i'm the Record of last Saturday.
The Techattucup Silver and Gold Min
ing Company, Of Ell Dorado Canyon, has
levied an assessment Of one dollar per
share on the capital stock Of the company,
delinquent in the Office September 30th.
The Meadow Valley Company has brought
suit against the Raymond q Ely Co. for
1900. The former company claims that
the latter owe them that for old castings.
The Raymond Company will very likely
fight this case to the bitter end.
The Raymond d Ely Company is deter
mined not to be behind in the coming
heated contest, and also announces itself.
The stockholders are requested to plank up
q 50 assment on their stock. The Eastern
ers must still retain their stock.
Messrs. Curtis & Thompson, who are
connected with the Geological Survey, I'M
der the direction Of Clarence King, are now
in Phoebe. They are here on business con-
nected with the enumeration of mines.
Some six years ago Mr.. Curtis was assayer
ct the Dry Valley mill.
The real estate of the Raymond Il Ely
Company was sold at Sheriff7s sale Thurs
day noon for $50, 862.18 and was bid in by
the mortgages. Don'tsee why they didn't
make it $50, 1862. Is, thus making it even

Mr.. Ferguson, q nephew of Jackson Fer

census of the Muddy District. which had
been overlooked.
The following notice has been issued by
the Board Of Trustees of the Raymond &
Ely Company: The Indebtedness Of this
company amounts to $4,000. The prop
erty Of the company, both real and per-
sonal, has been attached by its creditors,
and is advertised for sale by the Sheriff on
the I'd Of September, 1880. AT the delin-
quent assessment sales the company has
bid in about 10, 900 shares of its stock; there
are about $4,000 shares outstanding. We
deem it our duty, as trustees for the stock
holders, to give thsm an opportunity to re-
deem the property and pay OFF the debts of
the company. We have, therefore, levied
an assessment sufficient for that purpose.

at the residence OF the latter last evening
to pay a parting visit to the young lady,
who leaves for her home in San Francisco

a most enjoyable affair, the hours being

WARD ITEMS.

| The Reflections of q Week rs Re.
fIected I'm h Reflex of last Sat.
urday.
Dave F~elsenthal informs us that Sc tons
Of ore from the Crescent mine, at Osceola,
worked at the mill in that place, went ,S22
to the ton.
The Republican County Central Com
mittee has "ordered" the primary election
TO be held September 18th, and the County
Convention on the 2Sth.
Frank Leslie is backing his faith in this
district by building the first house in
Ward since the time in 1876 you crossed
the street by climbing over o mules back,
or you didn't cross.
The Martin White main tunnel had not
been measured when we went to press, but
il the average progress OF ten feet a day
has been made for the week ending to-day,
it is now 2,4l1 feet in length.
Dan Morris, who returned from a visit
to Grantsville, Candelaria, Belmont and
other places in the Western portion of the
State, reports that he did not succeed in
finding q place that has better prospects
than Ward.
Ed. Raum, Sheriff, and w. R. Forrest,
County Clerk, were in town Monday and
left next day for Osceola and parts un-
known. The object Of their visit is not
apparent, unless it be for the purpose Of
fixing things for the primaries.
Aaron D. Campton tells us that as far as
he is informed the copper smelling fur
mace at Ely will not remain idle for any
great length of time. There is any amount
Of is per cent. copper ore in sight, the
existence of which will not be ignored
when the furnace starts again.
By letter from Hamilton we are in
formed that much dark political work is
going on there, and that no one can make
a move without being Swallowed. The
writer also says that our county officials
fully realize the fact that they can only
win by q scratch.

FIip-up ON the Eberhardt Grade.


