THE PERMANENCI OF TUE EUREKA
MINES

From the Eureka LroIer IF the sd inst
we gather the following gratifying estimates
and predictions relative TO the permanency Of
the Eureka mines At present Eureka is by
ali odds the most prosperous mining camp on
the Pacific Coast As to its future the Leader
says:
The dividend of $l5O,0O0 paid by the
Eureka Consolidated Company on the goth
instant, makes a total of 81 $50, 900 dis
bu1sed by that company since It's corporation,
against assessments levied amounting to
slOO,O or clear profit to the stockholders
Of sol per share since the mine was worked
by the present owners. No other base bull
hon mine in the world can show better
record, and the only approach to it is the
Richmond, the adjoining property, which is
the same lode and should be considered as
identical when figuring on the output OF Ruby
Hill. Since the starting of the furnace oil
Eureka ore III the spring of 1870 up to =
present date, Ruby Hill has yielded $40, OK,
900 in gold and silver, and the lowest pom,
reached in the workings is only 1000 feet.
1t may be safely asserted on the authority
Of past observations, that there is no class of
mines so permanent as base metal deposits.
No known instance of well defined vein of
this character giving out has ever been re-
corded, and there are base metal mines that
have been worked continuously for 1000
years, The developments on the great mineral
belt of Eureka District indicates that it will
prove no exception to the rule. The ore de-
posts continue downwardS and increase i'll
size and value as depth is gained. The 11th
level Of the Consolidated yielded largely, and
there is every reason to believe that the 18th
a. IL.
lowest point reached in the Richmond. The
9TH level in the X K Con. contains ore in
large quantities, and there is no doubt but
that the vein will he as prolific at depth OF
1000 feet as on the surface. The belt is
hardly explored as yet, hut the developments
made are pointing to AZ increase Ill its yield
of precious metals.

A dispatch from Baker City, Oregon, re-
ports that Colonel Sanford's command was at
Independence, Grant county, on Monday af

south toward the head OF Willow Creek on
Ironside Mountain. A messenger was sent
to Najor Egbert, who was supposed to be at
the mouth of the Weiser, and also to Captain
Wagner, who is near the same point. These
commands consist of 80 cavalry and las i'll
fantry in light wagons. The plan is to have
these columns move up the Willow creek val
ley and cut the hostiles off. Some suppose
they are making for the Malheur Agency to
surrender. Col. Forsythe, who is supposed
to be on the main trail of the hostiles, has not
been heard from, but is thought to be some
thirty mica from Indedendence, and from

A young man and his wife, striking out for
the West, says the Cheyenne Leader, arrived
at Cheyenne on Thursday, who are destined
to make their way through the world, "hard
times Or good" They have walked all the
way from Pennsylvania, and are en- route to
Nevada to take up homestead. They are
both intelligent, and stated that they were
unable to make anything but living in the
East, and had determined to strike West and
grow up with the country. Their reason for
walking was because they had not enough to
pay their fare. However, they are not pen
niless, and are not begging their way. After
resting and refreshing themselves they struck
out for the setting sun, full of a spirit that
cannot fail of success
