THE EUREKA SENTINEL entered on
its 18th volume on the I'd OF the pres
emit month. 1t IS to-day one of the
best, if not the best paper in Eastern
Nevada. Its news columns are always
we'll filled, its editorials well written,
and its local department first class. In
saying this we are stating an opeI and
apparent fact; and the only harm that
we wish the SENTINEL. is that il may

THE MASQUERADE. - Mr.. Bigelow
requests us to say that no improper
characters will be admitted to the mas
querade ball on Christmas night. A
committee of leading citizens will be
in attendance to lift the masks and
identify all persons who may enter the
hall. There will also be in attend.
ance an efficient police force to pre-.
serve order and to aid in denying sd.
mittance to all Objectionable persons
that may put in an appearance. Mrs.
Taylor, of San Francisco, the celebrat-
ed costumer, will arrive here to. NOR
row; after which date parties desiring
costumes a be accommodated. The
masquerade, from all we hear about it,
is destined 10 be the leading social
event of the season. There is nothing
in the social line in Eureka more pop.
ular than a well conducted bal masque.

A London dispatch to the SENTINEL
yesterday quoted silver at 81 pence rer
ounce, the highest price reached in
something like one year. This Is
equivalent to about 81 25in our money.
We believe the advance is not
only permanent, but that still higher
figures will be realized. If our pre-
diction be correct, a powerful impetus
ought to be impaired to silver produce
ton In Nevada. The European COM
pli%cati0ns, we think, are especially ia
vorable to a still further advance in
the bullion market. Our own Govern
ment is also likely to require sums
within the next year. All things con-
sidered, therefore, we expect in the
near future to witness the most pros
porous times eve known in the silver
mines. There can be no mistake
whatever about this. Mark u word,
that the coming season will show a
marked improvement, and IN less than
two years every promising prospect in
the State will be eagerly sought at
round figures. Eastern Nevada has
hundreds of good properties that will
pass into the hands of capitalists al
most before we know it. A promising
silver claim is about rs good a piece Of
property as one can have these days.
1t will bring grand cash ere long.

ALARM OF FIRE.-At about 3o'clock
yesterday afternoon an alarm of fire
was sounded, and soon the vicinity Of
Clark and Buel streets were alive with
people. The firemen were promptly
out with their machines but FORUM
ately their services were not needed.
The alarm was occasioned by a strong
volume Of smoke shooting up from
between the G. P. Brewery and the
store of W. =. Haskell q Co. The
timely application OF a few buckets of
water e%xtinguished the incipient con-
hagration. Just how the fire started
we did not ascertain, but suppose it
was produced by sparks from a stove.
pipe. Everybody should make it a
point to see that his pipes and stoves
and roof plates are in the best possible
condition. Precaution is the main
thing in lumber towns like this.
Don't fail to inspect your pipes this
identical day. 1t costs nothing and
may be the means of saving the town.

sunny south Winter,

While our northern and western
friends are showed up or crouching
over fires, we are now enjoying the
brightest and mildest weather. People
could sit on their front porches on
SUNDAY night in the moonlight and
almost fancy il was summertime. The
air retains it's bracing properties how
ever and there is none of the damp
ness which suggests rheumatism and a
general moisture. We look for u great
er number OF persons coming to Dali
las or San Antonio to winter hereafter,
when the mildness and salubrity (bar-
ing the occasional northers) are famil-
lar to the outside barbarians.
