FEAST OF PURrM.-The Jewish Feast of
Purim begins tomorrow. March 9th.
The celebration of Purim is founded
upon the occurrences as recorded in the
Book Of Esther, and ole as follows:
Haman, a minister of the Persian
King Ahasuerus, who, because Morda-
cal. Jew, refused to pay him homage,
resolved upon the destruction of all the
Jews in the Persian Monarchy. By
falsehood and intrigue he succeeded in
obtaining decree for this purpose; but
Esther, the Jewish consort of Ahasuerus,
interposed for their delivery and Haman
was hanged on the very gibbet he had
caused to be erected for Mordacai, and
general massacre of the Jews was pre-
vented and Queen Esther saved the peo-
pie of her race OF the risk of her own
life. To commemorate the almost mir
aculous salvation of their people and the
destruction of their enemy, Mordecai
and Esther introduced the fast of the
18th of Adar. the day of danger, and the
festival OF Purim on the 18th and 14th
Of the same month as days of entertain
ment and joy and giving aims to the
poor. Adar is the 9Th month in the civil
year of the Jews, and the 18th in the end
OF their sacred year, answering to the
end Of February and the beginning OF
March with our calender. Purim will be
celebrated by ball in Virginia City and
Eureka and in Phoebe and other towns by
all of the Jewish persuasion in sociable
meetings, dinners, etc.
RAYMoND & ELY M1LL.-Last Monday
the Raymond & Ely mill was running
twenty stamps on ore, and had been do
ing so for several days previous. During
that day train of fourteen cars arrived
at the mill, containing 70 tons OF ore that
will work between 5000 and $500 per
ton, taken from the upper levels of the
mine. The train brought back four bars
Of bullion valued at SIS, 1853, which was
shipped below Tuesday. This, with
$4,000 shipped before on February &C.
count, and SIG, 900 to be shipped to-
morrow from the ore taken to mill Mon
day, will make over $4,000 in bullion
shipped on the February working of the
mine, leaving profit on that short
month over all expenses, SO we are in
formed by the Superintendent, of over
$4,000. This is very fair showing
for that month.
San FRANCISCO D1sTR1cT.-F. A. Buck
returned from San Francisco District
Monday evening. He states that there
are several experts from the East now
examining the Horn Silver mine, and
that it is the impression that it depends
on their report whether the sale be made
OF not. He brought some specimens
of ore from the mine. The ore is very
low grade Of smelling ore, going about
$3.50 to the ton of bullion. Business il
very fair there. but Campbell. Cullen &
Co. have monopoly of the trade.
