The Lendyi,Ie Ore Out,ut.

Reports from Leadville, Colorado, says
the Mining journal, state that the silver
production in that region exceeds the ex-
peetations Of the most sanguine. New
discoveries are reported daily. The pro-
duet Of the leading mines has increased SO
per cent. within the past two weeks. Two
thousand tons. yielding 100000 of silver,
were delivered last week, and 5000 tons of
high grade ore are awaiting transportation.
In this connection we note the organize
ton of two distinct transportation com
panies, organized for the special purpose
Of transporting ore from the Leadvillo
MINES. All the smelling works arc re-
ported as running at their full capacity.
The low grade mines are not shipping but
are waiting the arrival of the railroads and
more smelling capacity. Leading ore buy
ers estimate that the product Of the camp
for the year 1878 will mount to three mil
lion dollars.

minstrelsy anl bGrlesque acting is cxcep-

The dresses are really superb in style and
fabric, ana the music mpar with that

part, is all that could be desired. The end
men are funny without OVERRIDING it, and
the interlocutor is a good actor. The sing

actrr songs were full Of merit. Two very
langhablc farccs serve to relieve the bill
and set the audience in the greatest good
humor. The closing burlesque. Paris, :"

psny. and with very witty sallies, happy
local hits, apt puns. and h%ewi,ching music

when he chops and becomes a ''bull' he

The Grand Prize Mine.

The Times Rerie,c states that a prospect
ing hole has been drilled five feet into the
crosscut at the 500 level in the Grand Prize.
There is still no indication of a loot wall,

Sudden Death of AssembIyman
WnIsh-A Batch of Minor Items.

CARSON Cry, January 8.
EDrroR SENTINEL: Assemblyman Walsh,
of Lincoln, died last night. His disease
was consumption. He came here in feeble
health, and for the last few days had been
confined to his room. 1t was not thought.
however, that he was in immediate danger.
Colonel Allen, also Of Lincoln. lodged in
an adjoining room. When Colonel Allen
retired last night lie left Mr.. Walsh resting
comparatively comfortable. He was sur
prised, on arising this morning, to find
him dead. At the conclusion Of the morn
ing hour both Houses adjourned over to
Friday in respect to the memory Of the de-
ceased member.
But little was done in either House to-
dav. outside OF routiue business. the nature
aud scope Of which has been furnished you
by telegraph.
The press is represented here as follows !:
Senator powning does the Associate tele-
graph business; Dick Rule represents the
San Francisco Chronicle and Gold Hill
Ners: VIM. Gillespie, the Enterprise;
Fred. Hart, the Eureka Leadey; Ed. Park
inson, the Carson Tribune, and Mrs.
Mighels reports Tor the MOfntng Appear.
San Francisco journalists are scarce here
abouts this winter.
Governor Kinkead wears his honors
modcstly, and seems to be a very level
headed kind Of a man. Fumes" has an
idea that he will make an acceptable and
popular Governor. Captain Geo. G..
Lyons, his private secretary, is q gentle
man of culture and extensive reading.
Governor Bradley is rapidly convalesc-
ing.
Cassidy gave notice Of a bill, to-day, for
the better protection OF the ~stock-dealing
public. 1t ought to make the giving Of
points" a felony.
The Eureka boys are all moving along
nicely, and will soon get down to their
work in earnest. Colonel Caravan will
organize the Third House in a few days.
The rumor that he has offered : $1,000 for
the Speakership Of that honorable body, Is
not generally credited in well posted po-
litical and financial circles, In this con-
n~ection. it is pertinent to say that the
Grand Jury Of Ormsby county to-day re-
turned true bills against a lot OF people for
buying and selling votes at the recent
election. Correct.

LITTLE A lyeprN.

