weather, and unless prospects are changed
the spring wheat crop will be safely har-
vested within two or three weeks. Oats will
not be as short as last year, the yield being
large and the safety of the crop practically
assured. The universal report respecting
corn Is that the acreage is largely increased.
The condition is excellent, and prospects for
a good crop as good as ever before. The
only exception is in the wet low lands, where
the corn has been nearly flooded out. 1t is,
however, true that the crop is not quite so
forward as in previous years, and some fears
of an early and destructive frost are enter
tanned; but on the whole the prospect for
the great grain growing belt in the North
west is very fsttering, and another fine crop
year will doubtless contribute magnificent
sum to the national exchequer, and cause a
continuance of easy times in the Northwest
ern States.

United States letters patent have been
recently issued for the following invention
through Dewey & Co.'s Scientific Press
Patent Agency, San Francisco:
reka, Nevada. Patented April 20, 1880.
No. 226, 653. The object of this invention
is to provide a device by means Of which
horses will be prevented from running
away, either when left standing or in mo-
ton. 1t consists Of a lever attached to the
bed or body Of the vehicle, and so con-
nected with the single-tree and the horses
bits. that when left standing, in case the
horses move ahead, their motion will ope-
rate the lever and draw their heads apart
or together, thus checking them. Then
when they back in obedience to the check
they receive, the pull will be relieved. In
driving, the ordinary lines or reiLs are
used, but in case of the horses attempting
to run, the driver can draw on the check
rein, which is used with the lever, and may
thus draw the horses heads to either side
and stop their onward progress, and this
without reference to the driving reins.
This device will effectually prevent horses
running away. 1t is the work of a mo-
ment to attach the prevention rein to the
lever when the driver wishes to leave the
horses, and the moment they begin to move
ahead enough TO tighten their traces, they
check themselves back by drawing on the
lever and line. There will be no tendency
to back too far, since as soon as their traces
are slack again, the strain on their mouths
is Immediately relieved.

THE SACRED CONCERT.
Last Nights Entertainment at the
Episcopal Church.

The audience at the Episcopal Church
last night was fair, but very appreciative.
We regret to say that any entertainment
given in this town, which possesses the
greatest claim on the public for the care
and culture displayed in it, is rarely patron
lied to any extent, and when such pains have
been taken to please the public as was
shown last evening, the people Of Eureka
should encourage the participants by q
larger attendance.
1t would be hardly fair among SO many
fine performers to make mention Of any
special one, but we cannot help expressing
the high opinion we have Of Miss L. Hardy
as a vocalist. In her solo, entitled "Come
unto Me-" she both surprised and delight
ed her hearers. Miss Hardy has been un-
der the tuition of Prof. Wedeles for some
time, and he should be highly pleased by
the progress shown in his pupil.
OF the other performers, they are all too
well known as good singers to be specially
spoken of, and when we mention the follow
ing names Mrs. Platter, Mrs. Rives and
Mrs. Whitesides, and Messrs. McGrath,
Mundy and Wedeles, the readers of this
paper will be satisfied that the concert was
a success. One feature of the concert was
rather a novelty: a duet on two organs, by
Messrs. McGrath and Wedeles. 1t is suffi-
cient to say that this portion of the enter
tainment was performed in magnificent
manner, as those who are acquainted with
the musical talents of these gentlemen will
readily believe. Taking it altogether it was
a very successful concert, and Mr.. Crawford
is to be congratulated upon the manner in
which the whole entertainment was given.

THE SILVER QUEEN MINE.
Report of MIR. r. l.. COnran on the
Same.

