CAYUGA.
Prospect of a Mill Mt Gerald and OF
Lively Times.

GERALD, New, Dec. 80, 1882.
Ed. SENTINEL: I have nothing OF in
terest to communicate as yet regarding the
mines here. But little work has been
done on any of them. A little surface
scratching has revealed the existence Of
deposits rich in silver, but no development
deeper than 100 perpendicular feet has
been made on any location. 1t is rumored
here that negotiations are pending with a
view to the immediate erection of a ten or
twenty-stamp mill at this point for the re-
duction of Onondaga, Zanoli and other
Stafford ores. I believe a twenty-stamp
mill could be kept running on pay ore
from the two former mines alone, with
their present developments, and would
doubtless prove a profitable investment.
should the erection of a mill be deter
mined upon and accomplished, you may
look for lively times once mora at Cayuga,
and not before. Until q mill is in opera
ton here the mine owners will be COM
PEELED to select the ores for shipment,
which is always a tedious and expensive
undertaking, and a particularly hazardous
one, as we'll. in this camp, owing to the
difficulty in determining the grade. I
shall go to Salt Lake some time next week
with a shipment Of As or SO tons Of ore
from the Onondaga and Zanoli mines. 7.

A Worthy Testimonial,

j.. N. Hill, appointed Under Sheriff by
Mr.. Sweeney, is recognized as the most
worthy and acceptable man to the people
that our Sheriff could have appointed. In
fact, Mr.. Sweeney, by this appointment,
has gone far toward confirming the i'm
preston that he wants the right men
about him in Office. Mr.. Hill has been for
years in the employ of the E. & P. Rail-
road. New Years night all the people Of
the road assembled to de him honor, a
special train being run from Pslisade to
bring them in to the co~ngratulatory re-
union. And when they came in they did
not come empty-handed. They brought
their worthy associate in business the fol-
towing substantial testimonial in the way
OF a gift. all of solid silver. A dozen
knives and forks, q dozen tablespoons and
a dozen teaspoons. The presentation was
made by A. E.. Cheney, Esq, in a,remark-
ably neat speech. After this there was a
dance and festivities that ended only when
Aurora was coming gloriously on tiptoe
over the eastern hills. Looks a good deal
as though the railroad boys think friend
Hill is liable to "go and do it," Hope so.

BRIGHT SIDE OF MINING.
The Dividends Paid by the Mines
of the United States in 1882.

There are two sides to most everything
under the sun. So there is a dark and
bright side to the mining industry. Re-
cent issues of the San Francisco Bulletin,
a very reliable commercial paper, have
shown up some Of the Improbable fea-
lures Of mining in the Pacific States and
Territories. 1t gave a list of 1856 mines in
Nevada, California, Utah, Idado, Alaska,
Arizona, Dakota, Lower California and
Mexico, that have largely depended on the
aid received from stockholders during the
year for their work and existence. These
mines called for 81, CSC, 900 in assessments
in the twelve months. This is the dark
side of mining. On the other hand, the
Bulletin shows the bright side, which is
deserving Of record. 1t publishes the fol-
lowing carefully prepared table CT divi-
dends paid during the year just closed:

The Phoebe Record says: In the Day
work Is being steadily pushed ahead, and a
full force is employed. The seO-foot level
has been reached, a station cut out and a
drift started in the direction of the ore
chamber, and work of sinking to the 900

been %overhauled and the little engine is

to use any windlasses in attaining this

Peter Gates is experimenting the
work of the mine of the Gunnison Min.
ing and Exchange Company of this city,
which is in Treasure Mountain, Gunni-
son County, Colorado. The great alti-
tude of the mine brings winter about il
very early. As early as the middle Of
September snowstorms commence.
Peter writes he left the cabin with his
report and vouchers ready for mailing
an overcoat belonging to one of the men,
and a gunny sack filed with clothing,
and all strapped together on his back,
all in "apple-pie" order-and then
~ fell over the cliff on my way down.

about one hundred and twenty feet. It
seems incredible that could have tum-
bled down three successive precipices

the place of this accident, Peters escape
is Of piece of luck that may be termed
miraculous. The cliff which Peter was
swept from has an almost perpendicular
height of thousand feet from the bot
tom of the precipice, andit was the great
masses Of snow which had accumulated
on its sides that broke Peters fall every
hundred feet, and then went on down
with him TO the next one. In January

avalanche in similar manner, and
dropped into the abyss thousand feet

INTO A NEW CAREER
The entrance of American methods of
transportation, bringing American cap
ital, energy and enthusiasm into the
ancient stupor of Mexican wealth, will
be certain to send that country forward
with an immense bound in new career.
The mere rise of the low level of the
Mexicsn prices to the higher American
averages, will be quickener of Mexican
vitalities to an extent difficult TO calcu-
late. We can only guess at what twill
be from our knowledge of the effects
that have followed in Europe and this
country and in Asia from the introduc-
tion of more active methods Of transpor.
tation and of trade with the stimulus of
higher prices on the spirits of the people.
