Gold Discoveries.

A dispatch from Troy, New York, on the
I'd, has the following: PROJECTORS for
gold in Hamilton County, situated in the
Adirondack region, have penetrated an
ancient river bed, which is said has gold
of a rich kind. Benson Valley is very
large and covers a fine area of gold bearing
gravel Of a bright, rich color. 1t is be-
lieved by many to be the basin Of an
ancient lake. The discovery a few days
ago Of an ancient river bed at the depth
of so feet locates gold as native to that
section. Silver and gold-bearing quartz
has been found in various sections of
Warren as we'll as Hamilton County. Also
valuable deposits of mica and galena. 1t
is confidently expected that horn silver
will yet be found. One company is in act
i've preparation night and day. The com
pany has two shafts close to the mill, and
commenced working from the surface by
running an incline drift. The gravel is
drawn from this on an incline track to the
mill in cars opening from the bottom.
After which it is passed through a screen,
under a jet OF water to a breaker, thence
into a pulverizer, passing through which,
in half an inch of water, it ia reduced to a
fine mash. The mill works 60 tons per
day. About fourteen companies have
been incorporated already; others are
forming. The past week has been one of
excitement. Hundreds of people are
daily visiting the mill at Benson Centre.

At the regular monthly meeting Of the
Hooks & Knicks Fire Company, held last
evening, the following resolutions were
adopted as the unanimous sense of the
meeting: :.
Resolved, That this company emphat-
ically protests against the County of Eu-
reka holding a policy of insurance upon
the property of this company, and we
hereby express the wish that said policy
be Cancelled and the protection and insur-
ance of our property be left to ourselves.
We warn the County Commissioners that
the County of Eureka does not own an
inch Of our lot or hose house, and that in
case of the destruction by fire of the lat
ter the county will receive no aid from us
in the collection of the insurance. We
assert that we are the oldest of all the
fire companies in Eureka; that we &C.
quired the lot upon which our house is
situated by purchase long before many
Of our present county wise-acres came to
this town, and that our present house was
built by joint contribution of the citizens
Of the county and ourselves, and is ours,
legally and actually, and we defy any in
reference with our possession thereof.
Resolved, That in the opinion OF this
company the conduct Of al officer of the
company, acting outside of the sphere OF
his legitimate duties, in falsely asserting
that the title to the property Of this COM
pany was in the County Of Eureka and not
in the company. in the presence Of the
Board OF County Commissioners, by which
assertion discredit was thrown upon this
company, is worthy Of our unanimous
oensure.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolu.
lions be published in the Eureka Daily
SENTINEL and Evening Leader.

Nevada & Oregon Railroad Company:
President Balch Of the N. q. o. r. r.
filed the annual report of the corporation
with the Secretary of State, as required by
law. 1t is one of the most outrageous docu-
ments ever published, and it seems that the
stockholders ought to go into mourning
on account OF the pistol wounds he re-
ceived failing to take him to the happy
land. Following are some extracts from
the marvellous production:
Sowing to the chronic impecuniosity of
the company it had not sufficient funds to
keep account books as required by law.
No dividends have been declared by the
accursed corporation, and it Is safe to say
that none ever will be.
tThe corporation owns no engines, cars,
shops or horses, all cars and locomotives
being owned by private parties.
1.-THE net profits OF this road have been
nothing, as the corporation was conceived
in iniauity and born in fraud.

aster has overtaken all persons who have
been connected with it in any capacity.

trance into Matt Kyle's chicken coop, To-
Gated some distance in the rear Of his resi-
dence on Mob Hill, and carried away
about a dozen of the finest chickens in the
hennery. Among the collection was a
very fine Shanghai rooster, who was in the
labit OF saluting the rosy god Of morn
IN clarion tones. His ~reveille was looked
forward to by the whole neighborhood.
Inc matin crow will be heard no more.
he Is also among the missing. Ere this
perhaps his big shanks have furnished
PROM Tor the thieves outlets. Or, maybe,
he mas been transformed into o roasted
ornament for the great feast now being
celebrated in Chinatown. His absence
creates a void in the chicken family that
cannot well be filled. A few Of the feath.
cred tribe were left in the coop. But they
are down-hearted, and the ex-Sheriff
wants the thieves to return and finish the
!op' and take the coop also. They need
NOV come under cover Of night. They are
welcome to the rest in broad daylight.

A Soon to All.

The ice continues fine at the Rink, n
there is no let UP to the frosty pastime.
The exercise afforded to both sexes during
the cold spells is exhilarating and bracing.
To the ladies it is a great boon, for even
during the Summer months the facilities
here are limited for wholesome exertion.
Everybody needs ONE active physical
work, to loosen the joints and create a
healthy, vigorous action of the lungs.
Every woman who has skated at the iii
is in one way or another benefited by it.
There may be some, who, through awk-
wardness or ambition to excel, nave re-
ceived bruises, but few such cases have
come to our notice. In the main we be-
lieve the Rink to have been a great benefit,
and still continues to produce beneficial
results to the young and old. Who, with
any powers Of observation, has not OBJ
served with pleasure the graceful move
ments Of the ladies' and the expert gyra-
tons OF the sterner portion of the human
family? 1t may grow monotonous to the
uninitiated spectator after a while, but to
the skater there is always another figure
to cut. Weak ankles and limbs are built
up and strengthened with muscle, endur-
ance is prolonged, and the stomach is
toned up to a keen appreciation of q good

thousands, by driving them into a corral.
The farmers 20 out and surround a section
OF territory and close in upon them by
forming a circle, and by this means sue
coed in getting q corral full by a single
effort. In fact, he claims that ducks, rab-
bits and other game are SO plentiful that it
has become a nuisance, and he protests, in
the interests of his constituents, against
any restrictions being put on the catching
of game"
