THE Hills
The Grand Prize Company Is run
ming two mills, one of 20 aRd the otheI
of ten stamps. They are both running
exclusively upon ores from the Com
pany's mine. The new hoistinf
works, In the place of those which
were destroyed by fire a few weeks
ago, are com pleted, as are also the
Howell rotary furnaces at the mills,
Everything is working finely, and it is
confidently predicted that the bullion
shipments for the next month will
average $40. 900 per day. The De Frees
Company have a 4-stamp water power
mill across the valley, which is doing
good work, crushing the ore from
the mine. The Independence mill, OF
ten will be completed in a
couple or three weeks, and will imme-
dia,eiy commence working ore from
the Independence and Navajo mines.
ACCOMMODATIONS HERE.
The greatest Inconvenience experi-
enced by a stranger upon his arrival
here is the difficulty of procuring a
bed. There is an excellent two story
hotel here, and more than q dozen
lodging houses, but they are Always
full, and upon the arrival of a stage
there is the tallest kind of rustling
among the passengers to find a place

limbs, and lucky indeed is he who
cannot, like the o of man, draw an
unfavorable comparison between his
condition aud that of the foxes OF the
earth and the birds of the air. l was
especially fortunate in this respect.
Upon landing from the staRs l was

headed by DIR. Terry and Shorty Levy,
who conducted me in state to the
slaughter house in the suburbs, where
a sum ptuous couch of raw hides had
been prepared for me. l trespassed

a third interest in a single bed, in the
lodging house of q lady who was ac-
quainted with an aunt of Pete Can.

mountain about half a mile from here.
There is plenty for domestic and
washing purposes, but not sufficient
to avail anything in case of fire, which.
with the average Tuscarorian, is a per-
petual nightmare. l am reliably in

fact, I have never tried any.
WHO ARE HERE.
The population of the town is COM
posed largely Of people from Idaho.
They appear to be very clever folks,
differing but slightly in manners and
customs from the cilizens of the owe
eign State of Nevada. Austin. Eureka,
and in fact every district of Eastern
Nevada is we'll represented. Billy
Muncey, an Austin pioneer, is Mining
Recorder. He has also a number OF
valuable mining locations. Oscar Fair
child, whilom of the RereitLe, owns
half of the Times. Bob Rowland has
"a saloon, which is headquarters tor. all
old time Eastern Nevadans. TRAY.
Johnson is dealing in town lots. DIR.
Terry has sold his stock OF drugs, and
l heard to day had purchased a board
ing-house at Linkton, which is a little
village at the Grand Prize mill and
mine. Peanuts made his fortune and
left. Jim Stockdale. Shorty aud Lew
Zimmerman are holding forth upstairs
at the Palace Saloon. The population
/ should Judge is about $500. There
are w hurdy houses. two faro games
and one keno. Whisky shops ad in
fnitum. Controller Hobart was here
several days during the week. He
ave your correspondent fits for assert
lug in his Winnemucca letter that his
tWilliam's) trip to Eastern Nevada
was for political purposes. He denies
the soft impeachment, and asserts pos
lively thai he came here to attend to
his mining interest, and canvass for the
Carson Tribune. Frank Stewart has
been here all summer, and has a mum
Dor of promising mining locations, be
sides a tract ct land bordering on the
northeast portion Of the town. There
are many others here who are vel
known t o Eurekans but whose names
do no occur TO me at present.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, l will remark that
believe Tuscarora is destined TO be
come one of the principal minins
towns in the State, and that, too, in th,
| early future, My reasons for so be
I lieving, | have before given in this let
ter, but | would advise no one and es
pecially those seeking employment, u
come here until the spring opens.
There are more men here 0 than car
find employment either in the mine:
or mills or at manual labor. The win
ter is close upon US, and all OF the
signs indicate a severe season. AT TIM
altitude the snow falls to a great depth
and il is not improbable that transport
alton of freight will be suspended 10
perhaps weeks before the sprins
opens. 1t is not unreasonable to pre-
dict hard times under the circum
stances. In view of these things man.
unemployed persons here are prepar
ing 10 leave, with the intention OF re
turning after the breaking up of win
ter. Let those who intend to DOM,
here TO take chances, defer their wis.,
until spring. This Is the advice OF
