EUREKA Por-HuNrERs.
A Blast From s;,ko.


The Elko Independent fires this shot at
our hunters Some years since an en-
terprising citizen of Elko expended several
hundred dollars Of his own money in inn
porting large numbers of Eastern and Cal
ifornia quail, for the laudable purpose Of
stocking the valleys of the eastern portion
Of Elko county with those splendid game
birds. The effort was crowned with en-
couraGing success, and the birds began to
multiply with surprising rapidity, and
every lover Of field sport in this locality
was delighted with the prospect Of a boun-
tiful supply Of feathered game. Presently
the pot-hunters Of Eureka came down, liks
wolves on the fold, and quickly bagged
every quail in Elko county. We now learn
from gentlemen just returned from a hunt
ing tour in the South Fork hills, that the
Eureka pot-hunters are raiding upon the
deer in that region, and are literally dcce-
mating the entire deer family without re-
gard to age, condition or sex. On Satur-
day last the Eureka gang had secured five
deer and We're still on the war-path. Will
not the l~aw-abiding citizens Of Eureka
assist us in protecting the game and in
bringing the vandal pot hunters to JUS
tire3n

quarrelling and dissatisfied owners will
grow rich from their dividends alone.
There is another thing, too, which this
new find will demonstrate to those fault
finding Englishmen, and that is that their
property is wisely and judiciously worked
under the supervision Of Manager Richard
Its smallest as well as its largest and
most valuable concerns engaging the at
tention Of the same vigilant officer. Those
men are, like the fox in the fable, never
satisfied, and, like Oliver Twist, still cry
for more-albeit they have already received
more from the Richmond than they have
from any other mining venture in which
they have been ever before engaged on
this continent.
The above will be welcome news to Eu-
rekans. 1t insures success and increased
activity in every department OF industry
in which our citizens are engaged. 1t
means an attraction for outside capital; it
gives confidence to present investors; will
influence others with a desire to invest;
will give increased circulation to coin,
value to our properties, and awake a
healthy emulation in the breasts OF Il
citizens, while it inspires them with re-
newed confidence in the future Of their
district.

He was a young man from Alpha that
arrived on tho train last evening, and with
his girl came promcnading mp from the
depot. 1t was evident from their looks
that stocks had iris" and that the young
man had cleaned up a little coin, and was
going to enjoy himself in a rational man.

rexa. They proceeded arm in arm up Main
street, gazing with opcn-mouthed wonder
ment at the many sights until they reached
Fisk's confectionery store here the attrac-
ton was too great and a pause was effected.
The young lady looked lovingly and smil-
ingly into the eyes Of her escort, then long
ingly at the peaches II sugar plums.
With true gallantry our hero led the way
into the fine dining parlor Of Mr.. Fisk,
and after being comfortably seated they
were asked what they wished in the way of
refreshments. The young lady, being very
reticent, remained silent, but the young
man, in the largeness Of Ills heart, called for
Some of that cold pudding, for two" As
Jimmy brought them some ice cream q

mouth, and he (Jimmy) regretted that he,
too, had not a few shares of Bodie.

The Great Fight for Supremacy.

Ahc NfeHt FAshS h0F supremacy
The telegraphic correspondent Of the
Virginia Chronicle sends to that paper of
Tuesday, the following s'From present
indications I believe there is a bigger war
about to be declared than has aver vet
shook the names Of the Comstock. 1t is
a universal kicking over Of established
aggregation of outside capital to wrest the
sceptcr Of supremacy from the Nevada
Block.
The stoppage of dividends in Con. Yir-
ginia and the reduction of the same in
California last month, coupled with the
certainty that neither mine will pay a
dividend this month, has invited the at
tack, and scores Of men who first got their
start i'll bonanza times stood ready to turn
on the hands that fed them. That is hn-
man nature. There was never yet a bene-
factor or an almoner who could count on
his beneiciaries to the end Of time.
There is a lot Of resentfal capital here
ready to help the thing along when the
times comes, and there is little doubt that
the war is to be. u~nrelenting. How far the
bonanza party are willing to go Of course
is a conjecture. They can break the thing
up if they want to. Flood is bold and
powerful, and his means and credit are ex-
haustless, but there is a limit to ambition
for money getting. May he not say to
himself: Let the boys have a chance. I
have enough to satisfy the most grasping.
Mackay is i'll Europe, Fair is satisfied,
O'Brien is dead. Why seek to wrest every
element Of wealth from the reach of my
fellows. Let them have it,
Will he do this? If he does there will
be no war. II he does not, there will, and
between the two elements We will see the
l~iveliest turn on the Pacific coast in stock
circles we have ever yet encountered"

