The RrOanAcf.

The town relapsed into It's usual
dizziness yesterday, and the only evil
dence of the excitement incidental to
the late decision was the flag floating
over the Eureka Consolidated Compa
ny's office. 1t is probable that some
time will elapse before the town will
receive the full benefit of the termina-
ton of the disastrous litigation. A
large number of the men employed by
the rival companies have been Idle for
xix months, and most of them have
remained i'm the own during that Pc
Rod. Their number has been aug
mented by fresh arrivals from ouilying
districts, and there are at the present
time at least ] 900 idle men in the town
awaiting tho resumption of operations
at he mines and furnaces. About one
half of these will be added to the pay
rolls within the next month, and will
make an aggregate OF about 200 min
ers and furnaces e employed in the
district. This will turn Loose i'm the
neighborhood of $40. 900 monthly,
which amount. added TO the coin cir,
culation, will infuse new life into the
arteries Of trade and business.

The Stock Exchange of last Monday
says: Eureka Consolidated sold up
to 40 on Saturday, the highest price
paid for a long time. The advance OF
the stock within a week has been
caused by Developments, said to
exceed in importance any yet made i'm
the mine. This, with the almost dead
moral certainty" that the decision OF
the Court in the Richmond case would
be in their favor, vas quite sufficient
to enthuse the Eureka people. When
The company gets fairly TO work on
the new body Of ore, they expect to
astonlsh The oldest inhabitant. With
such Developments in Eureka, the
mines In the neighborhood will en-
nance in value, and the town of Eu-
reFa will soon feel renewed life and
activity. There are quite a number OF
claims whereabouts which will he pros

The Mine.

The Matamoras mine is proving it.
self to be one Of the best properties in
the district, aud recent Developments
in the lower levels are very encour-
aging to the owners. A large body of
very high grade ore has been struck at
a depth of $50 feet, and promises to
prove a veritable bonanza. We were
shown some magnificent specimens
from the mine yesterday, taken at ran
dom from the drift and upraise, which
is claimed to be an average Of The vein
matter at that point. They We're very
rich in precious metals, assaying $3.50
in gold and $500 in silver, and carry.
ing about 30 per cent. in lead. Mr..
Diinock has submitted plans to the
company for the erection of hoisting
works and the building of a tramway
from the mine TO the foot OF the
mountain, in the neighborhood of the
entrance to the Prospect Mountain
Tunnel. II is thought that the tram.
way can be built and operated at a
very small outlay. There is sufficient
timber that "a be utilized for the pur
pose in close proximity to the mine.
and the main expenditure will be the
item of construction. After 1t il once
built no further expense, except in the
way of repairs, will be necessary, as
the track will be double and the loaded
car going down the grade will convey
the empty one to the mine. The main
shaft will be enlarged and timbered
from the surface to The lowest station
aud the hosting works made first
class In every particular. The future
prospects of the company are very
bright, and their successful operations
constitute another element in the flu
ture OF tie district.

lie Recovered,

The miners at the Eureka Consoli.
dated were recently discussing the
number of accidents that had occurred
in that mine since its development
One averred that seven unfortunate
men had met their deaths in the SHAH

by another workman, who declared
that he had worked in the mine seven
years, during which time only three
men had been killed, and n Of them

Consolidated FURNACES.

