The London Times says: The year Of
1880 has become one Of solid business in
most directions and one OF foolish specu-
l%ations in very few, The beginning only
OF the speculative period has been
reached and it may be years before we
reach its height. From all appearances
both France and the United States are
far ahead Of US in this direction. On
them principally the duration Of the time
of quiet business activity would seem to
depend. The prodigious absorption of
capital in public works 0 going on in
France may alone lead to temporarily I'm.
pleasant results to spectators for a rise,
but the new year will be begun hopefully,
and such is the temper of the stock
markets that a still higher range of prices
need surprise nobody.

You've PEOPLE in love should be
warned by the fate of the couple in
Brooklyn-a boy of 10 and a girl Of less
than lS-who got married without con-
sent of parents. They were forgiven,
however, and all went well until the in
evitable nurse was needed by the welded
pair, Well, the upshot was jealousy on
the part of the wife, neglect of business
on the part of the husband, a grand ex-
plosion, a divorce on the ground OF the
Infancy" in law OF the parties; and
then the divorced wife took her infant
boy and went home to her mother, and
the husband that-was was left alone.
What became Of the nurse is not record
ed. The names of the parties are OF nc
consequence, and we record the facts
only to warn young people to wait until
they are OF legal age, or perhaps until
they CONS to years Of discretion, if they

PerIey's Bill! for Il Railroad from
Eureka 10 the Colorado River
Prominent Eureka Wen the
PrOjectOrS-Alsa. a Street Rail-
road Through Eureka.

kCpcSih4 " ~ NJ
CARSON, Jan. Ex-senator Perley to-day
introduced bill TO construct a railroad
from Eureka to the Colorado River. 1t
will pass through White Pine and Lincoln
counties. 1t provides for subsidies from
the counties interested as follows: Eureka,
500, 900; White Pine, $500, 900; Lincoln,
$500, 900. Each county to have the amount
of its subscription in fully paid up stock.
The bonds are to run twenty years. The
company is composed Of John E. Platter,
R. Rickard, NJ. D. Foley, Thomas Wren,
R. Sadler, NJ. NJ. Johnson, j. S. Whitton,
and other prominent citizens of Eureka.
1t is believed that the people of the coun-
ties through which the road will pass are
favorable to the undertaking. II so, the
measure being a purely local one, stands a
good show of passing the Legislature.
There is also another bill here to build a
street railroad through Main street, Eu-
reka, from the depot to the Richmond
works. The Eureka delegation has not in
dictated its position on this measure.

ICandelaria True Fissure.
Jack MoDougal, the popular stage driver
between here and Belleyille, received a let
ter a few days ago from j. C. Smith, a
friend of his, now at Tombstone. Mr..
Smith says he was much surprised to find
Tombstone such il large and handsome
city, There are nearly 5000 people there
and the climate is delightful. To use Mr..
Smiths " language. he says: Times
are good here and considerable work doing.
OF course there are plenty of idle men
here, the same as In all other mining
camps. The mines are the best I have ever
seen. The ore bodies are more than one
hundred feet wide, and the ore will go
from $40 to 800 per ton.
Charley Leach is foreman of the Grand
Central, The mine has several thousand
tons of ore on the dump, taken out of the
mine in sinking and running levels. No
stopping has been done yet. 4 thirty. stamp
mill is being built and will be running in
a few days. The ore is in such large bodies
that 1t requires but few miners to keep a
forty-stamp mill running. In this respect
II Is not like Columbus District, where it
takes ten men to keep one stamp going.
Everything is irst-class here. Every
thing comes in fresh every morning from
San Francisco and Los Angeles, and at
very fair prices. There is splendid water
here, and grass all over the country.
II would be better for Tombstone if more
OF Its mines were owned in San Francisco.
As it is most of its mines are owned in the
East, and they mine as ii they were min
ing for potatoes and afraid of getting out
OF the light Of the sun. There are not
many Nevada superintendents here or
matters would go different.
This is a good country TO prospect in,
and l wish l had come sooner. There is
no trouble in selling a fair prospect.
The railroad runs within twenty-five
miles Of here, and will build a side track
to this point TO haul the quartz to the
river, ten miles distant.
