Brighter Skies Ahead.

With all the uncertainty CT the pres
ent appearance of mining and business
matters in this vicinity, il is good
sized erumb of comfort that is left.
The closing down of the Northern
Belle mine,a the discharge of twenty
five men from the Mount Diablo and
the eventual shutting down of the
mills ut Bclloville, for want of ore to
crush, would tend to persuade one not
fully in possession of all matters con-
neeted with the ease that the bottom
had dropped out of Columbus district,
hut it has not. The Mount Dmblo il
still running, though the force is
reduced, the Columbus Consolidated
has not pulled its fires, nor does it
mean to do so for some time to come,
and the recent operations in the lower
levels of this mine are of character
to make the outlook indicate anything
but a collapse. 1t will not be long
before the Columbus Consolidated will
be heard from in very agreeable tone
to its stockholders. But better still,
and Notwithstanding it is long, and,
the present idle state of the Holmes
anu NorticlH Delic properties VIII nOt
continue n day longer than is actually
necessary. Reliable information has
been received from the management
of the Holmes company to the effect
that operations will be resumed at an
early day and on larger scale than
ever before. This does not help the
depression in business matters now
existing, and will not until something
of II character toward active work is
fully inaugurated. Yet there is GER
tainly a much better feeling apparent
than that which was felt last Sunday
morning, when all but ten men were
discharged from the Belle, and in the
evening OF that day, when another
astonisher came in the shape of twenty
five men being discharged from the
Diablo. All that can be done now, tho
above conceded Is TO econpmiZc, put
on bold manner and smiling face
and await the arrival of the brighter
days which are surely in store for
everybody.-Ifue FisSure.

A Meioaious Jail THE Ceil-ringers
Concert.

When the prisoners were brought
down from Aurora and placed in the
new Jail, they naturally made careful
inspection of the premises. The
walls were tapped and the floor was
critically examined to learn if they
were sound. As a last measure of pre-
caution against outside Migrants
breaking in on them at night, the tanks
were thoroughly overlooked. During
the sounding of these tanks, which
was done for the purpose of detecting
any omission of construction or flaws
in the material, an important discovery
was made. One of the prisoners has a
good ear for music, and he observed
that the tanks with the doors open, if
struck by any hard substance, sounded
the lower six notes of the scale.
Shutting door raised the tone one
half, or sharped it, and the performer,
by leaning against one corner could
raise the pitch of the cell three notes.
A company of cell-ringers was i'm
mediately organized, and practice has
begun on several simple airs that do
not reduire an extensive register. The
band, under the instructions of the
leader, can already give an limitation
of the bugle breakfast call very credit
ably, and will soon give concert, the
programme to include number of
simple popular airs, such as days of
Absence ~" We Wont Go Home Till
Morning." and others which do not
require more than one octave. A very
little alteration in the length of the
stovepipe will enable them to add
several notes to the upper register, and
it is thought that very successful and
pecuniarily satisfactory concert can be
given. The proceeds are to be donated
to the jail-deliyery fund, and as strill-
ing with the naked hand ON the iron
walls of the cells is somewhat painful
when continued through long air in
quick time, it is thought that, if proper
representations are made, the County
Commissioners might be induced to
order the purchase of drumsticks for
the performers.

Candida rim Notes.

The following items are from the
True Fissare of last Saturday:
The Mount Diablo Company began
increasing its force and resumed ship.
ping ore this morning. The total
bullion shipments for November were
$50, 500 a. A shipment amounting
to $500 ca was made on the Sd inst.
The novelty Of a sleigh ride was
enjoyed by II party of ladies and gen.
tlemen on Wednesday afternoon.
The trade of the water c0mIan Is
on the wane for a time, and viii re-
main so rs long rs there is snow To melt,
An attempt at coasting was made on
Wednesday afternoon. IL proved a
failure, caused by a scarcity of sleds.
This is not II snow country.
Lots of the boys who were employed
in the Belle and Mount Diablo still
remain here awaiting the further
events to result from the big mining
suit.
Candelaria is anything other than a
played out camp, judging from the
activity on its streets every evening.
The boys whoop up matters nearly all
night.
A rich strike has beer made in the
Great Western mine, in Garfield dis
trict. The ore body is richer and
larger in extent than any yet found in
this wonderful mine.
Numbers of the discharged miners
from the Northern Belle and Mount
| Diablo mines have left town, but they
will nearly all come back when hey
hear of the good times in store for the
camp.
The Northern Belle Company paid
off its men with Mount Diablo checks
on Sunday. This was caused by the
refusal of the Esmeralda County Bank
to accept Belle checks other than for
collection, and was an exhibition Of
of magnanimity on the part OF the
Belle people.
Rev /. p. Hale is sanguine ever the
the prospects of Aurora. He says there
are no idle men, and everything iadi-
Gates prosperity. The Silver Hill
mill is running profitably, and there
is good reason to confidently hope for
revival of that splendid old camp,
which has been one of the richest on
the Coast, and which is not worked
out yet by large majority.

