New YORK, Jan. 81, 1871.
FRIEND PARKER: I have concluded
arrangements to-day which will help till /
can sell more bonds, which ! am doing as
faat as tho market will take them without
depressing the bonds. I cannot have
bonds go lower, a. it will use up all the
collateral. hemoney market 10 grow
ing easy, which is very favorable for me.
Manage to make thirty Tor sixty day if
you can) day drafts on me for awhile
through your banks. This will help
very much. We have only to manage
carefully for little while, and I think
that all will come right. 1t has been o
very hard tirie for me. Have had to
fight the whole market, as- they seem to
anou Things ABOUT our affairs which
should not be known. It hurts us very
much. The bonds came near going to
90 cents, and couiG easily be put 10 40.
Our railroad matters will come out all
right. We have only to get independent
here, and the matter can be pushed. We
have parties now in Europe who are
working for us. Have heard on wire TO-
day In regard to tho State bonds. We
mus. have courage, and hold on with
bulldog" grip. Trl,ly yas-

As q preventative against foods has been
the theme OF much discussion in Eureka,
we have endeavored to get posted on the
various remedies. We have canvassed the
ditch-digging business, but on all sides we
are told it is too expensive. We cannot
follow the subjoined suggestions and ex-
pect to realize much Of an effect next
season.. but still they may be good: From
some observations by NJ. Fautrat relative
to the comparative influence of leafy woods
and resinous woods on rain, and the hygro-
metric state of the air. it appears that Pine
forests have . much greater influence on
the hygrometric state than others; SO that
II the vapors dissolved in the air were APP
parent hk fogs, we should see forests
shrouded in . large screen of moisture,
and In the case of r~csinous woods the en-
vslope would be more pronounced than in
that OF leafy woods. NJ. Fautrat also
shows that pines retain in their branches
more than half Of the water which is
poured upon them; whereas leafy trees al
low So per certura Of the precipitated water
to reach the surface Of the ground. He
suggests, therefore, that in planting with
. view to oppose foundations, it would be
advisable to choose by preference resinous
trees, as offering a better covert.

Events Of the Past Week.
We collatc from the Courier Of Satur-
day the following:
Wells, Fargo & Co. have decided to
establish q branch Office in jefferson.
The Smoky Valley ranchers now find a
good market in Belmont for their farm
produce.
Professor U. Gates new reservoir in
E ,st Belmont is almost completed.
The Jefferson letter of October 25th
says: Shipped You to-day 2 bars Of bullion
valued at 81 ,s7S &c.
The Typo Consolidated letter OF October
21st says: Shipped You to-day bullion
valued at $7,781 90; total this month to
date, $33,949 16.
The Highbridgc letter OF October 31st
says: During the past week nearly all the
lumber and machinery for repairing the
mill arrived, and work is now being pushed
vigorously ahead with a certainty Of having
the mill completed at an early day. The
mine is yielding more and better ore than
at any time since we commenced work.
The shaft for the past nine feet is in the
ledge, with no sign yet Of being through
it. At this point the ledge is very strong
and carries some ore. Shall continue
sinking shaft, before opening a station,
until we attain a depth to cut the ore body
we now have 40 feet south, and pitching
toward the shaft.
The Belmont letter of October 30th
says: We to-day shipped to you, by Wells,
Fargo K Co.'s express, ten bars Of bullion,
which amounts to ST. 5 %. For the first
four days Of this run we could only use
fifteen stamps, as five were in use to try a
concentration. We are of the opinion that
the concentrator will do good work on our
sulphuret ores. Yesterday, 1so feet north
Of the shaft on the 200-foot level, We came
into some good milling ore three feet wide.
The quality Of ore appears to be very good.
On the 200-foot level, 200 feet south Of the
shaft, we are taking ont good chloride ore.
Some OF tho best Of it assaycd yesterday
s3l4. On the 300-foot lcvsl, $50 feet north
OF the shaft, the Pennsylvania body OF ore
is looking some better. The body Of Ore
500 feet north Of tho shaft on the 3o0-foot
level In the crosscnt is looking very well.
and the quality Of ore will average to mill
sl25. The mill is running well and does
good work.

Events OF the F09t week.
The following items Of interest are taken
from last Saturdays Independent:
Look out for Chinese wood thieves.
We have now in this district $50 more
voters than at the last election, two years
ago, but about 200 less than at the election
OF 1874.
The number Of registered voters in Ham,
ilton precinct is ITO; in Treasure City. 40;
in Eberhardt, AZ; in Ward, 348; in Osceola,
100; in Cherry Greek, 228.
We are informed that the claim OF VIM.
Osborn for certain lands, including the
town site Of Schelburn has been sustained
by the Secretary OF the Treasury.
The taxable property of the county foots
taxes to be collected this year is $40, 900,
some 5000 less than was realized last
year.
The owners Of the Flagstaff mine are
doing their assessment work for 1878.
This mine, owned by Mcssrs. Greenwood,
Jones Il Co.. is one Of the richest in this
district, and has before it q glorious future.
Mr.. James, q mining expert, and q
former Superintendent at Phoebe, came
here last week to examine the Exchequer,
in behalf of California capitalists. II all
things are satisfactory the mine will be
started up.
Mr.. Burbank, Republican candi late for
County Surveyor, who was here the fore
part OF the present week, from Osceola,
reports great faith in the future of that
camp, and that it is destined to be the
largest mining district in Eastern Nevada.
1--WE would like to except Cherry Creek.)
The miners in placer diggings Of that place
have been making about three dollars per
day.
The Star Company's mill shut down last
Tuesday for the purpose Of making some
few repairs to the boilers. a job of four or
five days. Pending this stoppage, Mr..
Coffman, the Manager and Superin tend
ent, las been putting in two pump sta
tons at the miDe-on IN at the 300-foot level
and the other one ct the bottom OF the
shaft. The water will be pumped from
one station to another. To do this the
company have now on the way from San
Francisco two large cylinder pumps. This
new arrangement will do away with the
tank process used heretofore in lifting
water from the mine, and will give them
the use Of one more compartment in the
shaft. The working and development OF
the mine can then be pushed ahead with
much more convenience and greater rapid
itv than ever heretofore.
Fred. Gotcber came in a couple of days
ago from his gold mine on the mountains
back of Hunter, where he has been work
ing since last spring. but is now driven
away by the snow. He brings with him
some very beautiful, as well as rich speci-
mems of gold rock. some of whichhe thinks
will assay as much as $40, 900 to tbs ton.
From his work, SO far, he has selected and
sacked from Is to 90 tons which he con-
siders very valuable. His ledge is about
Is inches in thickness. has been opened on
the surface for a hundred feet, and can be
traced for d distance Of about 1900 feet.
He expects to put some stamps to work in
the spring. We are heartily glad to note
Frederick's good fortune.

everything about the works running nicely
The shaft is timbered from top to bottom
and there are thousands Of tons of ore ex

d. A. JENNINGS, Secretary-Dear Sir
Mining operations for the past week have
progressed as usual. Slopes above the
250-foot level show but little change. In
the northeast drift we discovered o small
cave, the bottom Of which Is filed with
ore Of extra good quality.
The winze below the 450-foot level shows
. decided improvement. The vein of ore
has widsned, and continues Of frst-class
quality.
On the e00-foot level the main south
drift advanced &c feet, making a total Of
SIS feet: face in favorable vein matter.
We have yet 80 feet 70 run before being

Immense excitement here. All who

All the better portion Of our people will

tried TO make an individual fight, got
caught, and will lose most il not all the
Legislative ticket. The reaction against
the corporations and Jones is astonishing,
and Storey county expects to come out OF
