The Salt Lake Tribune OF the 10th has
tho following: The Utah& Nevada extension
to Eureka Is being pushed with all posi-
BILE vigor, but the work is greatly retarded
by the inability OF the company to get civil
engineers enough to run their lines. They
have a room full Of surveying instruments
in this city which they can find no one ca
pable OF using. The route chosen by the
company is that through the extensive
mining district Of Tintic, and a gang Of
men is now at work on the grading. 1t
was expected originally to complete it to
Eureka this Summer, but owing to the
cause mentioned it has been determined to
make the terminus for the present season
100 miles west OF Stockton and continue
the original design next season.
Another gang OF men is at work in Bea-
yer County, on what account is not known.
1t is reported and believed that they repre-
sent the Texas Pacific, which has been sus-
peeted Of having an eye on the Utah field
for some time past.
All these branches Of activity in railroad
building augur we'll for the future Of the
Territory, and especially for Salt Lake
City, and those who understand the situa-
ton thoroughly say nj city in the West
has as bright q future to look forward to as
this one. Let the boom go on.

PIoCHE ITEMS.
From the Record Of the 9th


The Fourth at Bristol passed of very
pleasantly, the people there amusing them
selves in various ways.
What ia the difference between q new
custom mill and a millionaire Ans
About three months--provided the chlo-
riders happen to strike it rich.
A letter from Ell Dorado Canyon gives
anything but a favorable account of the
affairs Of the Lincoln Company. 1t is
stated that the mill is not running, the
company has no ore, and that all their
checks have been protested.
There was a rumor in Phoebe several
weeks ago to the effect that the mail going
from Phoebe laid over in Eureka "a hours,
but upon investigation by the postal agent
such proves not to be the case. The stage
going north from Phoebe generally arrives
in Eureka about 2 o'clock in the morning,
and the mail is at once forwarded on the
train, which leaves at 5 A. NJ.
Indications all point to a resumption
of work in this district at an early day.
A mill site has been taken up for Mr..
Cardeza and sent here to be recorded.
There is now a strong effort being made
by q number Of parties interested in Tenn
Piute property to get a little capital in
that place; heretofore, however, they have
always endeavored to keep capital out,
throwing every obstacle in the way they
possibly could, but 10Y as the p~rospectors
in the district are about starved out, they
are willing to act halfway decent.

Feminine FraiIty.

The Reno Gazette says a very suspicious
circumstance was observed by several
prominent citizens recently. They were
going home quite late, when they saw two
confirmed opium smokers going towards
Chinatown. There was nothing strange
about this, but presently they saw two
women, apparently following the men.
Suspecting mischief, the citizens watched
and saw that the couple was made up Of a
young girl, respectable, and a notorious
woman of the town. 1t seemed plain then
that the masculine advance guard had a
female confederate, and were cropping in
the unsuspecting girl. The watchers re-
solved TO prevent this. They logged the
party for two hours, and although they
went towards the opium dens. and that
seemed their destination, nothing came Of
it, and after a time they separated and
went home. There are girls and young
women in Reno who, out Of curiosity or a
natural vicious tendency, have visited the
foul lens in the Chinese quarter. They
think they are not known, but their names
are on the lips of the class who frequent
these holes. and they are known to others.
They should be warned in time and retain
the remnant Of decency which is left to
them.

The Leadville Democrat says: The AUS
Of crime in Denver, is the subject which is
at notwithstanding Denver. One minis
ter takes the ground that it is to be
ascribed to gambling. A correspondent Of
the Tribune demurs, and very properly
ascribes the increase of crime to the lax ad.
ministration Of law and the consequent
ease with which criminals escape from the
consequences OF their violation Of law.
This is the truth, and we trust that able pa.
per will support the views Of its clear.
headed and discriminating correspondent.
Were the papers all to do this, the evil
would soon be remedied, and the courts
would be forced to a greater diligence in
the cause of Justice. Bad men are only re-
strained by their fear Of the consequences.
The question OF right and wrong is lost
sight OF by them.

