Removing to Gold Hill.

Justice TAFT, of this city, is NOV.
ing to Upper Gold Hill. For over
year past the Justice has been en-
ployed in the Julia mine and had to
come from Virginia every day to the
business of his Office. This put him
to considerable trouble and expense,
but he bore both manfully, as he
wished to do right by his constitu-
ents. The weather has become
colder of late, however, and another
Justice has been elected. In view
Of these facts, Justice TAFT feels at
liberty to resign. This he will do
at the next meeting of the Board OF
County Commissioners. From this
time on he will reside on Fort Home
stead, within q few minutes walk
OF the Julia and Ward mines.

GONE TO DOG LAND.


ice Munckton's big dog, "Jack,"
who was known to every resident of
this city, died last Wednesday morn
ing, of some unknown disease. For
sometime he had been limping about,
but was not believed to have been
seriously hurt. For years Jack was
the boss dog in this section, and was
believed to be capable of licking
anything in the dog line in the world;
but about a month ago he run afoul
of Prince, the big watchdog owned
by Walter s. Co., and, for the first
time in his life, got badly licked, and
came out of the fight lame in the
left fore-paw and with an ugly cash
in the neck. Jack never recovered
from the effects of the fight, and it
is now believed that he must have
been wounded internally. Mr..
Munckton thought greatdeal of
Jack, and every night, about 9 O'Clock,
would make bed for him beside the
safe. If Mr.. Munckton neglected
to make his bed at the usual time
Jack would hunt him up and remind
him of his omission by barking at
him and Juggling at his clothes.
Once Jack was abed he kept every
body at distance, and it would have
been exceedingly dangerous tor any
one but Mr.. Munckton to have at
tempted to open the safe. The dog
was general favorite around town.
He was buried at the bottom Of the
old shaft on the vacant lot adjoining
the postoffice, in pine box made
for the purpose.

The Cherokee ssBarbecue."

A large crowd visited the Chero-
kee mine on Thanksgiving Day, to
examine the specimens of ore
brought to the surface from the re.
cent strike. Among the crowd were
many miners and prospectors who
have lived around here from the
early days. They all agreed that
the ore was as fine-looklng chloride
as has ever been seen in this camp.
Philip Geyer was on hand with a
wagon-load of beer.kegs, from which
all who felt so disposed helped them
selves. The best of good feeling pre-
vailed, all present being confident
that veritablc bonanza that would
assure the permanent prosperity of
this city had been discovered at
last.

THE WILLIAM PENN MINE.
A Well.Managed and Extensive
Property-A Claim Large Enough
for q Dozen Companies.

VoMoneSou anu Extensive
Property-AC Claim Large Enough
for a Dozen Companies.
The William Penn Mining Com
pany, which is one of the few incor.
porations in this district upon whose
claim work has been continued
uninterruptedly through the de-
preston from which we are emerging,
can show more work for less money
than probably any other company in
the vicinity of the Comstock. Only
three assessments, aggregating &c.
900, have been collected, yet with
this comparatively small amount of
money four tunnels 6x7 feet, having
an aggregate length OF about 1850
feet, have been run, and two cross
cuts aggregating about 100 feet in
length, have been driven. These
tunnels and crosscuts have developed
three lodges, 8, 10 and 20 feet in
width, respectively, and carrying ore
of low and medium grade wherever
cut into. Some of this ore is good
milling, but most of it is of too
low grade to pay expenses. The
quartz in the face of the crosscut in
tunnel No. 2 is steadily improving,
however, and Mr.. Langridge, the
Superintendent, expects to develop a
body of paying ore in eighteen or
twenty feet more.
The William Penn is located on
Chicken Hill, and adJoins the Erie
Consolidated on the north. The
claim is 1900 feet in length, by at
least as much in width, and includes
fine mill-site. As stated above,
there are three well-defned lodges in
the claim, named the Bonita, the
Front, and the Back ledge. All of
these lodges we're worked in the
early days, and paid handsomely.
The capital stock of the company is
divided into 100000 shares, but it is
not on either of the Boards. AL
marin B. Paul, the well-known
metallurgist, is the President, and
George Langridge is Superintendent.

the CHEROKEE ORE-STRIKE.
ITS EXTENT STILL UNDETER.
MINED.

The Discovery Drift Twenty-Five
Feet in Ore, and More Ahead
A Sample being Extracted for
Milling Etc.
The ore-body struck on the 100
level Of the Cherokee mine improves
in width and quality as it is cut into.
Ore was first struck last Sunday,
about ten feet south of the incline.
At that point about six inches of ore
came in to the top of the drift. Since
then the drift has been continued
about fifteen feet further, when fire.
quent caves and quite an influx Of
water compelled the miners to stop,
although the ore was making into the
drift at the rate OF about two inches
to the foot. Tho drift was securely
timbered and Jagged, and a stope
opened about halfway between the
breast and the station. This stope is
now about six feet above the roof Of
the drift, and all sides of it are in ore
assaying over 500 per ton.
Good miners entertain no doubt
that the ore-body will prove large.
This, they claim, is shown by the
regularity of the formation, the uni
form quality Of the ore, and the open,
porous character Of the quartz. This
being SO, the next question is, what
is the ore worth for milling pur-
poses? This question is about to be
satisfactorily answered. Six or seven
tons of ore have been raised to the
surface already, and more is being
stopped out. AS soon as fifty or a
hundred tons are extracted, it will
be milled. If the yield comes any
where near the assays, hosting and
pumping machinery will be erected
On the mine at once, and work re-
sumed in the face of the drift.

Another lot of about twenty tons

Edison mine, in Delaware district to-
morrow. This lot will be of average
ore, such as is extracted from the
ledge without sorting. 1t will be
worked at McJilton's arastra.
An assessment of fifty cents per
share, aggregating $4,000, payable
Immediately and delinquent on the

meuts have been levied by this COM
pany since June, 1876.
The bail given at the Bonanza Ho-
tel, in Sutro, last Thursday evening,
is spoken of as great success.
About forty couples were present
from all parts Of the county, and
dancing was kept up until after 5
O'Clock on Friday morning. The re-
ceipts were one-third more than the
expenses. The surplus was pre-
sen.ed to the landlady by the CON-
mittee who got up the ball.

And you'd do well to try it;
