Estate OF Eugene Robinson.

The settlement OF the estate OF the
late Eugene n. Robinson was brought
to a close at this term Of Court, the
bondsmen released, and the final
papers filed with the Clerk and Re-
corder OF this county.
This is the last act in an estate
which at one time was not thought
would pay twenty cents on the dol
lar; but. with the exception of New
York city, where there is now an
administration pending upon money
in bank in that city, the estate has,
unlike most estates, paid its entire
Indebtedness, dollar for dollar, to-
gether with that of the partnership
business, amounting to over $40, 900,
which has all been paid from sales
of Seligman property covering the
past two years.
over three fourths OF this Seligman
property, including the large concen-
trating mill, machinery, mines, etc.,
have been saved unencum bered for
the surviving partners, which speaks
volumes for the untiring energy and
business ability displayed in the
management by Mrs. Eugene n. Rob-
inson, the exeeutrix, who has now
taken up her residence in New York

Peacock Bullion.

Newt Boyd dropped into our Office
few days ago and laid upon
our case nice little bar of gold
bullion, weighing 3715 ounces, the
the product of 81 tons of Peacock ore
worked at the Ely mill. The ore av-
craged about $50 per ton and milled
perfectly free. The boys have about
200 tons of ore on the dump that will
mill $40 to the ton. But the expense
of hauling IT across the valley and
mill charges will not permit of this
ore being worked. The Peacock is
one among the most promising mines
in this section for the work done on
it. and with more development and a
mill of its own would in short time
become a good bullion producer.

This property promises great riches
for the stockholders. A fine body of
ore has been struck in the lower tun-
nel-two feet of high grade bromide
and chloride ores; in the shaft they
have force of men working on four
feet of high grade ore. They expect
four Burleigh drills in the next two
weeks and there are thirty-tive men
now at work. In fact this company
is pursuing course that will surely
win "Be sure you're right then GO

At White Cloud there is reported
rich find of chloride and horn sill

The pampas-grass originates, as its name
indicates, on the vast prairies or pampas Of
the Argentine Republic and Southern Bra
I'll, which are covered with long, tangled
masses of this rank growth. Years ago the
great bushy clumps of grass, with their
ethereal-llke, feathery plumes. were intro
duced for ornamental purposes in this
country and Europe. The soil and climate
of Santa Barbara appeared to be particu-
larly well adapted to its growth, the plumes
grown there attaining great size and per-
