doors of a
residence on Buel street, and who dis.
appeared to parts unkno wn after COM

The Bonanxa Mining Suit.

The arguments in the case of Geo.
w. Kinney ct ais. VS.. the Consolidated
Virginia Mining Company were began
last Saturday, before Judge Sawyer,
in the United States Circuit Court.
The testimony was all taken by dep
ositions before United States Com
missioner O'Beirne, commencing last
August, and ending in May, and is
contained in three volumes of nearly a
thousand printed pages. The interest
involved in this suit is valued at sew
eral millions OF dollars. The counsel
in the case are s. w. SandersoD, q.
Frank Smith, James Il. Boyd and w.
w. Crane, for plaintiff. and 5. NJ. Will
son, X. s. Mesick and c. j. Hillyer,
for the defendant.
A detailed ccount of tire suit has al
ready been published. Briefly stated,
the action is brought 10 reform a deed
executed in 1872. by Solomon Heyden-
feldt, to j. G. Flood, who assigned to
the Company for plaintiffs interest in
what was known as the Kinney Il
Welton claim, which is included in
the Consolidated Virginia ground.
The allegation is, that the plaintiff,
Kinney, gave power of attorney to
Heydenfeldt to sell. as he claims, two
feet only. and Heydenfeldt conveyed
all of Kinney's interest. Kinney is
we'll known in Eureka as the former
Mining Recorder of the district.

The Old Log Jail.

In the early days of Eureka, before
the county was organized, a log struc-
ture done duty asa calaboose, and fur
nished a place of confinement for the
dranks and petty offenders against
the law. On a certain occasion, Mute
Thacher and companion got on an
elaborate spree. in the course of which
they raised Cain down among the
dove cotes of the lower level, for which
exhibition of spirits they were duly
arrested, and confined in the aforesaid
calatoose. They Don sunk off i'm a
deep drunken repose, from which
they did not waken until late at night,
and then only aroused to the repeated
calls of a friend on the outside, who
passed an ak through a convenient
crack between the logs. 1t had been a
long time between drinks, aud the
boys feeling dry, soon demolished the
wooden doors, and shortly after made
their appearance in front of n down
town bar. The barkeeper expressed
some surprise at the fact of their be-
ing at liberty. Mute explained the
modus operdndi, displaying the ak to
the vendor of liquid lightning, and ~
Joined him, In the event of any in
quiries being made, to state that Mute
Thatcher, like George Washington,
could not tell a lie, and that he done it
with his little Ratchet" The next
day the boys paid the usual fine, and
nothing further was done in the pre-.
misses.

the Trim.

Clay Simms was engaged all of the
spare time yesterday in relating the
glories and delights OF his recent trip
over to Elko and along tie banks OF
the noble Humboldt. He persistently
fished the river, in search of the
speckled beauties that abound in that
stream, every day during his absence.
He got a great many GEOGRAPHICALLY
from the mosquitoes hat haunt that
section-and claims to have caught a
trout, but is reticent as to its size. He
betrays a suspicious knowledge of the
habits of certain Indians who came
into town with a string of fish every
evening, and his Elko friends claim
that he always dined on brain food
after their arrival.

ROuShS,

There is an immigration of roughs
and desperadoes into the southern part
of the State, most of them coming in
on the route leading from California.
The grass is very short for this gentry
over in the Golden State this year;
hence the exodus. Eugene Blair in
forms III that since the revival of bust
ness in Phoebe, a great many OF this
class referred to can be found at that
point. Eureka is singularly tree from
the gentry, either from a fear of our
vigilant officers or because that it is a
hard place to get away from after com
hitting any depredations. We hope
that the criminals will continue to give
us a wide berth.

Sturbance

A series of disturbances enlivened
the town yesterday afternoon, and at.
tracted crowds to the vicinity of the
sport. The first vas q little unpleas-
antness, engendered by the ~intricacies
and vexations Of the noble game OF
pedro, a disputed point starting the
affray, the argument passing from
the amicable 10 the heated, at which
stage OF the proceedings the lie passed,
and blows were interchanged. The
parties were soon separated, and a man
who had rushed frantically across the
street for the Coroner was hastily re-
called. As the drinks depended on
that particular game, Kellogg consid-
ers himself loser to the extent of one
dollar. Disturbance No. 2 also sprung
rom a perusal OF the DEVILS prayer
book, and resulted in a tumble over
the sidewalk, and one bitten finger.
The would-be cannibal arose from the
ground and proclaimed himself the
fighter par excellence of this section
OF the country, and then retired on
his laurels. Fight No. 3 was ascriba-
BILE to the same cause as the two
former, but hardly arose to the dig
nifty of a fight. The bystanders were
loud in their expressions of disgust at
the want of science displayed, and de-
scribed the r%encounter as an old
woman's scrapping match. There
was less than three gallons of gore
spilled in all of the encounters, and
for a wonder no one had an arm pulled
ont of joint in holding any of tie com
batants apart. No arrests.

Railroad Accident.

There was some kind of collision on
the Central Pacific Railroad night be-
fore last beyond Truckee. The acct
dent did not occur near a telegraph
office, and per consequence we have
been unable to get particulars. The
operators along the road, however, re-
port that as far as they are advised nc
lives were lost. The East bound train,
due at Palisade at $3.50 yesterday,
was twenty hours behind time,
which would seem to indicate
that the accident was a rather serious
one. The K. q p. train came through
as usual, but brought no mail from
the west. If nothing further goes
wrong, we will have a double mail
from that direction Tomorrow.
