Since Sweeney became interested in
the speed and staying qualities of horse
flesh and has INDUCED so much in the
noble sport of racing, he has felt the
necessity of possessing al accurate
and reliable time piece. The value of
a good race horse is often determined
by a few seconds of time, and to know
just how long It takes to accomplish a
given distance by the noble animal is
a very important part of the knowl-
edge of any patron Of the turf. With
this want in view, our friend has re-
Gently had imported from Switzer-
land a magnificent J%urgensen time
piece, with independent movements,
marking fifth OF seconds, and costing
we don't know how many hundreds
of dollars. but of fabulous value. So
delicate is the workmanship in this
wonderful watch that nothing but the
rim is visible, and most judges would
pronounce it a hollow sham. Ask him
for a sight OF it and you will see that
we have not exaggerated in describing
the article.

Miners Union Ball.

The members of the Miners Union
on Ruby Hill will give their regular
anniversary ball on the night of Oct
ober 10th, this being the fourth of
those event since the establishment
of the Union at that point. The party
will take place at Miners Union Hall,
and the committees will spare neither
time nor expense in looking after the
comfort of their guests on hat occa-
sion, or making the entertainment one
of the most enjoyable OF the season.
The music will be under the leader
ship of Frank R~iegelhuth, which fact
ensures the acceptability of hat fea-
ture of the ball. supper will be pro-
vided by Mrs. Owen keefe. who will
spare no expense in catering TO the
party -goers. Those who wish to at
tend from Eureka will have no diff
Guilty in reaching the Hill, as stages
will ply between the two points dur
ing the night. We bespeak a liberal
patronage for the Union anniversary,
and have no doubt that a large mum.
Der OF tickets will re disposed of.

BigelOw-s Hall.

Last evening was the second night OF
the dramatic season at Bigelow's Hall,
and the auditorium was filled by an
interested and pleased throng. The
bill presented included the play of
"Driven from Home,'' a dramatization
of Tennyson's beautiful poem of Dora;
acrobatic feats of Leon Samwells. and
the amusing farce of 'Taraxicun Twit-
ters." In the opening piece Mr.. Saw
telle assumed the character of Farmer
Allan. His rendition of the role was a
tribute TO his talents, and the reality of
his portrayal of the powerful emo
tons of the Farmer ELECTED unbound
eG applause. The balance Of the cast
were we'll up in their lines and the
good acting carried the piece success
fully to a close. In an interlude Mr..
Sawtelle gave another proof of his
versatility by his vocal efforts; and his
songs were not the least of the many
good things in the bill. Leon Sam
wells, in his wonderful acrobatic feats
and performances with globes, intro
duced a number of new and novel
gyinnastic exercises, and displayed his
marvellous powers for the space of ten
minutes. The closing farce kept the
audience in roars of laughter, aud as
the curtain fell the hilarity of the audi
ence vas almost uncomfortable. This
evening there will be another entire
ch1hge of programme. The emotional
drama of East Lynne will be present
ed, together with a farce and the usual
interlude.

Race Made.

A throng Of horsemen c~ongregated
on Sweeney's corner on Monday even
ing last, and the usual amount Of race
lore was INDUCED in. From canvass
ing the merits Of outside horses the
conversation turned to the abilities of
those nearer home, and after much
good natured banter two Base Range
favorites were matched for a contest of
speed, the event to take place six weeks
hence. The race will be between Billy
Nichols ''Coalburner" and Crazy
Jane" a mare belonging to Andy Nc
Ginley. One hundred dollars were de-
posted by each party as forfeit money,
and 500 more will be added by both
of the owners. The distance to be run
is 300 yards, and the trial of speed will
take place at the Willows track.

No Ducks.

NJ. b. Bartlett and Fred. German
took a little run down to the Hay
Ranch on Monday last in search of
the numerous ducks that rumor said
haunted that locality. For six long
weary hours they tramped among the
tules in search of the feathered game,
but only to find that the web-footed
birds had departed for some congenial
cline. As Fred. remarked on his re-
turn, the hunting was excellent but
the finding of anything to shoot &C
was not worth a d.. Their next ex.
petition will be to some more desira-
BILE locality.

The Branch Railroad.

h large force of men are at work
grading the Jackson branch of the
Ruby Hill railroad. The proposed line
runs along the hillside from the Eureka
Consolidated platform to the southeast,
and crosses the wagon road to the
Jackson dump on al elevated trestle-
work of sufficient height to allow the
passage of teams underneath. The
work will be completed in about two
weeks. As soon as all the improve
ments are finished, the ore bodies in
the lower levels will be attacked, and
the product shipped to the Richmond
furnaces. An increased number of
miners will find employment when
that time arrives.

Not Dead.

We were under the impression that
the young scion OF Ennis team of
jackasses lay cold in death, but Pea
taken in our item wherein we con-
signed him to an untimely grave.
The bitter tears that he wept over his
shaggy pet were not shed in vain. BY
bestowing lavish care and incesssnt
nursing on the body of the supposed
deceased he had the satisfaction OF
seeing the stark and stiff carcass re-
vive, and the young offspring of noble
parents now r~usticates on a neighbor-
ing ranch, where he crops the tender
blades of grass and " be haws" his
delight at having so narrowly escaped
an entree into another world.
