The year about closing, says the Virginia
Enterprise. will become noted in the near
future for its great discoveries Of mineral
wealth. Foremost among the new districts
Bodie takes the highest rank. Paradise
Valley. in Humboldt county. perhaps stands
second. Tuscarora may possibly be reck-
oned as the third. That Meadow Lake
IL likely 10 receive new life and . prosper
ous future 10 claimed by sanguine gentle
men, who declare they have made satisfac-
tory tests Of new methods Of reducing
its refractory ores. Another new dis
trict promises to open up 90 near Reno
a. to insure fortunes TO the discoyerers Of .
great lode, and TO greatly enhance real
estate values in the town Of railroad juno
tons. In the Eastern portion of the
State, in Belmont District, the Belmont
and Highbridge mines ; in Ward District.
the Martin White ; in Bristol District, the
Hillside; all give good promise. The
great mineral belt Of Eureka shows no
signs Of exhaustion, but rather one Of
gradual improvement. Lander county
holds it's own. Esmeralda county hopes to
come to the front in the near future by the
opening up Of the lower levels Of the old
Real del Monte. In the still further south
western portion Of the State new mining
districts are being prospected with great
vigor. The great Comstock mines were
never more full OF promise. Those which
have beer flooded For years will soon be
made dry. Then explorations hundreds Of
feet deeper will be successfully conducted.
without reference 10 the new ore bodies
partially uncovered, It may be confidently
predicted that the year will close with
greater hopes for the mining industry than
were ushered in with its dawn.

MINING AND Stock ITEMS.

The Bulwer Mining Company, 1t Bodie.
are said TO have some '~'fearfuliy and won
derfully" rich ore in their mine.
There is an impression abroad that when
Bodie gets down to about IS or Sc per
share it will be = very good thing to buy.
Preparations are being made to sink the
C. 4 G. shaft . further depth Of 200 feet.
This will give it a total depth Of about 2 400
feet.
Tho main incline Of Sierra Nevada is
still cutting into fine ore as sinking pro-
crosses, and all looks favorable for the
finding Of . irst-class bonanza at the $500
level.
The principal Office Of the bonanza
mines, 1t the Con. Virginia works, Is now
in communication by telephone with the
C. 4 G. shaft, Omega mill. Ophir mine
and North Con. Virginia shaft.
Stockholders Of the Belmont mine who
arc dissatisfied with the present manage
ment held . meeting Saturday night, in
San Francisco, for the purpose Of taking
initiatory action for q change OF manage
ment. Benjamin 8. Deltman, William
Mills and J.. X. N. Harvey were appointed

the mine, aud report at the next meeting.

Since Rev. Mr.. Kicker assumed charge Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, some
seven weeks ago. twenty-five members
have been added to the congregation. and
the number Of scholars in the Sabbath
School has increased from seven to fifty.
This ia certainly . creditable exhibit.
When Mr.. Kicker arrived in Eureka he was
told conidentislly by q worldly scamp,
with Bob Ingcrsoll tendencies, that . min
lister In Eureka needed more legs than
brains" Accepting the statement as liter
ally correct, the result Of his labors shows
that Mr.. Kicker possesses both, and is
therefore thoroughly competent to take
charge Of even . Eureka congregation. The
Sunday School scholars. assisted by several
well known ladies aud gentlemen Of Ruby
Hill, whose musical talents are Of = high
order, will give . sacred concert ct the
church on Sunday night. Shortly after
Christmas . festival will DO given by the
members OF the congregation, the proceeds
OF which will be devoted to paying for the
new seats with which it 10 proposed to fur
nish the church. 1t should be well patron
lied by our citizens.

