LONDON, July Q, 1877.
The Herald correspondent in Vienna
telegraphs that trustworthy iDforma-
ton has been received from Turkish
sources that the Turks are devastating
a large portion Of Bulgaria for the pur-
pose of preventing the Russians from
provisioning their army. The harvest
has been carried off. the fruit trees
have been felled and the torch has
been applied to the large grass plains.
Everything that could be of any use
to an invading army has been removed
or destroyed and the people are left in,
utter destitution. The utmost coneter--
nation prevails among the unfortunate
people who see no prospect before.
them but famine and pestilenee added,
to the horrors of war,
sIeNIFiANCE OF THE MEASURE
This measure clearly indicates the
intention Of the Turks to abandon the
line of the Danube, holding on to
Rustchuk and Silistria as long as posi-
BILE and to fall back to the Balkans.
They see clearly their inability to
stem the tide OF Russian invasion and
that one or two decisive battles must.
place Bulgaria at the mercy of the
Gear. They know that the Bulgarian
population will flock en- masse TO the
Russian standard, and this is their re-
venge. they look on the Czar's pro-
lclamation as an incitemeDt to BulgarS
ian insurrection, and anticipate riS-
ing as soon as the Russians advance
from the river. The Bulgarians might
as we'll die fighting like men for their
liberty as perish miserably of hunger
in their homes.
ANOTHER BATTLE AT sooKoCM KALKH.
Fazli Pacha telegraphs to Constan-
| tinople from Sookoum Kaleh that the
Turks. having landed at Tchamdjari
and commenced to erect entrench-
ments, were on June 27 attacked by
1900 Russians. Both sides were sub
1o4uSntly IcIuiOlCtui thC uihieh ASin
forcements arriving by sea from Ba-
Itoum. ,s
The Turks, with the assistance of iron
c1ads, routed the Russians with the loss
of 1000 killed and 1000 wounded. Nine
ty Turks were killed and 2SO wounded.
A telegram from the commander OF the
feet confirms the foregoing, but the
proportion of losses on the two sides is
evidently misrepresented.

Duckwater.

Judge Mckinney and Lambert Mol
incl returned last evening from a trip
TO Duckwater and Current creek.
Lambert enthusiastically describes the
acres OF waving corn and green fields
that delight the eve in thai locality,
and describes II as Gods osn country.
The water cases that are a bone OF con-
tentiOn 10 the honest farmers OF Duck
water, was the occasion of the trip, the
Judge wishing 10 personally acquaint
himself with the ground and the course
and volume of the different streams.
One case has already been tried before
his Honor, but the briefs have not as
vet been submitted. The other suit,
involving the water furnished by the
warm springs, will be commenced al
the next term of court. On their return
to Eureka they encountered the effects
OF the recent storms, the roads bearing
evidence Of having been badly washed
and damaged 10 such an extent as to
impede travel in that direction. In
Fish Creek valley a broad aud shallow
lake, some miles in circumference, has
been formed by the deluge of water
that fell in that region. The full force
of the storm seemed TO have expended
itself on the southern side of the Pinto
range.

Lake District.

We yesterday met Superintendent
Bulfnch, of the Eldora and Maston
mines, in Lake district, about three
and one-half miles west of Ward City.
He informs us that the Eldora has a
tunnel in three hundred feet, running
for the ledge, and that they expect to
strike il in about thirty feet further dis
lance. They have also sunk a n incline
near the mouth OF the tunnel that
shows about seven or eight feet of ore
that assays $40 per o II The Scorpion
mine, situated about One-quarter of a
mile west of the Eldora, is showing a
large body of rich milling ore, and is
developing into a fine property. All
of the ores in the district are free mill
ing, and the camp never looked better
than al present. Mr.. Buifinch goes
TO San Francisco to make arrange
ments to erect a mill. The great want
of the district is milling facilities. He
has with him and showed to us some
very rich gold specimens from Osceola
district. He has a very high opinion
of the gold quartz mines discovered in
that region, and thinks the placer dig
gings will prove quite extensive. The
only drawback is want Of water.

PineapDle sgine.

On the west side of Prospect mount
ain, and embracing a surface area of
l 600 feet, is the Pineapple mine.
There are two incline shafts sunk on
the lode, reaching a depth of 60 and 50
feet respectively. In sinking the So
foot shaft, a large amount Of ore was
extracted, the lode having been fol-
lowed the entire distance. IL was of u
very high grade, and the evident per
manence aud richness of the ledge en-
couraged the owners in driving a tun-
mel, starting some distance down the
mountain. 1t is calculated that il will
strike the lode at a depth of 200 feet,
and on its completion facilitate the
economical extraction of the ore. a
prospecting shaft on another portion
of the claim has been sunk to a depth
of 60 feet, and demonstrates the contin-
uance and permanence of the ledge for
a distance of 500 feet. The mine is a
valuable One.
