Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-10-06
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FA1a.-The

IAE Thu ALT
rafting for prizes at this fair, now in
progress, will come off on Monday
and Tuesday evenings. 1t will be con-
Quoted on the plan of the cart Union"
For the benefit of those who may not
understand the plan, We will try and
explain it in a few words, viz: Each
purchaser of a chance for any article
to be ratified selects a given number to
represent that chance. A box is pro-
cured and numbers corresponding to
the number of chances sold are placed
in this box-after it is carefully exam
ined by some persons present. A child
is biindfolded, who draws from the
box. after it is well shaken, one mum.
Der: then the box is again shaken,
and another number drawn, after
which it is again shaken and tho third
number called and declared the win
ming number. Thus, for example, a
tea-set is to be ratified; there are 200
chances, or mum uers, representing
such; $50 we will suppose sold, so re-
manning unsold. Two hundred slips
of paper, Nos. /. 2, 3, etc., up to 200,
are selected. The numbers represent
ing the chances sold are put into the
box, and the numbers representing
chances unsold are carefully left out.
The drawing then takes place after the
manner above stated. The ladies will
be thankful to any one who will fur
nish them with a better, more easy
and fairer plan. COMMITTEE.
TRADE DOLLARS. - Trade dollars
still form a part OF the circulating me-
dunn of Eureka, though they are III
of circulation in other portions of the
State and are no longer legal money.
This is probably accounted for by the
fact that they have always passed at
par here, in small sums, thus offering
40 indiucemeDt for their purchase on
speculation for shipment to San Fran
cisco. In the western part of the
State, owing to the large number of
trade dollars in circulation and the
then deprecated price OF silver, they
cams to be looked upon with dislike
and distrust, thus giving an opportu-
nifty 10 spectators to depress their
price SO that they could buy them up.
They bought large quantities at ninety

highest figure at which they We're
taken by the stores and saloons, though
their actual value in silver was over
~ hundred ca.ats. The coins thus
purchased were sent to San Francisco
for shipment to China, and so many of
them have been so exported, and their
coinage on private account having lie n.
stopped, that there are now but com
paratively few trade dollars on the Pa
citic coast.
GOING ELECrIoNEEKING. j. Sias,
Republican candidate for Sheriff, and
Hank Knight, the nominee of the
same party for County Assessor,
started out into the country this morn
ing, on an ~electioueering trip. They
are going out among the ranchers,
wood : choppers and coal burners to
show themselves. They will drink
with the men. tlatter The IN and
kiss the children. Sias travels OH his
good looks and Hank expects to i'm
press the voters with his conversational
pow ers.
DEPRESSED. - Mining stocks are
down in the mouth. Instead Of the
ex pected Fall rise the Fall fall SEEM
TO have set in. 1t ought to be a good
time to buy stocks cheap. but possibly
they may be cheaper in a few days.
The sales Of Grant" Pleasant View,
Centennial, Coniuentaldamn, etc, in
the American Mining Board of New
York. don't seem To have helped the
San Francisco market n particle.
SUMNER CLorHEs.- Although the
melancholy days have come and five
days of the month of October have
passed and gone, linen coats and straw
hats are still seen in the land, and are
about the most comfortable garments
that can be worn during the daytime.
After the sun goes down, however,
Nature is taken with a sudden chill.
LIS the prettiest kind of weather-for
taking a sudden cold.
REICHTER's CONDITION.. - Reichter,
the man kicked in the head by a horse,
in Snyder's stable, last Wednesday
night, vas rational and resting easy
yesterday. DR.. Bishop thinks there is
a strong probability OF the mans re-
covery, If inflammation of the brain
does not set in, though the skull was
crushed in a frightlul manner.

A cog of a pinion at the Eureka Con
solidsted hosting works broke night
