Several times the project of having a
telegraphic connection between Ruby
Hill and Eureka has been agitated
Some weeks since a wire was run
from the Western Union office on
Main street, to the store of Doctor
Shultz on Ruby Hill. and is now in
fine working order. The line is now
being used for the convenience of a
few private citizens, but We under
stand an application has been made to
the Western Union Company, to allow
it to be thrown open for public use. If
this is granted it will soon prove a
self-sustaining institution, and by it
many a trip can be saved tn and from
the two places. Merchants at Ruby
Hill can send their orders to the stores
here; citizens can order a bill of goods,
and superintendentS of mines can
send their orders tn their former with
u being Obliged to ride up to the
Hill 10 attend 70 some little business.
That can be as we'll arranged by a few
words over the wires. Doctor Shultz
is the operator on Ruby Hill. and the
instruments in use are of the style
that receive messages on a narrow
moving paper ribbon, the signs used
to represent letters being produced
thereon by a STEEL point attached to
one end of the lever, at the end OF
which Is a movable arnIature. The
instruments are of the Morse patent
and work % a charm. We hope that
this application CT those who started
the line, to have it thrown open for
public use, will be granted.

"THE DREARY WINTER,

Thus far the winter of 1857 has
been a remarkably moderate for
Nevada, having recorded less severe
storms of snow or rain than any Of its
predecessors since 1862. To what par
ticular atmospheric, or other ruling
agent, save the inscrutable DEGREES of
that Divine Providence which stem
pers the wind to the shorn lamb" we
are to attribute this unusual climatic
clemency, il still beyond Il sure conclu-
sion. OF one thing we are certain,
however, and that is that the real ben
fits accrning from a delightfully."- mod
crate winter season, with storms cut
out and sunshine left in the caleud,r.
are far greater to u people generally
than any damage that may have re-
suited or will accrue to the mining
population from it. Notwithstanding
that this section of the country has
no been visited so frequently as usual
by the "white. footed angels" from
the region OF snow and ice, still, near
y all that nave come have arrived at
such favorable times that they have
taken up permanent quarters in Il
timbered mountains and CANYONS, and
it will be long past the sultriest days
Of summer ere they will leave US
through our mountain streams in a
pathway trickling with their W
bright tears. In other, and possibly
more comprehensive, language, the
present fall OF snow in the mountains,
with what we shall get later in the sea
son, will be amply sufficient for all
our needs as a mining cOmmunity,
and from the present agreeable out
look the mining season Of 1877 bids
fair to be as fully freighted with profit
atle results ~ any that has been ex.
perienced for years. Through all
This long and deary. weary winter"
our people have been really happy
and reasonably prosperous. The
wood-piles of the poor have looked
unusually plump and cherry, and
their humble homes have no doubt
welcomed this flood of winter sun
shine as an especial dispensation in
their immediate direction; while very
few of our bachelor battalion have
been obliged to 20 over to the camp of
Benedict in order to supply their def
cheney in blankets. So, with all these
comforting facts before them, the un
fortunate multitude who disconsolate-
ly dwell beyond inviting gates
may know that Eureka is still happy.
