1t cannot be said that Eureka is a good
point of departure still there are worse
places than Eureka to go away from. The
only way ever to like to get up at 1880 in
the morning is to become used to it. oh
for a change in the overland schedule that
will make the railroad exit from Eu-
| reka more endurablei Yet there is moth
ing SO bad but there may be something
worse. When we think of the days of
staging, that just dries up all complaint.
PALIsADE.
This is q cheerful place-an excellent
point Of departure, q delightful village to
skip out Of. 1t is immensely overgrown
with houses. 1t would be a good thing if
Stafford should turn out well in the Spring
and bring some business to this place and
| put some tenants into the vacant houses.
1t is agreeable to find the inhabitants of a
town n the houses equal in number.
The effect is melancholy, and you want to
leave unless the former are to the latter at
Aodbb tWO w Out. Dull, L hlibduO lie thSiNs
and its few patriotic denizens seem salts
fed to remain like the picturesque cliffs
above the to~wn--fxtures to the place. Mr..
Sothern, for instance, Wells. Fargo Co.'s
agent, is a model of contentment and hap
piness. He has a quiet, philosophical
turn Of mind that would make him happy
anywhere.
ON BOARD THE TRAIN.
With Palisade gliding to the rear Of you
the miniature world of the overland train
comes under observation. A very tall,
i%ron-gray, clerical man sits opposite me.
You can tell by his looks that he has a
competency Of the worlds goods, and that
he does not altogether eschew life's COM
forts still he has a set look on his face
which makes it evident to the close OBJ
server that he prefers a few dollars, saved
in expense to the luxury of a first-class
ride on the ears-a niger to p~atronize
him and to hit his clothes gingerly with
the tip of a wisp brush, you know, and
all that. / think he must be right in the
economy Of his living, because l have just
heard him exclaim to a soldier on his way
to Arizona to dodge the Indians: 81 can't
help it. Whenever / behold these noun
tains, my mind grasps fact and effect as
n idea. They did not come here natural.

AN ITEM.
1t was pleasant to meet Hon. A. J. Blair
in the cars. He is on his way to San Fran
cisco TO look after some mining affairs, and
in a few days be will return to Bristol by
way Of Salt Lake. He has sold one OF his
mines, the Tempest, to Messrs. Gilmer x
Salisbury for S25, 900 and a reserved inter-
est for which interest they have since the
sale offered him S25 900 more. Lucky
man He refused to take it. Messrs.
Gilmer & Salisbury have been offered $780,
900 for the property. The mine is situated
NIT Of the mountain and on the Bristol
side. 1t has a ledge 8 feet wide. 1t has
been prospected by a shaft 800 feet deep
and by several drifts, Of which one 80 feet
was run from the 100-foot level, and an
| other 80 feet from the 300-foot level. Mr..
Blair will purchase an outfit of machinery
for prospecting the mine, which he will
hurry up and try to get in before the roads
are closed by the
SMALLPOX.
I met Charley Sproule. editor OF the
Lander Free Press, at Battle Mountain. He
| tells me that there is a full blown case OF
smallpox at Kingston. I was glad to be
informed Of this, so that l could put Eu-
rekans ON their guard in this matter.
There is some direct communication be-.
tween Eureka and Kingston, and this
matter had better be looked after and
a quarantine ordered II necessary. The
patient named by Mr.. Sproule is the
Secretary OF the victorine Mining Com
pany, who went to Denver lately, and on
his return to Kingston broke out with the
smallpox. Those who could get ava
nave left the place. Messrs. Morey and
Morgan brother to the PATIENT are send
ing their families below. Before Morgan,
not the patient, was allowed to come into
Austin he was required to change his
clothing, and q fresh suit Of clothes was
sent out for him to make his appearance
in. So we are nearer the dreadful scourge
than we thought. The alarm that the
plague will become epidemic and not
slight Nevada in it's travels has proved
only tn0 wall foundad.
