EUREKA, May 8, 1873.


EDrroR NEWS After the little furry of snow,
with the sloppy weather incident to the thaw
which followed, we are now being blessed with
the pleasantness of Summer.


REVIVAL IN BUSINESS.


With the starting of the furnaces and the
necessarily increased force of men at work,
business has shown a great revival in the last
few weeks. Old debts are being paid up, en-
abling merchants to remit to their creditors
below, and make new contracts for merchandise,
etc The great drawback to this good town,
however. is the prospective suit between the
Richmond and Consolidated Mining Companies,
which will soon attract as much attention as
the celebrated Raymond -Hermes trial, just
completed. Public feeling in regard to the con-
test seems considerably divided, the friends of
either claiming they are in the right. However
the case may terminate, during its continuance
1t will make lively times in town.


GENERAL ITEMS


Judge McKenney, our District Judge. arrived
during the week, and has made his headquarters
at the International. His stay will probably
depend ON the length of the trial between the two
great mining companies.


The advent of the District Court into the new
county will have the effect to give renewed i'm
petus TO business of all kinds, particularly to
hotel and saloon keepers. The array of legal
talent will undoubtedly be large and their labors
arduous. II will be blessing to that portion
of our people who seem never to have anything
to occupy their time, to be furnished a place of
resort during the warm days approaching and
then 1t will De full of instruction to those who
attend, to listen TO the forensic eloquence of the
bright and shining lights who will discourse ON
the relative merits of the suits at bar.


Our funaces are beginning to show good re-
suits from the last months working and bull
lion has again commenced to line the road
between here and Palisade. Money is becoming
more plentiful, and the late hard times will soon
be remembered among the things that were.


The Ruby Consolidated Furnaces under the
able management Of Superintendent o. II Hahn
are producing great quantities of bullion, and
seem determined to rival all others in amount
run out The No. furnace of this company, 1
am informed, puts through As tons of ore daily,
which produces from five to seven tons of bull
lion. according to quality Of ore. This is GER
tainly good showing, and is equal to anything
now being performed in Eureka.


The boys are endeavoring to get up some horse
racing for the Summer months, by organizing a
Jockey Club. 1t is TO be hoped that the fatal
complications Of last year may be avoided, and
that good order may reign among the attendants
at this exciting sport. This section boasts of
quite a number Of fast nags. and a lively compe-
tition will be started when racing commences.


The coming election next August, for county
officials, is already beginning to excite the
attention of the political portion of our commu-
nifty, and should the conflict come of, will be Il
spirited one. The present incumbents will
undoubtedly go before the people for election TO
the positions they now occupy by appointment,
and will make hard fight for victory. The
track will be open to all, and may the best
men win"


1t is confidently hoped among our people that
the proposed railroad will be built from Elko by
Gilmer Il Salisbury, but, from the evidences now
in view, It is impossible for any one to form a
decided opinion whether the gentlemen mean
business or not. If the road could be construct
ed so as to run within a short distance Of Eureka,
no doubt capitalists would at once see money in
a branch. Those who have conversed with Mr..
Gilmer on this matter, say that he still AYERS
that it is their intention to 90 on with the
work and, when one takes into consideration
the fact of a new survey having been commenced
and almost completed, it would be matter of
surprise 10 think it is meant as =" blind"


Jerry Schooling, our worthy State Treasurer,
is expected in town this week. and hearty greet
ing will be accorded him by his many friends in
this vicinity. He has been making quite tour
Of late. with a view, probably, of seeing how the
land lays for the coming campaign. There is
no better or more honorable gentleman now
holding office In any State than Jerry, and,
should he conclude to make another race over
the political course, no man would have a better
chance for election. He would make strong
candidate for Governor. aud poll many votes
outside Of his party. EUCLID.
