Deep Mining.

Again we call the attention of mine
managers to the Importance of deep
mining. We have not the least doubt
of the existence of good paying
bodies of ore in DEVILS Gate District
at or near the same depth at which
the bonanzas of Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia we're found, and we believe the
main effort OF the companies should
be directed toward attaining depth
Of shafts, instead of wasting money
in explorations within few hundred
feet of the surface. There are
of number mines in the district which
have good prospects for the depth at
tanned, and If developed in the man
ner indicated will doubtless in time
pay dividends.
A few mines in the district are get
ting we'll down. The Silver Hill is
now being prospected on the 900
level, with very favorable indications
and it is altogether probable that a
good body of ore will be encountered
on this level. The low grade ore
on the levels above warrants the be-
lief that pay ore will be obtained on
the 900. The Succor mine has also
attained considerable depth, aad has
excellent indications of finding
paying body of ore at no distant day.
Drifts on the 1850 level are running
in fine vein of quartz, which gives
assays sometimes as high as $50 per
ton. There can be no doubt that the
Succor will find paying ore; if not
on the 1850, it will be not more than
one or two levels deeper.
The Amazon and Glasgow has
fine ledge, but prospecting operations
have not yet found pay ore. A drift
on the 500 level is being run to cut
the ledge, and rapid progress will be
made, BurleIgh drill having been
put in the DRIFT few days ago. Some
very fine ore was found on the levels
above and it is believed paying
body will be found on the 500. But if
this should not prove to be the case,
no doubt it will be found when the
shaft is sunk two or three hundred
feet deeper, and we believe tine com
pany will find it the best policy to
prospect but little until depth of
800 to 1000 feet is attained.

This is the most extensive show that
has ever visited the Pacific Coast, and
embraces, besides the usual circus
attractions, which are all of unusual
excellence, the marvellous trained ele-
plants, the spectacle of whose evolu-
tons are alone worth a visit. The
menagerie is an extensive one, very
well selected, and embraces many
very rare and curious animals. There
will be two performances daily, at 1

THE Eco WAR.-An egg war is
raging in Silver City, and everybody
can afford to eat eggs two or three
times day. How long hostilities
will be continued, and how low the
price may 90, remains to be seen.
The contest is between Ripley e. Haas
and G. F. Blackmer, and when the
sun of Thursday went down on the
fierce combat, the former had out a
sign, ~ dozen eggs for g." and the
latter had raised them quarter Of a
dozen. After nightfall some person
changed the figures on the signs so
as to read for Ripley & Haas "46
dozen for ST." and for Blackmer al
dozen for g." There was no change
in the eggsisting situation yesterday.

A Drama from Life.

Dramatis Person@-Two school
marms and their escort and an affable
and obliging stranger.
SCENE 1. In front of the Arlington
House, Carson, at 1 AS yesterday
neutrality-suspicious. and their es-
cort return from the reception given
by the Au Fait Club; doors of hotel
locked; Ormsby House full; rap and
rattle the doors half an hour, and
are about to give it up in despair
when a. and o. stranger appears on
the scene just in time to prevent the
escort from shocking the moral sem
sibilities of the schoolmarms by Civ
ing vent to his feelings in one of his
patent reversible, double back action,
copper-lined swears; a. and o. stranger
offers to conduct the party to an en-
trance; his offer being accepted, he
leads them through two or three
back alleys, out among the clothes
lines, and up couple of flights of
rickety steps at the rear of the house,
and thence to the main hall, after
which he departs, carrying the ever
lasting gratitude of the party. Cur
tain goes down on escort cussing at
the stupidity of the landlord who
will lock up his house when num-
Der of his lady guests are attending
a ball.
SCENE 2. At the livery stable few
minutes later-Escort, who had to be
at his post of duty at o'clock A. NJ
after his horse; rings bell for fifteen
minutes; night stableman gone out :;
more cussing; starts for the Ormsby
House to get drunk; there finds the
stableman asleep by the stove; fear
full cussing; escort leaves Carson de-
claring it, in some respects, to be the
worst town he ever struck. Curtain
drops amid blue blaze of profanity.

The Church Festival.

We hope our citizens will not forget
the meeting to be held this evening
in Grace Church by the ladies and
gentlemen having charge of the
various arrangements for getting up
the Church Festival. 1t will probably
be the last meeting before the festival,
and we hope that large crowd will
turn out, so as to encourage the ladies
who are working so hard and for such
a worthy cause.

MAY DAY.-Next Wednesday will
be May Day. We have heard of no
intention on the part of the people
of Silver City to observe the day.
The people of Dayton, as usual, will
celebrate the occasion in an appro-
pirate manner, and masquerade ball
is talked of for the evening. All who
attend will doubtless have jolly
good time.

PIoNEER.-Messrs. Langridge and
Cromer are still following the ledge
in the Pioneer tunnel. 1t has widened
out TO about six feet, and they assure
us that the lowest assay they have
had was 800 per ton, while others
run all the way up into the hundreds.
A horn of loose dirt taken from any
part of the dump gives splendid
prospect in free gold. They are sure
they have good thing, and we hope
they are right.

SILVER HILL.-The main north
drift on the 800 level is being pushed
steadily ahead, the face in very favor
able vein matter. The main east drift
on this level is steadily advancing,
the face also in quartz and favorable
vein matter. Two crosscuts have been
started from the main south drift on
this level, one east and the other west,
the face of the east drift being in
very encouraging ledge material. The
east drift on the 900 level is being
pushed steadily forward, the face
still in clay and porphyry. Sinking
the main incline below the 900 level
is making steady progress.

SUcCOR.-The northwest drift on
1850 level is still advancing, the face
in quartz and vein matter of very
encouraging character. This drift is
running nearly parallel with the
course of the main ore vein; after it is
in a sufficient distance to allow it, a
crosscut will be run through the
ledge. Everything in and about the
mine is running smoothly.

BOdie News Items.

IRON tne STANDARD OF Wednesday.l
As the season advances the mines
in and around Bodie are being ope-
rated with as much vim and perse-
verance as possible, and every availa-
BILE particle of room underground
where miner can be at all worked
to advantage is kept fully occupied.
Still with all this amount of work
being done there are many idle men
here, and as more are daily coming
from all parts of the coast there is no
doubt many of them will be sorely
disappointed, and will either have to
get out in the hills and prospect for
themselves or seek other districts
where days wages are more easily
obtained. Everything taken into con-
sideraiion Bodie district is looking
as well as its most sanguine friends
could wish, and if its future contains
no drawbacks other than now appear
on its horizon the good time coming
is not far distant. The Standard
Company shipped on the 18th instant
one bar of bullion valued at $1S,5O7.
The Bechtel Company have 500 tons
of first.class ore on the dump, and as
soon as the repairs on the Syndicate
mill are finished it will start up on
this company's ore.
The Real del Monte shaft, at Au-
rora, is down 305 feet, with quartz,
clay and porphyry in the bottom. At
this point they are excavating for a
station.
The Black Hawk mine yesterday
shipped its first load of ore to theMono
mill. The mill will commence crush
ing on the LIST proximo.
The Tiger and the Kicker mining
companies have lately been incorpo-
rated in San Francisco, to mine in
Bodie district.
The Land Office will be opened
here about the 10th of April.
DR. MORRIS PRITcHARD has filed
his bond as President of the Virginia
Board of Health and ex-officio Milk
Inspector.
Now IS the time to plant spring
advertisements, and there is no danger
of putting too many in hill.