1t transpires hat there are happenings
over in Hamilton which have never been
%chronicled in that burg's representative
sheet the White Pine Newsstand Davis,
one of the proprietors, knew all about it.
The News has never told us how, nor ''for
why" Mr.. Davis put on his good clothes;
hired the best livery outfit in town; asked
the reignirg belle to join him on a journey
to E~berhardt; how the lady duplicated
and plead with her reckless and furious es-
cort ''to drive slow" how at last he Of the
News was ''willin';' and how, by that
time, the return trip was entered upon.
People in that section acknowledge to nav
ing seen q dust and flying fragments;
thought a meteor had alighted on the
grade. 1t was a r~unaway-of the horse,
with carriage and occupants. An hour
after, and the horse crawled into the stable
crippled for life; the wood and iron work
OF the buggy was converted into tooth
picks and hairpins instantly; the whip
hangs in a pine tree 80 feet from the
ground; the lady was deposited ON the up
per side OF the grade, and Davis-oh,
where was he standing on his editorial
''cabesa" in a chasm $50 feet below. The
News don't tell us whether the livery ami
NAL got his caudal appendage over the lines
as he endeavored to brush AVA the blue
tailed fly, or whether some member of the
temperance society at Eberhsrdt gave the
horse a bottle of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers while d. and his lady were cavorting
around the canyon; and it don't say why
Davis laid the reins upon the dashboard,
thus giving the horse a chance to hurry
home. Lots Of things happen, and there's
nothing said about it in the White Pine
NaMa.

OSCEOLA.
Interview with an Enthusiastic
Resident of thai District.

y IN EAAtAhASh68bAC
Resident of that District.
The Golden Solicitor and View Artist
Of old California record-C. II. Hart-has
skipped and skirmished around until
osceola District has captured him bodily.
Charley has taken a run over to Eureka,
and talks nothing but Of the richness Of
the section from whence he comes. A
SENTINEL reporter elected the following,
while he held a specimen Of ore in his
hand that was literally LOUSY with gold"
Mr.. Hart had several specimens that were
very rich. In April last he went over to
osceola with General Spencer. The Gen.
eral, with our townsman, Jot Travis, and
Jack Gilmer, are the "bone and sinew" Of
the Osceola Mining Company. In csn
nection with the placers Of Osceola Dis
trict, the work Of this company in mining
for ore, and treating it in their mill, has
been productive Of quite q settlements
town, indeed, Of 100 or lao inhabitants.
In April the ore worked by this company
milled but 81 and S. per ton, at a depth Of
100 feet now, at q depth Of S45 feet, it
works S22 per ton. As our informant left
ObScOAd nc Wac tOlu tubb tLo lhbt A0W ubyb
labor had developed a vein in the compa-
ny's property seven feet in width, which
would assay S25 per ton. Upon the dump
there is about 1875 tons, and the force en-
| ployed, although only Is in number-two
shifts-are constantly gaining on the mill.
| The fact is, thesmill is too small even for
this force. being only of five or ten stamps,
| 1--WE have forgotten which figure our In
formant gave u.s. With the present quail
ity Of ore in sight, and the ease with which
it can be extracted. General Spencer pre-
diets that q 20-stamp mill will be an abso-
lutte necessity, and that Immediately, for
the benefit Of the company.
The expenses of mill and mine since
General Spencer took hold have run from
$500 to $4,000 per month, and up to
last month a portion had to be borne in
assessments. But August's yield covered
all expense and left a balance in the treas
ury. This certainly is a very encouraging
state Of affairs at this time. A mine that
yields SO richly in prospecting is a bonanza
indeed, and cannot fail to make Osceola
known in future history as q camp worthy
Of note on the Pacific Coast.
White Piners and Austinites all know
Jack Erwin. and Jack is manager OF
the mine. He understands his business,
and all work completed under his super
vision is well done.
Mr.. Hart is in charge of the mill says
the country suits him the placers are the
| richest on the coast will have water to
work them another summer the mine is
second only to those on Ruby Hill, and will
soon lead even their regular output; game
is plentiful over there, and the creeks on
the west side of JEFF Davis Peak furnish
plenty of speckled trout; the camp and
country is Democratic, etc., etc.
