The Figure Nine.

A remarkable property of this figure
is, that all through the multiplication
table the product of nine IN to
nine. Multiply any number by nine,
as nine times two equals eighteen,
add the digits together, n plus eight
equals nine. So it goes on until We
reach nine times eleven equals ninety
nine. Very well; add the digits, nine
plus nine equals eighteen, and one
plus eight equals nine. Going on to
any extent it is impossible TO get rid OF
the figure nine. Take any number OF
examples at random and we have the
same result.

The ella Assessment.

VIM. A. Parrish, Secretary of the
ella Silver Mining Company, writes
us that our item in reference to the
levy OF a five cent assessment on the
stock of that company was incorrect.
We copied it from the Stock Report.
but n that the assessment referred
to was levied IN the ella Consolidated
Mining Company, of Arizona. The
numerous holders of shares i'm the
CHA Mining Company OF Reveille Dis
trict, in Eureka and elsewhere, will be
pleased to learn that no assessment has
been contemplated, and that the clos.
ing paragraph of the Secretary's letter
expresses a that dividends will be
in order before assessments become a
necessity.

Rode.

Az old prospector writes of Bodie as
follows: There are good prospects in
some three or four mines here. The
Standard is down 700 feet and looks we'll.
Next summer will tell whether we are
going to have a second Virginia here
or not. Lumber is scarce. Everything
bids fair to be overdone here in the
spring. There are l,500 people here at
present, and a heavy proportion OF
them out of employment. Seats at
Carson in the stage are engaged week
ahead. The price of wood is from Sl6
to 800 per cord. A ten by twelve house

Calico Hop and Festival.

Agrand calico hop and festival will
be given at Bigelow's Hall, on Tuesday
evening next, under the auspices of
the ladies, the proceeds of which will
be devoted to the Eureka Library AS

gether with ample opportunities for
Irritation, the may dance, and a gen
eral interchange of social enjoyments

worthy move, and we hope that the
citizens of Eureka, with their char
acterisiic liberality, will extend a
generous patronage.

New Race Course.

Application was filed at the Land
Registers Office, yesterday, for a des-
ert land location, embracing the ground
south of town, where the rosd turns
off into the Secret Canyon road. We
understand thai il is the intention of
the parties interesteelt to construct a half
mile race track on the flat at that point,
with the necessary buildings, stables,
grand stand. etc. The location, owing
to its proximity to town, will make it a
most eligible one, and the enterprise
will doubtless prove u paying invest
ment.

1t may be possible hat the identifi-
cation of the boots found in the pos.
session of Downey, recently arrested
on a charge of petit larceny, may lead
to his conviction of a graver crime.
At the time of the abstraction of the
boots about $3.50 worth of other prop
erty was stolen from the premises,
a cabin on Ruby Hill. Mention OF
the burglary was made in the SENTI.
MEL at the time, but no trace of the
thieves or property was discovered
until the late arrest of Downey. II
looks now as if there was going to be
enough cases to justify the calling of a
Grand Jury.

The party at the hall last evening
was a success in every particular, the
room being thronged with ladies and

IncalIed For Letters.

The mutations and changes Incl
dental TO a community are nowhere
better illustrated than at the Postoffice.
Letters and papers are daily received
addressed to parties who are either
dead or have vanished from this part
of the world, leaving no trace of their
present Whereabouts. Miners who
have met their death in the depths,
residents whose decease have been
chrOnicled but to whose friends and
relatives no communication has been
made OF their fate, criminals who rave
fled to unknown regions, the restless
prospector, driited to Arizona, the
Black Hills aud other localities-to
these letters come daily, and IN some
instances the missives have been reg
ularly received for years alter their
death or departure. 1t generally ends
by a letter directed to the Postmaster
asking Information as to their fate, and
some of these notes are very affecting.
A mother seeks findings OF her absent
son, a wife pleads for knowledge of
her lost husband, a sister inquiries fora
loved brother, and interested parties
desire to obtain news of friends To-
cations, usually stating that property
are involved. The Official, as
a rule, turns the correspondence over
to the newspaper, and through that
channel the inquiry is circulated un.
der the familiar head of "information
wanted" The letters addressed to de-
ceased or unknown parties are for
warded to the Dead Letter Department
Washington, and the papers, after
being kept on hand until a large sup
ply aceumulaies, are sold to store
keepers and laundrymen for wrapping
purposes,

turned last evening from an extensive

We occasionally hear howl of
agony from the Republican press
because the Democratic Legisla-
ture of Ohio has re-districted the
State In the Interest of the Dsmoc-
racy, thus initiating the Republi-
can Legislature of 1870. Under
the Republican gerrymander. Ohio,
which only gave Hayes six thous-
aud majority, was made, at the
same election, to return thirteen
Republican Congressman to nine
Democrats. The boot will now be
on the other leg. But this was by
no means the most fragrant in
stance of the Republican unfair
ness. Under The Republican ger
rymander In Indiana that State,
which gave Mr.. TiIden q consider
able majority tor President, was
made to return large majority of
Republican congressman. The

ana, also, aud the precise COM

pubilcans an excellent thing when
the chalice was pressed to Demo.

are sorry to note how surely the

our politics. The Republican party
Is certain to live to see the day

The Florida Fraud.

The only material difference be.
tween the fraud in Louisiana and
the fraud in Florida was that the
former cast eight votes and the
latter four. When the conspiracy
was started on the 9th Of Novem
ber to steal these two States, it was
indispensable that the conspirators
in both should act together under.
standingly. The cipher kilograms
which passed between New Orleans
and Tallahassee during the prog
ress Of the count make plain the
whole plan of operations, and
Frank Morey, cx-member Of Con.
gress and one of the Republican
counsel before the Returning
Board, admitted, in his recent tes-
timony, that If the programme for
Florida had failed, the organized
movement in Louisiana under the
lead of John Sherman would have
beed abandoned.
In other words, there was no OBJ
ject to be gained in stealing the
eight votes separately, because
they would not have consummated
the fraud, the entire twelve being
necessary to sum up the 185 votes
which Zach Chandler had auda-
oiolsly claimed when the conspir-
acy was set in motion by his falte
telegram. The methods used in
one case were pursued in the other.
Forgery, perjury, fabricated re.
turns, ballot box stuffing, manufac-
tured affidayits, and bribery were
the tools with which the conspira-
tors worked. And when success

IT is not q pleasant fact to chron-

that we have never defaulted In

ing strange, especially as the