Some Mention of M Richmond,
and Ruby.Dunderberg.
The London Mining Journal Of June "a
is at hand. 1t contains this reference to
Eureka mines
At the Board meeting on Thursday the
Directors declared an additional dividend
of II. per share, payable on Tuesday next.
There is, Of course, no news from the
mine, the furnaces being closed down.
RUBY-DUNDERBERG.
The telegram published this week is con-
sidered exceptionally good, and the same
may be said Of the general mining report,
where general progress is advised. The
half-yearly meeting is to be held on Tues
day, when no doubt some interesting in
formation will be afforded to the share
holders; meantime the following extract
from a letter from Eureka, dated May 20,
will be interesting The Dunderberg is
looking better now than at any time since
work was commenced. Ore is being ship
ped to the extent of 80 tons per day (210
tons per week to the furnace. This will
average $50 in gold and silver and "a per
cent lead. The Bullwhacker mine is also
looking much better, and is producing
about five tons per day (35 tons per week..

ALBION vs..
What Was Done Yesterday-A Jury
Dispensed with.

In accordance with previous announce
ment, the Court and attorneys met at 10
A. NJ. yesterday to arrange special findings
to be submitted to the jury in the Albion
Richmond case. After some discussion
pro and con as to what constituted the is
sues involved, Senator Stewart assumed
the position that there was really nothing
for a jury to pass upon, a great deal Of the
testimony being documentary. A great
many OF the facts also would no doubt be
admitted. When Senator Stewart had fin
ished, counsel for the Richmond stated
that they were willing to waive the jury
and proceed with the trial before the
Court.
Upon this showing the Court made an
order to the effect that a jury had been dis
pensed with by the consent OF both parties.
This course, it is believed, will materi-
ally shorten the trial. 1t ia difficult to
tell how many serious law points may
arise demanding discussion during the
progress Of the trial, but il there be no
unusual obstruction and delay in this re-
gard, the case ought to be closed the pres
ent week. The maps and all that will be
placed on exhibition this morning, and the
taking OF testimony proceeded with. The
Albion being the plaintiff. the ball will
probably open with q statement OF what it
is proposed to establish from some one Of
the attorneys on that side.

Working silver Ore with Lead.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
The magnificent machinery with which
we now equip our silver mines was not al
ways considered as essential. Perhaps the
Mexicans set US pretty good examples in
this respect. Their metallurgical appli-
ances were very simple, some OF it ex-
tremely rude. Probably the most print
tive apparatus employed in any country of
the extraction, by the dry way, of silver
from its ores, was the trufia, a Mexican
furnace, which was in principle merely a
scoriier, in which the cupellation Of the
remaining lead is subsequently affected.
The sulphides OF silver sometimes occur
in so large a proportion, with regard to
the gangue with which they are associated,
that if finely ground and thrown in a bath
OF metallic lead, kept at a proper tempera-
ture, the silver combines with the lead,
which. becoming partly oxidized, unites
with the s~ilicious and earthly impurities of
the Stag. which may be readily removed
from the surface of the metal before COM
mencing cupelIation.
This apparatus, which Is much used by
the native miners of Sombrerette, con-
sists of a cupel formed of q mixture of
a. obt Way tOhtoAhCd ~ q q bC Odlbo
earthen dish, enclosed between the walls
of sun-dried bricks, and covered by a dome
of somewhat refractory clay, in which nu-
merous holes are pierced.
The whole of the interior of this ar
rangementis filled with charcoal, on which
a blast is thrown by means of a nozzle of
baked clay, and although the whole of the
heat is applied from above the surface of
the lead. it quickly melts, and the scorif-
cation of the ore, thrown On the surface,
begins.
When the workman considers that the
bath of lead has, by the introduction of
successive additions of ore, become suffi-
charged with silver, he cleans off
the s~ilicious slags, and ommencest the Gu
pellation of the residual lead. For this
purpose he makes an opening at the level of
the metallic ball, for the escape of litharge,
and continues the operation, at the same
time gradually lowering the level Of exit
for litharge, until a button Of silver alone
on the bottom OF the cupel.

