Died From His IpJuries.

f.. Hyman, a Pole, thirty-eight years
of age, died at the German Hospital
yesterday, says the Call of the 18th in
slant, from the effects of wounds in
iicted by his own hand on the Sth in
slant. He las in the employ of H.
Lando, 3l7 Kearney street, and it had
been noticed by his employer and
others, for some time before the sui
cidal attempt, that he acted strangely.
On the Sth instant he went to his room
at 504 Powell street, and after making
an unsuccessful attempt to cut his
throat, put a pistol ball through his
head. He was removed to the German
Hospital for treatment, but the bullet
wound finally proved fatal.
Deceased came to- Eureka about six
months ago, and was in the employ OF
Meyers Il Franklin for a time, and
afterward with A. Berwin up to the
time of his departure to San Francisco.
He never exhibited any suicidal ten.
denotes during his stay, but those
familiar with him state that symptoms
OF insanity were noticed, his conduct
at times being strange. He left Eureka
about two months ago TO accept a stu.
alton at the Bay.

improvements to the Hall.

The long promised improvements to
Bigelow's Hall will be commenced at
and the building will undergo an
alteration that will transform it into a
first class theater. The entire roof
will be removed, and the walls raised
an additional height of ten feet. This
will give ample room for the CALLER
les, and the introduction of the latter
will seat at least 400 more than can
now be accommodated, giving that
much more capacity. A new roof
will take the place of the old one, and
it will be ceiled with wood instead OF
canvass, as at present. Other improve
ments will be made, as experience and
utility suggest. aud We are satisfied
that by the time the job $ finished we
car boast of having a public hall that
will meet all the necessary require.
ments. Mr.. Bartlett would have com :
menced the work at an earlier date,
but the hall was engaged by two diff
ferent organizations hat have since
disbanded before reaching this point.
The proprietor expects to finish the
job by the first of June, and the thea.
ter will probably be inaugurated by
the Den Thompson Troupe, who will
open a season on the third of June.

1.-THE way of the ransgressor is

the circus, and were bringing their fam

when we learned the gentlemen were
bachelors in easy circumstances. Up
on their arrival they were overwhelmed

OF course we explained the circum

the Chairman had to stand the brunt
of it. 1t took considerable skirmishing
and a great deal of smooth talk on
Smiths part before the gentlemen

POISONOUS VEGETATION.
Opinions of the Knowing Ones on
Eurek n GrasSes.


The death of a valuable trotting
horse, the property of DIR. A. G. Bishop,
mention of which fact was made in
yesterdays issue, was attributed to the
animal eating the grass on the hillsides
in the neighborhood of Eureka. We
learned from a discussion among the
moving ones over the decease of the
horse, that the mortality among stock
in this immediate neighborhood has
been very large, and they state that it
is owing to the poisonous dust and
fumes that settle on the vegetation.
Stock eat it heartily and with relish
and are oon after taken with all the
symptoms of lead collie, and die in a
very short time from its effects. Several
cases in point were cited, and among
them that of j teamster who turned
out sixteen animals on the hill below
the Consolidated works, where they
grazed during the night, and the next
day fifteen head of them yielded up
the ghost. Many other instances were
mentioned, all tending to prove the
theory, and one observing gentleman
gave 1t as his opinion that the cats and
dogs OF the town, the most of whom
are VIGOROUSLY subject to fits, catch the
infiiction from their habit of browsing
on tender blades of grass. 1t may be
possible that the discerning gentlemen
are correct in their theories, and own.
efs of stock, and those who place their
affections on CANNES and felines, may
profit by the hints conveyed above.
To fully test the death dealing qualities
of the vegetation of the canyon, we
have caused a quantity of the grass to
be gathered and forwarded to Dan De
guile, of the Enterprise, who is ex-
p~erimenting OF various devices with
which to kill off the Comstock goats,
and are anxiously awaiting a report
from him on the subject. If il works
on them, and proves to possess exter-
minating powers sufficient to make a
sure shot on fetching 'em, our fortune
is assured, and we will do a large ex-
port trade in fume ~impregnated hay.
Dan has promised to post us in a few
days, and we will lay the results be-
fore our readers.

