NER STATISTICS.
Am Important Work Now I'm Pro-
gress In Eureka.

In connection with the Census Office and
the United States Geological Survey under
the Hon. Clarence King, an examination Of
the mining industry Of the United States
is being made for the purpose Of elucidat-
ing as far as practicable its character, ex-
tent, and total influence.
No industry has ever been examined
throughout an extensive region so funda-
mentally and infinitely as it is intended
that the mineral industry of the West shall
have been when this inquiry has been sue
cessfully accomplished. The result will
be a great addition to the data OF political
economy and will form a systematic ac-
emulation Of technical facts, such as does
not at present exist. This investigation
being planned in the interest OF mining
men throughout the country, it is to be
hoped that owners and superintendents
will furnish, as far as they are able, the
desired information.
Mr.. j. s. Curtis, a competent gentleman,
has this business in hand for Eureka Dis
trict. He has been quietly pursuing his
labors here for the past two weeks. Moth
ing tending to place the district and its re-
sources or a fair, meritorious basis before
the world should be withheld by miners
and mining men. With this view we be-
speak for Mr.. Curtis such assistance and
courtesies as may be within the power of
those at the head of the great mining in
dustry,

The Queen OF All.

Honor the dear old mother. Time has
scattered the snowy flakes IN her brow,
plowed deep burrows OIL her cheeks, but is
she not sweet and beautiful now? The lips
are thin and shrunken; but those are the
lips which have kissed many a hot tear
from childish cheeks, and they are the
sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim,
yet it CLOVIS with the soft radiance of holy
love which can never fade. All, yes, she is
a dear old mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she
will go further and reach down lower for
you thar any other upon earth. You can
not walk into midnight where she can not
see you; you can not enter a prison whose
bars will keep her out; you can never
mount a scaffold too high for her to reach,
that she may kiss and bless you in evidence
Of her deathless love. When the world
shall despise and forsake you, when it
leaves you by the wayside unnoticed, the
dear old mother will gather you in her
feeble arms, and carry you home and tell
you of all your virtues until you almost
forget that your soul is disfgured by vices.
Love her tenderly and cheer her declining
years with holy devotion.

Empire BILLIARDS..

billiard table in the Empire saloon. Mr..
Hedley is a gentleman who is willing to
adapt himself to any honorable calling to
get along in the world. He has won hosts
of friends since his advent in Eureka,

Hedley will endeavor to bring out the
latent billiard talent of Eureka. 1t is his
purpose TO get up a series OF tournaments,
hanging up from time to time appropriate

Our Country Cousins.

This old fashioned talk is from the New
York Herald Considerable criticism has
been made Of the country cousin who
comes to New York and makes a hotel OF
his city friends house while he goes about
shopping. 1t is true that the country
cousin, who at home has acres around him,
and who leaves his hoe under a tree half a
mile from the place where he left the fruit
ladder, does not readily comprehend that
his city friend does not own the adjoining
house and water his horse at the park
fountain, but it is also true that the city
man when he goes to the country feels all
the breadth and freedom of the acres. He
will not understand why a laying hen can
not be broiled for breakfast, or why a whole
pan of Dreaming milk saved for the churn-
ing, may not be spoiled when he wishes a
cupful for the baby. The horse that is
ploughing corn is never thought OF by the
city man as being in the right place when
he ought to be drawing a phaeton, and
when the lady who in white muslin has
been up the road picking roses from a
lawn, hears the owner of the roses request
ing her host to keep his city folks out OF
his garden. she says, show mean these
country folks are |"

The following is from the Salt Lake Tri-
of San Francisco, is at the Valley House.
Mr.. Wall came to this city with the desire
to secure the theatre TO present the play,
Through Deaths Valley" the company
playing being represented by that gentle
man. He was refused the house on the
ground, as we understand it, that the play
too closely represents some scenes in that
horrible tragedy played some years since
in this Territory, and called 1.-THE Noun
tain Meadows Massacre" Brigham Young
and others will be rccollected as the actors.
The excitement over that tragedy has not
yet subsidized, though the actors who still
live, long to see the curtain rung down.

The Black Foot.

Mr.. Frank Money, who arrived here yes
terday from the Wells, informs us that q
large number of calves and yearlings are
rapidly dying from a disease called the
''black foot" In England the disease is
known as the ''cattle plague" He says
the first heard of the disease. this year,
was on Goose creek. Idaho. E. P. Har-
desty, of Humboldt Wells, has lost large
number of yearlings and calves. Tom
keogh, and Scott 4 Hanks lave also sus-
tanned great losses. Mr.. Money says he
has not heard any cause assigned for the
disease, but is decidedly Of the opinion
that veal is not a healthy kind OF meat to
eat at the present time. Mr.. Money is an
old cattle man, and should know whereof
he speaks.

Mr.. A. G.. Mandel, a New York capitalist,
and a half owner in the California mine,
on Prospect Mountain, arrived from Cali
fornia on Thursday evening. Yesterday,
in company with Superintendent Donnelly
they visited the California mine, and both
were agreeably surprised to find such a
valuable property. We understand that
Mr.. Mandel will furnish the capital, and
that extensive mining operations will be
commenced at once. All that Eureka
needs, to make her prosperous. is capital
enough to develop a few Of her mines. II
our people can have patience enough, the
necessary capital will come Of it's own ac-
cord after a while.

The Gunnison Country No Good.

Robert Redding, of Gold Hill, who is
in Colorado, and has been prospecting in
the Gunnison country, writes as follows
to a friend: "This is the poorest mineral
country that a man ever saw. / did not
get a color of gold on the reservation.
The formation is wholly sandstone, and
there is not a bit Of quartz in the portion
we prospected, clear to the Grand River,
a large stream about a quarter of a mile
wide. The way the papers are blowing
about this country is worse than highway
robbery. There are some good mines in
Colorado, butnot in the Gunnison country.
l advise any man who wants TO go pros
pecting to strike for some other section of
the country.

ter Of the 18th inst. contains the following
notes Of interest
Mr.. George Thatcher arrived on Fridays
stage from San Francisco, via Eureka and
Hamilton.
Mr.. James Elnathan Smith, Of New York
city, who has been with us on mining bus
mess for the past week, leaves for the East
ON Tuesdays stage.

ed forward as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. A. Hurd, of Boston, Mass, has been
spending several days with us. Mr.. H. is
one of the owners Of the McCurdy mine,
and is a gentleman of large means.
Messrs. Gray and Hillbank, of New York,
spent several days here last week. The
gentlemen came to look at some mining
| property in this district and returned on
Sundays stage.
Professors Newberry and Herr made a
very thorough examination of the Teacup
mine, taking samples from the face of every
body of ore from the surface to the 770-foot
level, spending three days at their labor,
and making a large number Of assays, the
result OF which course the public are not
advised, but if the gentlemen negotiating
for the property expect anything like a high
average assay they are bound totbe disap-
pointed, as it is a ~well-known fact that the
mine was last worked by a party of chic
riders, who gouged out all the rich ore in
sight, leaving nothing to be sampled but
low grade ore. The Professors have made
a trip to Ruby Hill and the McCurdy mine,
and will, on their return, make an exami-
nation of the Ell Captain mine. Prof. New
berry will leave on to-morrow's stage for
Salt Lake. Prof. Herr goes to California
for a short trip.