MURRAM FOR PROSPECT NOUN
TAINf


Another Dcveropment-The Eureka
Tunnel and Mining Company's
Property wheels Into Line as
an Ore Producer.
In addition to the Richmond strike,
which we chronicle elsewhere in this issue,
we have now the pleasure Of reporting a
strike in the Eureka Tunnel, General Con-
nor's undertaking, which, in common
with other reported developments, will ex-
crcise no small influence in promoting the
prosperity Of this district, and in still fur
ther adding TO its Importance abroad.
General Conner yesterday, in company
with some friends, visited the tunnel,
whose initial point is located Immediately
north Of the Bald Eagle property, owned
by Messrs. Titus 4 Company. and while
there inspecting it, had the satisfaction Of
examining some very promising quartz
that had been cut in the header during the
forenoon. This find had, Of course, the
usual celebrating effect not alone upon
the General and his companions, but also
upon the contractor and his men, who, be-
fore quitting work, buried their picks to
the sockets in the stuff which has made
Eureka prosperous. Mr.. Murphy, the con-
tractor, who came to town after six o'clock
to report the strike, says that the whole
face of the tunnel Is in ore Of a
toierably fair grade. This will be
cheering news for those concerned, and it
adds another proof to the value and import
ance Of the Base Range as a mining center.
The lateness Of the hour at which the ore was
cut, together with tho little distance which
it has been penetiated prevents, of course,
an opinion being formed Of the actual
value and dimensions of the ore body. We
can. however, say that the ore is there to con-
found the skeptics who have been SO loud
in detracting from the merits Of this enter
prise, due as it is to the exertions OF the
gentleman named above.
The tunnel has penetrated the eastern
slope OF Prospect mountain. and is about
1868 feet on its course to its western termi-
nation, in the ncighbarhood of the Ell Do
RADIO mine, owned by the Ruby Con. Com
pany Of London. The point at which the ore
was cut approximates 400 feet vertically
from the sloping surface of the hill, and
the trend Of the tunnel, after passing
through the series Of locations embraced
in the property of the company, will serve
as a means of developing the Magnet. the
Alexandra, the Industry, and other valua-
bic properties located on its line.
This is a very important strike, upon
which we compliment the General and his
colleagues, to whom the thanks of the peo-
pic Of this district is due, for the unfiag-
ging industry with which they have, in the
face Of many difficulties, pushed forward
this great undertaking.

THE PLAGUE.


All through the Southern States the ter
rible plague Of yellow fever is raging like
FIRE; the scourge is upon the people and
their terror is running them wild. Any
panic is fearful, but that arising from a
plague is beyond the power Of pen to do
scribe. In hundreds Of cities, between
Cairo. Illinois. and the Gulf. the inhabit-
ants are utterly helpless. and it takes
money to SEND them relief in the way OF
nurses and supplies for that peculiar di-
sease. Through the Northern States and
Territories relief COMMITTEES are organic
ing to aid them, and the time for those Of
Ruby Hill and Eureka to act il at hand.
None can refuse in such a cause Us this to
add their mite, and to expedite matters in
the crisis, in the moment when every ac-
ton counts TO save lives, Drs. Bazet. Nes-
bitt and Thoma will to-day canyass Eureka
for subscriptions. These gentlemen
are in earnest to aid the needy, and the TX
experience is incentive enough to cause
them to work with a will, that they may
send on to the Howard Association imme-
diately a round sum as a donation from
the people of these parts. Other parties
will solicit aid on Ruby Hill.

II There Talent for n Lively Theat.
rieal Company In Eureka:
The evenings are frightening out as
the Fall and Winter season approaches,
and to q newcomer in Eureka the FEAST
bility Of organizing a theatrical company
OF amateurs looks plausible. There are
many occasions where a troupe Of this char
acter could exhibit their benevolence-
could do an immense amount of good, in
a charitable way, by spending q very small
portion Of their spare time, for a week or
more prior to an exhibition, in studying
up characters in the various roles Of
amusement that would he acceptable to a
great number OF our theater-gocrs.
We say that to q newcomer the project
looks feasible, because some OF the old
timers might be able to come forward with
a communication which would knock into
''pi" the idea Of any snch company.
If the scheme OF such an arrangement was
looked into and adopted by energetic par
ties resident here, they should call for all
the help they could get; they should never
neglect the advantage Of novelty; bring out
the dancers, the musicians, the singers and
the actors adapted to the many char
actcrs. Society plays are preferable to
Shakespearcan tragedies for the average
amateur, no matter what his own opinion
may be. There il no limit to the variety
Of subject and style to be found within the
compass OF enc act. There are many writ
ten plays to be had to-day, in act Of
which can be drawn out the aptitude Of the
amateur for comedy, farce, burlesque, ex-
travaganza, drama, opera and tragedy.
Admirably adapted are hundreds 0 tie
plays to be had, for amateur acting. Char
acters are plainly marked, the dialogue is
smooth and easily understood, and a
shrewd manager will generally %circumvent
the difficulties of proper scenery and
mounting by ingenuity and persever-
ance. We don't mean to go to any such ex-
treme as to try and make a leading char
actcr out Of Mother Cadnc for 1.-The Lady
Of Lyons" nor s.Tile Hnnchback" out Of
a ~swayback, bnt with a good, strong COM
pany Of interested parties, we do believe
talent could be found in Eureka to while
away many o long evening during the com
ing winter months, pleasantly and profit
ably. All amateurs are not bad and there
might be found some remarkably good
ones hereabouts. There arc still some
left, who have volunteered on various be-
nevolent occasions heretofore, that would
stand in il al agreeable arrangement could
be entered into.

Well al the RnllIe MING.


William NJ. Lent, one Of the principal
owners OF the Bodie mine, who was in yir-
ginia City Tuesday, informed the Enter
prise that the yield Of the mine named
will be over 5000, 900 for the present month.
Previous to this time bullion to the value
Of $500, 600 has been shipped. Mr.. Lent
on Monday received a dispatch informing
him that $50, 900 more had been shipped.
with bullion on hand to the value of
$40, 900, and two days run yet to make.
which would give $50, 900. giving a grand
total Of $500, 600 for the month. This, Mr..
| Lent informs us, has been extracted at o
| cost Of but $4,000. He also received a
| dispatch which states that ore Of the finest
| character is still being developed in the
| various directions in which explorations
are in progress. No sign Of weakening is
| vet shown by the bonanza in any part
| where openings have been made.

promenade concert. met at their church
at 8 o'clock last night, and reported pro-

aries to the programme were lacking. the
