OLD-FASHIoNED MINING ITEMS
From a copy of the Universatist Mag
azine, printed in Boston more than
half = century ago. we extract the fol-
lowing mining items, which will
doubtless read somewhat curiOusly to
the mining sharps OF the present day.
The paper from which they are taken
is dated July S, 1923:
"Late from Washington
County, Missouri, (says b Lexington
Gazette) informs that a trading party
was forming to visit Santa Fee in Mex
leo. and also to open a SiLUer Nine,
that was discovered last Summer high
up on the arkansas River. The guam
tity and richness of the mineral, az
fords the most flattering prospects of a
very extensive mandatory of Silver
within the limits of the United State"
IAN account of a Gold Nine is also
given in the Cheraw Intelligencer.
printed at Ueraw, s.. C. which states
it 10 have been discovered in the
county of Arson, N. G. two miles
from Rocky River, and about IS miles
from that place. 1t is said the ore in
the crude state, is worth 81 cents the
pennyweight, and hat the workmen
had already found Ore to the amoun
of 81. 06S."
No STRIKE.-Refsrring to an item
recently published upon information
in the SENTINEL relative to a reported
strike in the Ell Dorado South mine at
Belmont, the Courier says: "If any
portion OF the above item from the
SENTINEL is true, we are unable to
corner it. On the day previous to the
penning Of the item in question, the kl
Dorado South trustees levied an assess
ment of 81 per share, the only strike"
that we know anything about. That
kind OF o .'strike" is not liable to create
much OF an "excitement" or produce
much "better tines" except in put
ting in circulation a little coin that will
pass through the hands OF employees
working for the company"
A CoLoRED DELEeATE.-Charles n.
Prout, a colored man, was elected at
the primary yesterday q delegate to
theRepublican County Convention.
| This is, we believe, the first instance
in the State, if not on the coast, where
a colored mar has been chosen as a
delegate to a political convention. Mr..
| Prout is All intelligent person, and the
Republicans of Eureka have set al
ample Of consistency worthy OF imi-
tation by their brethren in other por-
tions Of the State in thus ignoring tho
color line by giving the colored ele-
ment a representation in their council.
Nor TRUE.--A. q. Cleveland and
Fred. Hart both deny that they came
here to manipulate the Republican Con
vention in the interest of Powning for
Congress. Although we have fire.
quently heard it stated that such WAS
the case, we purposely refrained from
commenting upon the subject for fear
that by SO doing we might prejudice
the chances of John Henry King, who
expects a nomination upon the indie
pendent ticket for the Same position,
and we are happy to be thus enabled
au~thoritativety to denounce the report
AS an infamous ~copperl!ead falseh0od.
TRANsFEKREp.-The case Of J. NJ.
Natter VS.. the ella Mining Company,
brought in Nye county, Inns been
transferred. on motion Of plaintiff, to
the Ninth Circuit and District Court oil
the United States, which means, we
suppose, that it is to DO tried in San
Francisco. We know nothing Of the
merits Of the case.
ANNOUNCEMENT. = The SENTI-
f gang acknowledge an invitation
to attend . social party to be given to-
morrow evening, At Odd Fellows
Hall. We are not positively advised
as to the racket, but believe il is given
under the auspices of the young folks.
We will ascertain, however, to. morrow
evening.
RUBY HILL DELEGATEs.-The fol-
lowing named persons were yesterday
