OLD-FASHIONED MINING ITEMS
From a copy of the Universdlist Mag
azinc, 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 accounts from Washington
County, Missouri, Says the Lexington
Gazette) informs that a trading party
vas 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 RiUer. The guam
tity and richness of the mineral. af-
fords the most flattering prospects of a
very extensive mandatory of Silver
within the limits of the United State"
"An account of a Gold Nine is also
given in the Cheraw Intelligencer,
printed at 0eraw, s. C. which states
it to have teen 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 that the workmen
had already found Ore to the amount
of 81 .06S."
No STRIKE.-Referring to an item
recently published upon information
in the SENTINEL relative to a reported
strike in the Eel Dorado South mine at
Belmont, the Courier says: "If any
portion OF the above item from the
1 - Vs I'm II 10 fratn ruA nolIA ~.
| corner it. On the day previous to the
penning Of the item in question, tho El
Dorado South trustees levied an ASSESS
ment of 81 per share, the only strike"
that we know anything about. That
kind OF q ''strike" is not liable to create
much OF an "excitement or produce
much shelter times" except in put
ting in circulation q little coin that will
| pass through the hands Of employees
working for the company"

A CoLoRED DELEGATE.-Charles II
Prout, a colored man, was elected at
the primary yesterday . delegate to
theRepublican County Convention.
This is, we believe, the first instance
in the State, if not on the coast, where
a colored man has been chosen az a
delegate to a political convention. Mr..
Prout is an intelligent person., and the
Republicans OF Eureka have set an ex-
ample of consistency worthy OF imi-
tation by their brethren in other por-
tons Of the State in thus ignoring the
color line by giving the colored eie-
ment a representation in their council.
Nor TRUR.-A. G.. Cleveland and
Fred. Hart both deny that they cam
hereto manipulate the Republican Con.
vention in the interest of Powning for
Congress. Although we have fire.
q,iently heard it stated that such Was
the case, we purposely RETAINED from
commenting upon the subject for fear
that by so doing we might prejudice
the chances of John Henry King, who
expects u nomination upon tho indie
| pendent ticket for the same position,
and We are happy to be thus ems bled
authoritativety to denounce the report
As an Infamous copperi!ead falsehood.
TRANsrEKRgD.-The case OF J. NJ.
Mateer vs.. the ella Mining Company,
brought in Nye county, hrs been
transferred. on motion of plaintiff, to
the Ninth Circuit aud District Court oil
the United States, which means, we
suppose, that 1t Is to DO tried in San
Francisco. We know nothing Of the
merits of the cass.
AcKNowLED0NEyT. - The SENTI-
MEL gang acknowledge an invitation
to attend . social party to be given to-
morrow evening, At Odd Fellows
Hall. We are not positively advised
~ 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

County Convention from Ruby Hill:
