AFFAIRs IN EASTERN NEVADA.

AFFAIRS IN EASTERN NEVADA.
Under this heading the Enterprise
publishes an interview with Bill Davis,
late of Ruby Hill. Either the reporter
or Mr.. Davis makes some glaring mis-
takes, as for instance, when the distance
between Alpha and Palisade is fixed at
ninety miles, it being but fifty; yet we
reproduce the item just to show what
is said about us by those who have been
here to see:
William Davis, Of this city, returned
home yesterday morning, after a
months sojourn in Eastern Nevada.
He gives many interesting particulars
concerning the situation OF affairs in
the east. Leaving the Central Pacific
at Palisade, tor the purpose Of visiting
Eureka, he had the pleasure of riding
on the narrow-gauge railroad as far
as Alpha distance of ninety miles
thence by stage to Eureka, a distance of
thirty-five miles. AT the present rate
OF progress in the construction of the
road, he says the cars will be in
Eureka in a couple of months.
The laborers employed in building
the road are principally Cinnamon.
When completed, it is believed that
this o a will be of the best-pav-
ing ones in the United States. Thetar-
if Tor hauling hay from Palisade to Eu-
reka will be SIS per ton. The Rich
mond Mining Company agrees to pay
the railroad 5000 per day freight
money for hauling its coal. Every
thing else in the same proportion. A
passenger train runs over the road every
night and morning, making eighteen
miles an hour. Freight trains are to
be seen passing over the road at all
hours OF the day. Mr.. Davis says
that there are a large number of idle
men In Eureka, but speaks in very
f~iatiering terms concerning the pros
poets OF the country, which, he says,
teens with mineral wealth.
To THE SUMMIT. - Yesterday the
stages began running to the Garden
Pass summit, which is a considerable
reduction in the distance to be travelled
by stage to reach the Central Pacific.
Under the new time table, which ap.
ChtH III oof aNfCItIslbE EttltilllIis, IL
Will be seer that the stages now leave
here at $40 O'Clock p. NJ, arrive at the
summit at 9:l0 o'clock p. NJ; returning,
they leave the summit at $40 o'clock
p. NJ, and arrive here at l:40 o'clock
A.. NJ. In palmer terms they are to 20
down in three hours and a half and
come up in four hours. The precise
distance Ii 26 miles. One driver will
now double the routine, and passen-
gers will have to stop over night at
Alpha as usual. IL is thought that
within two weeks trains will be rum
ming 10 the first station moth of town, a
distance OF only about fourteen miles.
ExrREMEs.-Mr. Knight placed on
our table yesterday a curiosity in the
shape of hen fruit, two eggs represent
ing the largest and smallest sizes that
can well be imagined in such a connec-
ton. They are from the Dew Drop
Ina, Newark valley. They were both
layed by the same fowl and on the
same day, the large n in the morn
ing and the little u for a bit" in the
evening. Inasmuch a. this ever
TRANSFERRED during the C Indian
excitement, it is probable that that par
ticuiar hen was seized with a panicy
streak about the time of the issue of
the reduced specimen.
STREET DRILL.-The National Guard,
commanded by Captain Hubbard, had
a drill pa rade on the street last evening
The corps presented a fine appearance
and their soldier-like department re-
hecied great credit upon the officers
and men. The boys honored the
SENTINEL Office and our military junior
each with three cheers as they passed.
We tip our sombrero in response To the
former and express our regrets that
tho Major was not at home to respond
in person to the complimentary re-
cognition of the military achievements
evinced by the latter.
Bold THEFr.-About IS bold q theft
AS We have heard OF for a long time
was perpetra,ed at the residence of
Doctor Bishop. For the purpose of
being busted u nearly new tliree-ply
carpet bad been hung out near the
house. In less than an hour it turned
up missing, and all efforts to ascertain
its whereabouts proved futile. The
Doctor offers a reward Of S25 for in
formation leading to its recovery. III 1t
were taken far some one must have
observed the thief on his march with
the stolen property.
EUREKA VS.. ELKo.-It seems that
this case Is not definitely settled yet.
The Court has granted Attorney Wren
additional time to file a statement for a
new hearing OF the case. Several
strong decisions in favor of our side OF
the case have been discovered, and there
can he no question that II the Supreme
Court becomes convinced that II erred
In it's recent decision it will not hesitate
to reverse the same. Such a conrse
would afford the highest evidence OF
the integrity of the Court.
CAPTAIN FoLEy's CABIN BURNT
Captain Foley informs us that his
cabin, including his library and many
other vaiuables, on the west side OF
Prospect mountain, was recently in his
absence totally destroyed by fire. The
