The real fight which the Republicans
have been making was to obtain control
of majority OF votes in the State delega-
tions, 80 that, in case Of an election be.

secure majority of the California dele

True to our instincts, expressed in yes

at Mr.. D. W. Levan's last night was in
every aspect a most thorough exemplifca-
ton Of true, social enjoyment. The effect
Of these gatherings is to bring together the
young ladies and gentlemen Of our town.
and to throw them into immediate contact
with those Of matured and the
result is most happily reciprocal; for,
while the young ''learn from the wisdom Of
age" those Of ripper years ''are checred by
the sallies Of youth" The popularity Of
these sociables is becoming greater with
every successive meeting. The next one 10

EUREKA, November IL, 1878.
Since my last, the 200-foot level has
changed considerably; porphyry coming in
freely, and from appearances, we are
nearly through the hard rock. The forma-
ton is yet broken, quartz and porphyry
being intermixcd; but in the porphyry we
find small pieces of good ore, and carbon
ates of lead. We have advanced this level
1872 feet west Of the main shaft. Should it
improve still more l will telegraph. On
the S0-foot level we are still following the
ore; sometimes it is but small, or a mere
seam, then again widening out. This
drift is advanced t42 feet west of the big
ore chamber, and here also l look for a
change of formation every day.
We must get through tae hard rock be-
fore VIC can expect any permanent ore
bodies or vein; and we are making good
progress towards it every day. The con-
tract drift is not being worked at present,
but l will put men to work there next
week. | am taking out some ore every
day Of good quality, and will make a ship
ment at the end Of the month.

Extract fronl a personal letter to the Sec
rotary from superintendent Wermuth
EUREKA. November IA, 1878.
You will see by my last official letter to
the company, that our main (2OO-foot)
drift is improving; porphyry coming in.
To any one not familiar with mining, this
may seem to be of little significance, but
in our case it il of great value. This is
what is termed tie contact. or where two
formations come together; and between
those formations, or in the softer one we
are sure to find our mine. Still. we may
have to crosscut and drift some distance
before we reach it, as we have got an i'm
mense vein to prospect: but once found in
this formation and we can depend upon it
so long az we want to mine. OF course, it
may vary in size, now large and then
small, but it is pretty certain that we shall
always have ore after that. Our prospects
have never been better han they are to-
day.

must be laid to Senator salisbury, who
represented the Democrats on the Commit
tee. / talked to the Committee about three
hours, when Salisbury interrupted me by
saying that / had made a pretty good
speech, and that he desired to cross-examine
me. II, in that cross-examination, SAILS

you had retracted your statement.

that / wanted my expenses paid, etc. No
such dispatches have been sent to Allison.
As the Committee was appointed on charges
preferred by me, l naturally concluded l
would be wanted sometime during the

A Most Dasfardly amd Cruel Act.
1t was discovered last evening that the
water supply, both to the engine boiler and
tuyeres Of the Metamoras furnace, had
been cut OF, and that the works were in
imminent danger Of being blown TO atom
by a collapse Of the boiler. The great
presence Of mind Of Mr.. Steele, who hap
pened to be on the ground at the time, by
ordering the fires to be drawn, and immc-
diately anticipating the trouble, saved the
lives Of the workmen and prevented o dis
aster which would have shocked the entire
community, and have brought sorrow and
suffering to the homes Of many poor work
ing men employed about the furnace. An
incompetent creature, who had been en-
ployed as night engineer, and had been re-
Gently discharged, was the perpctrator Of
this fiendish act. He had been seen about
the works but q few minutes before the dis
covery Of his hellish plot, which, in disre-
gard for the lives OF other persons, he
wished to carry out, in order to avenge
himself upon . Company who had given
him employment.
