Yellow Fever Concert,

Yellow Fever Concert.
The yellow sufferers of Austin had a
hard time last Friday night. The cause
of it was that we had concert in town
which, gotten up in hurry, bore signs
Of the haste and lack of practice. Many
of the singers did themselves great injus-
tice by singing at all. 1t brought out one
fact however-that we need not step out
side of Austin for our music, that our
home talent is little better than the
average. And while we candidly think
that the concert, might have been
bettered, yet there were some features
in it, few of which as they seemed to ~
we will mention. The organ du0-the
organs weren't concert organs anyway
and haven't any power-was the best
number on the programme we think.

with the melody, the audience was

plause. Appreciation, the truest and
highest, is more often expressed by ST.
lence than by racket.

only herself can give it. twas received
with applause which brought nothing
but leaves"-she bows and leaoes the
stage.
Mr.. b. L. Curtis gave US an excellent
piece which deserved the encore it re.
ceived. He particularly pleases by
speaking every word distinctly, and en-
abling every one to understand just what
he said. This is the chief fault of the ladies
One cannot understand what they say
Some of them when "up HIGH" could
not be understood, their consonants were
left out and the vowels al. run together
Now ladies, the next time you sing in
public have your accompaniment trans
posed till the air is low enough for yot
to sing to and to speak plainly. You dc
yourselves injustice by attempting t.
sing too high. Your voices are very
bird.like and fute.like and all that, bu1
we can't tell what you say any more thar

Mr.. Winter Andrews, who sang in q
duo, has very promising Voice, and CAV

There were other very beautiful song
and parts of songs-for often singer
sings parts Of the same song with differ
ent voices, voices different in timbre and
different in sweetness-but it would re-
quire more musical cultivation that We
possess to speak of them correctly. We
have only aimed to speak of general
faults and approve those who are deserv-
ing in the judgment of oil.
The programme was one.third too long,
but proved, what we said before, that we
need not 20 outside Of Austin for material
for good concert. : +. g..

W. W. TRAyLoR, San Francisco-Dear
Sir: Mining operations have continued
through the week with good progress in
extending and prospecting drifts and
raises, there having been 1856 feet OF drifts
and raises completed since my last report.
There are no particular changes to note
In the several levels. Where prosp citing
work is being advanced, the ground passed
through Is about Of the same nature as
| mentioned in previous reports. The ore
bodies in the several levels are all looking
first rate, and continue their usual yield
without any apparent diminntion OF the
resources. The furnaces keep up their
regular production Of bullion without
much variation in the value Of the daily
product. The following amount Of work
has been done In the several levels, to wit /:
Fifth level South drift continued 81
feet, and is now in 400 feet. Started cross
cut from main west drift, and advanced
the same % feet.
Seventh level-East drift from ore cham
Der continued Is feet, and is now in 10
feet.
Eighth level--Startcd raise from drift
and made 10 feet.

The following 10 the official letter Of tho
Hamburg Mining Company for the week
ending November 30th:
d. A. JENNINGS, Secretary-Dear Sir:
The furnace was closed down on the 9Th
inst. after a very successful run, during
which we shipped 207 tons Of bullion. pro-
duced from 1,240 tons Of Hamburg ore,
and 1903 tons Of purchased ores-an average
of about Gu tons Of ore to a ton OF bullion.
The mine continues to look well. The
daily yield Of ore was from Is to 30 tons.
II the weather continues as good as it is at
present, we may be able to accumulate a
sufficient quantity Of ore, to enable us TO
make another run before winter closes the
roads, though we may expect heavy storms
at any time after this date.
At 40 feet below the 250-foot level, VIC are
extending north and south drifts, to open
up the ore bodies extending down from the
| old works above the 250-foot level.
Upraise above the 450-foot level is now
rs feet above that level ; the top in vein
matter, with punches Of good ore through
it.
On the 600-foot level, the southwest
crosscut is in iron and low-gradc ore. Au
| upraise from this crosscut, to connec with
the winze from the 450-foot level, has been
started will nave So feet to run TO connect
the two works.

TEN PAHuTE, December z, 1878.
Since my last letter all the idle men In
camp have been put to work by the Wy
andotte 8. N. Company. This company
have now got to work In earnest, develop
ing their mines. and 80 far Is the work has
progressed their efforts have met with the
most fiattering Notwithstanding con-
vincing evidence that their mines will be
permanent and r~emunerative. They are
now working some twenty men IN their
mines, besides some on the boring ma
chine, buildings and other improvements,
making, in all. about thirty men, and will
continue to work about that number all
winter. l would say, however, that this
Is not . good place for men TO come to who
desire to find employment during the win
ter months, as all avenues Of trade are
about full.
THE wyAxDorrE COMPANY
Is the only one employing men at present,
or likely to do SO this winter, and they can
only employ . limited number until their
mines are fully opened and . mill built.
1t is = rough experience for men coming .
long distance to an isolated camp, like
this. to find that their only chance il to
return TO where they came from. "a word
to The wise il sufficient" To men Of
means, however more especially men who
have capital which they wish to invest in
mines-1 would say thnt I believe there il
a. good . chance here for profitable in
the mining camps in the State Of Nevada.
Outside OF two or three mines in this dis
trict very little work has been done. In
fact,
THOUSANDS OF FEET
OF the most favorable mining ground has
been held for the last ten years that has
not, in all that time, had $50 worth Of
work done on it. However, this is not
likely to he tolerated much longer, a. pros
pectors coming in begin TO see to . GER
tainty that the mines Of this district are
both rich and permanent, n they will be
very likely to convince those claiming
mining ground that It requires 500 worth
of work done on each location to hold il
one year.
n wATER FnOHLEM
Is not yet solved. The Wyandotte com
pany are engaged in boring an artesian well,
and are very sanguine Of getting water.
II, however, they should fail to get water
by boring. they can get plenty by bringing
it in pipes . distance Of thirty miles; and I

the water in, il necessary for the success

WE HAVE oxE sToRE
In this camp, kept by D.. Mannheim and J.
McBirney, of Eureka, and three saloons,
or places where liquors are sold. We have
no hurdy-gurdy houses here yet, a. the
people Of Tenn Pahute are morally in.
clined, and, therefore, would not tolerate
anything Of that kind; but as the mines
are all looking well, and every person In