MIR. ~ANDERsON's BOOK.
1 Good stroke for the District.

- 9VOaA
. James E. Anderson, OF the Ruby Hill
Mining News, yesterday brought to town
three cases containing 10000 copies Of his
pamphlet devoted to the source Of Eu-
reka District. 1t is entitled Facts for
Capitalists" and the little work is really
what ii assumes to be. for q more concise
showing of what our district has done and
is capable Of doing has never been pre-
sented TO the public. 1t is not q long
winded essay, that nobody has time to
read in this busy age, but in lieu thereof
it is brief, attractive statement OF facts
which cannot fail to command attention.
The author asserts that Eureka has 1.-TWO
mines that alone have paid more in divi-
dends than all the mines OF Colorado
combined" We believe this position to
demonstrated by the record. The
work is issued under the auspices
Of the mining superintendent, which will
no doubt add to its weight abroad. The
matter is ~truthfully compiled and attrac-
lively presented. No man who picks up
the pamphlet will fail to read it through.
This is one good point secured. Cuts OF
the principal hosting and smelling works,
together with views Of the towns of Eu-
reka and Ruby Hill, and Mr.. Reads map
of the district adorn its pages. All in all
the SENTINEL is won to regard this pnbli-
cation as one Of the best strokes yet made
for our camp, and Mr.. Anderson is entitled
to great credit for his industry and enter
prise in getting it up. But the practical
application of his effort remains to be
made. To be of benefit to the district
these books must be circulated far and
wide. Several thousand copies have been
subscribed for by business and mining
men. Other thousands are in the posses
sion OF Mr.. Anderson, and for sale at ten
cents a copy in quantity. Let not these
books be allowed to rust on your shelves.
On the contrary, mail them to everybody
you know in every part Of the world. Ho-
tells and public libraries within the knowl-
edge Of the sender are very good places to
catch the eye of the multitude. Bankers,
public officers and other men OF position
should not be overlooked. In a word,
send them to everybody. A one cent stamp
will take two Of them to any part OF the
United States. Flood the mails with them
in all directions.

The other day, down at the graveyard,
while a corpse was being lowered to its last

man saw a seven-year-old boy behind a head

The man found behind the board a bunch

A contemporary speaks Of this play as
follows: ats success is simply marvellous.
Nothing equals it except the strong and
kindly impression it leaves on all sorts Of
communities. Crowds have sat in silent
rapture and admired this charming domes-

Is this play so wonderfully constructed,
so full OF skilful effects Is it so witty, so
Brilliant Not at all. 1t is simply so

Clipped from the Courier of Last
Saturday.


Superintendent Westfall informs us that
be was obliged to temporarily shut down
the Monitor Belmont mill because the old
Stedefeldt furnace did not roast the ores
satisfactorily. At times it did good work
on low-grade ore, but as soon as they began
mixing low grade with high grade ores the
roasting proved very unsatisfactory. We
understand that the Belmont Company
will either raise the Stedefeldt or put in a
White furnace.

In the vicinity Of Milford aud Beaver.
says the Salt Lake Tribune, the people are
full Of talk about the proposed southern
extension OF the Consolidated. Utah Con-
trail Railroad. According to the rumors
there. the plan is to extend the Utah road
to a connection with the Southern Pacific
at some point in Arizona nearest the Utah
line. At the same time there is talk OF q
branch line to Bullionville and Phoebe,
Nevada. Surveyors are reported as on the
ground ready to begin the line from Mil
ford. We presume the section OF the road
to Iron Springs will be the first run, and
that will be about all for this season.
