Ore Ina the Caves.

In one of the caves recently found
at the Richmond mine rich ore was
discovered encrusting the roof to a
considerable thickness, a fact that has
never before occurred in any of the
numerous cavities in the limestone
opened on the hill. Ore is always
found on the floor, and sometimes on
the sides. but never, until the abo We,
in the upper part. Many of our best
miners are of the opinion that all of
the ore bodies found in the lode were
at one time v in the vein matter,
afterwards filled by Natures wonder
full processes, and that the work of
deposition, by percolation and infiiter-
alton, is still going IN. Some color is
given to the theory by the invariable
presence of rich ore in the openings of
the vein formation.

Valuable Developments.

There have been rich and valuable
discoveries made during the last week
in the deep workings of the Eureka
Consolidated mine, ore having been
met with of a higher grade than aver
before found in the mine. Some of it
ia fabulous in value, and at the same
time it promises to be an extensive de-
post, and one that will add largely to
the of this magnificent prop
erty. There is one popularity of the
ore discovered that upsets a good
many theories. 1t has been under
stood, and admitted on all sides, that
no chloride ore is ever found below
the water level, but as this is the char
acter of this last discovery, that theory
will have to be abandoned as untena.
BILE. However, the speculations and
surmises of the scientists matters but
little as long as we are assured of the
existence Of rich and extensive depos-
its. 1t being found at a depth OF over
l 200 feet, is an assurance of the perma-
hence and inexhaustibility of the vein,
and insures the future prosperity of
the mining interests in Eureka District.

CHERRY CREEK Irrms.

We Gull the following from the
Cherry Creek Independent.
Sam. Jones, brother Of Senator
Jones, has been examining various
mining properties in this vicinity, and
proposes to stay with US for some days
to come.
Geo. Wilson, for some time one Of
Cherry Creeks inhabitants, has fitted
to other chimes, and proposes to try
his fortunes In Eureka.
AS William Crock, an employe at
Jack Williams saw-mill, was peram-
bulating on the hills where the snow
was Of considerable depth, he accident
ally walked into an open shaft and fell
to the bottom, a distance of 20 feet.
However, he was fortunate enough to
receive no injuries, and, after fasting
for "a hours, he vas rescued by some
of his friends.
The Mary Ann mining claim has
been leased to four men who are to

they find ore in paying quantities and
quality, they are to have five dollars .

A dispatch from Denver, Colorado,
dated February IL, says: The Di
Mnrska Richings : Bernard Opera
Troupe disbanded here o.day. after an
improbable season of two weeks. Di
Murska and the musical director, Hill,
her present husband, remain Temporal
rily in Colorado, and they will give a
few concerts throughout the State in
the principal towns. The Richings.
Bernard party will also remain tempo
rarily, being "dead broke" deeply in
debt, and their baggage being attached
for claim from Salt Lake. Pierre
Bernard owes 81 600 in Denver alone,
and much more to his singers, orches-
ira, etc. The troupe have lost money
every where. 1t was tioated back from
Nevada by Di Murska, who sang with
them on a percentage. and who has no
interest in their debts. She got 40 per
cent. of the proceeds in Denver, and
40 per cent. went for the theater. while
Bernard only got 20 per cent. for his
entire troupe.

The Paris Exposition.

BY the following, it will be seen that
John w. Mackay will bear the cost of
the Pacific Coast representation at the
Paris Exposition: "The Committee
having in charge the collection of a
cabinet Of the Pacific Coast minerals
for exhibition in. the Paris Exposition
had almost come to the conclusion to
abandon the work, owing to the failure
OF the California Legislature to make
an appropriation covering the expense.
On Tuesday last, however, the COM
mittee received a dispatch from John
w. Mackay, of Virginia City, telling
them to go ahead; that he would bear
the expense of the representation.
Through MI. Mackay's generosity, the
Pacific Coast will be creditably repre-
scented in the mineral department of
the Worlds Fair at Paris"

The CommissiOnershIp

Through the courtesy Of Mr.. Baker,
we are enabled to lay the following
telegram before our readers. Mr..
Walker is a leading business man OF
Mineral Hill and a first class citizen.
In view of the fact that the northern
portion of the county has no repre-
seutation on the Board, 1t would seem
to be the fair thing to appoint Mr..
Walker, more particularly as a better
selection could not be made from any
part of the county. He is a No. /,
square man. possessing first class ideas
regarding all matters OF public con
Germ. We sincerely hope that Senator
Baker may bestow upon Mr.. Walker
the consideration due so worthy an
applicant:

Our e supply.

There are not many advocates of a
strictly vegetarian diet in these parts.
An average of $50 head of cattle, $50
calves, 200 sheep and 60 hogs are
slaughtered monthly to supply the
towns Of Eureka and Ruby Hill. A
prominent butcher informs us that the
estimate is correct, and is about the
amount used the year through. The
choice cuts are retailed at the various
markets at from Is to 25 cents per
pound. The beef cattle and hogs are
mostly raised in the county, and drove
in from the ranges as required, and
the supply of sheep is drawn from the
bands at Duckwater and vicinity.

COASTING.

