We notice several very important ad-

foundry on Main street. consisting prin.
cipally Of a pattern making shop adj
joining the casting department.
The Eureka Consolidated has pro-

Der Brad Dow, the beautiful vocalist,
who used to sing In the saloons Of Eu-

seen and heard every evening al Charley

away.
Work on the Richmond furnaces is
progressing rapidly and everything is
being put in readiness for the machinery
now on the way. When again in opera
ton these furnaces will equal anything
in the world in the matter OF producing
bullion. II is certain the Richmond
Company has one OF the finest mines in
Nevada, and recent workings are de-
v~eloping large bodies OF ore every day,
the supply seeming inexhaustible.
The stage which arrived here yester-
day morning was stopped by four mask
ed men, near the Hay Ranch. % miles
this side Of Palisade, night before last,
and robbed Of about all the valuables on
board, including the money and jewelry
belonging to most of the passengers.
The robbery occurred three miles south
of the Hay Ranch Station, on an open
plain. The robbers were apparently
lying on the ground, and when the
stage approached they all sprung up
with m accord aud commanded the
driver to halt, which order was obeyed
without an argument. 1t was only a
little after Z o'clock. and the weather
being cloudy, the evening was especial
ly dark and foggy in the valley chosen
as the scene OF the robbery. Three OF
the robbers we're armed with shotguns,
and the fourth presented two pie tolls as
his credentials. There were several
passengers on the stage. who reside in
Eureka and White Pine; among those
from this place were Mr.. Cromer (of
the firm of Maupin & Cromer), wife and
children. We gathered from the pass
engsrs who stopped here pretty full
particulars concerning the whole affair.
Mrs. Cromer who sat on the rear seat
near an open window, was the fret OF
the passengers on the inside to discover
the presence of tie robbers. The other
windows being closed, two six shooters
were thrust almost in her face the mo.
ment the stage had come to a standstiil.
The passengers we're then assured that
il they would keep still not n OF them
should be molested. Wells. Fargo &
Cos treasure.box was handed down
by the driver aud the leading man
OF the band proceeded to chop
it open with an ak brought along
for the purpose. Meanwhile the other
three stood guard over the driver and
passengers. 1t is supposed that the
box OF Wells. Fargo 4 Co. did not : pan
OUT very we'll, as the fellow in charge
OF 1t was heard TO curse his luck. At
this stage OF the proceedings it seems
that the robbery OF the passengers was
resolved upon. Accordingly they were
ordered out Of the stage, one at a time,
when their effects were duly taken
charge Of. The total amount taken
from the passengers in money was only
about 5000. Some three or four watches.
however, we're taken from the party.
MI. Cromer was made to ~disgorge two
watches, his own and new silver watch
he was bringing up from San Francisco
for a friend. He also lost $50 in coin.
Mrs. Cromer was the only lady aboard.
She was allowed to remain in the stage
and was in no way molested, though ac-
cording to her own admission she was
terribly frightened until the performance
had been pretty we'll gone through with.
Cromer had the only pistol among the
passengers-a derringer. This he had to
fork over also AS the passengers were
"cleaned out" they were ranged in a
row at the rear OF the stage where one
OF the masqueraders kindly protected
them with a shotgun. The next move
was to unlash the boot and go through
the trunks and other baggage. This
part OF the work was done with a ven-
geance, the ak being freely used to
smash things to pieces. The leader oil
the band, who appeared very desperate.