No Room.

Notwithstanding oft repeated and
widely circulated warnings. the influx
of men seeking employment continues,
and the force of idlers is daily aug.
meuted by fresh arrivals. The fame
of Eureka as a prosperous and thriv-
ing district attracts the miner and la.
borer from all the played out camps
in the State, and the consequence is
that at least eight hundred men are
vainly seeking work. At present
every channel is filled, but people will
throng here in spite of all that may be
said and written. We suppose there
is no way of averting the evil only to
let them learn the truth of the warn,
ings by bitter experience. We hearth
ly wish that Bodie, Tuscarora, or some
other mining section would develop
bonanzas by the score of sufficient
wealth to create a furore, and entice
the honest but unfortunate seekers af
ter employment beyond our borders.

WE REPLY.
A Few Points of Information.

In reply to the questions of Mr.. Err.
rickson, a gentleman residing at Mo.
berly, Mo-, who writes us a letter oil
inquiry relating to the agricultural
prospects in the vicinity of Eureka,
we would state that from all appear
ances the sagebrush promises a plenti-
ful crop of jackass rabbits, unless
there is an unlocked for visitation oil
s~hotguns and a consequent blighting
of the product. AS to the price that
land can be procured at in this vicinity,
Wa answer that it is somewhat varia-
BILE. For instance, in Diamond val
ley, four bits a square mile would be
considered a fair rate, while on Ruby
Hill, about $1,000 a foot would be
nearer the mark. Stock does well, I'M
less it is of the wildcat breed. Cattle
are very prolific. We know one man
whose starter was a work steer that in
creased in his band to such an extent
that he vas able to retire from bust
ness, and has provided himself with
all the conveniences of an elegant
stone mansion a few miles from Car
son We presume that Mr.. Errick-
son could do equally as well if he is
possessed with the spirit of enterprise.
There is no lack OF opportunities to
accumulate wealth in this section. A
hard worker a find employment in
the stage stopping line, a business that
promises large returns, either in silver
or lead-just as n happens to strike
it. Come along, Mr.. Erickson. We
are dripping knowledge from every
pore, and are anxious to share it with
you and your neighbors. Write
again if you think we have not been
elaborate enough in imparting it.

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.
superintendent Richards Official
Letter.

The last official letter received at the
company's office in London is as fol-
lows /:
Telegram from the mine at Eureka,
Nevada Weeks run, 800, 900, from
1850 tons of ore. Weeks produce of
refinery, S55, 900. Since my last devel-
opments in the mine have been carried
on with very good success. The stope
in the 200 is looking well, the ore is
making down behind the drift on the
footwall, a winze has been sunk from
the stope 20 feet, and connected with
the 200 main drift by a cross cut; the
Wine is all in high grade ore, the bot
tom is equally good, and we are o
preparing to sink below this level and
follow the ore in depth. The 200 main
drift is on the quartzite, and is showing
occasional stones of ore. The 400 main
drift is at present without ore. The
winZe being sunk below this level is
down 50 feet, all the distance in ore;
the last 80 feet is rather low grade, but
the present bottom is improving, and
producing good stones of galena; all
the Wine is in ore, and how much
wider has not been ascertained. No. Z
chamber is opening out very well, and
much improved since my last; from
the bottom of this chamber a winze has
been started, and sunk a depth of Is
feet in high grade ore. Nos. 4, 5 and 8
chambers are looking well, and much
improved since my last. The 500
cross-cut has been resumed, and the
present end is in very hard limestone.
The 600, onquartzite, is without change.
The same can be said of the 500. on
quartzite. The 500, on the line, is look
ing very promising. The 900 has been
drifted since my last 80 feet through
soft ORGY matter, with occasional stones
of good ore; it is looking very promis-
ing. The furnaces are smelling the
usual quantity OF ore, and are in good
working order.

