fBF LINE OF THE JANTRA ABANDONED BY THE
TURKS-THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE LIKELY TO BE
DELAYED.
LONDON Wednesday. July II. 1877.
It's observed in the Vienna dispatch to The Itmcs
th,t abandonment of the line Of the Jantra by the
Turks r. !he more surprising since TO judge from the
stout defense of the bridge and position of Biela,
where tie Turks repulsed the first attack OF the
Russians with considerable loss, it might have been
snpposrd that they intended defend that lne and
thus by threatening their flank, preventive Russians
from advancing into the interior. The Turks have
so completely suppressed all information about the
dispositon and movements OF their troops that not
even an idea can be formed of what they mean to
do bnt it shows either utter heplessness, or else
very deep laid plan. that they shonld have neglected
the brilliant opportunities afforded them of meeting
TIE Russians to advantage.
While the Turkish movements are thus involved
n mystery, The Times says editorially that 1.-THE
Russians cannot advance IN force upon the Balkans
until they have position on the Danube as strong
A. auv in possession of the Turks. This will require
a month at least. The excursions of Cossacks to
Trnova Plevna, Selvi and Lowatz have little or no
military significance"

of the organizations The interview was pleasant

THE EUREKA CONSOLIDATED
FURNACES.

We took q cruise down to the Eu-
reka Consolidated furnaces yesterday
in search Of items, and were interested
by the air of industry and activity that
prevailed at the works. We were pres
ent at the time of changing shifts, aud
noted the multitude Of men that as
sembled ready to relieve their CO.
workers. The men engaged around
the smelters work eight hours, and
their toll Is of q most exhaustive and
weary nature, which, added to the dis.
comforts of the fumes and the un.
hea!thiness Of the lead vapors, makes
the work by no means desirable. In
spite OF these facts there is always a
superabundance of help. and the SUI.
perintendent Is overrun with applica-
tons for employment. The furnaces
are running very smoothly and turn
ing out immense quantities of bullion.
The ore coming down from the mine
smelts freely, carries q high percent
age OF lead, and has no refractory or
obstinate elements In its constituents.
Under the able supervision of Colonel
Taylor, who devotes all OF his time
and attention to the processes of re-
duction, the works are doing better
than at any time since their erection.
The average product Of the four fur
Daces for the month Of October was
Al 2 3 tons OF bullion per day, that
amount being sent to market daily.
The new Baker rotary blower set up
at furnace No. l, is giving splendid sat-
isfsction, running noislessly, with one
third less power, and giving the same
amount of blast as the old style in use.
Three more will be ordered immedi-
ately and put in operation by the LIST
December.
Some extensive repairs are being
made to the boiler roof and sheds in
front Of the furnaces. The latter will
be extended five feet further to the
front, in order to give the smelters and
Stag wheelers additional room. and
protect them from the weather. The
least moisture coming in contact with
the lead, or molten iron, causes violent
explosions and e%ndangers the safety of
the workmen.
At the blacksmith shop we found
friend Dill busy constructing ore cars
for use at the mine. lie Informed us
that some fifty of them were in use and
more needed.
The hustle that prevails in the neigh
bortood OF the works. gives the north
end of town a very lively and prosper
Gus appearance, quite a contrast from
last winters outlook.

In shaft.

Sixteen days ago, the foreman OF the
Bald Eagle mine missed his dog, a lit
tie terrier that usually accompanied
him in his rounds through the mine.
Nothing was heard of him until yes
terday, when in passing the mouth of
one Of the shafts in the tunnel Super
intendent McDsniels heard a faint
whine that attracted his attention, and
on exploring the shaft found the dog at
the bottom. still alive but rather weak
from his protracted sojourn and con
finement. The shalt is 90 feet deep,
and the little fellow had fallen that dis
lance and managed to survive sixteen
days without food or water. A dead
canine was found in the bottom whose
presence was lot accounted for. The
live dog was brought to the surface,
and was as lively yesterday afternoon
as ever. The foreman is happy over
the recovery of his four-footed friend,
and will try in the future to preserve
him from the pitfalls and dangers that
abound In the mine.
