Following is the official letter of the

Mining operations for the past week
have continued favorable, with good
progress in extending the various

favorable results have followed the ad-
vance of the drifts.
Stopping has been continued in the

broken down for hosting. Some 1000
car loads have been raised this week,
most of which has been delivered at
the furnaces. There appears to be no
dimlnution in the ore bodies, but all
continue strong, with no indication OF
weakening.

We learn that on a recent trip Of the
buck board attached to the Phoebe and
Eureka stage line, a bar Of bullion.
valued at $1,000, was lost or stolen
somewhere between Hamilton and
Phoebe. A vigorous search has been
instituted both for the treasure and the
thief, and it is extremely probable that
the efforts of the detectives will be
crowned with success. A bar of silver
weighing from so to 100 pounds, is not
an easy article OF plumber to dispose OF,
although in the early history of Eureka
the sale of a lot CT bullion, SO, 0 or
$40, 900 worth, was negotiated right in
town, the purchaser paying just one
half its value, and then, by remelting
it, disposed of it under cover of his
honest name without any trouble or
suspicion. He turned a very pretty
profit on it and laid the foundation of
a fortune by his sh%rewdness or dis
honesty. The thieves soon lost their
portion at faro and were none the
Weather in two weeks afterwards
by their exploits on the highway. The
same gang that were implicated in that
now well-nigh forgotten transaction,
overrun the Black Hills last summer,
and the most of them have come to
grief, and are either dead or expatiat-
ing their crimes in State Prisons.

A fellow who PROCESSES to be con-
nected with the company now per-
forming at the Theatre, hut who is nm
doubtedly an imposter, has for the
last two or three days waylaid a num-
Der of girls, ranging from ten to four
teen years old, and annoyed them with
insulting attentions. His plan has
been to follow them in their walks and
by holding out tempting offers of free
passes to the performances make ap-
pointments with them at the rear of
the building after dark. The little
ones informed their parents of the
brute's advances, and they would have
administered summary punishment
had they been able to find the fellows
whereabouts. There will be no me-
cessity for any arrestsif he is detected.
The girls gave an accurate description
of the man. and upon investigation we
found that there was no one connected
with the troupe who answers to it, a
fact that we are pleased TO learn, as his
unwarranted offers to procure them
free admission might attach an unjust
suspicion to some of the members OF
that organization.
