BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

In a series of biographical sketches
of the members of the present State
Legislature being published in the
Reno State Journal, the SENT1NEL's
senior is biographical thusly: "Mr.
Cassidy, editor and part proprietor of
the Eureka Sentinel, was born in Ken
lucky and is sc years Of age: by occu.
patton an editor and in politics a Lib
eral Democrat. He emigrated from
California to Nevada in 1857 for the
first time, but did not settle nerma-
nently until 1861, when he took up his
abode at Gold Hill, working in the
mines. Mr.. Cassidy has done every
thing, from editing a daily newspaper
up to driving a bull team. He has
been a miner, teamster, livery-sta-
BILE keeper, cattle drover, lawyer, ac-
countant, siock-broker, hotel-keeper,
conveyancer, stage-driver, rancher and
sc OF through the list. Has followed
most of the mining excitements on this
coast during the past eighteen years;
bla=ed trails, fought Indians and
turned his hand generally to whatever
presented itself. Did the smartest
thing of his life when he got married"

low the outcrop, a depth at which the
mines on the great western fiSstlre
were far from Icing promising. The
writer Of this has . vivid recollection OF
q conversation he had ut White Pine,
in the Summer Of 1868, with the Rev.
A. +. White, then our State Mineral
ogist. That gentleman expressed HIM

Comstock mines were then looking

ing depopulated ct an early date, and
it was important that the people hould
have a place to which they could
migrate. Those days Of shadow Ant
doubt are remembered now only as
indistinct dreams of the night, but ut
the time they were veritable storm-
clouds and bowling tempests to scores
Of e who, with astonishing nerve
and per~sistency, continued 10 put down
deep shafts, encouraged alone by that
almost invincible something we term
~ miners faith"
In favor of our Ruby Hill mines it
ought also to be remembered that not
a single assessment has been levied on
any n OF them. Ifthe Eureka Con-
solidated and x Il companies have not
paid veiy large dividends, they have.
ut least, taken nc money from the
Pockets of the shareholders. On the
Phenix and Jackson claims ASSESS
ments have been levied, but these are
not properly on Ruby Hill, but off to
the eastward a little on the most north
erly point Of Prospect mountain. The
Richmond mine has yielded pay-ore
almost from the time Of its discovery,
and, althouh it has cost its present
owners a high price, they are receiving
in dividends a liberal interest thereon.
II, at times, the ore in our principal
mines has become scarce and the de-
lighted prophet of coming disaster
thought he had a call to make the fact
widely known, the has usually
been found in aneglect to keep the ex-
ploring ahead Of the extracting work.
The necessity for constant exploration
is now so we'll understood that are is
taken to avoid the evils resulting from
its neglect. As the result of we'll d.
rected work during the past Summer,
the ore in sight is now richer in quail
ty and aggregates more abundant in
quantity than at any previous period of
u mining history. The question as
to the permanency of our mines may.
therefore, for these and other reasons
about to he stated, be safely answered
in the affirmative.
In u next issue we will give anoth-
or article on this subject.

SpRINGFIELD DIsTRlCT.--This district
is situated on the west side Of Monitor
valley in Nye county, about 3o miles
from Belmont. The Sheba ledge is
twelve feet in thickness and is traced
on the surface a distance of more than
1850 feet. A shaft has been sunk
upon it to a depth Of 80 feet, with a tun-
mel along the foot-wall, q distance OF
100 feet. Mining experts claim that
the Sheba shows a better average and
a wider ledge than the 2 G mine at
Typo. The ore is base, with metals
sufficient to furnish fiux for its treat
ment in a furnace. The Belmont
Courier, speaking of the district, says:
"Were Springfield Mining District
adjacent to O enterprising mining
localities it wouldn't be allowed to lie
dormant a great while. Capitalists in
San Francisco and Eureka have an
eye on the property, and will, in all
probability, before long, secure the OPP
portunity offered"

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5.
This forenoon, shortly before twelve
o'clock, an elderly man named Geo.
Sarze, better known among his friends
as "Le TurcO," was struck on the
head with a Ratchet, in the hands of
Mateo Crasillo, in the fruit store at the
corner of Fourth and market streets.
CrasillO, who was married a few
months since to a young lady who had
been introduced to him by Sarze,
gained information that Sarze was cir
culating slanderOus reports concerning
his wife. He met him in the fruit
store and asked what he meant by cir
~culating such reports. Sarze, instead
of making a reply, it is said, presented
a revolver at the head of Crasillo, who
picked up a Ratchet and struck Sarze
on the head with it, producing a Sc
we're wound. Crasillo was arrested by
Officer kearns, but as vet no charge
has been preferred against him.

LEGISLATIVE t

AS will be seen by reference to our
Carson dispatches, Eureka already
figures quite largely in the business OF
the Legislature. The bill ceding a
strip of Elko to this county, which
was vetoed by the Governor at the
close of the last session, has been
made the special order for next Mon
day. Unless under the rules it re-
CURED the unanimous consent of the
members to consider it yesterday, the
action of the Senate would indicate
favorably for the success of the bill in
that body, as it deferred its considera-
ton in opposition to the wishes of its
enemies. Mr.. Cassidy has given no.
tice of bills for funding or bonding
the Indebtedness of Eureka county,
and also for increasing it's representa-
ton in the Legislature. These are all
matters of importance to the interests
of the people Of our county, and the
members exhibit commendable zeal in
getting their work under way at this
early period of the session.

The Black Measles in Alaska.

The Alaska Herald, which Is printed
and published at San Francisco, gives
some details of the frightful ravages Of the
black measles in Alaska. The particulars
we're obtained from L. Sheeran, late col
lector of customs at Kodiak, Alaska, who
says that the disease has not been pre-
yiously known at Kodiak, but a few years
ago was prevalent in Sitka, and also at
Unga and Belkofsky. The number OF
deaths the present season is as follows; At
Kodiak, 4G; Woody Island, 30; Afognak,
20; Allovia, 10; Eagle Harbor and Kollu-
dok, TO- At last advices, June 16, the
disease had disappeared from st. Paul,
Eagle Island and Afognak, but was still
raging at Eagle Harbor. Yet to hear from,
on the Island of Kodiak, the villages of
Koquiak, Iatalik and Karluka, in all of
which places the disease is known to have
made its appearance. To the want of
medical assistance and the ignorance o.
the people as to proper treatment is at
tributed to the extreme fatality of the
disease. The natives paid little attention
at first to the advice given them by the
whites. After the consequences Of i'm
prudence and neglect had demonstrated
the wisdom of their white friends, they
became more prudent, and met the disease
with better chances of successful resist
ance. In Eagle Harbor there was at one
time six corpses in the church awaiting in
terment, with scarcely enough well persons
Gin a total population of POO to perform
the last offices. But few children died,
and most of those who succumbed to the
disease we're persons previously more OF
less debilitated, large proportion being
