Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-08-13
WHERE IS TT?


question now in order is, in what part
of Eureka county is "Piute" located?
We have been here almost as long as
the Oldest inhabitant, and never yet
heard of "Piute." We protest, too,
against this name on behalf of the
whole Shoshone tribe of redskins. who
claim a priority of title to all OF the
territory embraced within the limits of
Eureka county. The shiftless Piute
has no rights here that anybody is
bound to respect, and we object most
earnestly and emphatically to the at
tempt of a centralized tyrannical gov
eminent at Washington to thus inter-
fere In the business and things strictly
belonging according to Greeley's last
almanac, the National Radical Plat
form of 1860, the resolutions OF 1898,
and other eminent and undisputed and
indisputable authorities to the several
States in their sovereign capacity, who
are the sole judges of the ''infraction
as well as Of the mode and manner of
redress" the sain to he strictly con-
strued on the basis of local self-govern-
ment, as promulgated in the numerous
personal liberty bills affirmed by SOL
Ill vi W. VI ibt W
this glorious Republic, including the
justly celebrated bred Scott decision,
wherein with wise forethought the law
wa given to the North and the negro
to the South; but, as we were shout to
say, some measure OF consideration is
due to the traditions and tribal rela-
tons of the ''plumed warriors of the
DESERT and not even the minions of a
third : term : aspiring administration
should be permitted to plant a Piute
postofice in aShoshone country.
MINSTREL PERFoRMANcE.-A min
strel troupe, under the management of
Jesse Bigelow, will give the first of a
series of performances at Bigelow's
Hall tomorrow evening. The compa-
ny consist of Misses Ella Allen, Jessie
McGill and Lucy Taylor, Messrs. Dick
Western, Harry Burton, Sam. Mitch
ell, George Dick, John Frank and
Little Mack. The performan @ will
consist of a first part" of mir:h,
music and conversation, to be followed
by a variety of singing, dancing, char
acter acts, etc., the whole concluding
with a laughable ethiopian Extrava-
ganza." The company comprise a
number of first-class performers, while
all are above mediocrity in their sever
al roles; and those who attend will wit
ness an excellent variety performance.
The best of order will be preserved,
and nothing will be permitted upon
the st & that will offend the most re-
fined or sensitive mind.
THOSE ARMs.-A few days ago we
alluded to the arms issued to the Ma
tional Guard of this town. We have
since ascertained from Lieut.. Governor
Adams that there are no other arms at
the military headquarters at Carson;
that the State will in a short time re-
ceive its quota of improved breech-
leaders from the annual distribution
made by the General Government, and
that As the Nationals now stand first
on the list of applicants they will be
furnished with the new arms as soon
as they arrive in the Stale. The lex
ington Guard, at Phoebe, will be armed
in the SAINT n as the Nationals
until the new guns arrive. The De-
partment at Carson did the best they
could under the circumstances, and we
are satisfied there is no just cause for
complaint.
THE X K.-Within the last six weeks
a drift $50 feet in length has been run
on the foot-wall in the fourth level of
the X X mine, besides an upraise to
the third level, a distance of 1861 feet.
The wo-k was prosecuted under the
direction of +. j. Mette, the foreman
OF the mine, and is perhaps the most
expeditions piece of tunneling work
ever executed in this district. We I'M
derstand that a body of pure galena
and yellow ~carbonates was struck yes.
terday in the upraise from the extreme
east end of the second level. The re-
pairs upon the furnace are nearly com
pleted and everything will be in readi-
ness for the resumption of active oper-
atoms in a few days.
THE GILA MINING CoMPANY.-A
stakeholder in the ella mine writes us
AS follows. "The ella Mining Com
pany held a reserve of $50, 900 after
paying the twenty-five cents dividend
for June. The mine produced upwards
of SIS, 900 in July, and still the man
agement pays but twenty-cents divi-
dend for that month. "Query-Where

We find the foregoing in the Hum.
boldt Siiver State of Wednesday. For
the Information of that journals cor.
respondent, we will state that the ella
Company is erecting a fiue new mill
which is supposed to cost a dollar or
two.

ton is wanted concerning the where
abouts of Charles l.. Pickering. He
formerly resided at Eureka, but
