FLASHED Crushing.

The crushing Of the Mineral Hill
ores at the Lennon mill was finished
on Saturday evening, and the deputs
ton have departed for their homes,
their pockets lined with a liberal
moun of coin, the product of their
summers labor. We are informed
that the boys are well pleased with
their treatment by Mes>rs. Clark q
Wallace, and state that all of the ores
run through the mill returned a much
high her average of bullion than they
expected. Some of the rock worked
over 500 per ton more than the ship
pers anticipated, and every facility was
extended to them in the way of samp
ling the ores as they passed through
the batteries. The mill company
guaranteed a return of 81 per cent. on
all rock going 5000 per ton, and so per
cent. on ores falling below that figure.
The shipment was worked above this
percentage and everybody is satisfied
with the results. We hope to see the
boys again. and presume they will pay
US another visit as soou as they develop
a few more rich pockets.

Messrs. Wells & Clark, claiming that
the Government has no jurisdiction in
the case. United States District kttor-
ney Varian wrote to the District Attor-
pey of Lincoln county, informing him
of the move, and asking whether, i'm
the event that they were discharged,
Lincoln county would prosecute them
for the crime. Answer was made that
the taxpayers and merchants of Phoebe
would stand no more nonsense; that
they were s.cS of the laws delay, and
would probably take matters in their
own hands. 1t will be seen that there
is a fair chance of the men escaping
without ever a trial.

An Industrious Miner.

r. A. Mcdaniel, Superintendent OF
the Bald Eagle mine, and part owner
in the same, is one of the most indus
trious and persevering miners in the
district. For ever years it has been
his habit to walk from Eureka to the
mine, a distance of four miles, arriving
there by 7 O'Clock in the morning, put
in a full days work, and return to
town in the evening. Mac took up the
location in 1870, and has done a greater
portion OF the labor unaided. He has
had the satisfaction of seeing it become
a valuable property and his faith in its
worth rewarded. There is at present
a force of IL men busy extracting ore,
the mine averaging all output of ten
tons per day. A lot of $50 tons, re-
Gently smelted as the Richmond fur
naces. yielded Sl62 per ton, or S9,477
for the lot. Mac deserves his success,
and we hope he may become a bonan-
"a king in the neal future.

TRAITOR OF the cowardly deed is still at

hy name, was arreSted Sunday,
charged with stealing a valuable horse,
saddle and bride, the properly of
Joseph Toomey, and turning it over to
the villain, who made good his escape

justice, we think, of the hoodlum dom

Usually interesting. and a complete
epitome Of Operations at the mines and
furnaces. Ii will be seen that there is
no falling off in the resources, but that
on the contrary everything is looking
better as developments are made. The
following is the official letter forward
ed Saturday last u the company's
Office in San Francisco.
EUREKA, Sept. s., 1877.
The operations at the mine this
week have been continued with the
usual progress, giving a very encour-
aging outlook tor the future. The fur
mace production has been particularly
ticipated a. a rule.
The product of bullion this week is
GAL ,23l pounds, a much greater
amount than has ever been produced
before from the cOmpany's furnaces in
the same period of time. The run
yesterday was the largest ever made
from four furnaces, the product being
l06 $40 pounds. The supply of char
coal continues unlimited at present.
Have received IS, 74S bushels during
the week.
There have been extracted from the
several levels Of the mine and deliv-
cred at the furnaces $50 tons OF ore of
high grade and good percentage of
lead, making it first class ore for
smelling purposes.
The ore taken out I'm from the
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
levels. The Wine from the ninth
level down is completed, and the sta
ton engine will be set tomorrow and
everything completed so as to com
mence hosting ore from the tenth
level on Monday morning; shall then
have ore on six different
levels, and supplies sufficient to keep
the full smelling capacity of the COM
pany engaged indefinitely.
There is but little change to note
concerning the different levels. The
third level drift is still in hard ground
and being advanced as rapidly as pos
sible, with no particular change to
mention.
The fifth level ore body is looking
first. rate and seems stronger and bet
ter than ever.
The seventh level ore body shows
Improvement since last week both in
quantity and quality.
The ore bodies on h sixth, eighth
and ninth levels show no change to
note; will be able to say something
about the tenth level in next report.

Ruby Hill.

