Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-09-07
THE R GUN.

THE FIRST GUN,
AS noted else where, the first de-
tachment under Major Dennis and
Captain Kelly left here at about 11:3O
A. NJ. Our special war correspondent,
who goes u with the expedition I'M
der strict instructions to keep his head
quarters in the saddle, fires his first
gun at the readers of the SENTINEL
from Pinto. He hasn't commenced
yet to use heavy ordnance, but we
shall expect him to throw in hot shot
and Greek fire just as SOC as the con-
test begins to grow interesting. Fol-
lowing is the ~projectile thrown back
from the first halt for breath and
lunch:
Fort TAYLOR pinto, 1870 p. NJ.
Detachment all i'm good health.
Tested the ability of the commissary
department, which was found in full
campaign working order and able to
satisfy all demands. Gained one re-
cruit, armed cap q pie, and will press
Elm in to the front. Troops anxious
to meet the enemy. HERRIcK.
FROM HAMTLToN.--Jas. T. Mathew
o came over from Hamilton yester-
day, and we understand that his bust
ness is to procure ammunition, the sup
ply in Hamilton being very limited.
He brings many rumors of the ad-
vance of the Indians, but most of them,
we presume, are rumors only, like the
thousand and one reports that have
t,rAv, An~ - I.4uN g.. 49, l-rk
forty hours. He reports having met
the Eureka troops at short intervals
between here and Pancake mountain,
ly eager for the fray. 1t is thought
that the detachment commanded by
Major Dennis and Captain Kelley
pressed through to Hamilton last
night. There are picked men, and may
be expected to render a good account
of themselves, If the opportunity is
offered.
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs BALL-The
members Of Beatifc Lodge No. Z,
Knights of Pythias, have resolved to
give their first anniversary ball on the
evening of the Dist instant. We are
assured that it is to be a grand affair.
grander indeed than anything of the
kind ever given in these parts. The
programme, including a full list of the
committees, will appear in the adver-
Using columns of the SENTINEL within
a day or two.
DARWIN CITY.-The Phoebe Journal
OF the 4th says: From a letter ra-
ceived yesterday by Xiv Phillips from
Hon. Thos. w. Wallace, who is now
sojourning at Darwin City, we learn
that it promises to be a very lively
camp. Many people are running in
there, and those in quest of work are
promptly furnished it in the mines.
San Francisco capitalists have the ut
most confidence as to its becoming a
Comstock.
OPINION OF GENERAL RosEcRANs.
General Rosecrans, who resides at
Egan Canyon, where he is engaged in
mining enterprises, telegraphs that be-
yond question the present Indian
troubles in Eastern White Pine are in
stigated and promoted by the Mormon
priesthood. We don't know upon
what the General bases his opinion,
but it is quite probable that he has
good reason fer all he states.
WANT GUNs.-UncIe George Thach-
err, who is doing business at Cherry
Creek, telegraphed to his partner here
yesterday for a Henry rifle and a sup
ply of ammunition. Judge Wren, in at
tendance at the District Court at Ham,
ilton, also sent over for a shooting
iron. His telegram was to Judge
Baily for a medium sized six shooter.
The aforesaid shooter goes over by this
mornings stage.
READY FOR THE FRAY.--Pinto sends
word that she has ten able bodied
men ready for active duty in the field,
should their services be required in
quelling the Indians in White Pine.
That is "a fair quota for Pinto, consider
ing that the total population of the
place does not amount to more than
twenty.
WooD HAULERs.-Joe Mendes gives
notice to-day that he wants to contract
for the hauling of from one to five
hundred cords of wood from the head
of New York canyon to the mouth of
the ame For full particulars, make
inquiries at Joe's saloon.
The PARsoN.-The Carson Appeal
has this to say of parties well known
in this community: "Parson Kelly and
his family have returned from their
junketing at Lake Bigler. They have
entirely recovered from the recent pit
iful assaults of Vari O'Loid."
ENTRIES TIC CLosE.-We are request
ed to say that the entries tor the races
over the Willows Course, next Friday
and Saturday, will close tonight, at
Luther Clark's Palace Saloon. Per-
IONS who have fast nags to enter should
be on hand with their coin.
SToCKs.-The California, or Little
Board of stock brokers, resumed busi-
ness yesterday. Our San Francisco
dispatches give a few quotations, show
ing something Of ruling rates for lead
ing shares. 1t does not appear that
stocks are liable to 90 much lower.
