THE DAYTON BALL.-The ball and
Christmas tree given Christmas eve
by the ladies of Dayton was very
ENJOYABLE affiir; indeed, il is difficult
to conceive how, under the able man
agement of Messrs. j. L. Campbell,
J. r. Shaw, C. L. Ali and NJ. l..
johnson, it could have been other
wise. Sixty couples sat down to the
splendid supper gotten up by that
ever popular caterer, j. G. Gruber.
About a dozen couples attended from
here, and Silver City had the honor
of furnishing the bellies of the even
ing. Every one came home well
pleased with the trip to the county
seat, and with the resolve to make
many more such.

From the Standard of wednesda,

from the Standard Of Wednesday,
A glance over our mining review
shows that the striking of ore, the
continuance of ore, the hosting of ore
and the milling of ore is the burden
of the reports. Even since the last
report several mines have penetrated
the ledge and found all that they
could possibly have asked for The
Bechtel has roo tons of ore at the
mill, and after January 1st will in
crease the working force and the
daily production of ore. The Red
Cloud has about completed arrange
ments with The Syndicate for crush
ing 500 tons of ore. The snow has
come and the receipt Of heavy freight
may be interrupted, but owing to the
energy and foresight Of our superip-
tendeHts work in all the mines will
be continued through the winter.
r. Snow commenced falling here Sun
day and continued at intervals until
yesterday noon. About eighteen
inches fell in Bodie, though down
toward Aurora nearly two feet fell.
Frank Cluggage, proprietor of the
Carson and Aurora stage line, has OBJ
tanned contract for a tri-weekly
mail between Aurora and Bodie. He
will run the mail daily, however.
This morning a company of men
will start out aud commence stalking
the road between Bodie and Aurora,
camping out on the route until the
work is completed.
The Standard tramway is finished
and there are no fears that the sup
ply of ore at the mill will at Auy
time run short.
il. Blethens jumped lot claimed
by j. w. Wheeler; shooting ARRAY;
nobody hurt; both arrested.

ORTBOGRAPHICAL.-A notice pub

graphical entertainment in Silver

lieving in the saving grace Of "rtho-

CoNTANcE LANZAC, whose applica-
ton for IA ratent tn claim on the
Lanzac lode is published in this pa
per, heard yesterday that M adverse
claim had been filed. He inquired
by telegraph and received dispatch
from C. N. Harris, Register of the
Land Office at Carson, stating that
no adverse clam had been fled. As
the sixty days allowed Ivy law have
expired, there will be no more than
the usual routine delay in obtaining
the patent.

SILVER HJLL.-Sinking the main
incline is making excellent progress,
the material in the bottom being
quite soft. The face of the southeast
drift, Oh the $50 level, is in ore which
looks favorable for the speedy de-
velopment of paying body Cross
cuts Nos. and 4 on this level are
each in quartz and low grade ore.
Crosscut No. 6 on the same level is
still in porphyry, carrying streaks OF
quartz. On the 800 level the east drift
appears to be just fairly entering the
vein formation, may cut through
the west wall aim 'st any day.

The AYREs & HOPKINS NINE
Superintendent Gould informs the
Carson Appeal that he now employs
two shifts of men (day and night in

are good mines in that vicinity, geo.

The Virginia Chronicle calls at
tention to the contradictory tele-
grams relative to the shooting of
three Americans by the mob at San
Elizario, and mentions the fact that
one dispatch stated that Atkinson and
his companions were simply disarmed
and set at liberty. We hope this will
be confirmed by later intelligence.
We saw dispatch saying the Texas
Rangers were disarmed and released,
but the good news the Chronicle
speaks of escaped US.

The Christmas Tree.

The ladies who took upon them
selves the getting up and manage
ment of the Christmas tree deserve
the thanks of the people Of Silver
City for their untiring efforts to bring
about such creditable result. They
were ably assisted by several gentle
men, the reporter getting away with
an immense amount of work. Two
large trees, Ole on each side of the
hall, were loaded with gifts for not
only the little ones, but the adults
also; and we believe that every child
in town was the recipient OF some
thing. If any were missed in the
general distribution, il was certainly
not tine fault Of the ladies, as we can
testify they worked hard to please
all. Before the distribution the
usual literary and musical entertain
ment was give3 Every one taking
part in it done we'll. Mrs. Hornick
and Mrs. Rourke sang very pretty
duet in highly artistic manner.
The most pleasing feature of the
evening was the singing of "Old Black
Joe" by Master Elliot Rourke. The
little fellow was enthusiastically
encored, and was obliged to sing il
the second time to appease the very
large audience in attendance. Miss
Mary Barrett has a very pleasing
voice, which needs only cultivation
to make her "a favorite. On the the
whole, we think the affair would COM
pare favorably with anything of a
like character on the Comstock.
