SAYS the Phoebe Record, that he met at
the Buckskin mountains George Lam

Mosquis Agency, accompanied by a Mex
lean named Francisco. Two weeks later
a squaw reported at the Fort that TINS
Mexican Francisco had shot the Ameri-
can throughthe head and buried him, and
had given her two horses not to tell OF IT,
She also stated that the man killed had a
finger off, and from other descriptions It
was known that it was George Smock,
who escaped from the Phoebe Jail, that
was killed. The balance OF the party
went to New Mexico.

ARE WE TO HAVE A RUSH.

From it's earliest history Eureka has
pursued the even tenor of its way. I'm
aided by extraneous capital, n relying
solely upon its own resources, 1t has 10 q
little more than five years arrived at It's
present status-the second place In point
of importance in the State. Our bullion
yield has steadily increased year by year.
and the town has increased IN a cores
ponding ratio. There has never been
any excitement about our mines, u
consequently no grand rush to the as
trict has ever occurred. AS much, we
imagine. can not be said of any other
mining section on the Pacific coast OF
equal prominence. A change, however,
in the old order of things appears imml-
nent. The prospect of the early compile
ton Of the Eureka and Palisade Railroad,
and above allthe wonderful developments
in our leading mines, seems destined to
attract hither a very large population.
Already we can observe signs OF the adj
vancing tide, and unless we are very
greatly mistaken our population will be
doubled within the next few months. A
certain kind of immigration is to be de-
sired. We want men of means to come
us to help develop N immense
mineral resources. There is no better
field anywhere for the investment Of cap
ital than right here in Eureka. There
are hundreds of valuable mining proper
ties now in the hands of poor men, that
could be made to yield handsome returns
if in the hands of parties able to work
them on a proper comprehensive scale.
Eureka is capable of producing two hum
dred IONS of bullion daily, just as soon as
all of her resources are brought out. But
capital is necessary to bring about this
desirable end. There are here already
poor people enough. What is wanted is
men representing capital. Ii these will
come and examine for themselves, we are
satisfied hat they will not go away with
out investing. No place III the world
presents such favorable opportunities for
the Iroftable investment of capital as
does the Eureka of to-day.-EureEd Sen
tineJ.

SETTLEMENT.-We are glad to see, says
the Virginia Chronicle, that an amicable
settlement of the differences existing be-
tween the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of California and the County Com
mittee of San Francisco has been obtained
at last. The success of the party de-
handed that the breach should be filed.
and we are unwilling to believe that the
Democracy of San Francisco would ruin
all by any petty ~jealousies and personal
animosities. All that was required was
for one OF the committees to hold out the
hand of fellowship, and this has been
done. The State Central. Committee on
Friday night last sang truce through it's
bugles and the County Committee came
in. From the first the differences were
so slightthat they could easily have been
quelled, but the old men were stif-backed
and stubborn, and the young men indig-
nant that they had been snubbed. 1t is
probable that Captain Mullan, the brains
of the County Committee, on his return
from the East, brought about the recon-
Citation.

TIMES GENERALLY.-There are at pres
ent but very few non-produeers IN this
community, says the Nevada State Jour
nal. While just now there is no great
rush in business generally; all, or nearly
So. produce sufficient to defray expenses.
This is a happy condition of things dur
ing the prevalence OF dull times, and diff
ferent to what is generally the case in
towns during a depression OF business.

Foul PLAY SUSPECTED. Some ten days
ago, says the Winnemucca SaUer State of
the 10th, = McWorthy, who recently 10
Gated a sulphur mine neal Rabbit Hole
Springs, brought man named Sharp with
him from San Francisco to take charge
of the mine. They left Mill City in q
wagon with supplies, and camped at a
spring within a few miles of the sulphur
beds, from which the supplies had to be
packed to the mine. Next morning they
went to the mine, where a man named
Rover was at work, and while making ar
engagements to pack the suppliesto camp,
Sharp suddenly disappeared and has not
been seen or heard from since. He was
known to have some three or four hun
dred dollars in his possession, and it is
strongly suspected that he has been foully
dealt with. Last Saturday McWorthy
arrived in town and informed Sheriff
Nash Of Sharp's disappearance, and gave
the above information relative to the
matter. The Sheriff left Immediately for
the sulphur beds, and has not yet re-
turned.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court Of this State, in o late decision,
has decided that the several counties
through which the Central Pacific Rail-
road runs, have the power to levy and
collect taxes upon their property. The
test case came up from Washoe county,
which had sued the company for delin-
quent taxes. The defense was, that the
State had no power to levy the tax upon
the road, it-being a franchise granted by
the Federal Government but the Su-
preme Court took a different view of the
matter, and rendered a decision adversely
to the Railroad Company, which will
have the effect of compelling that COM
pany to pay its just taxes upon all its
property in the State.

