Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-08-02

Powell writes to headquarters in San
Francisco on July 25th, as follows:
We were yesterday visited by a water
spout or cloud-burst, almost as severe
as that of two years ago, but Fortunate
ly nc lives were lost in this place. No
material damage was done to Adams
Hill property; the lodging and board
ing house was for a time in great dan
ger of being washed away. The
water was about two feet deep on the
d floors and moved the clearinghouse
about two feet. The road near the
mine was washed out badly. No dam
age was done to the hosting works or
the mine, though it required b united
efforts of all the men to turn the water.
The mine and house are all on high
ground, and it would seem almost i'm
possible to reach them.
THE HAMBURG MINE.-An official
letter from the Superintendent to the
San Francisco Office, under date July
%, says: Shaft No. 7 south is now
down 81 feet, carrying the VEIN from
the surface to that depth. At So feet
we have drifted southerly in the ore

to ten feet wide, and an assay made
from what / considered a fair sample
gave, gold Sl10; silver, So. The Pacific
shaft, which is about 300 feet to the
north of the South shaft, is down 40
feet in a fine body of ore, which ap-
pears to be wide with a southeasteriy
dip. 1t is probably a continuation of
the vein found in the South shaft. The
prospects for getting a large quantity
Of ore is very encouraging.
The RICHMOND YIELD.-It affords
us much pleasure to be able to state
that the Richmond is one Of the most
productive mines in Eastern Nevada.
CHANGING over the Assessors books
yesterday we ascertained that the gross
yield for the quarter ending June Both,
was S2l5, 5S2, returning a net profit of
$50, 222 70. This was the result of less
than two months smelling, as
the furnaces were not all set
in motion until after the be-
ginning of May. With the pres
ent immense bodies of high grade ore
in the mine we may reasonably expect
still better results in the future.

column is a card from DR.. Rockman
relative to an item in yesterdays SEN
TINEL. We know nothing of the mer-
its of the controversy between the gen.
tlemen, but in justice to DIR. Bishop
will state bat the item referred to was
in no way instigated by him, but was
written and published of our own vo-
lition, from material gathered during
one of u diurnal reportorial raids.
This much we will state and leave the
more difficult question of surgery to
be decided by more competent per-
sons than ourselves.
MIxED.-He was an overland trav-
eler, and had got the names of things
slightly mixed; the precipitous noun
tains he had heard called ''palisades,"
and the MANTLE Indians had been des-
ignated by something like that word
i'm construction and sound; therefore
he easily stumbled when he attempted
to put on a show of much knowledge
i'm pointing out the curiosities: "Oh,
dear me! Look ere, Missus B.;
'ere's an Injun woman with a palisade
on 'er back, ye known"
CRIMINAL CASEs.-The District Court
will IN to-day the trial of Grim
inal cases. Besides Il number of indict-
ments for assault with intent to kill,
burglary, grand larceny, etc, there are
a dozen or so OF charges for obstruct-
ing the streets, to be disposed of, which
will probably occupy the Court for a
couple of weeks.

vance of a fraction over a dollar per
