EUREKA CONSOLIDATED.

Eureka Consolidated Company to the
San Francisco Office on Saturday last

must be a most encouraging document
tothe stockholders in that property. Tn,
mine is literally teeming with ore from
the fifth to the tenth level, and the ore
body extends indefinitely downward,
at least no signs of Its diminution in
that direction have been as yet observed
The quantity in sight is enough to keer
the four furnaces now running in on.

If no further developments are made,
aud when it is tax en- into consideration
that the limit Of the deposits have not
been reached in any direction, it will
be seen that no property OF the Coast
has q brighter future in store. The
following report is a proof of our state
ments
EUREKA, Sept. %. 1877.
Operations at the mine during the
past week have resulted In strengthen
ing the opinion as 10 the merits Of the
various ore bodies upon which work is
being prosecuted. The Developments
in these ore bodies seem but to prove
the deposits to be of great magnitude
and unknown extent, with sufficient
work already done to guarantee a con.
tinued ore supply for the full smelling
capacity Of the company for a number
~ s.nafba 70 an, WITH ithaca o,,l.v,
deposits improving as developed, and
the encouraging prospects in other di
rections, l think there is no reason To
doubt the continued prosperity of the
company as above stated.
The fifth and seventh levels are MAX
ing splendid developments, and there
are good prospects OF the other levels
developing equally as well when the
same fnoun Of work has been done
upon them.
The ore dumps are kept filled to re.
pletion, both at the mine and at the
furnaces, there having been extracted
l $50 ton OF ore during the week, of
which amount 300 o have been de
livered and reduced at the furnaces,
yielding sos ,S65 pounds of bullion, or
4011 tons per day, Of somewhat higher
grade than the previous week, as is
shown by the assay certificates for
warded daily. This product is from
three furnaces two days and four fur
naces five days. The ore is of a better
grade than formerly. as a proportion of
that being received comes from the
tenth level and carries a higher per-
centage OF precious metals, though a
lower rate of lead than the levels
above, but containing a sufficient
amount of lead to make them good
smelling ores.
The furnaces are running splendidly.
as the above results indicate, doing
full as we'll AS could be desired.
The third level drift is being ad-
vanced with no developments to re
port. All of the other levels in which
work is being done look first rate and
have improved throughout.

in; but the next multitude did not encour-
age him, for they were the noble army OF
martyrs. He could not go with them, nor
wave their palm branches. He waited still
and saw that the next was a company OF
godly ministers and officers Of Christian
churches but he could not go with them.
AT last, as he walked, he saw a larger host
than all the rest put together, marching and
singing most melodiously; and in front
walked the woman that was a sinner and
the thief that died upon the cross, hard by
the Saviour; he looked long, and saw there
such as Manasseh and the like; and when
they entered he could see who they were,
and he thought: "There will be no shout
ing about them" But to his astonishment,
it seemed as if all heaven was rent with sew
enfold shouts as they passed in And the
angel said to him: These are they that
are mighty sinners, saved by mighty grace"
And then he said Blessed be God |
can 90 in with them" And so he awoke.
Blessed be God you and I, too, can go in
with that company. | cannot hope to go in
anywhere but with that company. Such is
my own sense of how ! expect to enter
heaven, and we will go together, brother SIN
ner, or sister sinner, trusting in the precious
blood, and washed in the blood Of the Lamb.

people of place form an association and
meet weekly for mutual enjoyment and men
tai cultivation. They will have an organi-
cation of some sort, for though nothing is
helped by too much machinery, nothing
succeeds which is not managed by some
cooperative ability. They will select
president, a secretary, and other officers, and
they will have their committees for music,
for literature, and for business. Such band
of young people will find many ways in
which they can improve themselves, and in
which they can have good times. They will
have essays, debates, musical soirees, and
festive reunions in each others homes. They
will so use the winter that they will feel
that solid gains have been accumulated when
it has passed away. In the home circle games
and innocent diversions may be encouraged.
The family who love music will find in it
never-failing source Of interest The cabinet
organ and the piano are blessings to- many a
household Once and for ALL let me urge on
the heads of families the benefcence of light,
plenty OF light, these winter evenings. Econ
omize where you will, but do not cut off the
supply of gas or kerosene. Gloomy, vault
like living-rooms, passages through which
you grope in the dark are wonderful helpers
of Satan. Light the great lamp and let its
cheerful beams scatter the shadows from
hearts as well as walls. Bring in the nuts
and apples, or the basket of spice-cakes, be-
fore the evening is over. The act of eating
in common has always charm about it,
and the coming in of refreshments usually
does away with stiffness in the stiffest Of
social parties. As years pass on and family
circles are broken and scattered, the remem-
brance of happy times at home will be very
delightful. In Whittier's lovely pastoral
Snow-bound,' nothing is more beautiful
than his description of one and another who,
sitting by the radiant fire, told stories of
childhood or of wild adventure. Life goes
on, and we drift apart but the thought of
hearthstone where father and mother, aunts |
and uncles, friends and neighbors met, will |
shine like a star over its desert places. Every
household is in a certain sense pioneer, |
even though it exist in a close crowded city |
street. 1t can go out and make ways of its |
own The pattern it sets will be repeated |
and improved upon, perhaps on the other
side of the globe. Nohome lives only for itself |
1t lives for humanity The evenings you
and your children spend this winter may set |
things in motion which will go on, and on,
and on, till the books are opened before the |
great white throne eabove.-Christian at Work |