The coasting on O'Neil avenue since
the storm has been excellent, especially
after nightfall, when Jack Frost asserts
his sway and hardens the snowy
covering with his chilly breath. The
youngsters, who have waited patiently
for an opportunity to enjoy the sport,
have been out in full force, and Have
merrily pursued the amusement with
a glee and vigor born Of their youth
and unlimited capacity of enjoyment.
The older ones have looked on with
envy, and have at times joined the
little ones in an occasional slide down
the hill. A party of young men and
damsels lied themselves To the hill
Thursday evening, and, singly and in
couples, went dying down the slope
on the little sleds of their younger
brothers, and as often toiled their way
back TO the apex, the journey being
made less weary by the pleasure and
opportunity afforded to chatter those
soft nothings that form the staple OF
conversation on such propitious occa-
sions. Becoming ambitious, a propos-
al was made by one of the party. which
was heartily Endorsed by the rest, and
a delivery sleigh was procured, capa-
BILE of accommodating a dozen. After
much Juggling and pulling, it was
hauled to the top of the hill, and the
party tumbled in, the task OF steering
being intrusted to a young fellow who
proclaimed his ability in that line. He
done we'll for a short distance, but the
lightning speed acquired by b sleigh
soon demoralized him, and it iorsook
the track and darted up against Judge
Baily's back fence, the sudden stop
page upsetting 1t and sending the oc-
cup~antShelter SHELTER in a promiscuous
and picturesque pile. The CLEAN of
white under wear, dainty boots, ele-
CANT hosiery and other mysterious
raiment was described by a bystander
as being most fascinating, He did not
~particularize as to the charm, and we
were toe modest to inquire. The vic
tins of the accident failed TO see where
it came in, and they gathered them
selves up from their involuntary rest
ing place, and with many anathemas
on the head of the cause OF the accident,
betook themselves homeward, where
they could privately repair damages.
The incident did not deter The balance
Of the merry crowd from keeping up
the sport. and it was midnight before
the coasring ground was deserted.

THE NATIONAL GUARD BALL.

There was a brilliant gathering at
Bigelow's Hall last evening, on the
occasion of the National Guard ball,
and a merry throng of dancers partici-
pated in the festivities. The commit.
tees in charge of the arrangements had
perfected all the details looking to the
comfort and enjoyment of their guests,
and their efforts were pronounced a
complete success, the pleasure of those
attending being largely dueto their ex-
e%riions. The hall vas tastefully decora-
ted and draped with flagsand pictures,
prominent among the latter being a
portrait of Washington, the anniver-
sary of whose birthday was being Gel
ebrated by the gallant soldiery. The
music, under the direction of Frank
Relgelhuth, was, of course, the acme
OF artistic perfection, and the melodious
strains evolved from the instruments
of the band excited the swaying crowd
to terpsichorean feats impossible with
out that seductive accompaniment.
After the grand march, and by the
time that the members OF the Guard
and their fair companions bad arrived,
the scene was a brilliant and fascinating
one. The handsome uniform of the
companies set off their manly forms to
advantage, and made them the favor
ties of the bellies. The sex has a weak.
ness for brass buttons, and was not slow
to show its preference. The Centen.
malls, Of Ruby Hill, who attended in a
body, were the observed of all
observers, and the taste and
style displayed in the neat
and elegant uniforms, that they have
just received from Philadelphia, and
which were wore for the first time on
the occasion in question, and their SOL
dierly bearing was the subject of much
favorable comment. The ladies' pres.
ent displayed their usual style and
grace in their toilets, and some of the
costumes worn were marvels of artistic
beauty. Their conquests were numer-
Gus, and the gay cavaliers were devoted
in their attentions. There was no cessa-
ton to the enjoyment, and dance fol-
lowed dance, with a rapidity that kept
the ball and the assemblage in pleas.
ureable motion during the entire night,
save a short adjournment for supper.
The advocates of the "Dance of Death"
theory were conspicuous by their alb
sence, and the devotees of the seduct-
i've waltz and exhilerating round dance
held full sway. The party did not
break up until at IN early hour this
morning, and the first faint flush of
daylight was observable at the conclu-
sion OF the entertainment. The Nation
ais have good reason to be proud of the
success OF the party. and a repetition of
the anniversary will be looked forward
to by all who Joined in last evenings
pleasures.

NOT AN APPLICANT.

It has been generally understood
that Mr.. A. w. Campbell was a candi.
date for the vacant Commissionership.
This is a mistake. In an interview
with MI. Campbell yesterday, he in
formed us that he was not an applicant
for the position, and would not accept
it if rendered him. He further in-
formed us that Senator Baker shared
in the general impression of the COM.
munity regarding his candidacy. Sena-
tor Baker sent for Mr.. Campbell the
other day, and told him that Governor
Bradley was placed in an EN- barrassing
position regarding the vacant Commits
sionership in this county, and that he
was especially anxious that the several
aspirants should agree upon a suitable
person for the place, thus leaving a
clear field for the person agreed upon.
Mr.. Baker also displayed deep interest
in the subject, and manifested q zeal
Gus desire to SO harmonic matters as
to relieve the Governor. AS MI.
Baker asserts that he never spoke to
the Governor touching the question,
the community must be left to conjec-
ture as to how he came to understand
the embarrassing predicament of his
Excellency In the premises. Perhaps
it was his Private Secretary Garrard
who requested him to fix things. But
MIR. Campbell, not being a candidate,
had nothing TO fix, and so the inter-
view between himself and the Senator
terminated, III worthy Alderman, as
he skipped out, Illuminating OF the
