The official letter given below, and
forwarded to San Francisco on the
9th instant, chronicles the usual prog
ress during the week and gives some
interesting facts in connection with the
ore body on the 10th level. Alta depth
Of So feet the deposit pitched toward
the west wall, and has been followed
some 20 feet further, the bottom OF the
new Wine being still In ore. How
much further downward it extends can
only be deter mined by future explora
ton, and its vast extent and proper
tons are q matter of conjecture. Its
present determined size is far beyond
ANYTHING heretofore found in the mine,
and exceeds both In value and dimen.

Of the report.
EUREKA, Oct. 81, 1877.
No important Developments have
taken place during tie week in the

| The usual progress has been made in

| The 10th level ore body is looking ~
well as over and yielding largely ol
first. class ore. At the bottom Of Wine
at q depth of IS feet the ore f~iattened

with the dip of the ore and followed 9
| distance Of 20 feet, still continuing in
ore at this writing and looking we'll,
| The other ore bodies are all looking
frst-rats and yielding their proper

| There has been extracted during tbs
week some 1900 tons OF ore, Of which
amount l4O0 toni have been delivered
ut the furnaces. The yield of bullion

The HtghwRymeu.

We CLEAN some further facts deyel-
oped at the examination OF the Typo
stage robbers at Belmont last week,
having q particular bearing on those
implicated in the transaction. From
letters and other documents secured
by the officers, il seems that the crime
was meditated before the discharge OF
Hamilton and Laurie from the States
Prison. Bob Hamilton, with the pro-
ceeds of the robbery OF Evans, which
he had hidden at the time of his cap.
ture, six years ago, bought several
horses, aud 81 head of cows, which he
herded near the Buttes station, on the
Phoebe road. Davis was notified OF
their readiness to put the scheme into
execution, and came over from Vir-
ginia City. joining the gang at their
rendezvous. Two weeks were spent
in perfectiDg the system Of signals,
getting arms and making other pre-
p%arations. 1t scenes that Laurie sig
nailed to the balance of the gang on
the night that the treasure left Eureka
that there were three messengers on
board, he having counted Blair,
Brown ana u Oh the drivers, VINO
vent out to the station on that particu-
lar trip. In spite of these odds, the
desperate villains undertook the job
and failed. Letters written both be-
fore aud after the event, by Laurie aud
Hamilton, clearly implicate the pris-
oners, and are evidences of the most
positive character, both of their guilt
and their want of ordinary common
sense. The letters written by Laurie
to a pal at Virginia City, are dated
from Genoa. Panamint and other out
of the way places, but all bear the Eu-
reka poslmark. In one Of these inter-
esting missives he gives an account of
the robbery, and states that Davis
died game, and did not reveal the bal
ance OF the gang, and asks il the affair
was much talked of OIL the Comstock.
Other letters are of like import. and
their contents will fasten the crime on
the trio. The Grand Jury Of Nys
county will nve between the 5th
and 18th. and will, without doubt. find
a true bill against all three of the high
waynen. Their trial will speedily
follow, and in the event Of their con-
viction, now a foregone conclusion. II
Is probable hat none of the band will
trouble any mor stages for the next
| 10 vearS.

A m was In circulation last
evening that Mrs. Richard Ryland had
died just at nightfall. The report was
generally credited, but after patient
investigation we we're unable to trace
it I o any reliable source. Drs. Bishop
and Cram went out to the residence at
half past 8 o'clock, p. NJ, at which
time Mrs. Ryland was in . very crit
ical condition. As they had not re-
turned up to the time our paper went
to press. we were unable to learn the
issue. We join with the fsmily's host
of friends in q fervent wish that the
rumor was premature. and that the
lady may be rescued from the untime-
ly fate that hovers over her.
