Mineral Hill.

Captain Plummer, of Mineral Hill
[by the way. we sent the gentleman
home yesterday morning, but he re
futed the truth of our item by over
sleeping himself and remaining anoth-
or day with usl, informs us that work
has been resumed. under his direction,
on the English Company's mines, and
that be has a force OF men at work in
that portion known AS the Queens
tunnel, an adit driven some 800 feet
under a former regime. The Captain,
who is a very accomplished mineralo :
gist. and has had a vast amount of
mining experience, is of the opinion
that the work will result in the OPEN
ing of a large body of ore, the IN
dications being quite favorable al the
present time. He has also renewed
the policy that formerly obtained. and
has leased on shares a portion OF tn 9
company's ground tn the hardy min
ers, who are active in the pursuit OF
hidden %bonanzas. About 80 men are
busy at work, and the Hill has as
sumed a very cheerful and lively as
pect. If Manager Plummer Is success
full in his efforts, and developments
justify the step, it is probable that the
the mill will resume operations 10 the
near future.

The WILLOWS.

Harvey Carpenter, the present pro
prietor of the Willows Hotel and
track. is making some permanent and
substantial improvements at the house
aud grounds. and under his able man
agement the place will no doubt be-
come a very popular resort. A drive
of a few miles v a good road brings
Z to the premises, and a half an
hours sojourn breaks up the monoto-
ny of tie trip. Pleasure-seekers, and
our bellies and beaux, who indulge in
an afternoons drive. will appreciate
the comforts of this pleasant stopping
place. On Sunday next a notable race
will take place, and those Two cele-
brated runners, Coalourner and Crazy
Jane, will try conclusions in a quarter
race for a wager of $500 a side. Sport
ing men are divided in their opinions
as to the merits of the horses, and a
large amount of outside coin is pend
ing on the result. Mr.. Carpenter is
considering the propriety OF inaugu-
rating other a-NuseiDents, such as
pigeon and turkey shooting matches,
target shooting and other popular
sports. We are confident that his ef-
forts will moi only contribute TO the
enjoyment of our town people, but will
also prove profitable to himself.

Professor HoImes.

Professor Holmes lectured at Bige-
lows Hall last evening. choosing for
his subject, "Phrenology." A large
audience was In attendance. and were
universally pleased with the Profess
sor's discourse. He Is a very able and
talented lecturer, and holds The atten.
ton OF his auditors by his flow Of elo-
quent and pleasing language. His IL.
l~ustrAtions are apt, and well chosen.
and although n may differ with him
as to his conclusions, no one who has
listened to him will deny that he pre-
sents his conclusions forcibly, and
with telling effect. The Professor an
nounces in another column that he
will give charts and private examina-
tons at his rooms I'm the Eureka
Lodging House. Call on him and as

Threatened Mining Litigation.

There was q threatened mining war
at Mineral Hill the other day. that for
a time promised to rival the celebrated
dispute between the Eureka Console.
dated and Richmond Companies. Two
companies, who were driving tunnels
in close proximity. and each following
a rich streak OF ore, broke into each
others workings. Both claimed the
deposit, and were ready to prove to the
satisfaction OF every n that they were
correct in their position. For q time a
lawsuit seemed to- be imminent, and a
legal battle OF vast proportions was
about to be inaugurated. Better conn-
sci finally prevailed, and it was decided
to settle the dispute by arbitration. A
board was selected, and all the mining
experts thar and thar'abouts" we're
called on for their opinions. One of
the auditors informs US that the
amount of expert lore developed was
something astonishing. The geologi-
cal formation OF the hill. strike, dip,
angle and Nurse of the vein, trend OF
the country rock, faults. d~islocaIions.
ore depositiOns, and other intricate
mining problems were aired and testi-
fed to until the arbitrators. in despair,
incontinently squelched the witnesses.
After sending for Van Cotta's treatise
on Mineral Veins" and thumbing a
copy of "Dans's Elements of Geology
until il was iIlegible, they rendered u
decision that each party was entitled
to one.half of the ore product. and
both companies, wisely aequiescing IN
the verdict, now work amicably side
by side.

has been stepping pretty high and
looking more than ordinarily conse-

to account for it was the mystery that
disturbed his numerous friends. Some
thought he had struck a never falling

conjectured that he had discovered a