Our valued correspondent on Ruby
Hill sends us the following:
Rev. VIM. Johns preached to a large
congregation on Sunday evening last
at the Miners Union Hall. The text
was from the 9th chapter. 9th verse.
of Hebrews, "And as 1t Is appointed
unto men once TO die, but after this
the Judgment" Mr.. Johns impressed
upon the minds OF his audience the
necessity Of religion previous to death,
so az To enable them to stand with per.
feet tranquility when the laundering
tones of the great Jehovah penetrates
their graves, calling forth the dead to
judgment. The choir sang hymns ap-
propriate To the subject.
There seems to be quite IN interest
in the Miners Union, and numerous
additions are being made to the socie-
ty. At the last meeting about twenty
new members Joined. Many more
who are at present working on the
night shift propose TO add their names
to the roll of the society at the first op-
portunity. We hope that every miner
on the Hill not a member of the Union
will make application. NJ.

GRAPES AND BUTTER;
Or, Tricks Upon Travellers.

A sturdy miner of Ruby Hill. having
occasion to visit Eureka upon business
a day or two ago, availed himself oil
the opportunity 10 purchase some oil
the luxuries of the market for his
family. His investment took the form
Of a golden roll Ct fresh ranch butter
for his better half, and a few pounds
Of luscious grapes for his little ones
Carefully bearing his delicacies in his
hand, he started upon his return jour
ney to the Hill on foot, but hearing
the whistle of the locomotive, he
awaited its arrival at the woodhouse,
just beyond town. Having taken in
their supply of fuel. our horny-hsnded
son of toll asked the brakeman to be
so kind as to hold his parcels whilst he
himself mounted the cars. That ac-
commodating individual politely COM
piled with his request, and the Ruby
Hitler began to'climb. But years have
taken something of his suppleness from
his limbs, consequently the operation
involved some time, during which the
engineer suddenly turned on a full
head of steam, which caused the brake
man to let the butter slip from his fling
ers between the ears, although (sly dog
he kept a firm grasp upon the bag OF
grapes. Upon recovering bis feet, the
sudden JERK having laid him upon his
back, a sad spectacle greeted the eyes
of our hero, consisting of the train CO.
ing out at a rapid rate, with distance
lending enchantment TO the view, and
his roll of butter, whose symmetrical
form had once charmed b eeyes, lying
upon the track, a shapeless mass, deli
cately frescoed with sufficient particles
of ore to make its assay value about
$500 a ton, forming "A nice geological
specimen which might nave proved
very interesting to Captain Foley, but
which was Il sorry sight for lis owner,
who wendell his way to the bosom OF
his family, mentally anathematizing
"them ERE railroading chaps" Upon
inquiry at the Consolidated dump, on
his arrival, concerning his fruit, he
was presented with the empty bag, and
informed that the company were not
responsible for perishable freight. His
fellow workmen having got wind OF
this adventure, whenever he steps on
the cage to 90 down the mine, he is
greeted with a general voiley of, "All
aboard for Ruby Hill; never mind
your butter and grapes"

Mntnmoras Compnny.

The Matamoras Company have rea
son t o be we'll satisfied with their sea
sons work. Besides developing as
fine a body of ore as was ever found in
Prospect mountain, they have in their
short run at the furnace produced o9er
100 ions of bullion, valued at 0,000.
This, from the small furnace used by
the company, is a remarkable result,
and Messrs. Sturgis & Steel are to he
congratulated on their success. The
company have under way and will
commence shortly many important
improvements. The little Buttercup
smelter is about to be replaced by a
large furnace capable of reducing 80
tons of ore per day. The site has al
ready been graded, and Foreman Atch-
inson informs us that it will be com
pleted by the 10Th of October. Mr..
Steele has gone East, and during his
absence will purchase hosting works,
material for a trsmway, and other ar
ticles necessary. Timbers for the main
shaft are being sent to the mine daily,
and this will be at once pushed for
ward. 1t will contain two compart-
ments, and will be furnished with a
safety cage and other improvements of
the latest and best invention. The
body of ore recently encountered in
the mine is proving to be a splendid
deposit, of as yet unknown extent. Its
proportions are. however, sufficient to
Justify the necessary outlay incurred
by the company in putting everything
in first class shape. and adds n mor
to the list of good mines in the district.
