PRESENT SITUATION OF THE MINES.

me lawsuit. The mining litigation
commenced in January last, aud has
dragged its slow length along for the
past seven months, the legal proceed
ings involving injunction and counler
injunction, removal from State to the
United States Court, suspension of op-
erations at the mines and furnaces,
and inausurating a season OF dull
times at a period when the prospects OF
the district, both as to the %perinanence
of the mines andihs exient of tie rich
ore in sight, were better than at any
time since the discovery of the lode.
The giving out of the deposits could
have been borne with less i'm patience,
possibly, for i'll That case the migratory
population would have sought some
other field for their labor, and the BUSH
ness men have trimmed their sails
with reference To the future; but, as the
ease has stood since the beginning of
the year, we have been, like fantalus,
with prosperity almost within reach,
and nothing to- intervene but the con-
test for the disputed property the
EMULATION and rejoicing 0u The streets
yesterday was probably due to the
feeling that the great incubus had
been removed, and no matter what the
future proceedings will be, there
is no longer any obstacle to- the ex-
traction OF the rich ores on RUBY Hill,
and the commencement of extended
operations at the smelling furnaces.
ON IL STREETS.
The interest of the psople in the de-
cision was mantle sted alta early hour,
by the gathering of crowds in the vi
cinity of The telegraph offices, and the
anxious and oft repeated inquiry as to
whether any news had cpue. Light
ming, for once, seemed IA slow institu-
ton, and many surinises were in-
dulged in as TO the length of Judge
Fields opinion. and what it would be
when rendered. Shortly after Il
o'clock the words came flashing owe
the wires that Eureka wins" and in
stantly a scene of wild excitement en-
sued. The word was passed from
mouth To- mouth, and the whole
population poured into the street,
all gazing in the direction OF the Con
sOliiated works for confirmation OF
the Intelligence. In a few minutes the
flag was run up ON the staff over the
Consolidated Office and the whistle
turned loose at the furnace. Anvils
were brought out from Crowell's
blacksmith shops, and their reports
added tn the din thai prevailed at the
north end of town. The crowd natu-
rally g%ravitaled toward the works, and
joining the workrnen, who had bank
ed the furnaces, drank deep draughts

vided for their especial benefit lay The
company. At a later period num-
TIER of cases of wine were @ II to the
office, and Captain Hubberd. cCn>ti-
tutiug himself master of ceremonies,
dispensed to the throng bumpers of
champagne until the supply was ex-
hausted.
THE SITUATION.
The works of the rival companies,
situated as they are, one at the ex.
IRENE northern and The other at the
extreme southern end of the bounda-
ries of Eureka, naturally prejudices
those who own real estate or carry on
business in favor of the company from

whose properly the proximity of the
works gives an added value, and in
this light it was but natural that the
residents of North Main street should
give vent to feelings of e%Xultalion,
while the deniZens of South Main
street should feel correspondlngly de
pressed. While the decision may have
this temporary effect, we have no iear

near future be- in full blast again.
There il plenty of ore still in the mine
outside OF the disputed ground, and
the company will no doubt vigorous
ly prosecute developments in that di-
reward their efforts. IL is a val
uabls property, and will always
continue one OF the leading mines
OF the great Eureka lode. On the Eu-
reka side the immediate effects OF the
decision will be more noticeab bic. a
full force of men will I've employed at
the mine, and the two idle furnaces
will start up at once As the company
j. nov free to extract ores from the
disputed grounds, the ninth and tenth
levels will be the scene of busy work
for The next year. and that portion OF
the nun will add It's quota TO the hui
lion product. The injunction against
the Eureka covered ali the orc bodies
on the ninth and tenth levels, forbid
ding the company from extracting any
ore from the ground, but allowing
1t TO continue prospecting. In the
course of their explorations they have,
on the tenth level, run a drift into the
richest body of ore ever found in the
mine. They have penetrated this o-

and both drift aud cross. cuts are still
in ore of very high grade. BY the de,
cision the injunction on this ground is
removed, and the ore remains the prop
erty of the Consolidated. As stated
above, Stopping and extracting will
commence at once, and will be prosecu
ted up TO the full capacity OF the fIrna
ces. 1t is probable that the OUTPUT
will reach l,500 tons per week. anc
there is ore enough in sight to warrant
