THE ATLANTIC CONSOLIDATED.
The Shaft In First.Class Order
The Work Of Development to
Begin at Once.

The repairs to the Atlantic Con-
solidated shaft we're completed last
Sunday afternoon, and the repairing
and cleaning out Of the connecting
drift commenced. These will require
three or four days longer, when the
work of developing the claim will
be resumed with very tine prospect
of making a good development at
no distant day. There are two lodges
on this property, both well-defned.
and about 100 feet apart. The west
ledge is from 21s to 4 feet in width,
and will mill $50 to $40 per ton
This is exclusive of about 90 feet
more of ledge matter which undoubt-
eddy makes into compact ledge,
aud, probably, ore, in depth. 1t was
from the surface workings of this
ledge that nearly 100000 worth
of bullion was extracted in 1861 So.
The other, or east ledge, is east of the
shaft about fifteen feet, and is verv
promising, but no milling ore has
been found in it as yet. Neither of
the lodges has been stripped or
drifted upon, however, so that their
value is only problematical; but in
view Of the yield of the west ledge
with the imperfect milling appliances
Of the early days, together with the
present showing of that ledge where
tapped by the main tunnel, the be-
lief that there is a good mine there
is reasonable. Superintendent Yule
is confident of being able to make a
e rod showing inside of sixty days.

A MIsLAID BILL.
Storey County's Claim for Caring
for Our INDECENT Sick In the
Last Quarter of 1877.

A]ssSs YesoA va Va ACsss
At the meeting Of the Board Of
County Commissioners, last Mon
day, Commissioner Torp, Of Storey,
appeared and requested that the
books and accounts of Lyon county
for the past year be examined, to
ascertain II the bill of Storey county
for taking care Of the INDECENT sick
of this county during the last quar-
ter Of 1877, had been allowed and
paid. The bill amounts to $3.50.
The books Of the clerk of Storey
conn y showed that the bill had
been audited and ordered to be sent
10 this county, but there we're no
further entries In regard to the mat
ter. The minutes Of the Board were
examined, and no mention of the
bill was found. Mr.. Torp thereup.
on expressed the hope that, although
the bill was outlawed by Limitation
our commissioners would not avail
themselves of that fact to refuse to
pay 1t, as 1t was an honest debt. He
was assured that, if upon investlgs-
ton the claim was ascertained to be
unsettled, it would be paid. He
thereupon bowed himself off, his
face lighted up with . smile extend
ing from the corners of his mouth
to the tips of his ears.

BRIEF MENTION.

William Hines will give soiree in
the Miners Union Hall, in this city
next Friday evening.
The battery Of Young and Sirlott's
new mill was started up yesterday
for = short trial run. It worked we'll.
The successful candidates at the
recent election can obtain their GER
tificates Of election on application to
John 8. Dallas, the County Clerk.
The new schoolhouse in Churchill
District will be accepted this evening
by the Trustees of that district,
and school will be held In it on and
after next Monday.
1t costs Storey county $1,000 a
month, or 500, 900 year, to take care
of her INDECENT sick. The cost to
Lyon county of the same class of
paupers does not exceed an average
Of $500 per month.
At the election held in Sutro last
Saturday, for the purpose of electing
a school trustee for that district, Ed.
Hancock received % votes, and
Michael Tobin received SO. The lat
ter is therefore elected.
Mr.. Goddard, the trustee of the
Kossuth who made thorough ex-
animation Of the mine Of that COM
pany, few weeks ago, writes that
he will return in few days to have
work resumed at the mine.
The Midgeley family left Dayton
last Saturday for Bodie-their future
home. Rumor has it that Miss
Midgeley will soon branch off from
the parent stem in company with q
former resident of Dayton.
John Bluett, foreman of the Sutro
tunnel, who was elected q sch ,ol
trustee at the general election, has
rendered his resignation to the Coun-
ty Superintendent. We presume that
there will have to be another election
to ill the vacancy thus made.
TIL eruts il the road between this
city and Dayton are being filed up,
and the loose rocks in the roadway are
being removed. This improvement is
very timely, as the road has been in q
disgraceful condition for months
past, and the complaints about i,
have been frequent and loud.
John Powell, Jr., of Dayton, the
District Attorney-elect, has been ap-
pointed notary public by Governor
Bradley, and has qualified according
to law. He is therefore ready for
business. There is but one other
notary public in the county, and that
Is John W. Grier, Wells, Fargo &
Cos agent in this place.
Dan Norton has been at work
placer mining in the bed of the creek
in the canyon, near Dayton. during the
past week. He has an assistant with
him. They get from five to ten cents
to the pan, and make between "a and
IS day. The bed Of that creek il
never-failing. 1t has been washed
over and over, every season, and al
ways pays living wages.
Justice TAFT having neglected tc
send his resignation to the Board Of
County Commissioners, the Silvel
precinct will probably be without I
Justice until Dan Harkins, the Jus
tice of the Peace elected at the lates
general election, shall assume the dis
charge of the duties of his Office
This will be on the first of January
In the meantime any unfortunate
who may be 'jugged" will be com
PEELED to wait for his trial until Jus
tice TAFT comes from Virginia. or un
ill Justice Hawkins comes from
Dayton. This will involve delay
which will be anything but pleasant
to the individual In durance vile.

