official Directions.

The Postmaster desires us to inform
the public that, for their own conve'
nience, it would be well, in sending
articles through the Postoffice, to heed
the following suggestions: Bandboxes,
containing the latest style of bonnet,
are not improved by being shaken up
in the mail bags. All route agents on
the railroads make it a point of putting
them at the bottom of the sacks, and
piling solid and bulky goods on top.
The consequence is hat they arrive in
a crushed and dIlapidated condition,
and Glib. Scanland is unjustly suspect
ed of settling down On them, which he
assures us is not the case. Therefore
it is better to have them boxed up and
sent by xpress. The same holds
good for gentlemen's silk tiles. Ifyou
must send eggs through the mail, boil
'em-they stand the jar better and
don't besmear the balance of the mail.
Silk dresses and preserves should al
ways be forwarded in separate pack
ages When they intermix, it spoils
the flavor of the sweetmeats, and is 10
improvement to the dresses. Fish

are caught. More than a weeks delay
on the road gives an Unpleasant odor
to the receiving office ana destroys the
tirmness of the fish. Live dogs, of
over four pounds weight-there is no
rule in regard to dead oues-are posi-
lively forbidden to pass through the
mails, by recent order of the Postmas-
ter General. If the Postmaster deliv-
ore oua IF vour privata latfers from
FOUR sister, or mother-in-law, to your
wife. and you suddenly grow bald
headed in consequence, don't come
and fill the office with "cuss" words.
Take time by the forelock and private.
~ instruct the official beforehand. 1t
saves much trouble and tribulation all
around. Last, but not least, hire a
box, pay for it in advance. and don't
tell the clerk that he is a f~alsitier every
time you inquire for a letter and fail
to get one. An observance of the
above rules will be of benefit to all
concerned.

The bullion shipments from Eureka
have been considerably curtailed by
the action of the Richmond
Company, who for some time past
have not sent any of their product
away. All Of the crude bullion going
forward at the present time is sent from
the Eureka Consolidated furnaces.
Their works are turning out in the
neighborhood of SO tons a day, which,
with what has accumulated by reason
OF want Of trans portation facilities. il
being sent forward rs rapidly as posi-
bic. The Richmond Company have
over 900 o Of lead and crude bull.
ion stacked up in their yard, where it
has been piled, by Manager Probert's
orders, until further developments in
the metal market. The refinery is
worked 10 lis full capacity, but is IN
able to keep up with The immense
quantities Of bullion daily flowing from
the smelling furnaces. AT present
prices refined lead can only lie shipped
at a loss, aud there is no object in send
ing it to market. The Eureka Coin-
pany are situated somewhat differently,
as all their refining is done in the East.
and the crude bullion is sent direct
from the works. Formerly the lead
brought a price equal to the freight
charges, but At the present low rates
there is a loss; hence, the fine silver,
when it reaches the San Francisco
office. Or rather, when it is sold in New
York, md returns in gold made to the
company, shows a discrepancy between

ably rid OF our lead output. The mar.
ket is very fiat, and although quoted
at Al cents per pound, there are really
no important sales at that figure. The
immense yield from the lead mines in
Wisconsin and other States, and the
added product of the Utah and Nevada
galena ores, has shut the imported ar
ticle out of the marke but there is an
over production at home, far beyond
the demand, and the future is not very
promising. unless some new channel
is found for its ption, which is
a rather unlikely event just now. We
OF the Base Range are Independent, a.
the lead production is merely incid-n
tai, and does not figure very largely in
estimating the yield OF rich ores; hui
in Utah. the smelling companies feel
the depression seriously, and il re-
duces their profits to a very slight
margin. AT present prices, the value
OF the lead DAILY run II of the Eureka
smelling works will aggregate in the
neixhborhooi of $500; but as its
worth is eaten up by freight by the
time il reaches the market, it is only
reckoned as a help to pay the cost OF
transportation.

MISS X. Mel AUGlILIN, Teache
Opera.

Last nights performance of the
troupe, at Bigelow's Hall, was decid.
eddy the most entertaining of the sea
son, and was greatly appreciated by
the audience. Madame De Murska
volunteered to sing the role of Martha,
in Flowtow's charming opera of that
name, and in consequence the assem-
hla2e enjoyed an unexpected and well
come treat. 1t is a bright, sparkling
piece. fan of vocal gems, and we have
no need to say that they were well
rendered. A duet, by Madame De
Murska and Pierre Bernard, and the
third act of Mariana, concluded the
performance. The troupe left this
morning for Salt Lake and the Fast.
We hope hat their welcome. both
financially and otherwise, in Eureka,
is but the beginning OF a more success
FIJI experience than what has hitherto
been vouchssfed to them in their jour-
neylngs on this coast.

wauted-A SNOW storm.

Are we to have any Winter storms?
Not only does the average boy, with
memories of last years sport On the
hi!lsides. and anxious aspirations to
try his new sled, ask this question, but
all classes, from the youth to the older
heads, repeat the same query. The
grass is literally short in the mount
aims and in the valleys, and unless it Is
soon answered in the affirmative BY
the Power that rules the tempest and
controls the weather, the grass will be
very short with the owners OF the nu-
merous bands of stock hat Craze in
this section of the country. All of the
small running streams east and south
OF us have dried up, and the vegeta'
ton in the vicinity of the springs has
been eaten of To such an extent that
cattle have to do considerable travel
ing between their grazing grounds and
water. A sewers NOW storm at the
present time would email considerable
immediate loss and thin out the herds
but 1t would renew the feed. aud is a
necessity, to avert an entire failure ol
the grass crop for the coming year.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-01-13
Slatisaical.

A friend of ours, OF a statistical urn
of mind, showed us yesterday a com
putation he had made in regard to the
amount Of liquor sold and drank daily
in Eureka. His estimates are con
fined to the saloons, and does not take
into account the bottle trade done At
the stores, which would probably
double the results arrived at. He
starts of with the proposition tbatthere
are 90 saloons doing business within
the tom limits. These. he calculates,
WI average daily receipts OF S25 each.
a figure probably below the mark,
which would make the total amount
discussed $1,000, or 5000 drinks, n
pretty healthy showing. Our friend
i a little nfi, however, as a portion OF
that uin represents cigars. and prob
ably one fourth of the sales are at two
bit houses which, while not altering
the coin figure, would reduce thenum-
Der OF drinks to a lower point. 1t j.
PROF able that tie total sales, both in
the stores and saloons, will reach 81
900 per day, or il the traffic continues
at the same rate, $780, 900 a year. OF
this amoun the wholesale liquor deal
ers of San Francisco receive at least
half a million dollars, and nntwith-
standing this enormous revenue, they
grumble at contributing a sum in the
ueighborhood of 81. 900 a year for drum
mers' licenses. In the light of the
above statements, we submit that they
have very lutte cause Tor complaint.
