Ruby Hill Its Business, Popula-
ton. and General Outlook.

-
To the local reader this item will be Of
but little interest, but as we are constantly
in receipt of letters Of inquiry concerning
Ruby Hill, its location, etc., we publish,
for tho benefit Of such of our readers as
are DESTROYS OF learning Of that camp, tie
following
Ruby Hill il situated in a fine chain Of
mountains, about three and a half or four
miles from this town, in a soutiwesterly
direction, and has at present a population
of about 1900. The business portion of
the town is located in q deep guleh, though
the private residences. Of which there are
some three hundred, are very scattering,
extending along the canyon and on the
mountain side, thereby being quite secure
from a general c~onlaeration. Nearly all
branches Of business are represented.
though on not u very extensive scale.
Hotels. restaurants and saloons are the
most numerous and best patroniztd, as
people desiring extensive purchases usually
come to Eureka, where they can have
choice from larger and more complete
stocks. The PostDfice is located in the
heart Of the town, and is presided over by
a very pleasant and accommodating Nasty,
by the name of J.. W. Lambert.
As to the general outlook of the town,
there are few camp that can boast Of a
better showing. The mines that are de-
veloped to any extent are in the edge Of the
town, and are fast gaining a reputation for
their wealth and vast bodies of ore. There
are many claims located which pros
pect well, and will undoubtedly soon rank
among the rich bonanzas Of the State.
The Eureka Consolidated, the Phenix, the
X X and the Albion are all within a stones
throw OF the principal business houses,
and OF the wealth of these mines the gem
eral reader is familiar.
The society is not large or fashionable,
bat what it lacks in these respects it makes
up by being intelligent and sociable.
There are two churches with good congre-
cations, the Catholic and Methodist, and
what the preachers can't tell their respec-
tive audiences about the things above,
some old miner can be found who will ex-
plain all about the Flower levels" On
the whole, Ruby Till is steadily on the
improve, and as soon as the mines are all
working and an additional force Of men put
to work, it will be Il camp Of importance,
and the Miners Union augmented far above
its present number Of 400, and the town
will be a business center Of no mean sig
uiticance.

County Comm;sssioners.

The Board met yesterday to further con-
slider the bids for the erection Of a new
Courthouse. Commissioner Sadler ia
vored the acceptance of Mr. Ryland's bid,
holding that it was the only perfect bid be-
fore the Board. Commissioner Page ar
gucd that u technical error should not
weigh, and Captain Rock having the lowest
bid Of the lot, was ehtitls d to the contract.
Contractor Burke asked that the bids be
advertised over again. The session was a
stormy one, and wrangling pro and con
among the Commissioners and contrac-
tors was the order OF the day. Finally,
Commissioner Page, becoming ~disgusted,
moved that all of the bids be rejected.
His motion was carried with the aid Of
Commissioner Horn, Commissioner Sad
Ter not voting. This ends the Court-house
business for this season. The Board ad-
%journed to meet on the first Monday in

General Common for Governor.
A Democratic admirer of General Con-
nor has requested the publication Of the
following
EDITOR SENTINEL Deacon Parkinson, in
the Necdda Tribune Of Tuesday, in an ar
ticle opposing General Conner for Gov
ernor, does him justice in an admission as
follows at is q we'll recognized fact that
General Connor is a good man, and would
doubtless make a just and able Cover
nor"
Correct. We concur. The General has
proven his administrative ability in his
treatment Of the Mormon question, when
in command of the troops in Utah. Dur
ing his long term Of service there, he never
cultivated Brigham Young /; in fact, never
exchanged one word with him, yet COM
PEELED him to know that he was subservient
to the Government before that time,
Brigham had either cajoled or intimidated
every officer sent to Utah. Judging q man
by his past acts, the Deacon is correct in
saying "the General would make a lust
and able Governor !" and if we must have
an Executive from the Republicans, let us
have one such as they themselves endorse
as above. *x*
