wages. This IS an error n was PROP
ably a slip of the SENTINEL writer's
pen. The reduction asked by Mr.. Cur
tbs would amount to about forty tents
per day from each miners daily four
dollars, at the present rate of discount
on bullion. If bullion were to go up,
then the reduction in wages would be
decreased proportionately. To reduce
the miners wages forty per cent.
would be to decrease them nearly one
half, and nobody could expect the men
to stand that.-ReUeitte.
Such was our understanding when
we wrote the item, and if n other
impression was conveyed by our Ian.
guage it was the result of a tapsus cal
ami.
THE TUsCARoRA STRIKE.-We are
informed that the rich strike reported
at ~Cornucopia was made at Tuscorora,
and is known as the East Extension of
the Convis lode, a lode running nearly
east and west across the De Frees
mine. 1t is named "The Grand
Prize" Tuscarora Is situated thirty
miles south from Cornucopla, and
shows many fine mines, among which
are the De Frees, Young America,
Young America North and South *
tensions, Navajo, Howe, Hornet, Grand
Deposit and Grand Prize, the latest
rich discovery. The latter shows ore
equal to the famous Eberhardt mine of
White Pine. in its palmiest days. This
district bids fair to be second to none
on the coast.
DULL TIMEs.-The prevalence of the
moral epidemic still exists in Eureka,
and the Police Court, for reportorial
purposes, is getting to be as useless as
a debating club. There hasn't been a
criminal charge entered since the
Fourth, and unless there is an improve
ment in this condition of things Justice
Beatty tb reatens to remove his Office
to McGeary district. Won't some chap
end this moral hiatus by smashing
somebody's snoot and getting nabbed
by some member of our police force?
HOME AGAIN.-Mrs. Geo. NJ. Payne
and little Mabel, wife and daughter of
the SENTINEL's tall compositor, arrived
on last nights train from the East.
They left here about foul months ago
on a visit to Mrs. Payne's relatives
nea Louisville, Kentucky. Although
highly pleased with their trip to the
thither side of the Rocky hills, they
express themselves equally glad to get
back to the Base Range.
For TYBo.-The Phoebe Record of
the 10th has this item: f. McAvoy
leaves to-day with his wagon for Typo
and will be absent about eleven days.

that place. We are sorry to lose the
Doctor, al during his short residence
amongst as he has made many friends
by his urbanity and kindness to all,
especially to his patients.

wonderful and indicate the Professors
