Rooster, Eureka county, Nevada

Weed mine in Sleepy Holler Canyon last
night, bringing with him Q large COB Of
something resembling gold. He unloaded
at the Last Chance saloon on 5th avenue.
where the lump was the cynosnre Of all
eyes. While 10 resembled gold 10 had more
the appearance Of brass, and II will take
assays to determine its value and compo-
sition.
The oldest inhsbitant fails 10 remember
anything just like IL ever having been
struck in this district. and u is attracting
great attention and there 10 no little ex-
element over the find.
To make sure Of having something,
Arther proceeded at once TO BOWL up and
to-day he is as full as 9 tick with Q good
chance Of being the fret occupant Of our
new calsboose.
II has been reported, on the quiet, that
several parties have sneaked out and taken
up ground around Mr.. Dudeley's prop
critics with the expectation, Of course, Of
getting SOM Of the possible bonanza. II
viii take several days to get the necessary
determinations made and then we may all
take g scoot for the new "Eldorado."
Large and fine finds seem 70 be coming
In thick and fast. Old Bill Smith, as
skinny and sffable as ever, called at our
Sanotum Ssnctorum this morning and
told us all he knew about the new disoov-
cry in the "Helinevads" property, which
looks now as though IL was q veritsble
hummer. OF course, while everyone
knows Old William to be . prize winner
on lying, still we must at least give some
credence to what he says. when he backs IL
up with the necessary rock.
Work is being pushed with all speed and
they have the finest Of indicstions. which
are so pleasing 70 the average miner.
| William has mined on indications for the
past steen years and never made enough
out Of them to get q cake Of soap. and the
indications in that particular line show up
! well and make 10 clear TO the casual OBJ
server that Bill hssn't troubled himself
about using Pears this morning st least;
and ''psy dirt" can be found very close TO
the owner Of the famous "Helinevada"
property.
OF course, on the strength Of the strike,
we mosied ont with William and at the
First Opportunity" got some Of that
good old 'Clover Top" booze. that will
make . man think Of his ancestors and
shake his mother every time. We wish
William every luck in the world and hope
he'll ccme In again during the day.
Petey Openheimer. the genial and pleas
ant rooster from "Your Little Willie"
group, over in Rose of Sharon gulch, was
in town last week telling everybody every
thing that be didn't know about mines
and mining. Petey is a bird when il comes
down to anything Of this kind, and be can
display more Of his know nothing knowl-'
edge than anyone in the whole district in
q shorter space Of time than anyone we
have ever met. He is what one would
call q "Smart Aleck," and yet, from what
be tells and swears to, there is plenty OF
good ore in sight in the ''Fat Old Betsy"
OF the above group.
He informed us, on the quiet, that they
had encountered Kanockeride on the foot
wall, and while the hanging had not been
struck. they were drifting for u. through
q large formation OF Losangelessite, which
he states always lies within . mile or two
Of ore; and fine ore at that. Work. Of
course, Ia going on with an increased
force and machinery is about to be put on
the main shaft. When this Is done he
will be able 70 do better work and gain
more in knowledge in regard TO the Lsjun.
taride and Eurekatownsite rock that bis
valuable mine seems to be permeated with
as we go 70 press.
Stephen Angelica, the good natured old
stiff that has been around this city ever
since We became anybody and figured
among the cosmopolitan cities Of the
world, dropped in yesterday to show
mining editor 9 specimen Of some float
that he had found while floating round
over hummer Mountain, and IL looks good
and is really good for sore eyes. Steve has
undoubtedly caught onto something that
will enable him. before long, to graduate
from Q steady diet Of sow's bosom and
skinned milk 10 corned beef and cabbage
three times per diem. Good luck to you,
Stephen. and when you have found the
contact, just come round and give the
"Roaster" q few shares and get your name
In the paper again and make us all happy.
The "Bon Mot" Is certainly 10 keeping
with her name and is turning out fine .
good supply of "bon-bons" every day, and
Irish Sherod, Yankee Fitzpatrick. Billy
McGlue and Harry Wiseacre are the boys
that are resping the reward for their hard
work in the days gone by. The property
lie situated on squaw Mountain and is dis
tributing sugar plums in fine shape.
We are always pleased At the success Of
others tnext 10 ourselves). and the good
fortune Of these boys makes us feel good