They All Want 1t.

No sooner did Carson and Reno
learn that there was u Touring mill
needed in Mason Valley than SQUAD
BILE began, to see where the wheat
should be shipped. Reno claims to
have firstclass mill already built in
which wheat can be made into Hour
equal to California brands. Carson,
although she has no mill that is fit for
anything, is ready to bid for the wheat,
and advocates the building of first
class mil. Now, Dayton does not
want Il mill; but what she would like
to see is firstclass mill in the Valley
right at home in the wheat growing
country. The idea is not to ship the
wheat all over the country to find II
market for it, but 10 manufacture the
flour where the wheat is raised and
where there is good market. 1t
would hardly be advisable for Carson
to put up mill just yet TO work Mason
Valley wheat, for in all probability
they will have II mill in the Valley
soon.-Ly0n County Times.

independent Columbus.

Columbus society follows none of
the old.time customs when i; is more
convenient to adopt new style. Fash
ion has no letters for the gentlemen,
and Mrs. Grundy's talk excites no terror
in the female heart. Whatever is best
and most convenient is proper, and
whatever is is style. Since buggies have
become scarce, owing to the excessive
demand for all vehicles capable of
hauling boraX, it would be hard for the
young fellows to take their girls out
riding If it were not for the independ.
ence of a spirited society, capable of
rising superior to circumstances AS
the country is level and the ground
hard, it was soon aseertained that Il
wheel5arrow was an excellent subst-
tute for the larger conveyance, and
last week young man moving in the
first circles set the example, by taking
his young lady out riding in the one
wheeled chaisc. Example is contag.
ious, and it will not be long before the
streets of Columbus will be filled, on
pleasant evenings, by happy couples,
the gentlemen working in the shafts
as contentedly as well-traned railroad
graders, and chatting pleasantly with
their sweethcarts, whom they roll
along in front of them.

Neighborly NeighbOrs.

Houses are still scarce in Hawthorne,
and occasionally neighbors borrow
from each other when in need and
return the building after having used
it. Last Thursday the Courthouse
contractors, having no further use for
the house which they had borrowed
from Knapp g. Laws to use as an office,
hauled it home and set it up on the lot
where it belonged. 1t is neighborly
kindnesses of this sort which make liv-
ing in new country agreeable, and
the accommodating spirit should be
fostered, as it serves to strengthen the
pleasant relations existing between
members of new communities. With
level ground, such as our town site, no
one need fear inviting any number of
friends to visit on account of lack Of
house room, as he can run across to a
neighbor who has extra house.room,
borrow the house for a few days, have
it hauled to his lot, and, after the visit
ors leave, return to the owner in good
order, with many thanks and offers of
similar accommodation when needed.
Natural surroundings have a remarka.
bic influence on the customs of people,
as much in civilized as uncivilized
communities, and the deserts of Ne
vada have developed, in this instance,
refinement of friendly Intercourse
unknown to older and less favorably
located society.

The Humboldt West.

A. G. Mckenzie, last week, in com.
pany with Ex-Governor Blasdell, Wis
tied the Humboldt West mine, at
Aurora. He is favorably impressed
with the prospects of the property.
AS at present developed, there is a
large quantity of ore of fair grade
which, in the opinion of Mr.. Mckenzie,
can be worked probably, with careful
and economical management. The
odjoiniug mines showing very fine
rock, justify the expectation that the
ore in the Humboldt West will i'm.
prove in quality with depth and that
the Humboldt West will become a
very valuable property. 1t is the
intention of the owners to resume sink
ing, and the probabilities are that the
results will be very satisfactory. Mr.
Mckenzie also visited other mines al
Aurora, and expresses the opinion that
as mining camp, the place, instead
Of being worked out, is yet but in it.
