The weather has been delightful since tho
snOw-storm ceased last Saturday. Warm,
sunny days, and such nice sleighing. 1t looks
more like spring than winter.
Alphabetical 7. P. r. Dimock, of Eureka,
arrived in town by Thursdays stage. Mr..
Dimock is an old-timer of Hamilton, and
comes over in connection with the Eberhardt
a1d Aurora Company's tunnel. He is a
skilled mechanic.
A letter from Maj. Henry, who is now in
New York, says his tunnel company has been
fully rcorga lied and will s. on be well fixed
and in condition to prosecute work on its
tunnel through Treasure Hill. He expects
to return at an early day and resume opera
tons.
The sale OF the Star mining property now
under execution at Cherry Creek, is post
poned to allow parties owning il to negotiate
with purchasers. The mine is of known
value, and has five times the amount Of its
indebtedness in sight.
The case of tho State VS.. John Spiker-aI-
legged assault on Miss McCrea was up in
Judge bush's Court last Wednesday. The
defendant demanded a jury trial, and the
seven true and tried peers failed to agree
",whether twas whisky or love got into his
head"
The Battle Mountain siege was about two
hours behind time yesterday morning, occa-
stoned by the severe snow-storm OF the night
before -Reveille.
oh, that's nothing, noighbor. Our Eureka
and Phoebe stages are sometimes a couple of
days behind time, and no storm, either.
The Ebeehardt mill was shut down yoster-
day, after n very successful run OF over eight
months. During this period there were but
few stoppages-neyer more than a couple OF
days at a time. 1t is now shut down for the
winter, and we understand is to undergo n
complete overhalling.
In our issue Of the 18th instant we gave the
total bullion product of the Eberhardt and
Aurora Company for the year 1876 at $780,
$50 Ga, but W. are informed by Mr.. McCon-
key, Wells, Fargo * Co.'S agent here, that
| another shipment made this month, which
should properly be included in last years
product, makes tho total 5000 900.
An insane man, who says his namo is
Abram Boman, was brought to the County
Jail on the 18th instant by officer Holmes, of
Ward. He claims to DO from st. GATHERINGS
or Niagara Falls, imagines himself the owner
of the universe, and has be n travelling for
400 years, spending ten quadrlllons OF
money-in fact is away up in fgures-and
owns ten billions of horses In this State. He
will probably have to be sent to Woodbridge.
The Eherhardt and Aurora Company dis
charged some thirty-fiye men fron their mines
on Treasure Hill last Saturday. Only a sutti-
cient force to push the incline and those em-
ployed on the were retained. This is to
be regretted, more particularly as every one
expected tho company would keep on a full
force all winter. Many Of the discharged
men left this week for Eureka, Austin and
other localities.
By private letter received from Ward we
are informed that the mill Of the Martin
White Company is in successful operation,
and the mines are looking splendid, produe-
ing the usual amount of high grade ore
Good for Ward. We sincerely hope that the
enterprlsing men who are doing so much
there may be amply rewarded. Tho same
letter states that the snow is eight inches
deep, and pay day won come till the l5h OF
February, which makes the average miners
purse strings tighten, and correspondingly
dull times are anticipated until that date.
The Phoebe Record is to hand and disclaim:
any intention Of removing to Ward, AS ha,
been reported. After expressing confidence
in the future of Phoebe, il says: 1--WE have nc
intention of moving the Record anywhere just
now; it is not so easily choked off as many
suppose, but will be here when times i'm
prove, or until there is nothing left worth
staying for, which is not likely to occur"