~SLvERADo, New, May 9Th, 1880.
mine, owned by the Jones brothers, may
be well known to most Of your readers, but
it is our intention, after giving the mine a
thorough examination, to show to the min
ing public the grand prize that exists in
the immediate vicinity of Eureka.
This mine is situated in White Pine
county, Silverado District, and adjacent to
the line Of Eureka county. This property
I examined, and at the time found it to be
a most desirable mine, from the very fact
that every indication of its formation gave
due evidence of its permanency, which re-
port / sent both East and West, accompa-
MED by diagrams of the work done on the
mine. The press Of the country having
failed to notice anything 80 insignificant as
a promising mine in the vicinity of Eureka,
/ have tumbled to the thought that we
have a press right here, and can mail one
or more thousand copies of your paper to
Eastern capitalists, so on this ground we
will describe the Silver Queen mine to
whom it may concern. 1t is one Of the
very best developed mines in White Pine
county for the time it has been worked,
and is being developed under the most
careful supervision of its owners, and has
produced during its existence SIS. 600, and
is still producing ore of a rich quality. Re-
Gently a change has taken place in the ore
body of the mine, that will astonish the
most skeptical prospectors and mining
men. The country rock, in and adjacent
to the mine, is principally blue lime rock,
interspersed throughout with quartz and
green stone, and many of the primitive
formations that constitute the mineral
bearing belts of this State. The mine from
the starting point gave good indications Of
both richness and permanency, and has
now turned to be a chloride mine, that will
enrich its owners beyond their fullest hope.
So much for perseverance in the lime for
nation of Nevada, SO contradictory to all
that has sbeen taught us by our German
cousins. But such is the case, and the
mine is open for inspection; all can see for
themselves. T. L. CoNRAN,
Mining Expert.

Leadville and the Gunnison.

A correspondent writing from Leadville
says the mining excitement in New York
and the East generally is unprecedented,
and though the little Pittsburg play-out
has somewhat checked the furore about the
carbonate camp, still the tide of prospect
ors, spectators and capitalists pours stead
lily into Colorado, seven or eight hundred
people arriving in Denver alone every day.
The Gunnison country is the region of
special interest just now, but he thinks
thousands are doomed to disappointment
in regard to it. Hordes Of ~greenhorns are
pouring out in that direction with scarcely
more than money enough to take them
there. The snow is in many places six,
eight and ten feet deep; provisions are al
ready at famine prices, and there is no
possibility Of the roads being in such con-
dition as to admit the taking in OF adequate
supplies before the middle of June.

A Republican View Of the late Eu.
reka Convention.

Mr.. James E. Anderson, of the Ruby
Hill Mining News, dishes up the late Re-
publican convention in this county, in the
following lively manner:
Before the late Republican County Con-
vention met, 1t was mot supposed II would
create q ripple Of excitement; tnati IL would
prove q routine affair, with no bearing on
future county or State conventions, where,
the boys assert, .sthe thing comes in"
The result proved q total and unexpected
surprise to MANY, and proved conclusively
that a thorough understanding existed be-
tween certain factions heretofore inimical
to each other, 1t showed that the Blaine
leaders contemplated q movement that
would scoop in not only the Austin Con-
v~ention, but embraces Sharon's and Dag
gets seats, and counts on possibilities
that may not be realized for two years to
come. Other results were accomplished,
among which was the sending OF Pete Can
avan to Austin-on q tie-ticket.
Judge W. w. Bishop and Hon. Thos.
Wren appeared as the active champions Of
Mr.. Blaine's cause, and the quid nuncs say
it is significant. There will be an effort
made in the Austin Convention to send the
delegates to Chicago without instructions,
and to select a number Of warm Grant
men. This would cool the Blaine goose,
and to defeat such a scheme is now en-
crossing the attention Of Blaine's friends,
and his fight in the Convention is to be
engineered by Bishop. Suppose the Judge
wins, as there is every reason to believe he
will, and secures q solid Blaine delegation
to Chicago, and Blaine is nominated and
elected? 1t is a well known fact that in
gratitude is not one Of his characteristics,
so Bishop would go into the Senatorial
fight next winter with the powerful pres
tige Of being the right bower in this State
Of an incoming administration.
Wren would stand in the same light in a
Congressional canvass, and should he not
get way with the nomination this fall, he
would do so two years hence, backed, as he
would be, by the power of the administra-
ton. To a man up a tree it looks as
though both Bishop and Wren possessed
longer heads, politically, than they have
been credited with. Should Grant walk of
with the baggage at Chicago, of course the
whole thing would be smashed, and the bo-
| nanZa crowd would rule the roost.

rhe situation at the Albion.