ATTEMPTED


Oa mn
dersen's Insanity.
After the examination Of Mr.. L. C. An
derson before Judge Rives ON Wednesday
afternoon he was turned over 10 Sheriff
sias by the Judge. who left 1t discretionary
with the Sheriff - to whether he should be
confined or not. Mr.. Sias having, for .
couple Of years past, been convinced Of
Anderson's insanity. placed him in . cell.
Yesterday morning he slept until a late
hour, and upon awakening complained OF
being hungry. The Sheriff offered to &C.
company him to Moch's restaurant, but
Anderson desired that his breakfast should
be brought to him, which was accordingly
done. Upon its arrival he ate heartily,
and engaged in conversation with those
around him. The Chinaman who had
brought his food was standing by the stove,
cutting some tobacco. with al ordinary
three-bladed pocket-knife, when Anderson
suddenly leaped 10 his feet, wrenched the
knife from bis hands, and before any one
could interfere, stabbed himself three
times in the vicinity Of the heart.
The wounds were pronounced serious by
Drs. Bishop and Nesbitt, although, owing
to their locality TO the heart 1t was deemed
best not to probe them to their full depth.
Anderson was removed to his room in the
Consolidated clearinghouse on Buel
street, and at . late hour last night was
resting comfortably. 1t seems that when
. boy Mr.. Anderson was severely hurt in
the region Of the left temple, from which
he suffered for many years, and it is sup
posed that excessive drinking aided In
bringing OF fits Of temporary insanity.
While OF his way East . eonple Of years
since, and while passing through Iowa, he
became 80 violently aggressive that the
authorities placed him in IN asylum. he
was ct one time a partner with Joseph
Wells, Esq, in the Eureka foundry, and
has been engaged for several weeks in set
Ting his various business transactions.

"Come to think Of il, you're about

one or two occasions. when l struck . new

And we doubt II any Of the readers Of

to any great extent with this class. Our

something OF which our business COM

THE PARADISE MINES.
Coos Prospects In Every Location
in the Mineral Belt.

OoOu III Lively A<OCHskOAa
I'm the Mineral Belt.
Correspondence to the "silver State."I
PARADISE, New, Dec. 16.
Since my last there has nothing occurred
here, either startling or unexpected. The
outlook for the Paradise mines and the
little town Of Spring City, is most encour-
aging. The mines are astonishing the
most sanguine.
The Paradise Mining Company are tax
ing out very rich ore from their shaft.
From what we know here of the mine, and
feeling assured Of the permanency Of the
same, it is singular to us that the stock
should remain at so low . figure. The ore
houses will soon be completed, then will
the shipment Of ore for reduc-
ton. The manner in which the work has
been carried on shows that the Superin-
tendent understands his business.
The Big Prize mine superintendent
Walker is shipping ore that is very rich in
native. horn and s~ulphurets Of silver, and,
l should judge. would mill three hundred
dollars per ton. Quite q force Of men are
at work extracting ore from this mine.
The Alpine Is looking well, and bids fair,
from its location as we'll as its merits. to
be one of the best lodges in the mineral
belt.
The Wild Goose is looking well. Some
very fine ore is now being taken out Of the
incline.
The Mammoth, or Mt. Rose Mining Com
pany's mine, Superintendent w. T. Robin
son, is proving richer than the Superin-
tendcnt in his widest dreams ever ex-
pected. In the face OF the tunnel the ore
Is very rich. Eighty feet west Of the tun-
mel the ledge is twelve feet wide, eight feet
of which is ore that win assay from $500
to 5 1900 per ton. The hanging wall is
birds-eye porphyry, while the foot wall 10
black jack ~, proving it to be . contact
ledge aud . true issure vein. There 10
about sixty tons Of the above-described
quartz ore now on the dumps. Colonel
Robinson has ! road very nearly completed;
grade about one foot in mine. As soon -
completed. the Colonel proposes 10 build
an ore house and . boarding house at b
mine. We have had no snow or other bad
weather to interfere with mining opera
tions.
West Of Buttermilk cany On, T. J. Shaw's
mine, the Little Humboldt. is showing fine
ore--horn silver and ruby; formation,
granite and porphyry.
The Batisfa ledge, situated about two
thousand feet west Of the Mammoth, 10 be-
ginning to show fine ore, and it Ii thought
1t q depth Of fifty feet the ore will be -
good as any in the camp. Riconzoni, For
ney l. Holcomb are the owners. Success
attend them.
