Captain Frank Drake, in his official
letter to the London Directors, has the
following to say in regard to the mine
This is a point upon which 1 would
gladly convey to you its exact condi-
tons; but it is impossible to do SO, all
/ can do is to state how it looks at this
date of writing, tor the changes in the
lastsix months have been so extremely
puzzling, and seemingly contradictory,
that | have had to exercise great pre-
caution, both in my letters and cable
grams to the company, from fear they
might cause very unsatisfactory move
ments in our stock. / have felt conf
dent, however, that everything would
come out all right; at times it has
looked very discouraging, both in the
old ore chambers and the incline. At
this date the ore chamber is looking
very well, so much so that havegreat
confidence that the ore body will con-
tinue to enlarge into a good supply for
the mill Dext spring, though how long
a run | cannot at present say. | am
pleased to say the quality is good, we
now have assorted some 400 tons that
will assay over $50 per ton. / believe
this ore will make back west to our
footwall, and at a greater depth than
We have ever yet taken out ore.

EUREKA MINING DISTRICT.

Although Eureka is the second pro-
ducing camp upon the coast, but COM
paratively little prospecting has yet
been done aside from a few mines.
The vast amount of bullion steadily
howlng from our furnaces, and which
has brought us into prominence, is
almost wholly the product of the Eu-
reka Con-. and Richmond companies.
1t is true that a few companies have
been organized to work Prospect
Mountain, and, with a single excep-
ton, the work has been done from the
surface by means of shafts. The ex-
ceptlon mentioned is b. tunnel from
the west side of the mountain, an en-
terprl>e inaugurated by a few of Il
citizens. Since the commencement Of
this tunnel it has been clearly demon
strated that the lodges throughout the
district have an easterly dip; hence
the practical method of testing the
lodges at depth is by means of a deep
tunnel from the eastern slope, thus in
tersecting them at right angles. This
is the plan proposed by the Eureka
Tunnel and Mining Company; and
their line will cut no less than five
known lodges, upon which are located
a number OF mines of merit, and also
the mines purchased by the Tunnel
Company. General Common, the pro-
jector of the enterprise, has gone to
San Francisco to induce his friends to
embark with him, and to arrange to
have the stock listed on the Stock
Boards. The company have set aside
a portion of the stock TO be disposed of
among our citizens, at fifty cents per
share; and they should subscribe lib
orally, as the tunnel will not only open
up the mines upon its direct line. but
it will also induce hundreds of men
having locations upon Prospect Noun
tain to work them, the direct benefits
inuring to ourselves.

Jackson Mine.

Work is progressing very favorably
at the Jackson mine. A considerable
amount Of prospecting is being done,
and the developments in the cave
promise to be both rich and extensive.
A large quantity of low-grade ore has
been encountered in the $50 foot level,
a popularity of which is the very large
percentage of gold that it carries, run
ming as high as $50 in that metal, and
only about $40 in silver. We under
stand that "a new shaft will be COM
menced at an early date, at a point
east of the shale, and in the limestone,
thus avoiding the water flow met with
in the slIale formation. A consider.
able amount of ore has been uncovered
in the mine, and has accumulated on
the dumps, which will not be reduced
until the company make some arrang-
mentt to run their own furnace. In the
meantime, prospecting will be carried
on with 0igor, and we may look for a
good showing from the property at an
early date.

Bold Attempt at Robbery.

The daring and audacity of the
thieves who infest Eureka was made
manifest by the attempt of two of the
predatory tribe to rob a house on
Spring street lately. The lady occu-
pant, who is the possessor of some
very elegant and costly diamond jew
elry, was startled by the entrance of
two masked men into her parlor at s
O'Clock in the evening, and was so
much alarmed at their appearance that
she failed to obey their commands to
be quiet, but fled, screaming, out of
the back door, and aroused the neigh
bors. This evidently disarranged the
plans of the robbers, and they also
took to flight, running down the street
and disappearing in the darkness. A
confederate evidently posted on the
bridge opposite Bigelow's Hall, to
watch the vicinity, on the approach OF
some passers-by vigorously whistled,
and then made off in the same direc-
ton. 1t was, no doubt, the intention
Of the thieves to compel the lady to
surrender her jewelry and other valu-
ables, but her action in running out of
the room frustrated their schemes.
The house is situated but a few doors
from the Methodist Church, and the
fact of It's being a bright moonlight
night, and in such a public locality, il
illustrates their daring and the chances
they Will incur in pursuit of plumber.

It is the desire Of the bereaved par
hts of the darling who was laid away
at rest yesterday, to return their thanks
to those who, in the hour of sickness
and death, lavished their kind atten-
tons without stint. In this, their hour
of trouble, the sympathy of those who
freely gave their time, and who hung
owe the bed of pain, anxious to relieve
the sufferer one needless pang, is a
memory that is treasured in their
hearts, and appreciated beyond ex-
preston. To Father Monteverde, who
offered the consultations OF religion, and
whose wordso of comfort were a balm
to the bruised heart of the afflicted
mother, aud whose presence at the
death bed soothed and sustained her in
her bitter trial, and to those ladies who
never faltered nor grew weary in their
aid, they return their heartfelt graft
tude, and will ever cherish a remem-
brance of their kindness.

By the Austin stage Line.


The funeral of the late Mamie Cassidy
yesterday was largely attended, and
both the residence and church we're
thronged by the sy%mpathizing friends
of the afflicted parents, who came to
look at her earthly body ere it was laid
away in its last resting place. She
was as lovely in death as in life,
aud seemed to have sunk off into
a sweet sleep, her spirit hav-
ing fled without a struggle, leaving
her face unvexed with pain or clouded
with trouble. Indeed, had 1t not been
for the absence of the roseate tint that
flushed her cheek in life, one could not
have been persuaded that, Death had
touched, with untimely frost, this fair
est flower of all the feld.h Alas! it
was her final repose; and at the con-
clusion OF the affecting and impressive
rites that obtain on these sorrowful
occasions, the funeral cortege took its
way from the church to the little grave
on the hillside, where all that was
mortal of the beloved child was laid at
rest, to await the resurrection promised
by Him who gave and who taketh
away.

Meteoric stone.

Surveyor Edwards informs us that,
during a recent visit to Jones' ranch,
near Copenhagen canyon, he was
shown by that gentleman a meteoric
stone, found in the western part of
Antelope valley, some three weeks ago.
1t is an oblate spheroid of about is
inches in diameter, is of a dark gravish
color, and, from its weight, evidently
contains a heavy percentage of metal.
A series of concentric rings, such as
may be observed IN the outer surface
of the cooled contents of the Stag pots
at the dump piles, denote the fact of its
having been thrown off in a molten
state, and its oblate fern is probably
due to the rapid whirling motion i'm.
parted t o it during its descent to the
earth. We believe hat very few of
these bodies that come from unknown
space have ever been found in this
State. although they are quite common
in Eastern museums. Mr.. Jones will
probably forward the n mentioned
to the Academy of Sciences, at San
Francisco.

appearance in Eureka about the first Of
