The Way vanderbilt Succeeded

When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steamboats, he beat all rivals
by crOwding on steam to the utmost,
and even running down his enemy if
necessary, to accomplish a triumph.
When he went into railrOadiDg, he
adopted much sbrewder and more
successful way, by uniting vast lines
and their tributaries under his own
management, thus capturing all rivals,
by sharing with them the immense
pool of profits that were made by his
skillful manipulation. Messrs. Law
renee 81 Co., Bankers, n. Y, accom-
plish a much greater success in stock
operations by their new Combination
Method of dealing. By this system
the orders, of thousands of customers
are pooled into one vast sum and CO.
operated under the most eXperienc ced
management, thus giving to each
shareholder all the benefits OF large
capital and best skill. Profits divided
monthly. Any amount from S. to
$25, 900 can be used with great success.
$I5 will make SO profit. $50 would
return S720 or per cent. on the stock
during the month, according to the
market. The new circular (mailed
free) has 1.-TWO unerring rules for sue
ees" and foil explanations, so that any
one can operate profitably. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Government bonds

The TsnAt Rev<v. contrasting the
present oailook With the condition OF
the district . year ago, says:
But one mill was running. and that
oHly part a the time. and the bullion
shipments amounted 70 less than &c.
600 per week. Comparatively few men
were employed IN the mines. and pre-
dictions Of . dull year were common.
Il vas generally believed and said. both
al home and abroad. that the Tuscarora
mines could not last another twelve
months. Since then the district has
been more prosperous than ever before.
q larger number OF men have found EN-.
ployment in the mines and mills, bust.
ness has been brisker and better. more
money has been in circulation, and the
bullion product Of our mines is lnrger
than 1t has ever been in any year since
the district was organized. More than
half q million dollars. in dividends,
have been paid to stockholders in Tus
carora mines since last january. The
mines at present are generally looking
well. Four Of them are bullion pro.
ducers at present. and by tho first Of
the year another will probably be added
to the list. A new mill has been
erected during the year. and has been
employed most Of the time since com.
pletion. Several new prospects have
been opened mp, which promise with
further development. to become valua.

for the year will not fall short Of a mil.
lion and a quarter Of dollars and il 1879

FROM the Eureka Sentinel we learn
that a highway robbery was attempted
upon Ave Mormons, a few days ago,
whilo oncamped on lthe road between
Eureka and Hamilton. .3
While eating supper two armed and
masked mon suddenly entered their
p camp. and called out. Hands up!''
; Pearson, one OF the Mormons, closed
with one Of the robbers, and in the
scuflo the latters pistol was discharged,
the ball entering the arm ut the elbow.
His companion immediately shot Pear
o through the abdomen. Both rob-
bers fed, aud made good their escape
in the darkness.
Pesrsnn's companion conveyed him
TO Hamilton, and from accounts brought
yesterday it Is doubtful il We will recoy-
or,
Que William Hill. a former employe
Mt one Of the furnaces. who told that
he had been shot by the Mormons, has
been arrested rs one Of the robbers, in
Eureka, and another man named Eu-
gene Benson. his supposed companion
in tho attempted robbery, has since
been arrested in the snme place.
The keeper Of the station at which
the Mormons were encamped ut the
time they were assailed, thinks he can
y recognize both men. .|
Hill will probably lose the arm which
was shot.
