bouts.
MINERAL HILL, December 26, 1880.
Ed. SENTINEL The events Of a merry
Christmas day here eliminated in a grand
ball at Bullion Hall in the evening. 1t
was "the event of the season" and eclipsed
anything heretofore given in this section
OF the county. The supper was served in
the hall. The tables were loaded with the
finest meats and viands to be found in the
San Francisco market. The hall was filled
at an early hour, and dancing was kept up
until daylight, when the merry r~eveiers
voted Mr.. J. L. Thompson, the promoter
OF the entertainment, without an equal in
getting up Christmas festivities.
MINING.
No great amount Of mining woSk is be-
ing done here at present. The Austin and
Spencer Companies are employing a few
men, and it is not probable their force will
be increased during the winter. There
are quite o number of private parties
working claims on the Hill, with very good
results. A shipment of ore from the Fri
day min last week returned a handsome
remuneration to the proprietors, and it is
said another shipment will shortly follow.
UNION DISTRICT
Is attracting considerable attention, and
seems to be having a boom. Quite a num-
Der Of men have gone, and others are 60
ing in daily. Work will be actively prose-
cuted on the Independence, Grand Treas
ure, Victoria, Star and some of the other
principal mines during the winter, while
many are already on the ground, waiting
to relocate good mines on the first of IAN
uary-mines up ON which the necessary as
sessment work has not been performed,
through the i~mpecuniosity of the owners
or other causes.
A NEW FURNACE.
There is a proposition to consolidate
some of the mines in Union District and
erect a furnace, but whether it will be con-
summated this winter is not yet apparent.
II is to be hoped that something of the
kline will be done, and then a boom in
Union will set in in earnest and when it
does we predict a more rapid increase in
population han has been witnessed in any
mining camp for several years.
The mines are there, and all that is
needed is a little capital, and the sooner
enterprising individuals or company
take hold the sooner prosperity will come
to the camp.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
Bony Ayers escorted Judge Griswold
from Eureka to spend the holidays, which
they are doing to the best of their ability.
The Judge is very entertaining when not
occupied with legal business.
Stock men are delighted at the continued
mild weather, and say, from all signs Ito
be relied on in the mountains), the worst
part of the winter is over for the stock.
A social dance at the White House is
among the probabilities for New Years
Eve.
The lakewood brothers came in from
Railroad District to spend the holidays.
Horsemen are doing considerable riding
among the hills in this section. The
ranchmen are on the alert, and are suspi-
cious from some cause. They simply say,
wait and see more developments"

Lamper Eels' Nests.

The lamper eel, says the Norwich
Bulletin, is considerable of an institu-
ton in the Shetucket river al this time
of year, and now that the water is low at
the Greenville dam the fishermen have
an unusually fine opportunity to observe
their habits. Yesterday, when the
water was coming over the dam, several
of these eels came over ON to the apron,
and one was observed to take hold of
plank with the subcircular suctorial
disk of its mouth, and work its wav
slowly back in the face of the sweeping
current until 1t regalned the pond. Be-
meath the dam these fish dart about in
the deepest water, and there have their
spawning grounds Their eggs are de-
posted in nests formed of stones, which
they build in a marvelously short space
of time Those who are familiar with
the habits of the fish need not be told
of its wonderful power to adhere to OBJ
iects to which it attaches itself as well
as to acquire sustenance by parasitically
attaching itself to fish, whose flesh they
consume by abrasion and suction. They
first gather together mound of small
stones, and then add larger ones until
the stones weigh several pounds apiece,
and until the pile gets from five to eight
feet in circumference and nearly three
feet in height These stones are covered
with slime as they lie upon the river bot
tom, but are thoroughly cleaned before
they are deposited upon the pile, and it
is averred by ancient mariners here that
these large, clean, stone heap nests are
the work of a single night.
