WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the News.

SHOOTING ScRAPE.-Thursday night
last, about 7 O'Clock, on Treasure Hill,
a man named Dick, and another by the
name of Walton, met at Dicks house
to settle some scandal that had been
circulated about Walton and his fami-
ly, when Dick was asked by Walton to
take a portion of the scandal back. A
scuffle then ensued; Dick drew his pis-
tol and fired at Walton, luckily miss
ing him. Both men were promptly
arrested by Constable McElroy and
taken before Justice Badly, who bound
the parties over to keep the peace.

DECORATION DAY.

To-day, May 30th, is the day set
apart to do honor to the memory of the
brave men who sacrificed their lives in
the cause of their country during the
late rebellion. 1t lisa National holiday,
made SO by an act of Congress, and as
such generally observed by the people
Of the older States irrespective Of po-
litical sentiments or antecedents. The
day is no longer hold sacred especial
~ to the memory CT those who fell in
the cause Of the Union, for, as the bit
terness and rancor engeDdered by the
wal has become softened by time, the
distinction which was formerly made
between the last resting places OF those
who fell beneath the stars and bars,
and those who yielded their lives in
defense of. the glorious flag Of our
Union, has gradually become less
marked, and to-day, in most of the
places where the customary services
will be held, all soldiers graves will
be decorated alike-the "gray'' as well
as the "blue." An exchange in al
luding to this subject truthfully re-
marks: "No true soldier would have
it otherwise. We believe tho Grand
Army Of the Republic was the first to
snake this loving overture of friend
ship and good will, by decorating the
graves of Confederates who died in the
North, and no sooner was the overture
made than it was accepted by the
soldiers of Dixie land, who in turn
scattered flowers over the Union dead
in the South. What happier idea could
be conceived to perpetuate the mem
ory of the fallen heroes than this an
nual strewing of flowers over their re-
mains. No monumental marble erect
ed over the last resting place of the
soldier can pay SO great and honored a
tribute as the green leaves and fragrant
blossoms yearly laid upon his tomb by
the loving hands and remembering
hearts Of the soldier comrades who
survive him."
The day will be observed in Eureka,
and we are happy to say in the proper
spirit. The different organizations that
participate will form in procession at 2
o'clock p. NJ, and march to the differ
ent cemeteries and make the offering.

EUREKA CONSOLIDATED.

Wetook occasion, in yesterday'sSEN-
TINEL, to notice the feeble effort of a
correspondent of the Bulletin to bring
discredit upon the great mine whose
name heads this article. The Enter
prise also takes occasion to show up
some of the glaring misstatements OF
this fault finding scribbler. The En-
tespgise is very close to the mark in
its deductions, and we therefore repro
duce its remarks entire:
A writer in the Bulletin, of San Fran
cisco, says the new bonanza of the Eu.
reka Consolidated assays very low in
both gold and silver; that it takes eight
tonssof ore to make a o of bullion,
which is only worth some $40 in the
precious metals. This makes the new
development worth only $50 per ton.
There must be some mistake in the
statement. A gentleman who visited
Eureka last week informed us that the
three furnaces were yielding thirty
four tons of bullion daily. This, il
the statement of the writer in the But-
letin is correct, would involve the
smelling of two hundred and seventy
two tons of ore, or over ninety tons to
a furnace, which is fully double theil
capacity. At three and a half tons o.
ore for a ton of bullion, which is abou|
the average of Eureka smelling ores, il
would be about forty ions OF ore to
a furnace, which is as much as they
can reduce. Our informant said The
bullion was worth $500 per ton, whict
would leave the value of the ore IS;
per ton, and which we presume il
about correct. Taking off SIT so pei
ton for mining, hauling and smelling
and the profit is in the neighborhooc
of $67 so per ton. The lead ought tx
pay for freight and separation, ant
leave something over, which leave'
the net profits of the ore very clos'
to $40 per. ton-a better result thar
we know of in any large mine excep
one or two on the Cofnstock. o
course, we do not ssum that thu
above estimate is correct; it is baseC
simply on probabilities, taking thu
daily yield OF the furnaces as dati
from which to estimate.

STEA

There is a faint prospect, says the
Virginia Chronicle, that another prize
fight will take place at no very distant
date between those two notorious bruis-
ers Jim Chatham and Bing Williams.
The latter claims that he was nOt dealt
fairly with in the last fight, and is out
this morning in a card calling on Jim
Chatham to fight him again. 1t will
be recollected hat Chatham has al
ready announced through the public
prints that he will fight no more. 1t is
thought, however, that he will consent
to fight if hard pushed. TIE issue OF
the next fight will depend much on the
man who seconds Chatham. The
friends of Tom DAILY, who trained
Chatham for his last fight, claim that
he .Chatham-did not do the right
thing by DAILY, and it is doubtful il
DAILY will have anything to do with
Chatham in the coming mill. In that
case the services of Bill Davis will
probably be called on. He has much
more confidence in Chatham since he
won the last fight than when he threw
| him upon the hands of Daily. The lat
| ter gives it as his opinion that the fight
| will surely come off.
The Raymond & Ely thirty-stamp
mill at Bullionville is running along
very regularly and is doing very ex-
cellent work. A large quantity of ore
is on hand and is being increased by
the daily receipts. The twenty-stamp
mill is being examined, cleaned and
repaired, and will shortly be adding
It's quota = the product of bullion.
The ten-stamp mill is also being re-
paired. When these are completed
the mill will be devoted solelyto worl
ing failing. The repairs of the five
| stamp mill are almost finished. Ore is
being received daily and the mill will
soon be at work. So. after a long peri.
cd OF inactivity the cheerful sounds Of
the reduction works will make Bull
lionville once again ssum a busy
aspect.

MOB LAW.

It appear that a mob attempted to
hang John Yule, the man lately ar
rested at Eberhardt city on suspicion
of having kindled the fire which de-
stroyed much of that place. Treating
of mob law in general, and this case in
particular, the White Pine Meas has
the following:
We cite a case near at home to
illustrate the danger OF an exclted
people taking the law into their W
hands: At The late fire at Eberhardt
City, John Yule was charged with mr.,
ing the town. He had been arrested
and was under charge of the officers
of the law, when it was discovered
by the officers that an excited mob
was "steaming up" with a view OF
rescuing the prisoner and hanging him
then and there. The plan was only
frustrated by the prompt action OF the
officers in beating a hasty retreat with
their prisoner and safely lodging him
in the county Jail. This excitement
was kept at fever heat, and the news
reached the Sheriff7s office that an eff
fort would be made to take the pris-
oner from the Jail and hang him.
Proper steps were taken to prevent
this, and John Yule, after undergo
ing two searching investigations, was
discharged by the Court; and yet, had
he not been removed from Eberhardt,
he would doubtless have suffered an
ignominious death to satiate the pas
sions of mob, but would have died an
innocent man.

Military Outrages In Nebraska.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nays.
A Journal extra of this afternoon
says: On last Friday morning the sol
diers under Captain Walker entered a
camp at Gordon City, Nebraska, and
burned fourteen wagons, ratlons, sup
plies and arms, and destroyed every
thing belonging to the Black Hills
Transportation Company except some
baggage, which they loaded into the
six remaining wagons and started for
Randall, making the men 20 on foot,
some of them being b~arefooted, their
boots and clothing having been de-
stroyed. The mules gave out on the
way, and much of the baggage was
thrown away. After the capture the
officers ransacked the camp, helping
themselves to everything they could
use and turned the soldiers loose at
the remainder without hindrance.
