In this report. Some time ago $40. 900 in

works. Mr.. Arents. the present manager
and the gentleman who s~uperintended the
construction OF the Mt. Cory teaching
works, is q metallurgist of rare scientific
requirements, and has had, also. a wide
experience in the practice of reducing ores.
Before moving in the matter under con-
siderstion he brought q large quantity of
the Mt. Cory ore over to Eureka and tested
1t thoroughly in the Geddes & Bertrand
works, in company. and with the assist
snce OF R. d. Clark, who is the most
thorough man in the art of teaching on
the Coast. The result of the test was en-
tirely satisfactory, and the Mt. Cory Com
pany acted on it. Further, Mr.. CLARK
says. the Mt. Cory ores. on account OF
carrying sulphur, can be reduced with
less wood than the Geddes ores. He says
if Their is any trouble 1t can be nothing
more than Q hitch Of som sort in the ma

Mineral Hill.

The principal mining property at Min
eral Hill, now, is that of the Christie Com.
pany, of which p. D. Barker is the man
ager and one-third proprietor. Their
mine shows well, and, when work is re-
sumed, will doubtless yield handsomely,
Besides, there is q large dump of tailings
on hand which have been tested and found
to be profitable for reduction. 1t was I'M
derstood not very long ago that teaching
works would be erected by the Christie for
the reduction of the tailings and ore for
the mine, the cost of which, it was calcu-
lated, would be fully met by the profit on
the tailings alone. Propositions were
made, also, 70 the company to purchase
the tailings dump. 1t was the impression
among those familiar with the situati on
that work wal to have been started up at
least two months ago. Mr.. Barker, who,
besides being part owner, has a bond Of the
Christie mines and mill until some time
in October next. has not been heard from
recently as to his plans in regard to the
property. As the lawyers would say,
everything is in statu quo.

not, let the competitors know that success
will be accorded honorable mention, and
not only the pupils will be exhilerated and

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Controller
Of Currency has declared q dividend in
favor Of the creditors Of the First National
Bank OF Nevada, ct Austin, New, Of
as 2-15 per cent, making in all $92,515.
The Reveille throws light on the other

ing "Reminiscences:
Old time Austin people will remember
the First National Bank Of Nevada, which
failed in Austin in the Spring OF 1868. AT
the time it collapsed, j. w. Harker, now
of San Francisco, was President, and @. f.
Horne, now of Eureka, was Cashier. The
main bank was in Austin, and there were
branches at Treasure Hill, Hamilton and
San Francisco. One day the whole con-
Germ collapsed. Gen. E. s. Davis, now Of
Oakland, was appointed Receiver, and he
appointed G.. s. Mccormick as deputy at
Treasure Hill and Hamilton. They pro-
ceeded to settle MP the affairs OF the bank.
For q long time its scrip was to be had for
12k cents IN the dollar, but finally 1t rose
to rs cents. Something like 30 per cent
has been paid to the creditors, aud the
general opinion was that the last payment
had been made. If you happen to have
any of the bank paper here is q chance to

George 8. Sawyer Of Phoebe has COM
menced a suit in the District Court at
that place against James Nesbitt, George
Nesbitt, r. H. Elan, Joseph Delmoie and
others, claiming that he is the owner OF
certain lands in Lincoln county which the
above named defendants unlawfully en-
tered upon on Dec. 8, 1883, and still I'M
lawfully withhold possession from the
plaintiff, and that they have damaged him
in all to the extent Of $45, 900, for
which he asks judgment and also for q
return OF the land to him, as well as an
injunction TO restrain the defendants from
committing further waste during the
tendency Of the action. The land in
controversy is not particularly valuable,
but there are several thousand tons OF
tailings deposited upon the land which
are valuable, and which are now being
worked by the defendants. There are a
number of nice legal propositions in
volved in the case and the result will be
watched with interest. Thompson Camp
bell and G.. s. Sawyer are attorneys for
the plaintiff and Baker d Wines for the
defendants. No injunction has been
granted restraining the defendants from
working the tailings, as the necessary
bond has not been fled.
