Professor RAYMOND.

Professor Raymond, who has been
examining the Eureka lode, is a gen.
tleman of fine attainments and holds
an exalted position in the mining and
scientific world. This is his second
visit to this locality-he having exam-
ined and reported on the mines of Eu-
reka District, in the year 1871. in his
work on the "Mineral Resources West
of the Rocky Mountains" The Pro-
lessor at that time predicted that the
mines Of Eureka would prove perma-
nent and lasting-a fact that has been
v~eritied-and he is much pleased with
the proof of his statements. As au-
thority on all matters connected with
mineral-bearing veins and geological
formations, he is second to none, and
his matured opinions from his recent
examination of the mines on Ruby
Hin will be looked for with great in
terest. We understand that he will be
called on the witness stand at the trial
of the great mining suits.

Black Rock.

The excitement in regard to this
newly-discovered district, which had
partially subsided, was renewed yester-
day by the result of assays of ore
brought in by Mr.. Atkinson, who
has been in hat section of country for
the past week. The ore assayed was
from a location called the Little Giant
mine, and went $l93 81 per ton in sill
yer. The district is fortv-five miles
from Eureka and about five from
Roberts Creek. The ledge is in the
CorteZ range of mountains and is Sit
uated on the slope of the peaks named
respectively Buena Vista, Custer and
Chloride. On Buena Vista is the
Atkinson Union; on Custer, the w.
b. Taylor; on Chloride, the Rambler,
and further down the hill the Banner.
On another spur the Little Giant has
been located and the ore brought to
town is from the latter mine. The
ledge has been traced a distance of
5000 feet n varies in width from five
to fifty feet. Mr.. Brooks has already
sent out a complete outfit, and the
Atkinson Company will forward
blacksmith's tools, drills and other
articles preparatory to commencing the
sinking ola shaft. Thereare twelve men
on the ground at present, but the
number will be largely reinforced
during the present week. All con-
cerned in the new mines are very san
guine Of the future of the district and
will develop their various locations
without delay.

The Death OF Ex.SheriR Gilmore.

Ex-Sheriff Geo. w. Gilmore died at
his room in Ryland's building on
Clark street, G N Monday morning at
one o'clock. The deceased was a
prominent citizen of Eureka, and has
been identified with the business in
~terests of the town since 1872, and
was also an old pioneer. both Of Cali
fornia and this State. He arrived in
San Francisco in lS4o and proceeded to
the mines, where he soon accumulated
d modest fortune, with which he re-
turned to his native city of Boston,
where he remained until 1862, when he
returned to the Pacific slope. In the
same year he came to Nevada and was
located in Dayton until 1869. From
that place he wen to White Pine, and
thence to Idaho and Montana, return
ing in 1872 to Eureka and taking up
his permanent residence here, from
which time he carried on a large black
smlthing and wheelwright estab-
llshment. In 1874 he was elected
Sheriff OF Eureka county by a hand.
some majority-a position that he
filled to the satisfaction of everyone.
In his business ana social relations he
was universally esteemed, and his loss
Will be mourned by the entire conf.
munity. He has been suffering from
the disease that finally carried him off
for some years, and it was only his
wonderful vitality that enabled him to
resist the inevitable for so long a time.
He had only been confined to his
room for a few days, and during that
time received every attention from his
numerous friends. MIR. Gilmore was
AZ years of age and a native of Boston,
Massachusetts. He leaves a wife and
adopted son in San Francisco.

A New Use for SIa-.

A new process of casting and an.
healing paving blocks Of furnace Gin
ders, says the IRON Age, has been
suggested, which is claimed to furnish
a good and uniform material that re-
sists wear and gives a good footing for
horses. This process consists in taking
the Stag as it flows from the furnace
and running it into mounds placed
upon a circular table AS fast as the
moulds are filed they are moved
away and left to cool down to a dull
red color. The moulds are then OPEN
ed and the blocks are taken out and
annealed in a furnace kept at a partic-
ular temperature for 81 hours. They
are then finished and may be used at
once. The chiefnovel of his process
seems to be the annealing Gf the blocks
of Stag. Why would it nos be a good
speculation for some n TO utilize the
Stag from our furnaces. Such pave
ments would be practically indestruc-
tible and the EOS but a trife, as the Stag
runs to waste at present.

DEVELOPMENTS.

We learn that a very important de-
velopment has been made in the south
shaft OF the Hamburg mine, a body OF
high grade ore having been uncovered
at that point. The strike is very en-
couraging, indicating as it does the
value of the mine along the whole
claim, and the existence of other ore
bodies beside the immense bonanza
that the company are now working.
There are two thousand tons of ore
already extracted and on the dump,
and on the completion of the hosting
works work will progress at a lively
rate, We regard the Hamburg as one
of the best mines in the district, and its
ultimate rank among the first-class
bullion-prodpcers is only a ques-
ton of time.

The formation of the Leeds District
is sandstone highly impregnated with
limestone, and the veins occur in that
rock. The principal mines are in the
vicinity Of the towns OF Leeds and Sill
yer Reef. The workings have ex.
tended to a depth OF one hundred and
fifty feet and the quantity and quality
of the ore has increased from the sur
face. Much of the ore has been
shipped to Salt Lake and Phoebe and
has paid a fine profit, but there re.
mains a large quantity, running from
twenty to fifty dollars per ton, that
will have to be reduced on the ground,
Colonel d. E. Buel, who is a large
owner in the district, estimates that the
cost of mining and milling need moi
oxceed seventeen dollars per ton.
