COMO, New, June 9TH sss.

ing for some time TO see IL SOM, one
besides myself would not sendvou
the news from this mountain fastnss,
but as no one has done so will wrh
again so as to keep your readers post
ed on the daily events that are now
transpiring in this camp. We are
now enjoying some beautiful wealth
er, it being neither too cold nor too
warm, the mercury standi ng at about
eighty degrees in the shade. In ad-
dition to this the air is redolent with
the odors of fragrant flowers. We
have bad no snow of any conse.
queGce here this last Winter, and
taking everything into consideration
one can easily see that Comedies are
blessed with salubrious climate.
THE COMO EUREKA.
The latest discovery in the Como
Eureka has turned out TO be the most
important strike that has yet been
made in this promising mine. The
ledge is from four to SIX feet wide
I and grows wider as they DRIFT north
from the main shaft. This new de
velopment is another guarantee thai
there are large and rich bodies of ore
| lying hid in our auriferous and ar
gentiferous hills, and that the pre-
diction which have heretofore made
In the columns of the TINES, to the
effect that Como would some day
be one OF the largest camps on the
coast, will yet be verified.
THE MOUNT COMO
still remains in statu quo, uhst is
the way the lawyer would put il
guess) but Mr.. Barns, the mining
expert who came here few weeks
ago to examine the mine, is expected
back every day to take the water out
of said incline is found to be all right
you will soon hear of lively times in
the vicinity of the Mount Como.
OUR CITY HOTEL
l presume thai nearly every one
in this part If the country has heard
, something of Couo's leading hotel
do not think, however, that any
one has ever heard of the institution
on account of any great satisfaction
IL has given to epicures, but chiefly
because Of the enviabie reputation 1t
has gained on account OF its ever
lasting hostility 10 the Monaghan
race Well, what want To say Is
that there was grand ball gwen at
this hotel OF Saturday night last, and
your reacers may not believe II, but
ii is nevertheless true. that me great

lanterns we're strung across the diff
ferent streets leading to the hotel,
: while the building itself was fairly
enveloped in q lhicket of flags, ferns,
flowers and festoons of every kind
and color. The day of the evening
on which the brilliant event took
place the denlzens of the hotel were
4 assidious in their attention TO the
q work of decoration, and ere the time
9 arrived for the evening twilight to

sound of the callers voice rang out
like bugle blast on the evening
air while the noise and clatter made
