SITUATION AT SOUTH EUREKA.
Strike Unsettled, and Nothing Doing Ex-
cept Keeping Water Out.

The labor trouble at the South
Eureka remains about the same. After
the refusal of the superintendent to
accede to the terms proposed by the
miners union representative-namely,
that work would be resumed if the
company would thereafter treat
through the union-the skip-tender
and one of the engineers we're called
out. These were mem bers of the West
ern Federation, and made the tie-up
as far as that organization is
concerned. There were three engt-
neers employed, two of them belonging
to the American Federation. These
remained at their posts, and are still at
work keeping the water out. They
are all-sutficient for this purpose. The
foreman of the mine, r. Mounter, has
been doing duty as skip-tender to tide
over the difficulty, The company is
making no particular effort to resume
operations. The outlook is not such as
to justify any struggle in resuming
work. The stock holders are Indifferent
whether it runs or closes down for
good. There is no doubt, however,
that in the absence of any trouble with
the men, the property would have been
kept going for some time, prospecting
at the 2200 level in the hope of en-
countering pay ore. The principal OBJ
ject in keeping the water down is to Sc
cure the Central Eureka, as the drain
age facilities of the latter mine are in
adequate TO control the water from
both properties.

FROM lone.

M. Jones, the champion heavyweight
of lone, was in jackson on law business
in the early part of the week. A nice
little romance is in circulation connect
ed with his trip to the seat of govern
ment. In the course of his perambula-
tions, he dropped into seat in an es-
tablishment where some of the boys
were amusing themselves with the
tiger. An onlooker, who was strapped
financially speaking-wanted Jones
to stake him. The big man, reaching
down into his capacious pocket, drew
therefrom handful of small feed, and
exhibiting the same to the would-be
borrower, remarked "I'm scraping
the bedrock, too" The lot consisted
of Is nickels and dime-75 cents all
told. 1t was not much to pit against
the bank, nevertheless it was enough
to start the stranded one in business
in the dual capacity of self and proxy.
With this small capital the wheel of
fortune whirled in his favor, and in a
short time he landed winner to the
tune of between $40 and $50. He there
upon decided that it would be unwise
to press the game any further, and
quit. He divided the winnings between
himself and his benefactor, and Jones,
with his nickels grown bigger than dol
lars, went home rejoicing. The man
from the valley wouldn't mind taking
in Jackson oftener as business propo-
sition if he could rely upon being treat
ed with the same substantial considera-
ton.
Miss Jennie Solomonson is home
from the Sand Pile niue, where she
has been working for the last three or
four months.
Mrs. Solomonson and her daughter,
Miss Amanda, have gone to San Fran
cisco. Miss Amanda will attend the
millinery school for two months to
learn the trade. Mrs. Solomonson is
on visit to friends there for few
weeks.

MINING NOTES.

ONEIDA.-It is pleasing to be able to
report that the outlook for this mine
continues to be of the most fattering
character. Last month S run, like sew
eral previous monthly outputs, left a
substantial balance over running ex-
penses. The company has accummu-
lated large surplus in it's treasury,
and the payment of dividends is looked
for in the near future.

Bad Indeed.

Losing flesh is indeed a bad sign.
Take Scott's Emulsion for it. For
weak digestion, for defective nourish-
ment, for consumption, take Scott's
Emulsion. 1t restores flesh because It
strikes to the cause of the loss.