Tie two idle furnaces at the Con-

ing from the tall chimney on the hill
side. Under the direction OF Colonel
Tom Taylor. u fire was built in No. 4
yesterday, and the process of drying
IL out Is going on. This operation mas
To he conducted with considerable
care. The furnace from the bulge to
the feed hole has double walls, the in
side u being constructed of common
brick laid in mortar. Too intense heat
dries away tue mortar from the brick,
md renders the walls liable To cave,
while il the heat is gradually applied,
this danger is escaped. The Colonel
il too old a veteran at the business tn
incur any chances, aud consequently
IL taking the proper steps to avoid any
such contingency. A delay has oc.
CURED in getting No. 2 ready for oper-
alton, from the fac that the front piale
had la he replaced by a new one. A
break happened at this point during
its former run, and the lead escaping,
filled up the %crevices and intersiices.
When the 'front.' vas removed it became
necessary To chisel this away, a very
slow operation, and one that consum-
ed three days time. As >oon as ,he
plate is put in position, and the trout
rebuilt, the furnace will he started up.
Colonel Taylor has made a splendid
success since his connection with the
Consolidated furnaces, both in eco
nomically reducing the ore, and also
in running them up TO their full ca
pacily. He has extracted larger per-
centage of bullion, with less waste
than has ever been dore since The
works were constructed, and his
knowledge of the chemical processes,
as well ~ the practical workings of a
smelling furnace, makes him an inval-
liable assistant.

to allow it; but no objection has been made
to our knowledge TO the landing of passengers

The object, however, of the writer of the
article in question is evident, from the bitter
animus that permits him to indulge in re-
Elections against missionaries as a body, and,
as we infer from his concluding paragraph,
against all who are averse to the repeal or
amendment of the Sunday law. We do not
know how many professed Christians do or do

members of the community who would not,
with shame and regret, see the repeal OF the
Sunday law, or depore any attempt to excite
distrust in the native or Chinese population
of the influence and efforts of Christian mis-
sionaries, of whatever creed they may be.
But there is something still more to be de

Wreck of the "IOIani," and Death
of Captain Powers.

THE lockers on the Esplanade and
wharves, on last Sunday morning, had theil
curiosity very much excited by observing the
" Kilahea" much behind her time, coming into
harbor with her flag at half-mast and towing
a schooner under bare poles On the arrival
of the steamer at the wharf it was ascertained
that she had in tow the schooner Iolani, y
which had capsized and been wreck, and
that her commander, Captain Powers, was
drowned
At the time of the disaster, on the night Of
Tuesday, the 18th instant, she was running
down channel, on her way from Maliko, Maui,
to Honolulu, and was close off the coast Of
Lanai, between the villages of Awalua and
Maunalei, near the western end of the island
She was running well before the wind with all
sails set, but owing to her position near the
coast, the captain gave orders to jibe her, and
the mate, who was steering, suggested that
sail be shortened, as the wind was freshening
and there was high sea on, and as, further
more, she was running light, with only ballast
on board, and that not secured. But the cap
tain insisted on his order, and he then took
the tiller in hand, and almost Immediately
afterwards the vessel went over on her beam
ends,-and, as the ballast now shifted and
even rolled on to her deck timbers, she tumb-
led badly, and lay almost keel upwards.
Tho unfortunate captain and crew now
struggled in the water for some time, and,
swimming under the lee of the vessels hull,
strove to unfasten and launch her boat But
their struggles were rendered Intellectual by
the high sea preaching over the hull Of the
schooner. 1t was impossible to find ropes
end or point of spar to which man might
cling. The captains efforts to keep himself
above water were, as stated by the native
survivors of this struggle for life, very ma
'odlitoali, or weak; and the friends of Captain
Powers say that he could hardly swim, and
whatever capacity he might have had to keep
himself afOat was hindered by heavy pea
jacket and boots which he had on, as he
butfeted a furious sea on q chill dark night.
After agonizing efforts for a space of time,
variously reported by the surviving crew to
be from one to two hours, they resolved to
make for the shore, about two miles distant
and to this conclusion they came the more
readily, on discovering that their captain and
one of their comrades, the cook, a native man,
had disappeared, and had evidently gone
down. But they had hardly got away from
the wreck when they discovered the boat un-
fastened and ahoat, and SO they got into her
and safely reached the Lanai shore.
The following day, Wednesday, the l4th,
late in the evening, boat from Molokai, pass
ing near the scene of the disaster and observ-
ing the condition of the wreck, her captain
fastened to Lahaina and reported what had
taken place. Mr. Gibson, residing there, on
hearing the news, Immediately ordered boat I
with the intention to proceed that night to the
wreck, but subsequently meeting with Mr..
