The Water Question

In a conversation with Major Nc.
Coy yesterday, he stated that the
indiscriminate use of water INDUCED
in by those who sprinkle the streets
every evening will necessitate the en-
tire shutting off of the supply unless
it is stopped. The present season has
been one OF extreme drought, and all
over California and Nevada the water
supply is very short, compelling all
water companies on the Coast to adopt
the most rigid measures to stop its
waste. There is plenty OF water for
domestic and fire purposes. but none
to waste. The public we fare of Eu-
reka demands that this drain should
cease, for the quantity used lowers
tho tank to such an extent as to leave
the northern part of the town without
a supply in case of a fire breaking out
in that section. The Major recognizes
the utility and benefit that would re
suit to everybody ii Main street was
properly wet down, aud offers to fur
nish water free TO any n who Will
start n sprinkling cart. This is very
generous on his part, and the mer
chants and business men would lind
1T to thor advantage to accept the
proposition, and subsidize by weekly
payments, an institution 10 that end.

The Recent Rise i'm Stocks.

The recent rise in mining stocks has
been the most inspiring in u long time.
For over two years it has been up hill
work to keep the market on the up
grade for any length Of time; and
many began to think a continued rise
impossible. Without the aid of even
reported new discoveries of any par
ticular value, prices have been ad-
vanced very materially. There are
two leading theories Tor the rise, one
being a fear tina in the summer cleo
tons, old manipulators might lose con.
troi Of certain claims, if prices were
allowed tn continue as low as they
were ruling in May, and the other
being a reported agreement among
heavy me to take stocks Literally,
so us to restore confidence and thus
help out in tile matter OF pending and
prospective assessments. Both causes
nav probably contributed as much 10
further the advance as any two that
can be named. There has been some
danger that some mines would pass
into new hands. There have also been
some well-grounded fears that large
numbers would refuse TO pay further
assessments without a marked appre-
citation in values. Comparatively low
figures have also tempted fresh capi-
tai, and the market was just in that
sensitive condition to respond prompt
~ to the infusion of new blood.

FOURTH OF JULY MEETING.

The call for a meeting of citjzens a,
Bigelow's Hall last night to take the
initiatory steps for the observance in
some proper manner of the 1Olst m
niversary OF American Independence,
drew together a large and enthusiastic
assemblage, showing most conclusive

this community. A large number of
the substantial business men of the
town were present. On motion, Geo.
w. Cassidy was called to the chair and
u. q. Livingston elected Secretary.

an absolute necessity. and but little
money will be required To- get up a

this part of the usual programme

be ample and much better than no

the hall last night.

Minernl Hi.

There is very little doubt that there
will be a change in the affairs of the
English Mill & Mining Company at
Mineral Hill, but beyond that point no
definite Information can be obtained as
tn their future intentions. The miners
of the Hill are very anxious To learn
whether there is any probability of the
null starring up very soon, a. they
have a large quantity of chloride o
the dumps awaiting reduction, which
they will ship To some other point in
the event it does not. If the lessees oi
the Lennon mill, on the completion
OF the repairs, conclude to crush out
side ores, The chances are that Mineral
Hill will ship its chloride to this
point.

The bismarck Mine.

The Bismarck mine embraces 1900
feet of surface ground, and is situated
at the head OF "a deep gorge, about
three miles southwest from Prospect
mountain. The location VAS made by
tracing TO their source powders ana
float rock containing chloride ore,
which were found profuseIy scattered
in the canyon. The mine is opened
by a tunnel run into the hill 0j feet,
designed to strike the lode 200 feet be-
Meath tho surface. A shaft so feet
north of the tunnel has been sunk to a
depth of 30 feet. The workmen have
| encountered IN the tunnel three feet oil
low grade ore, assaying $40 in silver,
| and carrying 80 per ceht. lead. The
| walls are we'll defined, and the clay
lining appears between the vein ma,
ter and the walls. The ore Is richest
in the center Of the lode. II promises
to develop into a good property.