There is one little spot, about seven
miles from town, that presents many
attractions at the present time, and is
quite a resort for riding and driving
parties. 1t is a small canyon in the
Diamond mountains, about two miles
back of the Italian vegetable ranches.
A number OF springs bubble out of the
hillside, and quite a volume OF water
tumbles down over the rocks in minia-
lure cascades and falls. The green
grass and vegetation is luxuriant, and
all it needs to make it pleasant is a few
trees. Watercress is very plenty, and
many people visit the place for the
purpose Of gathering that edible plant.

Tampering with a Child.

Officer Causey last evening arrested
one Peter Cans, on a charge of tamper-
ing with a little girl. We learn that
he enticed the seven-year old daughter
of a citizen from the rear portion Of the
dwelling-house to the neighborhood OF
the cemetery. A little brother, who
followed them, suspected that some
thing "a wrong, and running back
alarmed the mother, who sent some
men in pursuit. The fellow had not
succeeded in accomplishing his pur-
pose, and was arrested and taken to
Jail, and the little girl was returned to
her home. If the above facts are
proven at his trial, no punishment
would be too severe for the wretch.

Popular.

The song "Baby Nine" so sweetly
rendered by Mr.. Dixon duringth h stay
of the Haverly Minstrels, has become
all the rage at the Bay. The street
gamins whistle it, tender misses prac.
tise it on the piano, serensders volcal-
ize it under their immoratas' windows,
and music dealers are unable to sup
ply the popular demand. Mr.. Nj. IL
Joseph, of the Golden Rule store, has
made arrangements to procure 1t, and
those desiring it can leave their orders
with him, and he will deliver the mel
ody to customers in a short time.

A Variety of Sounds. Melodies and
Otherwise

ObucE WlScs
The early hours of Tuesday morn
ing last, before the gray dawn sum-
moned our citizens from their beds,
were made melodious by many noises,
some familiar, and others the reverse.
The musical he haw of Ennis donkies
opened the entertainment, and first
broke the silence. The notes had not
ceased to reverberate before they were
answered from far up the canyon by
the terrible roar of the Gagged lions in
Forepaugh's menagerie. The beasts
seemed to be possessed with a restless
fit, and their deep growls increased in
volume until the hills resounded and
echoed back the sonorous sounds.
Those familiar with the contents of
books of adventure, required but q
slight impulse to their imaginative
faculties in order to fancy themselves
amid an African jungle, where the king
of beasts adds his free presence to the
terrors of the situation. One was soon
recalled to civilization, however, by
the utterance of a belated ROSTER, who
was beguiling his homeward journey
with the popular refrain, caught at the
circus, of "Whoa, Emma" Right
here Chinatown broke in with a dis
cordant medley of jargon, pitched in a
falsetto key, denoting the progress OF
an exciting discussion among the
Celestials. This in turn gave place 20
the songs of the Cornish glee club,
which fioated to the ear, mellowed by
distance and softened by the night air,
until all harshness was eliminated,
making the melody a vocal fascination.
These, intermingled with the strains of
catgut and sounding brass from The
hurdy houses, an iDterlude Of musical
and love lorn cats on the back fence,
and the added trumpet-toned and stri-
dent snore of a sleeper in the next
room, made up a combination of
sounds that could not be excelled for
variety. The breaking morn silenced
the most of them, and they were
hushed or forgotten as the busy and
noisy days life was inaugurated.

Sudden Death.

II. Cannon, an employe at the Rich
mond furnaces, died very suddenly
yesterday morning. He went off of
shift in his usual health, fingered for
half an hour at the Ottawa Hotel, and
without any premonitory symptoms of
dissolution, dropped dead. The ex-
citing cause was supposed to have been
heart disease. The body was removed
to Schwamb's undertaking rooms and
III funeral will take place to-day.

clans. or how much medicine you have tried,
it is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given
complete satisfaction in severe cases of lung
diseases. 1t is true that there are yet thou
throat and lung affections, consumption,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe colds settled on
the breast, pneumonia, whooping cough. etc,
who have no personal knowledge Of Boschee's