may permit them to proceed on their
journey. So says the Virginia Chronicle
of the Goth. They are boarded free at
the Pacific Immigrant House, by order of
the General superintendent of the Union
Pacific road. If they find themselves
bankrupt at such an early stage of the

the railroad companies, their condition

end will not be encouraging. There is a

SHOULD BE REnEMBERED. ~
When some great public enterprise has
been accomplished through capital. it is
eften the case that people lose sight OF
and forget the ~originators and projectors
of the great work itself. 1t is true, no
great public enterprise can besuccessfuliy
undertaken and accomplished without
capital. and people are ever gladto praise
those who invest their means in any pub
lie work of merit. This is right, they
deserve great credit ; but isn't it equally
true, that if the great enterprise origin
ated in the brain of some n who had
the power to agitate the public mind until
it was convinced of the feasibility OF. the
same, yet did not possess the means to
carry it out, should not that person at
least be remembered when plaudits go up
for the capitalist !? We might answer the
question individually, but what we most
desire is, that the public should answer
it, and answer it rightly. To do this
they must go back to the origin of the
enterprise, and inquire where it origin
ated, who got it before the public, and in
what manner was it kept there, until
there was no longer a doubt as to its feas-
Utility. We have been led to this subject
by having witnessed the power OF the
local press on enterprises of a public
character. We need not go far for
example. To the Eureka Sentinel to-day
belongs the credit of having caused the
construction of that great public enter
prise. the Eureka & Palisade Railroad.
1t took time, but the repeated and con-
elusive arguments of that journal as to
the feasibility of the road, brought capt.
tai at last and the road was built, not for
the benefit of the Sentinel alone, but for
the great public. Another instance oc-
ours to us, relative to the Nevada county
Narrow-gauge Railroad. A few years ago
a survey was made for the proposed route,
. good deal OF talk had, and then it died
a natural death. But about a year ago
the Grass Valley Daily Union took the
matter in hand, and the sound and per-
sistent arguments used by by that iniu-
entail journal in the matter, at last
brought the people to see the undoubted
correctnesso of the Union. and that brought
capital, and the road is now being CON
structed. TO the Union, then. belongs
the credit of having struck the telling
and persistent blows which shook mouldy
twenties ont Of their long resting places,
to be invested in this great public enter
prise. To those who invested great credit
is due, and praise enough will always be
in store for them but when the road is
completed and the locomotive signals its
approach, who else should be remembered?

OUR ENTERPRIyE.

Some Of our readers may smile at the
idea Of Normal school IN Jeuesborough.
We expect small beginning, and, doubt.
less, some opposition may present itself
but Wa have strong convictions on the
subject. 1t is not possible to make the
schools efficient with incompetent teachers
We have witnessed tue effect of both
good aud bad teaching. The contrast ID
great.
We are stronghly in favor Of visiting
tho schools, but experience teaches Iii
that visitation, though good in itself,
will not make efficient teachers without
which both public and private school,
must necessarily prove a failure. Moth
ing is truer than the saying that as ia the
teacher 80 is the school 1t would b.
considered a pitcc of great folly to place
an incompetent man at the head Of at
army when the life Of the nation was a
stake. 1t can hardly be considered les'
foolish to entrust the training Of the chill
drcu to incompetent teachers.
We have given much time and much
thought to the public school question.
We have exami led the teachers and
visited all the schools; we have sen the
school full Of life aud full Of study under
the hand Of a skilIful teacher, and W,
have seen 1t, on theother hand. a dull
dead mass Of young l"pes and nisdirec
ted energies. The skillful teacher make
alive, while the unskillful and incompitcn
teachers kills the energies Of the child.
Give US skin in teaching, give II
trained teacher, give us Norma
