many Of them will tell you the old
town Is going to boom, and gather
back to its hospita ble roofs all tha

yer Drake, At the cornpany's Office,
was the only man We met in the place.
From thence we went up To tho tunnel,
where we found Capt. Drake and his
machinist, j. l.. Robertson, very busy
repairing some machinery that had
gotten out of order. The Captain was
putting in hard licks. To our inquiry
about the prospects in the tunnel, the
Captain smiled and said they had

pies of ore he has been eneountering
in small punches Tor sometime. 1t
looked fair, a little base and altogether
different from that found IN the upper
working. The Captain told us the
situation in the tunnel vas such as to
encourage him aud his company to
go on prospecting, but nothing more.
MINOR NOTES.
At the Court House in Hamilton we
found the peoples servants all attend

contented and happy, with an occa-

of paying their salaries. They have

ON this score.
Mrs. Fuller has opened tina public
school with about thirty pupils. who

in their studies. Eberhardt sends
several pupils up there as they have
no school Of their own.
Politics seem 10 be rather slow ut
the county seat. We met but n

candid acknowledgement that he
wanted to serve s'ths dear people"
for the ensuing official term, but there
are others who will grow bold after .

of the several parties. We saw no
mupwumps i'm Hamilton. Their
