Boston, November 29.-The passing
hours do not bring an end to the reports
of wrecks and loss of life up and down the
New England coast as the outcome of Sun
DAYS terrific storm, such a one as New
England never had before. From Cape
Cod the most terrible accounts of ruin and
death are coming, and the loss of the
steamer Portland, eide-wheeler plying
between Boston and Portland, with all on
board, nearly 100 souls, overshadows all.
The graveyard of the coast, the treach-
erous bars and ribs on the outside of Cape
Cod, have claimed victims without num-
ber. Miles and miles of coast line are
piled high with wreckage, most of which
is ground so fine by the waves that ldentl-
fication of hapless craft is impossible.
As the fury of the wind was as great on
the bleak sand-hills which make up the
cape, it will be many hours before all
places are heard from. Telegraph wires
are down and railroads cannot break out
the snowdrifts, and this feature is distress
ing, as much suffering from cold and
hunger must ensue among the poorer peo-
pie in the nearby hamlets.
Tonight the only means OF reaching
Cape Cod is by steamer across Massachu-
setts Bay, disagreeable voyage, as the
sea is yet boisterous.

Portland, of the Boston-P Portland Steam
ship Company, plying between Boston
and Portland, was totally wrecked at 10
o'clock Sunday morning off Highland

perished within g short distance of land.
A large quantity of wreckage, including
trunks and other materials; have come
ashore, and at dark last night "a bodies
had been recovered from the sef by the
life-saving crew at High Head station.
One body was that of woman.
The news of the disaster was brought
to the Herald through the agency of a
special train, as communication to Boston
by wire from points on Cape Cod is i'm
possible on account of the havoc wrought
10y the storm.

THIRTY WRECKS.

Word from Provlncetown tells of nearly
thirty total wrecks, with the number OF
lives lost unknown.
Matters are improving slightly along
Vineyard Sound, so far as the means OF
communication is concerned. The best
summing up of the disasters in that Sec
ton is made by Captain Hard, OF the rcve-
nue. cutter Dexter, who has cruised along
shore all day. He says that in Vineyard
Haven hulls are piled upon the shore and
those vessels which are afoat seem mere
shells. The Dexter reports possible addi-
tons to the wreck list in two schooners
sunk off Menemsha Blight and two big
ones sunk abreast off Presque Isle. The
fate of their crews is unknown. Three
wrecking steamers are around the Fairfax,
ashore on the Sow and Pigs reefs.

From all accounts the physical con-
dition of the Bullion-Beck at Eureka
is all that could be desired. and it is
now believed that in the near future
this magnificent producer will eclipse
former records in the way of ore output
and the payment of dividends, as The
Herald is officially informed that on
the 1900 level in this property there is
a splendid showing of mineral and i'm
mense bodies of ore exposed which will
assay 1875 per cent lead. Is per cent
copper and $3.50 ounces in silver to the
= ton, and as this deposit of mineral is
sunk upon there is every indication Of
continuity and permanency, While in
other portions of the property the
showing is almost equally as good.
1t has been known for some time that
the mine was in excellent shape, which
assertion is being borne out by fire.
quent and heavy shipments, the com
pany receiving settlements yesterday
for nine carloads of ore, which were
sold on controls showing values as
above stated, and now that repairs
have been made in the hoist, the size
of the shipments are being materially
increased, in consequence of which the
regular dividend for this month is
confidently expected, and in certain
circles an increase in the amount is
looked for.
The other mines of Eureka are also
doing we'll The Humbug and Uncle
Sam, owned by Jesse Knight, are max
ing heavy and regular shipments of
high grade ore. The Eureka Hill re-
Gently sent out a large consignment of
bullion, while operations have been re-
sumed at the keystone, and it is re-
ported that the Centennial Eureka
never looked so well before
On the Mammoth side of the divide
there is also great activity, and the
Mammoth company has again started
up its mill, While the ore shipments are
both large and rich, and an early in
crease in the amount of dividends paid
by the company is already being talked
Of in mining circles. The Grand Cen
trail is also attracting a great deal of
attention just now, on account of it's
big output of late, as previously men
toned in these columns, and it is now
almost certain that the company will |
pay a dividend this month, the question !
now discussed by the officers of the /
association being as to whether to make /
the initial distribution 10 or 20 cents a |
share.
The Swansea and South Swansea are
also keeping up regular monthly divi-
dends, so that it will be seen that Tin
tic district is doing it's part in the en-
richment OF the world, and perhaps a
little more.
