The ORIGIN OF II NAME-A cor
respondent of the Phoebe Record ex.
plains how the Hermes was christ

considerable remark, during the pro.
gress of the Raymond d Ely VS.,
Herines trial, concerning the origin
of the word last quoted, AS the maine

suggested that the name was the prop

that hence it was taken for present
baptismal purposes. AS l happen to

location of the Hermes, the chapter

The NEWARK MILL. We learn
that the Newark mill will go into
operation 0 II or about the LIST prOXimO.
There is an immense amount of fair
grade ore in that section, and it is the
opinion OF competent judges that the
mill when once started will be Kept
i'll constant operation. The miners OH
the eastern slope of Diamond feel
greatly encouraged in consequence of
the prospects of the Newark mill
being started up one more. 1t has
not crushed a pound of ore, we be-
lieve for over, two years. The agent
of the company, which is a New
York concern by the way is now at
ElkO on business. AS soon as he re-
turns the mill will promptly steam
up. 1t is proposed to erect a new
furnace during the Sum

SPRING GOODs.-Messrs. Myers &
Franklin, the celebrated dry goods
men, make an official announcement
in this issue of the SENTINEL, which
will doubtless be read by all Of our
local readers and especially the ladies'.
These eHterprisinG merchants need no
word of commend ton from us
their libelality and fair dealing is
well understood throughout the sur
country. We will say, how
to the ladies, that if anything is
wanted in the dry goods line, Myers
& EHa As4i4s staNd ready to-sapply the
demand with all the la.es- styles and
fashions. In a word, their Spring
and Summer stock is II OF the most
complete ever brought to Eastern Ne
vada. Give them a call-no trouble
to show goods.
IDENTIFIED.-All of the stolen hor-
SEES, except two, found in the posses
sion OF Dutch George and his con-
federates near this place. have been
identified by the Owners of them
at Phoebe. There is no doubt but that
Dutch George has made his last RAD
on honest mems horses for some Time
to come. lie will probably be num-
bered among the guests OF State Prison
Warden Lyman before many weeks
shall have elapsed.
RICH ORE.-A prospector displayed
some m~arvelously rich ore here a day
or two ago, which he said was a new
discovery, but he refused to designate
the locality. One assay showed a
value OF 81, coo per tOl in silver. Inc
prospector said he would be in again
in a few days. when he might con-
clude to give information concerning
his new Ell Dorado. 1t was rumored
Yesterday that certain parties had fol-
lowed him into the mountains.
The woman with the
girl who professionally interviewed
most of the people of Eureka a few
days ago. has turned up in Phoebe
where She appears to be doing IA land
office business. The editor OF the
Record - heeled her to Il half dollar,
