Many people are leaving Eureka for
good. This is not an encouraging thing
ior the camp. Still 1t is a recognized fact
that nearly all branches Of business in Eu-
reka have been overdone. Those who are
left here will be all the better off for the de-
parture OF those whe are now heading for
other fields. 1t is noticeable that in the
exodus, fewer miners are found than men
OF other callings. This matter has regu-
lated itself in this respect very we'll. We
not only have the word Of those who have
travelled far and wide from here and have
returned gladly to the Base Range, that
this is the best field for miners and
prospectors to be found anywhere, but our
own observation confirms us in this
opinion. This district comprises q
vast mining region and numbers a
thousand and one mines in many of
which the enterprising and industri-
GUS prospector can get a lease or find a
pitch that will pay him wages. There
are many men in Eureka District that are
making fair wages in this way now,
while there are a score OF others whom
we might mention who are coming money
and rapidly getting their "pile." OF
course, all cant't strike it rich, and also
some must expect to sweat in barren
ground. But the opportunities for able
bodied men who are willing to work to
earn q living in the mines in the imme-
date neighborhood of Eureka are very
numerous; while there is q chance
for any man, who goes at it
intelligently and with q will, to make
a handsome profit out of his labor.
Eureka will be a mining camp Of more
or lesss importance long after all that
live here, now, have gone under
the sod or have gone up from a cremating
oven with q flavor Of incense to join the
clouds. No one can say but that Eureka
may boom again as never before within q
twelve-month. The Richmond and Eu-
reka Con. are not the only mines in the
district. These are only scratched on top
so far. When the spirit moves the powers
that control them to do something on Q
more comprehensive scale Of development,
it is not unlikely that deep mining will be
proved profitable on Ruby Hill and that
these two mines may show up continuous
bonanzss indefinitely towards the center
of the earth. But throw them out Of the
count, if you please. There are 200 mines
within a small circle, taking Eureka for
its center, in which at any time a bonanza
may be struck. Would it not be strange
that in all this mineralized country about
us only two mines should be reliable?
Hardly. 1t seems that men who have no
assurance OF doing better abroad had bet
ter consider the chances at home.

How Emma II Oppressed by Her

How Emma IL Oppressed by Her

New YORK, Dec. emma Nevada sang
at the Academy of Music in "Luoia," this
afternoon. Owing to the Indictment
weather the house was only partially filled.
but they made up in enthusiasm what they
lacked in numbers. In the third act, after
the California songstress had executed the
most difficult act of the entire opera, with
a flute accompaniment, reaching E natural
in clear bird-like tones, Nevada was re-
called three times, the audience cheering
and waving handkerchief. The Call cor
respondent saw a we'll known theatrical
manager, acquainted intimately with Ne
vada, who said: II regard Mapleson,s
conduct to Emma Nevada as simply bar
barous. 1t would seem as though he was
trying to crush her at the outset. Let
me tell you what ] know. This morning
Mapleson sent a letter to Nevada's agent,
saying she must sing at the matinee to-day
for nothing, owing to her non-appearance
in 'Rigoletto.' Nevads's agent indig-
nantly refused. whereupon Mapleson
refused to send him any tickets for the
matinee, also intimating that Nevada
would sing to an empty house. He fur
Their said that Nevada damaged the reputa-
ton of his opera company to the extent Of
5000 by her inferior singing. This in the
face Of the New York press and public.
Mapleson has not consulted Nevada upon
the choice of operas in New York. He
has bitterly attacked her in the local
operas as a young prima donna who has
not yet learned the ropes, and the general
impression among well-informed profess
SIGNALS is that Patti is at the bottom Of the
whole business. Mapleson would rather
lose Nevada than Patti, and, if he does not
change his course shortly, some enterpris-
ing New York manager will relieve him Of
the best light American soprano ever
heard in this CITY,"

A small draft was made in the Monitor

be looked for when the water freezes up in
Steptoe Greek, and the mill stops in con-
sequence.
Captain Frank Drake, manager Of the
Eberhardt, has been making a thorough
examination of the Monitor mine for sew
eral days past. What his opinion is, no
one knows at present.
That is a promising body of ore struck
in the Monitor mine, in the drift on the
north side of the ravine. 1t is good mill
ing ore from roof to floor, and the best
ever struck On that side of the ravine.

He had been at work for Mr.. John

had been able to be about most of the

before medical aid could be secured he
was dead. He leaves u wife and three
small children to mourn Il kind husband
and loving father. Mr.. Jones was IS

Wales. He came to this country twelve
years ago, living six years in Vermont,
and six years ago in this Territory. He
was for a time in the employ of Judge
Carey.

CROOK COUNTY.
A Movement to Have It Organized
At Once.
A Petition to That Effect Reaches
The Governor.

When Judge Bergman returned to
Cheyenne, on Monday, he found a very
large document awaiting his arrival On
inspecting the bundle yesterday he found
it to be a big petition, nearly seven feet
in length, which contained not only the
names of more than 900 petitioners but
also the records and proceedings of Il
meeting of the citizens of Crook County,
held at Sun Dance. July pc, at which
time and place it was unanimously re-
solved to proceed to the organization of
Crook County at once.
At this meeting the petitions which
had been circulated were all brought for
ward and consolidated into one.
Mr.. j. p. RACER was chairman of the
meeting and Mr.. W. F. Draper secretary.
Considerable discussion it appears ensued
in regard to the propriety Of taking action
at that time in regard to the organization
of the county, but it was finally unani-
mously decided to proceed to the designa-
ton of three men to be appointed by the
Governor rs the first Board of County
Commissioners of the new county.
Messrs. W. f. Draper, J. S. Harper
and w. H. Harlon were her indicated.
The petition proceeds to recite that the
best interests of the people of that section
Of country require the immediate organiza-
ton Of Crook County; that law and order
would he better preserved if the people
were granted a county organization and
concludes by praying that Governor Hale
will proceed to investigate the matter and
appoint the persons designated as the
first Board of County Commissioners.
The meeting hen voted unanimously
that the petition with the names attached
be forwarded to Hon. /. Bergman, and
that he be requested on behalf of the
citizens Of Crook county to present the
same to Governor Hale.
After the petition had been examined
by Judge Bergman, he presented the doc
ument to Governor Hale, who stated that
he would give the matter his careful con-
sideration and perhapf would be able to
decide what he would do in the matter to-
1or-
