The Alta-Justice War,

The Alta-Justice war was brought
to close Thursday by power stronger
than either, or both combined, and
it is not probable that we shall again
hear of armed men being employed
underground by any of the mining
companies. The occupation of the
hired fighter is gone, and the courts
will hereafter settle all disputes in
regard to boundaries on the surface
and lodes in the depths below.
A meeting of the Miners Union
was held in Cold Hill Thursday
morning, and, after the appointment
OF a committee, the miners marched
600 or 800 strong to the Alta mine.
The Committee went below and
brought up all the armed men. After
conference with Mr.. Derby, the
column marched to the Justice, where
they learned that the fighting men
had already come to the surface and
scampered away.
Captain Curtis and Mr.. Derby both
agreed to the proposal OF the com
mittee that three men for each mine
should be detailed from the Union to
keep constant guard at the shafts to
see that no armed men are put into
either mine. All danger of an armed
collision underground is thus averted.
Public sentiment among all law
abiding people here is unanimous in
sustaining the action of the Miners
Union.

QUITE an excitement prevailed in
town Thursday for an hour or two.
G. c. Huff and II. NJ. Mcdonald, two
If the Justice fighters, came down
from the mine about noon, armed
with breech loading shotguns and
bringing an order for livery them.
They intimated to persons who talked
with them that there had been a
racket at the mine and they were
getting out of the country. The re-
port spread abou, town and was be-
lieved by great many, but the first
news from the mine made known the
fact that the fighters were fleeing
from the wrath of the miners.

JUsTIcE.-Opening the new station
at the 1900 level is proceeding in the
most vigorous manner. North cross
cut No. 2, on 1850 level, was advanced
until the trouble with the Alta few
days since, the face in good ore. The
south prospecting drifts on the 1850
arc also looking more favorable for
finding body of pay ore. The ore
slopes on this level are looking finely.
The Pacific mill started up Thursday
morning, with about 500 tons Of ore
at the mill The dumps at the mine
are all full. and the mill will be kept
running unInterruptedly. In two or
three weeks more mills will be start
ed up.

will thus be avoided.

A New Bonanza.

A new bonanza is Icing opened up
i'll the Con. Virginia, ON the 1850
level, far to the east, and where it
could hardly have been expected that
"A large body of ore, or a body of ore
of any kind, would be found. Su-
perintendent Fair had long felt that
there might be something in that di-
rection, and he finally determined to
run drift into the suspected region.
AS the drift was advanced the rock
through which it was passing became
more and more unpromising, and the
last 70 feet run was in about as for
bldding-looking stuff as ever was
seen, and it seemed hardly worth
while to go further. But when about
to give up the chase small vein of
ore was found. This vein was fol-
lowed and has now attained width
of as feet and is or the finest quality.
1t is turning out to be little bonan-
"a in itself. Its walls are splendidly
defined. All who who have seen this
bonanza within bonanza speak of it
very highly.

Desert Land Rulings.

The Commissioner of the Land
Office in Washington has written to
the Receiver of the Eureka Land
Office that the Act Of Congress APP
proved March 3, 1877, providing for
the sale uf desert lands in certain
States and Territories, is held by this
office to apply to public land in the
States and Territories mentioned,
which, within the description of the
law, are '.dcsert lands whether such
lands be within or outside the limits
of grant to railroad company.
Of Course, however, it does not APP.
ply to lands which have been granted
to railroad or other corporation !;
nor to lands reserved for the satisfac-
ton of such grants, or for any other
purpose. This covers Oregon, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah, Washington,
Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Wy
oming and Dakota. A man may now
claim homestead Of 80 acres within
railroad grants and pre-empt 100
acres at SO so per acre. or take GAO
acres of desert land at 81 % per acre.
SILVER HILL.-Sinking the main
incline is making the usual fair rate
of progress, the rock in the bottom
blasting out much better. The flow
of water has nearly all been caught up
10 the shaft, so that there is now but
little trouble experienced in handling
it. The east drift on the 800 level is
steadily advancing in very favorable
ground toward the main ledge. The
several crosscuts on the 600 level are
each being pushed energetically
ahead, with excellent prospects of
finding a paying mine at no distant
day.
THE Sutro Tunnel Company IS
erecting a large ice house at the
mouth of the tunnel. 1t will be of
sufficient capacity to supply the
whole town, as well as the tunnel
workings. The work of cutting and
storing the ice is giving employment
to quite a number of extra men.

THE immunity of the miners of
Eureka district, during the past year,
from serious or fatal accidents is
something remarkable. There have
been over LOO men employed in the
mines a greater portion of the year,
and but one of that number has suf-
fered from a serious injury. He had
his leg broken, but is now well, and
able to work as usual. A few minor
scalp wounds and bruises, caused by
falling timbers, is all we have been
called upon to record in 1877. We
doubt there being another camp on
the coast that can show like ex-
emption. We hope the same state
of facts will obtain for the present
year. Sentinel.
COPPER MINING The Ludwig &
Garter copper mine in the Walker

ably worked. Mr.. Ludwig informs
US that they have large amount Of
ore opened up, and much of it runs
30 per cent, making it worth 500
per ton. They supply the Lyon Mill
and Mining Company with all the
ore needed for making bluestone, the
product of the mine being regulated
by this demand, as they have no other
contracts at present.
