JUDGE mIoN's PREFERENCES If CENTRAL PARK
CANNOT BE USED.
In the course of a recent talk on the PROJECT for
Worlds Fair in New-YOrk Judge Hilton said that
be was unwilling to give up the idea that the eX-
hibition should be held on Manhattan Island. lie
was exceedingly desiTous that the enterprise should
not limit itself to the creation Of passing show,
hut should leave some monument behind for the
benefit of the people permanent building
ADAPTED for q great museum, was what he had IN
mnd. The Only proper place for such structure
was in or near Central Park, which would always be
the great popular resort. matter to what extent
the city might grow in the future.
Judge Hilton seems TO cling TO the original plan
of his committee for using portion OF the Park for
the fair. He said he did not see why Central Park
should be regarded as any more sacred than liydo
Park, or the Champ de Mars, or the Vienna Prater,
which have all been used for exhibition sites. II
Central Park could not be obtained, however, he
thought it might be feasible TO use Morning Side
porl, and portion Of Riverside Park, provided part
of the Rloomu gdalo Asylum grounds, which lie be-
tween could be obtained. MOrnngsIde Park is

ROAD INSISTS ON LOWER FERRIAGE.
The officers Of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western railroad have conferred with those of the
New-York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, with a
view of obtaining the right to the ferries Of the
latter from Pavona-ave,, Jersey City, to Chambers
and West Twenty lird in this city. The ferries
from Hobollen now used by the former company are
owned by the Hoboken Land and Improvement
Company, which receives two and half cents
ferrage from the railroad company for each passen
ger This charge the railroad officers claim, is ex-
cessive. and they asked, some weeks ago, for Te-
duction hut the ferry company refused. Engineers
have surveyed the line for the proposed connection
with the Erie from the east end of the new tunnel
road in a straight line to the Pavona ferries. The
cost is estimated at 1926, 900 TO $1S0,000. No
change will be made if the HobOken Land and I'M
provement Company reduces its ferry rates II the
new connection is made the passenger trains only
will run TO Pavona ferries, and the freight and coH
trains will run to Hoboken, as at present.

A plan THAT viii Not Succeed.

The Lyon county Times" says that the
latest device to entrap the Lyon county
delegation into supporting the ex~tortionate
policy of the railroads is a proposition to
erect the Insane Asylum at New Jerusalem,
across the Carson river, and about a mile
and a half from Dayton. The amount to
be expended in building the Asylum is
fixed at 500, 900. Ii it were located at
Dayton, a railroad to transport building
materials, ETC., would become imperative,
and as the company claim that they can
not build more roads If the rates are re-
duced, our delegation might thus be in
duced to "stand in" Unfortunately, this
little scheme won't work. While in Car
son, last Wednesday, the ''Tilnes'' report
er called on Governor Kinkead, and was
informed that if the bill passed the Senate,
it would be vetoed. OF course, the bill
cannot be passed over the veto.

A pair of vertical hosting engines, to be
used in sinking the double incline winze
recently begun in the Alta lower levels,
will be completed at the Gold Hill foundry
to-day, says the Lyon County Times, and
will doubtless be in place at the mine and
ready to run by the end of the week. They
are made in parts so that they can be taken
through an opening AKA feet; the sole plate
(which is the heaviest piece) only weighs
l, 800 pounds. All the machinery is on this
sole plate, and there is no chance of its
getting out of line. The cylinders are
8x16 inches, have balanced piston-valves,
and the steam chests are lined with brass.
The engines are geared 4 to /, have two
reels, will be run by compressed air, and
are Of sufficient capacity to sink 900 feet.
The weight of all, complete, is abot 5000
pounds. They were designed by J. Pitch
ford, Superintendent Of the Gold Hill
foundry, and cost 81, 900.

Mines and Miners.
A large water flume is being built by the
K X down the canyon through their waste
dump.
Mr.. Frank Allen, foreman OF the K X
mine, is improving slowly. He is out Of
danger, but will not be around for some
days yet.
Mr.. W. W. Rumble, who had the toes Of
his right foot cut off in January by the
cage of the Eureka Con-, is still unable to
resume work.
About 200 tons Of ore are shipped daily
by the Richmond.
Eldorado mine, Prospect Mountain, is
now worked on lease by six men.
The Silver State and Original Baltic
mines have been bonded to some Eureka
capitalists.
Rapid progress is being made on the
Phenix incline.
The Jackson is still shipping its usual
quantity and quality of ore to the Meta
moras.
The new pinion wheel of the Eureka
Con. has been placed in position.
Later reports from the Rescue, at Sill
verado, confirm the report Of q rich strike
last week.
The ore in the Needle mine is increasing
in value. 1t is worked by two shifts now.
and every effort will be made to develop it.
The Hamburg.
superintendent Powell reports opera
ions for the week as follows:
! The intermediate drift, 100 feet below
the 250-foot level, was advanced twenty-five
feet during the past week beyond the up
raise, following the vein, which shows a
material improvement, and is yielding a
considerable amount Of good ore.
On the G00-foot level the west crosscut
was advanced fit cen feet, making a total
from the south drift of $50 feet, with no
special change. South drift from cross
cut advanced eighteen feet, making a total
Of eighty-nine feet; is in favorable vein
matter, with punches of iron and low
grade ore.
The winze was sun min feet, in very
hard rock, but the bottom is now in soft
material, which works we'll.
On the 450-foot level we have started an
east crosscut 1886 feet north OF turE-table,
which is now in eleven feet.
The Eureka Consolidated.
Mr.. Donnelly makes the following report
for the week just passed:
WORK has been carried on at the mine
with good progress in extending drifts, etc.,
there having been 204 feet completed dur

and hosting through both compartments
is going on as usual. Furnace No. 3 started
up on Thursday, and is running first-rate.
The following work has been done on the

A correspondent Of the Denver "Tri-
bune," abiding to the mining prospects at
Leadville, says: cone thing is certain,
and that is that neither Leadville or Silver
Cliff can at present hold out any induce
ment to men without means. 1t is worse
than useless for laboring men. without any
money whatever, to go to Leadville or the
Cliff. There are now more than three times
as many people of this class in either place
as can secure employment, or accommoda-
tons Of any kind, and if rent keeps up at
the present rate, the suffering will be ter
rible before March closes. To-day there
are hundreds Of persons in Leadville, and
scores at the Cliff, who do not know from
one day to the next where they may find
room to lie down at night. They sleep un-
der houses, in boxes and barrels, and
wherever else they can find room to protect
themselves from the cold and this fact,
more than all others, accounts for the NOR
tality at Leadville. 1t is not, in my judg-
ment, the fault Of the climate, but the
mortality arises from exposure more than
all other causes"

Surveyor Gencrni.. Rnnort.

The report of the Surveyor General and
ex-oficio Land Register for 1s77-1S7s,
says the Enterprise" has been published.
1t is filled with statistics Of little or no
value, owing to the neglect of many OF the
County Assessors to report to the Surveyor
General, as required by law. We trust
that the present incumbent will see that
the Assessors perform their whole duty in
this regard, in order that something like
an intelligent showing of the industries of
the State may be made at the close Of 1880.
The report shows that there was a decrease
OF almost everything in the State from
1877 to 1878. except in the product and
consumption of lager beer and timber
lands, and, considering the large area of
lands cleared of timber every year, the re-
ported increase is a reasonable source of
wonder. A few OF the figures are as fol-
lows