The News of yesterday has the following
regarding the situation at the Albion /;
'The connection between the Albion and
Richmond has proven Of vast benefit to
the former, in the matter Of ventilation.
A door has been placed where the connec-
ton has been made, but Mr.. Potts has laid
pipes that carry sufficient air into the 1903
foot winze to enable him to dispense with
the air-pump, and thus save fuel md water.
A contract has just been let to six men to
drift from the bottom of the l03-foot winze

THE SHOW.
Remarkable Performance of Miss
Baymer ON wheels.

The exhibition given by Miss Baymer at
Eureka Hall yesterday and last evening,
was well attended, and we are glad that the
people of Eureka showed their apprecia-
ton Of the lady's pluck and endurance. In
spite Of the misfortunes that attended her
debut in Eureka, yesterday she showed to
the most skeptical that she is a perfect mis-
tress OF the bicycle. When we say that
Eureka Hall, giving SO laps to the mile, is
the smallest room in which any bicyclist
ever attempted to make a record in regard
to speed, the remarkable time, in which
Miss Baymer covered 76 miles is something
to wonder at. Miss Baymer intends giving
several exhibitions in Eureka. The last
III miles yesterday we're ridden in very fast
time. Miss Baymer was opposed by M.
j. O'Brien, a local runne Of considerable
renown. Mr.. O'Brien was not in good
health, but he matched himself against
Miss Baymer to run 10 miles while she
rode her last IL miles, she having been in
the saddle 10 hours, and, notwithstanding
his lines he made the very good time of
l hour and l8 minutes, and was only beaten
s laps. We give below the record Of Miss
Baymer in her rs mile ride
The FIRST Is miles in 2 hours and so minutes.
" last 26 =" :" 2 a" 4 min. so seconds
Actual running time of 76 miles 7 hrs A. min.
of the track ................ 8 +" Is "
The above score is something remark
able, and it is the best time that has ever
been made by any bicyclist, male or female,
in a hall of this size. Mr.. O'Brien also
showed himself a runner Of great pluck,
and will certainly make his mark in this
line. Taking it altogether, Messrs. Bailey
and Startling have every reason 10 congrat-
ulate themselves that they brought Miss
Baymer to Eureka.

Theory of the Fourth Element OF
Space.

One of our reporters rushed into the
office at midnight, and we knew that m
thing had happened. He handed us the
above, and asked if we knew anything
about it. We told him, no, not anything
whatever. Thought he was a little off. and
advised him to go to his little bed. He
told us that he had attended the Mutual
improvement Society, and some fellow an
nounced that Major Walter s. Long would
on the 21st instant deliver a lecture on the
subject hereinbefore mentioned. Black
boards, chalk, figures, delineation, demon
stration and all such scientific appliances
will be called into requisition, and if there
is anything in the proposition that there is
a fourth element of space, we would advise
our readers to go and be convinced that
nimble fingers, tongue and chalk win.

Rad Accident.

Quite a serious accident happened yester-
day at the California mine, BY which Mr..
@. @. Fall had his leg badly broken. The
shaft in which Mr. Fall is at work is 1870
feet deep. The men were setting timbers
about thirty feet from the bottom; the
side OF the shaft began caving, and before
Mr.. Fall could swing himself out OF the
way, his leg was caught between the dirt
and timbers and the thigh bone broken
square off. His leg was set by DR.. Bishap,
and at the time of our going to press he
feels very comfortable. We hope Mr.. Fall
will be among us soon.
