time.
Contradictory reports come from the
miners who went to Mexico under con.
tract with Deidesheimer. So far as
heard from the majority of the " boys
are dissatisfied
The Reveile says that when the Man
haitian Company paid off, the miners
and other employees contributed 1926 for
the relief of Mrs. Collins, the widow Of
brother miner, who died three or four
months ago.
The Gold Hill News has suspended
publication, owing it says, to the great
depression in business interests of the

prospects Of the near future. 1t says it
will resume again next July.

Virginia Enterprise: Dayton is about
the easiest.g going town in the State.
while they never have boom there,
they yet never have panic. While no
one is idle, no one is very busy. With
Dayton it is neither feast nor famine.
The prayer of the Daytonite would seem
to be: Remove far from me vanity and
lies; give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me.
Ward Reflex Wednesday evening last
at 5 o'clock report reached town that
Jacob Henry and VIM. Prescott, while
searching for charged hole in cut from
crosscut from southeast drift in the Mar
tin White, which failed to 60 off, had &C.
cidentally exploded it and that both men
had their eyes blown out. Fortunately
their injuries are not so bad as first re-
ported, the hope being entertained that
Prescott will recover the sight of one eye
and Henry possibly both.
Belmont Courier: The mining outlook
of Eastern Nye is tiptop. There is a
large quantity of good ore in sight in the
&c mine at Typo, and good lot of it
on the dumps, and the 20-stamp mill of
the Typo Consolidated Mining Company
will soon be started up on ores from this
mine. At Hot Creek the work of de.
velopment is being vigorously pushad
ahead in the Mountain View mines with
fattering results, and it is expected that
the Company's l5.stamp mill will be
completed in about month.
1t is understood that inside Of month
or two, says the Ruby Hill News, at
least $50 more miners will be hired in
this district. Our principal mines on the
Hill are not only in condition to warrant
the putting on of largely increased
force but Prospect Mountain, Secret
Canyon, Adams Hill and other adjacent
districts will call for large number Of
men as soon as Spring fairly opens. The
putting on of this number of miners
means the general employment of at
least 400 or 500 more in the district and
there seems every reason to believe that
we will have a lively Summer. We
doubt if the mining outlook has evel
been better, and business must necessarily
be rusticated to a marked degree before
long.
