The first violinist of the S,u,,z
troupe lost his purse in Shoshone. A
clergyman found it, wrote the TIMES
to that effect, and then sent the monau
through the postoffice, where the lose,
recovered it. 'o'o'

widow and one daughter.
The change from 10 per cent. mar.
GIN to spot cash" has somewhat de.
moralized the stock market, but it will
doubtless soon recover. If the "in-
siders" were not secure as to the merits
OF their properties, they would not be
SO apt to demand cash for it.
VIM. H. Atkinson walked in from
the Gold Belt yesterday. The road
was wet and slushy, and he frequently
went down in water and snow up to
his knees. but he made the town in
about four hours-which was exceed.
ingly good time, under the circum-
stances.
The Durango group will pay off to-
morrow, and thus put some $4,000
or $4,000 in circulation. The Par.
ker, Western Reserve, Idahoan, and
other companies will do likewise
and $4,000 to $4,000 will thus find
its way to the pockets of the people of
Wood River.
A strike of rich ore is reported from
a crosscut at the bottom of the shaft
in the Camas No. 2. AS this strike is
at a depth of over 200 feet, it proves
The downward continuation of the
Gold Belt-something about which
mining men have never entertained
doubt The ore runs from $50 to
$3.50 per ton.
The San Francisco stock market
seems to be in that condition known
as "seesawing." That is, stocks 20 up
one day, or in one Board, only to be
knocked down the next. This is done
to discourage timid or shaky holders
at least that was the "why and where
fore" in times long gone, when there
used to be Comstock booms.
There is no objection to anybody
jumping the Chief of the Hill claim,
opposite HALEY, aud doing all the de-
velopment work that they wish upon
it. That is, the owners will raise no
objection to this unless ore should be
discovered, because, as the claim is
patented, they cannot be robbed of it
by all the Jumpers in the world.
IFS somewhat strange, but true,
that, as lead and silver fall in price,
speculative articles, such as petro-
leum, wheat, stock shares, etc., en-
nance; while the reverse is the case
when silver and lead enhance in value.
Are the leading moneyed men 'of the
country holding the strings upon
which we, puppets, are suspended?
The Stuttz Company is, from all
accounts, good one. Mr.. Stuttz is
said to own the Boston Theater, in
the city of baked pork and beans, and
he is travelling with his company for
pleasure, as much as anything else.
From the size of it, it is to be feared
that he will not derive much of any
thing else, besides pleasure, from his
visit here.
A gang is said to be organizing to
jump claims on the Gold Belt, on the
coming first of January. If single
claim is jumped that is not open to
re. location, it is to be hoped that the
prospectors there will make an exam
pie of the Jumpers. A sight of a
jumper or two dangling from the out
stretched branch of a tree, or from a
wayside post, would have a salutary
effect.
