SHOSIIONE SPORTS.
Judging from alively game ofIndian
poker, which was running all day yes
terday in the rear of the SENTINEL
Office, we should infer that our Sho-
shone brethren are less affected by the
hard times and the tightness of the
money market than any class of peo-
pie in the community. There were at
least a hundred dollars, all in silver, on
the board, Or rather blanket, and the
players tossed their trade dollars into
the center as though they were pine
nuts, and with the grace and noncha-
lance of first-class sports. Every once
in a while a Disguised Lo, whose
streak OF luck was running across the
grain, would throw his cards over his
shoulder and call for a new deck.
Coarse pairs rated at from two to three
dollars. The game commenced five
handed, but the players one by one
dropped out after depositing their lit
tie dabs, until it came down to a sim
gle handed contest between "Pinto
jim" and al notwithstanding citizen
from Duck Creek. Fortune alternated
for a while between the two, until
finally Jim picked no what he sup
posed to be an Indian %invincible, upon
which he chucked up his last splitter,
which was promptly covered by the
gentleman from the rural district, who
showed down his hand and raked in
the amalgam. Tying mp the silver
in a leg OF an old pair of
our Seniors pants, which had
been thrown out OF the back door,
the fortunate winner betook himself to
the nearest butcher shop, where he
in vested two short bits in q shin OF
beef, with which he stallxed away to
his campoody on the hill, without ex-
tending TO the hungry losers an invita-
ton to dine or vel asking them to
take q drink.
MILL IN PINE VALLEy.-We under
stand, says the Elko Independent of the
10Th, from parties who are posted, that
some San Francisco capitalists are
about to erect a large quartz mill in
Pine valley in this county; in fact, the
same has already been contracted for,
w WOIN tIt VIZ ~ 10 pW DCinS
extracted from a mine in that locality.
The machinery will all he first-class,
OF the NEST approved pattern, and will
be equipped with all the modern i'm
provements and appliances necessary
TO a successful reduction of ores,
whether free or rebellious. There are
a number OF promising locations in
that Wellington the other side of the
mountain from Railroad district
which are acknowledged to he of con
siderable merit, and this will give the
owners of them an opportunity to have
the ores produced by their claims
thoroughly sampled and tested. We
are on all occasions pleased to record
such evidences of prosperity as the
above, not only upon the principle
that they tend to develop our mineral
resources, but also for the reason that
each and every improvement of a sub
sianiial character adds to our list IF
taxable property. In this instance
about 500 900 will be the amount of
The increase.
Ell DORADO SoUTH.-We notice by
the San Francisco Stoc Report that an
assessment of 81 per share has been
levied on the stock of the Ell Dorado
South at Belmont. This is a pretty
heavy assessment upon stock which
was last quoted ut 81 so per share; at
leas. that's what some of the compost
tors in the SENTINEL Office think who
have invested "A considerable number
OF their surplus trade dollars in the
racket.
GONE IioME.-Judge Henry Rives,
having finished up all of the pressing
business in the District Court, left this
morning in the stage for Phoebe. Dnr-
ing the time he Mas here he was very
industrious and transacted u large
amount of business, and he left be
hind him q very general impression
that the people OF Lincoln county were
exceedingly fortunate in their selection
OF a judge.
BAD RoAp.-Fred. Fiske got a tele-
gram yesterday from a teamster who
started out from here some time ago
for Phoebe. lie says the flat at White
river is covered with water and the
road is impossible across it. His
wagon is sunk in the inire and he
don't expect TO get on hard ground for
several days.
SENTENcED.-Yesterday, in the Dis
trict Court, Chas. Chapman and All
Luna, each of whom had plead guilty
to charge of burglary, were sentenced,
