Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-05-11
PENCIL AND PASTE

Says the Virginia Chronicle: John
Bird, an old Constocker, who has for
a long time been connected vii the
Eureka mill, dropped into the Chroni-
Gle office this morning to discontinue
his subscription. In explanation of
this extraordinary conduct Mr.. Bird
exhibited about thirty cents worth Of
gold dust lying in a scrap of paper
which he carried, and said it was the
result Of painful of dirt taken
from a claim which he had just Sc
cured in the Sierra somewhere. Mr..
Bird would not, of course, tell the To-
cality OF the rich diggings, but stated
that they were in the mountains be-
tween here and Lake Bigler. The only
drawback to the claim is the lack of
water, but this will be remedied, as a
man can afford to do considerable
fluming to catch thirty cents to the
pan. This Is decidedly better than
the Black Hills.
"Old Bailey" our darkey friend,
mounted his white mustang at Doc.
Benton's stable last night with the pi-
Gus and peaceful intention Of going
straight home. The bronco didn'.
agree with him; thought it was too
early in the evening, aud emphasized
its belief by bucking the old man off.
| The crowd which had quietly collected
just as If there'd been = special call for
a mass meeting, breatlied a sigh of dis
appointment when Baily hit the
ground with the top of his head, and
sadly dispersed. Ii is idle tn add that
he was not hurt.-Curson Tribune.
Who dispersed, Bailey or the crowd?
Dust, dust. dust everywhere, com
| plains the Oakland Neps, IN the par
lors, in the sitting room, in the led
| chambers, in dining-rooms and kitch-
en-, in the food, in the Office, in the
stores, among the flowers, covering
trees and shrubbery, spelling the
dresses of the ladies, and running the
temper of everybody. Oakland Is toe
handsome a city to have her charms
hidden with the dust that, Ikea vail, is
covering everything.
And yet Oakland should he blest;
for is she moi the home of Nevada's
eminent statesmen?
