A goodly pot Linn of the miners are of the opinion that th« lode turns to the north, him traverses that locality, and the large amount of ore taken out, seems to justify ih»*ir belief.

The following is the official letter of Superintendent Powell, forwarded to the company’s office in Sau Francisco, on i ho 5th inst: D. A. Jknmngs, Secretary; During the past week good headway has been made in extending the various drifts, crosscut*. etc. Two bundled and fifty foot level— Wins* at end of north drift from last crosscut was sunk 10 feel, making a to fa I of 35 feet below the level; the bottom still in ore of firs class quality. The vein is dipp ng lo the ea*i at an angle of about 43 degrees. Near ihe end ol east crosscut we are (trilling northerly on a small win of rich ore, arid from the course it has taken we think it will connect with ore body in winze below north drift. At present the end ot this drift is about 40 feet southeast of the winze. Four hundred and fifty foot level — Main sou h drift advanced -7 feet, making a total of 341 feet from turn table. No material change to note. A*« soon as a connecti n h made with the 000*font levei*we wid then have a good supply of air, whi<-h will enable us io pros pec the vein of ore about 40 feet back of i lie face of the drift. >ix hundred foot level—South drift I now hi 141 feet, which lakes i' under the bottom of winze below the 450 foot ' level. We h ive start'd an upraise and will connect the two during the com ing week. A small vein of ore was cut near the face of the drift. Yours truly, J. C. Povvkll, Sup’t. tt’Ki it % co!«MM.in.m:n.

Walter Marsden on Sunday last brought up a portion of Mr. Unrah’s telephone, and attached it to the West ern Union wires in the Eureka office. In company with a number of other gentlemen we had the pleasure of t-st ing its qualities, anti parsed a pleasa* t h *ur in conversation with those at th other end of the line. The distan e l»et .ween the t ' o p nuts is half a mil*, and the sound and voces e uld be as plainly heard a-if in I he same room. Whittling, singing, the notes of a cm n oy, and even the t icking of a watch came to our ear audinly and distinctly, ami all tile tesis app ied were of (In iiio*t satisfactory character. One sees at once the prtctcil application of (he novel ins niment. Its use be; ween Auditor Dulf and Mr. Unrah’s office** at the depot save these gentlemen a great m »ny steps during the dav, an i it a <4onnec ion was made at Eureka, would materially lighten their labor**. We understand that a trial will shortly he made between Eureka and Palisade, and il it works, and there is no reason to douht it, as it w ill convey sound* 2‘>0 miles, it will be put into perma nent use, as a me Hum of communica tion between the two terminal points. -♦ Yi*i<«vl a i lut> Hooni. One of our fashionable club rooms >n Saturday evening last was honored with the presence of a lady who pro longed her stay until she .wore her welcome out. It was one of those in cidents so common, where the wife wearv of \va (thing an 1 wailing for the return nl her husband, sallies forth t determine his whereabouts, she found him engaged in an exciting contest v\ 1:11 1 he ro> at heast, and her entree, far from discomposing him, only prolong odihe tight. For two mortal hours he sat, eoppeiing, calling and playing his system, while the lady, who came to scold and upbraid, remained to w iftiess the encounter, ard was seeming.v hs much absorbed in thegan.eas her bus hand. \\ be. her he won or lost w e did not learn, but the sitting dually broke up.ardihe couple left for their sup posed peaceful and pleasant residence. Horn. Lambert MoHnelli, our efficient Deputy County Clerk, was in » very happy mood yesterday, consequent on a li'tle incident that occurred at hi*' pri\a e resilience the evening previous, 111 b same being the arrival of a liitle s:ranger—a hoy by the way — whose presence will undoub edlv add to the j-»y of the house old. Lambert bore up under the many congratulations be stowed, ami was as rejoiced as it he had fallen heir to a million of money. From San Francisco. Mr. Joseph Polls, accompanied by a party ol gentlemen interested in the Albion locations, arrived from San Francisco last evening. They will make a thorough examination ol the property and determine on future op eraiions The company represent some of the most enterprising mining capi talists of the co ist, and tliev will reap a rich reward on their investment. Iliclinionil ICnllinn. Wells, Fargo, & Co., made the follow mg shipment of bullion for the Hi h I rnnnd Company this morning: Twelve ‘ finedore bars, valued at 57, Attempted Escape. Kelly, the man convicted of assault with attempt to rob and sentenced to three years incarceration in tlie State Prison, seems to be reluctant to take that enforced journey. He made a nearly successful attempt to escape on Sunday night, and would have made the trip had not the sound of sawing been heard by young Sta*, w ho, giving tiie alarm, intercepted and returned him to durance Mle. As it was, lie damaged tlm interior of the strong li<.id to the amount ot $-01) or$300. He was well provided wall all the neces sary tools to cut his wav out, and his failure to regain his liberty was a mere matter ol Imd luck on iiis part. Be sides the saws, tiles, etc., there was found on him a bunch of keys, some tweiiiv iii number, ol various shapes and siz-s, w h ich tie had retained ever since Ii is arrest—ail of which proved iliat no very cio-e search ot his person l ad been made. It s»eins to be an ea«v matter to introduce instruments to the prisoners, ami the number of tools taken awa.v I'm in them during the past year would fit up a good sized hlaekstnith simp. The inma es have demonsfra'ed the faet that tiie building is ana thing hut secure, and if they keep uplheir lick nun ii longer, the hill tor repairs will exceed tiie cost lor a new jail. # A Lively Party. There was a select party at a private residence in the northern portion ot town Sunday evening. It was one of those lively events where the guests entered into the spirit of tile occasion, and made the affair a pleasant one. Up until about twelve o’clock the hall went on without a 1 ipple to disturb the festivities. It took until that time lor the boys to get loaded up. There w as w hisky galore, and the trips to the jog were frequent ami prolonged. About midnight somebody tread on the tail ot somebody else’s coat and the ruction commenced.
