a NEW BEGGING DODGE There are now
~ TINS city class of beggars who claim to be
mechanics thrown out of employment in con-
sequence OIL the depression in business. The
plan is TO caii at the houses and leave "Copy
OF verses by party of Mechanics'' as it is
called. The next day the man calls and asks
for aims. If the demand is complied with All
is well, but if they meet refusal they at once
begin insulting talk and demand the paper left.
They are getting to be perfect nuisance, and
the best way to suppress them is for all to re.
fuse to accept their card at the first call. Pro
miscouus giving is worse sthan no giving at all
We have calls enough for reliable charitable in
situations.

A young gentleman from Ruby Hill
WAS on a visit to Eureka yesterday,
and made his headquarters at Clark's
store during the day. The boys were
feeling in good spirits and started in to

rei.iniscences about New York City,
and threw out IA bait which our friend
eagerly swallowed. IL was II catch,
aud his disgust at the story was huge.
Before 1t had abated, Mac offered an

he WAS more than willing to accept a

and departed up the street at a lively

RICH ROCK.
Some Notes of the Methods Of MIN.
Ing at Mineral Hill.

- ~ 1hhmeFht hnhhIs
The six carloads of ore received al
the Lennon mill and shipped from
Mineral Hill includes some very rich
rock, and il it existed in large quanti-
ties would make that locality famous.
The selected chlorides assay from $500
to $1,000 FER ton, and represents the
summers work of the wner They
have made very favorable terms with
the proprietors of the mill, those gen.
tlemen guaranteeing a return of so
per cent on the assay value. The bat.
terry was started up Yesterday even
ing and ii will be put through at the
rate of ten tons per day. A portion of
the ore was extracted from leased
ground belonging TO the English com
pany, ana they receive as u compen-
sation one fourth of the net proceeds.
The formation at Mineral Hill is a
hard dolomitic limestone, permeated
throughout with Dumberiess small
crevices and caves, and in these latter
the ore has been deposited. When
found it invariably runs up into the
hundreds, and sometimes thousands
OF dollars per ton, and richly rewards
the miner for his ex penditure of time
aud labor. The work is carried on by
small ompanies, generally by two
men, who follow u stain or trace in the
hard rock until it opens out into one
OF the caves mentined above. Some
times months of hard labor ensue toe
fore the miner finds his bonanza, but
the smallest of them rarely fail to re-
coinpense him for his work. A ton OF
chloride, assaying $1,000 or 81, 900, is a
very pretty pile. and compensates him
for his weary toll. There is a glori-
Gus uncertainty attending this partc-

courses will greatly miss him. The
