Christmas came and passed quietly.
No particular Observance of the day but
individual celebrations were numerous.
At the Catholic Church the young ladies
of the Sunday School provided tree on
Christmas Eve for the children, each Of
whom were remembered with a present.
One or two private trees were pre-
pared also around town, and last evening
Miss May Earle, of the kindergarten
school, gave the little ones under her
care, tree also, at the Library Hall,
where they went through some Of their
exercises and songs to the great delight
of their parents and friends who were in
attendance, and who each received some
article Of fancy work which the children
themselves had made.

The foregoing constitute the principal
mines owned by the Phoebe Con. Com
pany and the properties up which
work to any great extent is carried on.
The Co. however in each of the districts
named own other claims some Of which
are held equally valuable with those
mentioned. In addition to these mines
however, there are scores Of other good
mines and prospects all within the radi.
us mentioned Some have been heavy
ore producers in the past and will be
again when properly handled, others are
full of promise and it will require little
encouragement to set their owners at
work on them.
The mineral section Of country men.
toned above does not constitute by any
means all the territory We have to
depend upon, for to the north, west and
south Of us lie old established districts in
some Of which extensive work has been
done and which ctntain mines truly
valuable, but whose wealth cannot be
made available lying as they do SO far
from almost every convenience regarded
as necessary to insure success in the
average mining enterprise. The COM
pletion Of the railroad however to its
present surveyed terminus will remove
the chief detriment, and the result will
be that one year thereafter will find the
northern and western portions Of Lincoln
county possessed of more life and activ-
ity than they have known since 1875.
Mining operations here waned about that
time, not so much from the exhaustion Of
ore bodies as from decline in the price of
silver which made it Improbable in
many cases to operate under the heavy
expenses necessary. Numbers of these
properties, patented, now lie idle, but
their wealth and the great mineral re-
sources of this section are generally adj
mitted and wondered at by every mining
expert almost who has taken the trouble
to examine them.
The ores of Ely. Highland and Jack
Rabbit districts, mentioned above, differ
so essentially in character as to contain
all that is desirable from q smelling
standpoint and large reduction plant
here is certainty in the near future, 10

The drizzly meanness of last Friday
disappeared in short order, right on the
heels too of the RECORDS announce
ment that heavy general storm was
upon ne. Despite the utmost care our
weather representations prove false in
two instances in every three. The
weather for the past week has been
simply grand, hardly necessary to keep
a fire during portions of the day, and
now, in the hope of continuing it indefi-
nitely, we try orr hand once more and
predict that the heaviest storm of the
season is brewing and will break upon
us within "a hours.

slid Away.

Last Tuesday night the eastern por-
ton of the Stag dump at the furnace slid
nearly 100 feet down the hill spelling
the dump room in front Of the furnace
and completely blocking the road below.
Men have since been at work trying to
open up road around the slide, but
were obliged to give up the undertaking,
the mass above them continuing to creep
downward.
Like the HUM K Hunt and the Yuba
dumps on the same hill above, i'll will
continue to slide until it covers three
times its present area.

Furnace Gas.

When the blast was turned on at the
furnace yesterday evening several Of the
workmen were knocked out by escaping
gas. Superintendent Werner twice was
affected by it and it was thought for
time that the effects would prove fatal
but he rallied and last evening had
almost recovered. Furnaceman J. c.
Kelly also was knocked out and obliged
to lay oil in consequence.

rms OFFICIAL COUNT.

Carson Appeal; Tho Canvassing Board
Tuesday figured up the returns and deci-
ded the Congressman and State officers
elected by the following majorities:
Bartine s74, Colcord $40, Poujade Si4,
Grey 5S5, Horton S62, Egan 72S, Torrey-
son l,9ss. Jones !2.l44, Eckley $50.
Ring 5,02S, ]osephs SAG, Bigelow 1870.
Judge Rising received the highest vote
of. thee District Judges, 1889, followed
by Talbot, Fitzgerald and Cheney, the
latter beating Wells 439.
The returns on the Reclamation Com
missioners are very badly mixed, Car
penter, for the unexpired term, was fire.
quently voted for as short-term Com.
missioner, and Parke, who was running
on the short term, was voted for in sew
eral counties for the unexpired term.
The Constitutional Convention vote
was carried by 1876, but some OF the tick
cts read: For revising the Constitution,
For new Constitution and For Con-
stitutional Convention.
Many of these returns were not certi.
fed to, and the JudgesIare still deliber-
ating on what to do with them. No
votes were returned from Humboldt
county for Blakeslee, and Lincoln coun-
ty, whose tickets were printed in San
Francisco, did not have any reference to
the. Constitutional Convention printed on
them, and consequently not vote was
cast there either way on that proposition.
CARSON, New, Dec. 1.-THE Judges
of the Supreme Court as Board of Can.
vassers to-day filed with the Secre-
tary Of State an opinion declining to can
vass the returns Of the late general cleo
ton so far as the same relate to the vote
on the question of holdinsa Constitu.
tional Convention They hold that their
power as a Board of C,nvassers is de.
fined by the Constitution, and the
statute wherein authority is given is to
''open and canvass election returns fol
member of Congress, Governor and
other State officers" This authority
cannot be extendee by implication so al
to embrace election returns for other of
fcers or questions.
They gave as further reason tina
some returns upon their face are uncer
tain and defective, and others are no
authenticated, SO far as they relate to al
abstract of the vote for and against
Constitutional Convention. All tn
Judges concur in the opinion.

Seattle has upwards Of 81. 90 people.
The enumeration has been made under
the personal direction Of Mr.. Thos. Prosch

Mr.. Prosch has aimed TO include every
body justly entitled to be counted and to
exclude every body not actually resident Of
the city. To avoid the mischief of double
enumeration was his special care. and to
this end be instructed his eanvasssrs to
take only the names of persons who slept