A correspondent Of the Black Hills
Times writing from Rockville under date
Of December 9th, says:
As you are aware, our our are as
yet comparatively undevelopcd, but suf-
f~iciently so to prove the existence here and
in the vicinity Of certainly the richest and
most extensive placer diggings in the Hills.
During the season just brought to a close
by the cold weather, dust estimated at from
$50, 900 to SIS, 900 has been taken out Of
the digsings comprised within an area Of
five miles around this place. An idea Of
the richness Of the district can be formed
by being told that these are essentially dry
diggiugs, and that most Of the dirt is
hauled a distance of one or two miles to be
sluiced. /. is no common thing to get
prospects of from 81 to 81 50 to the pan,
while in some of the claims prospects as
high as seven p~cnny-weiShts to the pan
have been had.
Lack of water is the drawback, and with
a sufficient supply of water our placer gold
yield would be unprecedented in the Hills.
In this connection, l will state that a local
ditch company has been formed here, and
they have promised to have the ditch COM
| pleted early in the Spring. The company
Is COnIpOoCu VI IL IL W. AAth5 III W. u
Morris and j. J.. French, and If they
complete their enterprise, it will be OF much
benefit to the camp.
Our quartz mill, which has heretofore
been attended with such disastrous failure,
has changed hands again, and is now owned
by an Eastern company, who have also
purchased the rich cement deposit, a quar-
ter Of a mile from town, and known az
Mineral Hill. The cement in this hill
prospects 500 to the ton, but heretofore all
efforts to save gold have been Intellectual
From experiments made in Chicago q
remedy has been found by first roasting it,
and by this process it is claimed so pei
cent. of the gold can be saved. 1t is now
the intention Of the company to introduce
the proper mechanical c~ontrivances and
start the mill running ON the cement early
in January next.
About ten days ago rich ~digginSs were
struck on Spring Creek, at a distance OF
four miles from here, and as soon as the
news got out, a general stampede was the
natural consequence, and claims were
staked for tive miles above and below the
discovery. A new district was then formed,
and VIM. Mcmillan was elected President
and +. w. Knight Recorder Of the distaict,
which was named the Limestone Mining
District.

The Coming Glove Fight.

The Virginia Chronicle" of last Tues
day has following: Lynn, the man
matched to fight Hallinan for 81 900 a
side, is now in the city getting acclimated
for the contest of the 23d. He is in excel
lent condition. Hallinan, on the contrary,
has not entirely recovered from his re-
cent sickness, and to-day his trainer
seemed a tritie dissatisfied over the
prospects, but said he felt conf
dent Of being able to get his man into first
class shape within the two weeks yet re-
naming. Yesterday the gloves to be used
in the fight arrived and were placed on
exhibition at the Delta. Here the princi-
pals got into a wrangle over the make and
size, and a fight nearly resulted.
Lynn remarked to Mailman "If you
will go over the hills, I'll fight you now
Hallinan replied Il am matched to
fight you for a thousand dollars, and you
will have all the fighting you val when
the time comes"
The betting is slightly in favor of Lynn.

A GOOD MAN GONE.
Death OF Justice Mexican, of Utah
Territory.

Ex-Chief Justice Mexican dice at Salt
Lake last Sunday Of typhoid fever, aged
fifty-seven. The announcement of his
death brought sadness to the heart of every
Gentle in Utah. all feeling that in him they
had lost a near and dear friend. and the
liberal cause a champion. He was the first
Judge to make Mormon pri' SITS feel the
strong arm OF the Government, and that
the law Of the land was above that Of the
church, and that had he been sustained by
the Government when he imprisoned
Brigham Young in the Utah penitentiary
for contempt, the polysamy question would
have been practically settled. The Judge
was a native Of New York, and was born
near Saratoga. During the war Of the
rebellion Inc served with distinction as
Colonel OF the Seventeenth Regiment. He
also represented his district in Congress
for two terms, and was then appointed
Chief Justice Of Utah by President Grant.
The Courts adjourned in honor of his
memory. A meeting of the bar was held
and eloquent e~ulogi,s pronounced by
Judges Tilford, Rosborough, Mcbride,
Marshall and others.
