On Our Most Distant Fronner.

As in our busiest and most ~pOpulOus cities of
the seaboard and interior. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is pre-eminently popular. Wherever
civilization plants its foot on this continent,
thither the great tonic finds it way. Nor is
this surprising, for it is the medicine of all
Others best adapted to the wants of the West
ern emigrant, be he miner or agriculturist.
Il is an incompatible remedy for the diseases
to which he is most subject, and which are
liable to be brought on by change of climate,
hardship, exposure, unaccustomed air and
diet, and miasmatie atmosphere and water,
Among these are disorders of the stomach
ana bowels, rheumatic ailments, ard malari-
Gus feyers, for all Of which Hostetter's Biiters
is q certain specific. A course of the Bitters
before departing for the new field of labor, or
on arriving, will have the effect of preventing
the evils for which it is such a signal remedy

SILVER REEF ITEMS.
[ From the Miner,I

The lower level of the Last Chance mine
is yielding very rich ore. The best Of it
goes from $500 to ST 500 per ton. From
so to 20 tons Of ore are raised from the
mine daily.
We nave it on good authority that since
March LIST, the Christy Mill and Mining
Company's five-stamp mill has daily
worked As tons of ore. How is this for
the much-abused sandstone district?
The closest call that the town has had
in the matter of fire, occurred on
Tuesday evening in one of the bed
rooms connected with the Alham-
bra. A very few minutes more
would certainly have produced a general
blaze. The evidences, as in the former
cases, are that the torch Of the incen-
diary was applied. A lamp was removed
from a stand and thrown under a bedstead,
some four feet distant. The bottom mat
tress was burned through, and the flames
were beginning to climb the wall when
discovered. We recommend that a public
meeting be called, and such measures be
adopted as shall insure the protection Of
the town.

st. Patrick's Day.

Yesterday was st. Patrick's day, and il
we were to judge Of the number and patriot
ism Of Eureka Irishmen by the display
made, we would necessarily be obliged to
place both at q low figure. Our Irish
population, however, is not large, and a
great portion Of it is so employed rs TO
render a proper observance Of the day i'm
possible. Mr.. J. ID. Power. Of the Rich
mond. and Ed. N. Robinson, Of the Albion,
made some amends late in the day, and ran
up Ireland's emblem under the American
flag on the town flag staff. We we're al
ways under the impression that Powers
was a ''blarsted EnglishmaB,'' and that
Ed. was q Downeaster, but their action
yesterday stamp them as true descendants
Of ''Ould Ireland" This act on the part
Of Messrs. Power and Robinson was alto
gether an impromptu one. Seeing that no
one paid especial attention to the day, Mr..
Power enlisted Mr.. Robinson's services,
and together they manufactured the Irish
flag that, throughout the afternoon and
evening, proudly foated from the flag
staff. 1t was 80 well executed that many
persons declared it was the silk flag of the
Hibernian Society, which was made in San
Francisco,

There is no more enterprising man within
the boundaries of Eureka than Joe Mendes.
He has always some scheme on foot calcu-
lated to advance not only his interests, but
that of our immediate vicinity. Joe's
latest kink was that he thought hops would
grow in this section, and so he asked a
Reno agent what 500 roots would cost from
his nursery. Fifty cents each. or $3.50 for
the lot, was the modest reply that consider
ably staggered Joe, and left him under the
impression that hop culture wasn't such a
d%cvilish good thing after all. He was not
discouraged, however. and after making
some inquiries telegraphed to Sacramento.
and received a reply that 500 plants would
he furnished for S12.50. or just S237 80 less
than what was asked by the Reno party.
The mildest term Joe uses, when speaking
! of the matter. is that it was add swindle,
aud he has now gone into the business
himself, and offers to furnish hop roots for
our entire section at three-fourths of a cent
each.

The Harrison safety Hook.

notice of the safety-hook to be used in
mines, TO prevent the over-winding OF the
p and running the cages into the
sheaves. Many lives have been sacrificed
in this manner, and the inventor,
Mr.. H. c. Harrison, has twice very nearly
lost his life by the o~ver-winding of the
rope, while ascending from shafts in mines.
Since our notice, made from an examina-
ton of the model, Mr.. Harrison has been
to San Francisco and had one made, which
was yesterday put mp at the foundry OF

the District Court yesterday. The X X
it seems located a mill site, and John pro-
tested on the plea that he had located
the ground, which is known as the Detroit
mine, as a mining claim. During the
afternoon Judge Rives, accompanied by
mining experts and the parties interested,
made a personal examination of the ground.
A decision adverse to Mr.. Baker and in
favor of the K X was the result, the Judge
basing his decision on the recognized law
that, as the ground in question contained
10 indications of mineral deposit the claim
of Mr.. Baker would not hold good.