The Shining Hosts.

| have read, says Spurgeon, of one who
dreamed dream, when in great distress of
mind, about religion. lie thought he stood
in the outer court of heaven, aud he saw
glorious host marching up, singing sweet
hymns, and bearing the banner of victory !;
and they passed by him through the gate,
and when they vanished he heard in the dis.
tance sweet strains of music, "Who are
they 7" he asked "They are the goodly
fellowship of the prophets who have gone
to be with God" And he heaved deep
sigh as he said, "Alas | am not one Of
them, and never shall be, and cannot enter
there" By-and-by there came another band,
equally triumphant, and robed in white.
They passed within the portals, aud again
We're shouts of welcome heard within,
"Who are they ?" "They are the goodly
fellowship of the apostles" ALAS" he
said, A" | belong not to that fellowship, and
cannot enter there" lie still waited and
fingered, in the hope that he might yet go

Praying and Working.

Too many praying people content them
selves with the mere act of praying. They
seem TO think they discharge their whole
duty by praying regularly for themselves
and Others without doing anything to secure
the results they seek. To suit their prefer
ence and practice, certain well known text
should read, Pray out your own salvation
with fear and trembling, while God and
others do all the work." They pray for
personal spiritual blessings, but do not labor
to cultivate the graces they seek Their
prayers for the conversion of others are ac-
coinpanied by no word of exhortation to seek
the Lord and by no gifts for the dissemina-
tion of that gospel which is the only means for
the conversion of the world. Their prayers
for the poor and needy" are inversely pro-
portioned to their efforts to relieve them, re-
minding one of the old colored woman, who
always sang most voclferously, Fly abroad
mighty gospel" with her eyes shut, when
the missionary box was being passed. 1t is
astonishing with what small investments in
practical benevolence some people manage
to maintain very large pretensions to piety
and sympathy for the poor. True, their
prayers are somewhat stereotyped, and are
neither etfectual nor fervent, but they con-
tinue to repeat them in public and private,
ana lay tHe HdlleIlhB unct,On 10 lntlf
souls " that in doing this and nothing more
they are pious and acceptable to God, for
getting that it is written, work out your
own salyation," and "in every nation he
that feareth God aud worketh righteousness
is accepted of Him." Except, perhaps, upon
dying bed, there is no such thing as
righteousness separate from good works.
There certainly can be no availIng prayer
no prayer of faith unless it is accompanied
with activity in every good word ana work.
Faith without works is dead, being alone"
Christ is our example in praying and work
ing. lie prayed without ceasing and he
worked as constantly. He "went about
doing good. His whole life was one of CON
stant intercession and activity for the good
of others. Wherefore, praying is essential.
We can hardly pray too much But the re-
ligion of Christ is something more than
prayers, An apostle Of this religion was ac-
customed to say, "My Bible reads pure re-
ligion, and undefiled before God the Father
is this, TO visit the widow and the fatherless
in their afiliction, with a market basket of
provisions for them, and keep myself un-
spotted from the world" Accordingly,
whenever he went to pray with aud comfort
certain families in his parish he always car
ried them basket well filled with "the meat
that perisheth," by way OF introduction TO
his spiritual strations.-MehOdist

In-DOOr Pleasures.

These winter evenings ought to be made
attractive in our homes. We cannot conf
IDENTIFY expect that the boys and girls will de-
light in their own domicles if life there be
dull, monotonous, and humdrum. The older
people may, most OF all, enjoy the oppor-
tunity for repose and quiet which the long
evenings bring, but the young shear the
days before them," and the tumult of their
lives, and they cannot be satisfied to sit still
and dream. In many things the parents of
young ladies aud gentlemen ought to con-
tinue the practice of the same kinds of self
sacrifice which were easy when the young
ladies and gentlemen were babies in arms.
Not now can the mother gather them close
to her bosom and kiss away all their troubles
The father can no longer lift and carry these
grown-up children over all the rough places
TO which they come Trials, temptations
great evils they must meet aud face alone,
but for the help which frail mortality re-
ceives only from God. Still, in this critical
period of their being there is much that pa
rents can do to guide the younger ones and
facilitate their progress. One great safeguard
around AN immature life is a happy nome,
do not mean one which is a mere negation,
but a home that has emphasis, color, tone,
sprightlness, and an air of being alert aud
alive. Something going on, something in
which everybody can share, is an immense
benefit TO the eager lad or lass, who has be-
gun TO pine for the stimulus OF more excit-
ing pleasures than the daily round of living
imparts. A craving for constant excitement
is, of course, morbid and unwholesome,
and is apt TO be followed by WEAKNESS and
disgust But spice of innocent fun is like
the flavor in cake. 1t redeems the mass