The ssignnl Nine

Suit has been filed in the Eff. teenth District Court at San Fran cisco by Alonzo E. Davis to prevent the Signal Mining Compa- ny from collecting an assessment levied on the 18th of May last, on 6,436 shares owned by him. The complaint sets forth that Davis and Jackson McCrackin were the owners of the McCrackin ct al, Owen Dis trict, Washoe County, Arizona consisting of l,5OO feet. On the 18th of December, 1876, they made an arrangement with Wm. N. Leete to put 10-stamp mill, to work the mine and incorporate company, they to retain two-fifths of the cap ital stock, which should be exempt from assessment. Leete went into possession, took Thomas Ewing into the mine, and on the 2Sth of March, 1878, the two incorporated the Signal Company delivered Davis and McCracken 6,434 sh;r s of the Company stock each. Plain tiff claims that the assessment on all the stock is in violation of his contract with Leete, and that the only title the Company has to the mine is derived from Leete, and is therefore subject to the original contract. Judge Dwinelle granted a restraining order in accordance with the prayer of the complaint, and an order to show cause.

The sutro Tunnel.

The following is contained in a dispatch from Virginia City, Neva- da, under date of July Sth, at II P. M.; At 9 o'clock this evening, a drill-hole connected the 1G5O-foot of the Savage with the Sutro Tun- mel, and at at quarter to II o'clock eight giant powder cartridges were put in and exploded. The blast blew out a hole seven feet across, and instantly q rush of smoke and hot air whirled through the drift, blowing out the lanterns of the miners and filling the drift with dust and gravel. The Superin- tendents of the Savage and the bo- nanza mines, reporters of the press and others were present. A laddl r was put down and Sutro came up. There were congratulations and handshaking all round. The miners above ground hoisted the American flag, and beer was drank in tre- mendous quantities. The air was growing hotter and hotter as they left the drift, the mercury standing at about 1lO degrees. The draft isvery strong and is increasing. The surveys were correct. Water, to the amounto of l,2S5, 100 gallons per day, flows from the mouth of the tunnel.

Now that the Mineral Resources of Arizona are being rapidly developed, agricultural products will be in great demand and the Farmer will quickly find himself King, and while enjoying home comforts will reap largely of the golden harvest of the hardy minor. Prospectors who are searching the moun- tains for hidden treasures it may be poor as Jobs turkey-will in a moment find themselves Bonanza Kings and be able to revel in luxury the rest of their days; but all men cannot become owners of rich minesI All men cannot become wealthy farmers! To the great mass of man. kind the price of pork and beans will still be an object.
