TIE RESCUE.

In an item in yesterdays issue of
the SENTINEL, in relation to the recent
issuance of United States patents to
mining claims on this coast, an error
crept in regarding the name of the
mine of John Shoenbar, the energetic
operator of Silverado. The name of
the mine is the Rescue, and not the Eel
Dorado, as enormously printed. A
SENTINEL cOmpositor is responsible
for the mistake. In this connection
we may take occasion to congratulate
Mr.. Shoenbar upon his success in ac-
quiring the Government title so
speedily. His application went
through without a single hitch or
bobble, and now he is i'm a position to
expect immunity from vexatious law,
suits for all time to come. The prop
erty to which he has just received the
United States patent is one of the
most valuable in this section. After a
long, hard pull for more than three
years, Mr.. Shoenbar has got his mine
in excellent and paying shape. He is
down with the main incline something
over 250 feet, and the ledge at that
depth is rich and we'll defined. The
ore yields from $50 to $1,000 per ton,
though nothing that goes less than 800
is shipped for reduction. So far, the
ore product of the mine has been
worked at the Richmond Reduction
Works, though it is the present inten-
ton of Mr.. Sho6nbar to construct a
furnace of his own at the mine this
Fall. Another improvement projected
by the same gentleman is the sinking
of an artesian well in the valley ON
tiguous to his mines. The boring of the
well has already been commenced and
is to be continued without Intervention
until a flowing stream is struck. This
will admit of the mines of Silverado
and vicinity being wor ked much more
advantageously than now, as water, at
present, is the great desideratum in
that section. Mr.. Shoenbar has made
many substantial improvements on
his property in the shape Of buildings.
hosting works, etc, and we are truly
glad to learn that his efforts are being
crowned with such signal success.

MULES AND FLOODED STOCK.

The finest lot of mules and blooded
horses ever brought TO this section of
the State, purchased by w. l.. Pritch-
ard, on his recent visit to Missouri, are
now at Alpha. The mules, $50 in
number, were selected with the great
est car e, and are now enjoying a few
days rest prior to being put on the
road, the long railroad ride and drive
to Alpha, and the necessity of being
shod, incapacitaiing them from i'm
mediate service, and giving them an
opportunity of recuperating before be-
ing put in harness. The horses pur.
chased by Mr.. Pritchard are race
horse stock, and represent all the diff
ferent gaits. Their arrival will make
IL lively at the coming races of this
Summer and Fall. Several are to be
sent TO Battle mountain to TAKE a place
in the races To come off there next
week, and the entire stable will be
brought TO Eureka . o for the June
races over the Willows Course. One of
the horses, Flora, Il thoroughbred sor-
rel mare, is said TO be a marvel of swift
ness, aud those entering animals in
races with her will have to look to their
laurels if they intend to "bag" the
purse. Flush and Pedro, belonging to
the same stable, will toe in the pool and
endeavor to maintain their reputation.
Mr.. Pritchard has quite an establish
ment at Alpha; a track is being put in
condition for speeding his horses, and
all the necessary equipments requisite
to a private stable aud race track is to

A Birs1s Charity.

Last summer a pair of robin red
breasts built their Fest in the vicinity
% o fashionable country boarding
house. In due time the heads of
four young robins were observed by
some of the bosrders peering above
the sides of the nest, when some
thougbtless boys passing that way
shot both the parent birds and left
the young ones to perish.
The ladies and gentlemen, moved
to pity by the bspless condition Of
the poor birds, were devising plans
for their relief, when q little brown
wren few to the nest, surveyed the
unfortunate state of affairs for q mo-
meDt and then disappeared. In a
few minutes it returned, bearing food
Of some kind for the starving robins.
Much surprised at this, the humane
sympsthizers resolved to await fur
Their Developments before proceeding
to put their plans of relief into oper-
alton, and were delighted to find the
wren had in real good earnest assum-
ed the car of that orphan family.
With untiring energy it hunted
worms aud food Of such kind as was
10 the wants and tastes Of its pro-
teges, and continued its kindly Offices
until the robins were full fedged and
able to take care of themselves.
Strange as this story may appear,
we have it from the most undoubied
authority, aud submit the question
whether reason or instinct was the
governing power with that kind heart
ed, motberly little wren.
