THE CHINESE AMENDMENT.


Says the Rocky Mountain Review: Re-
ports which stsgger the senses descriptive
OF rich discoveries Of silver bearing lodes
in the vicinity of the Black Range, below
Socorro, New Mexico, continue to reach us.
The most recent discoveries of this charac-
ter are said to have been made some ten
miles from Aleman station, which is eighty
miles below Socorro, on the Atchison, To-
peka Il Santa Fe Railroad. A party of
seven prospectors made their way over the
Cibolla range to the eastern slope into a
steep gorge known as Cibolla canyon, and
in one afternoon discovered fifteen leads,
ranging from twelve to thirty feet in width
and from one-half mile to one and a half
miles long, with immense bodies Of min
eral denuded in their covering throughout
their entire length. The surface ore is
said to have yielded from So to so ounces
Of silver and 2S per cent Of lead. An en-
thusiastic correspondent says it was impos-
sible for him TO step on n Of these
exposed veins without stepping on min
eral, but perhaps his feet are large. The
locality is easy Of access, as it is connected
with Aleman by an almost level road, and
possesses unusual advantages in the way Of
timber and an abundance Of excellent
water.

A NEEDED
A seIEReguIafing safety Cage,

n SellsfkeS uhHh1uk oHsety NHkes
Says the Ruby Hill Mining News: "Some
time ago we noticed that A. W.. Castle and
G. U. Aiken Of Eureka had been granted a
patent on a safety cage. Since that time
we have seen the design, and now give a
description of it, believing it will interest
mining men.
Gone of the most novel features is util-
izing the weight of q descending cage as a
motive power and is arranged to connect
to any desired machine. 1t also regulates
speed Of descent of cages, thus avoiding
wear Of brakes; and no matter how many
cages are running the power derived from
their descent may all be concentrated on
one machine. Thus, with two or more
running there is almost a continual power
being transmitted. The device for clutch
ing and unclutching as the cage is hoisted
or lowered works automatically.
"The cage is provided with a brake. SO
that in case Of reel or brakes giving way
the men on the cage can regulate their own
descent. Any accident by overwinding is
entirely obviated, as the cage ascends to O
certain hight, the cable is detached from
it, the loose end is grasped and passed
safely on to the reel, the steam is at the
same instant shut off and the brakes ap-
piled, all being done automatically.
"The safety catches work on the guides
in much the same manner as the ones o
in use. but are much more simple Of con-
struction and can be seen st q glance If in
proper working order or not.
"The inventors aim has been to get up
a cage combining safety, simplicity and
economy together. They are now getting
it in proper shape to put on the market"

A Wooden Wedding and Pastoral
Reception.

Most of the Eureka readers Of the SEN
TTNKL will recollect Rev. @. H. Marshall,
who a little more than Ave years ago was
Rector of St. James Episcopal Church.
Just previous to his leaving here he mar
ried the beautiful and accomplished Miss
Watt, a sister Of Mrs. DIR. A. C. Bishop.
The happy couple are now residing in Den
yer, Colorado, and the following from the
Daily News Of that place will be read with
great interest by their numerous friends
and we'll wishers in Eureka Thursday
evening the delightful home Of Rev. c. Il.
Marshall was the scene Of a very pleasant
reception, the occasion being the fifth an
niversary Of their nuptials, and they cele-
brated the occasion by giving a reception
to their Pensioners and friends. Their
handsome rooms were radiant with light.
Rare exotics and sweet strains of music
added to the delight Of the assembled
guests. In the cosy dining-room refresh
ments were served, the table being very
handsomely decorated with fruits and
flowers. The host and hostess were unfail-
ing in their kind attention to every one,
and the guests all declared their wishes
ing lady might see many OF these happy
anniversaries. A great many appropriate
gifts were received, among which were
noticed q lovely waste paper basket, some
pretty specimens Of scroll work, paper cut
tiers, brackets, a cross made from Florida

are doing a good deal Of chipping in and it

that the shaft is more than fulfilling GER
tain expectations entertained of it, is pass,
ing through constantly improving vein
matter, and is in an interesting section of
country, little explored, but known to have
something in it. Besides, even il the shaft
strikes nothing, its arrival at the 2050 level
il at most a matter Of two assessments,
which is q very light matter II the shaft
shows or is likely to show anything unu-
sually interesting. The Alta is q good

deal more.

IN FROM THE FRONT.


The Arrival of Ex-Superfntendent
DOnnelly from an Examination
OF h Mines of Arizona.
The Daily Exchange says that ex-Super-
intendent II. Donnelly of the Eureka Con-,
and r. G.. Brown OF Oakland, arrived to-
day on the Arizona train, whittier they had
been on a tour Of examination. Both gen.
tlemen are enthusiastic over the prospects
Of the new country, and predict great
things for it in the near future. Mr.. Don
nelly's chief object in visiting the Terri
tory was, it is said, to examine the Silver
King mine in the interest of a foreign
syndicate, who are interested in the Eureka
Con-, and who control the Richmond Com
pany. The foreigners, it is said, are look
ing for mines in Arizona as good as those
two, and the Silver King and n or two
others in Tombstone were given Mr.. Dom
nelly to report upon. The latter is en-
thusiastic over the King particularly. He
says it is u~ndeniably a great mine-a veri-
table bonanza-and he believes it will
prove even richer as it is sunk upon.
From Superintendent Mason. who ac-
companied Mr.. Donnelly, we learn that
the new level, the $40 just opening, is look
ing better than did any Of those above it.
The drift is in 16 feet from the shaft, its
whole extent in fine ore, ore that will mill
throughout 500 a ton. Mr.. Mason be-
lieves from the pitch and character Of this
ore body that it will yield more than twice
as much as nave so far the slopes on the
1856 level above. As that yield was nearly
a million, it would seem that the new level
is regarded as a pretty healthy bonanza.
The new ore is Of the same character as
that found above, rich streaks Of polybisite
and native silver mixed with zinc, blend
and greenish ~porphyry. The streaks, how
ever, are wider and more compact. Mr..
Mason says he is in no special hurry about
stopping out from the new level or do more
in it than continue his crosscut, for he al
ready has 1000 IONS Of ore at the mill and
on the dumps, every ton Of which he says
will produce 500 at the lowest estimate.
The new roasters and other machinery
will be in full operation by March lat.
when he proposes to turn out at least
500, 900 q month for an indefinite period.
Meantime the shaft will go on down to see
what there is below. The bottom of the
shaft is now all in ore similar to that in
which the 510-foot crosscut was started.
Its depth is $40 feet.
