Our New Advertisements.

We were so crowded last week, particularly with our two columns of important telegraphic dispatch es. that we did not have room to call special attention to our new advertisements, but we will do it now, even If it should crowd out telegram or two. There is that column advertisement of that whole-seuled merchant, Col. James M. Barney, who is now sole proprietor, and as such is "going it alone" Read it, and if you want the best of goods, at wholesale, you can buy them cheaper of him than you can do it yourself, in San Francisco. For. warding and Commission are parts of his extensive business, and through his house you can have your business done, in dis tant places, cheaper and better, in many cases, than you can do it yourself, and through him and his gentlemanly attaches, every thing is done "on the square,"
 Then you will find "Paul Web CT, Attorney-at-Law," at Mineral Park, Mohave county "Cau- tion," by John D. Sibbald "Sink- ing Fund of Yuma county j" Re- demption of General Fund War rants;" "Delinquent Fund No- tice ;" and last, though not least, where you can buy "Fine Poul- try and Eggs" In short, read the SENTINEL, advertisements and all, and you will find many things that you will like to know.

YESTERDAY Mir. l.. J. F. Ieager showed us a telegram, stating that the "Silver King" mine had been sold to parties in San Francisco, for two hundred thou sand dollars. We also saw letters to the same effect. This we con- sider an excellent operation for both sellers and purchasers, and shows that competent parties who have seen the rich mines in Ari- zona, have the confidence to in- vest in them. They will reap a rich harvest.

ANECDOTES ABOUT SrELLERs. - IL
Dogberry, instead Of asserting that "to

A local wit tells story OF Senator

" Where did you look ?" inquired n
friend and, taking the dictionary from
the puzzled Senator'S hands, he found
that he had been hunting for the word
among the "fs," as if was spoiled "Gz."
Quite as funny thing occurred the
other day. A prominent member of
Congress, representing one Of tho largest
States in the Union, and one Of tho larg-
est cities, who is the chairman of one the
most important committees in the House,
and has charge Of some Of the most inn
portant bills, wrote n note of recommen-
dation for the appointment Of "a young
man to an office. And the note began
with tho following clause, spelled in this
way

This is no freak of Imagination but an
actual fact.

A STOCK ROMAN CE.

Dennis McNabb was the porter in

street. Dennis swept out and busted

and in the winter made that fire which is
totally unnecessary in our wonderful
climate, but which every body insists up
on having about tour months in the year,
just to remind them of the States. Dem

his salary was only $40 Il week, and when

down-troddcn indeed. Blu; Dennis had
heard of Wilmington and Franklin and
John Mccullough, and other great men,
and SO he worked patiently on, washing
the spittoons, taking round assessment
notices, listening at the board room key
holes, and bidiug his timo gonemlly.--
Patience and trugality brings its own re-
ward, and ono day Dennis heard tho
President read n telegram from tho Su-
perintendent upon the lode. They had
struck pay rock at last. That night
Donnis dritted round and conferred awhile
with McCarty, who keeps tho saloon at
the corner. Thcn ho had whisper or
two with lloolihan, who made \ few dol

had also something to say to O'Flynn,

Tho next morning the Secretary of tho
