The Point AT Issue.

The StIcer State has gathered the fol
lowing regarding the point at issue in
our great suit. Under date of the 10Th
instant it says: "Col. Ii. /. Thornton
passed through last evening on his way
from Eureka to San Francisco. He is
one Of the counsel in the great mining
suit between the Eureka Consolidated
and the Richmond mining companies.
We learn from him that the issue in
volved in the suit is simply whether
there is one ledge OF a series of lodges
in the mines above named. The Eu-
reka Consolidated Company allege that
there is n lead traceable through
Ruby Hill, while the Richmond Com
pany assert that there in a series of
lodges in the ground claimed by the
contestants, and that the ore body in
dispute is on a separate and distinct
lead from the Eureka Consolidated. A
great many experts, some of the most
noted in the United States, have been
examining the mines, and upon their
opinions and testimony the case hinges.
Professor Raymond says there is but
one ledge and hat it Is as we'll defined
as the Comstock. The case is to be
tried in the United States Circuit Court
at San Francisco"

The ROslin Furnace.

The old Roslin shaft furnace stands
like a monument up the canyon, and
its form and construction is about all
the evidence that we have left Of the
early smelling operations in this
camp. AS compared with n of III
huge furnaces of the present day, its
proportions are very small and smelt-
ers smile at the crude work done
when it was erected. 1t has not been
in operation for five years, and the
buildings and machinery surround
ing it have been torn down and re-
moVqd.

Mr.. o. c. Fall, an old-time Eurekan,
recently secured a lease of the Kellogg
mine, owned by Messrs. Barnes, Hill
house and others, and since that time
has struck a fine body of high grade
ore. The mine has not been worked
to my great extent, but Mr.. Fall ex'
poets in a few weeks to develop the
property and prove the continuity OF
the vein. The ore extracted assays up
in the hundreds, and is very easily re-
duced. We see no reason why the
mine should not become a permanent
and valuable property. 1t will be re-
membered that the Rescue mine,

to the Kellogg, yielded a handsome
profit during the time it vas worked

Communicated
CHAIRMAN ELLIOTT'S CARD.

EDITOR SENTINEL: l notice in your
paper of the 10th instant a commune
cation from Mr.. Elliott, Chairman OF
the Richmond Consolidated Mining
Company of London Qimited). With
reference to the defense which Mr.
Elliott seems called upon to make of
the management OF the affairs of his
company beyond the Atlantic, l have
nothing to say, but to that portion of
his card which every sensible man
must admit is a fragrant and deliDer-
ate insult to the cherished institutions
OF this country, l desire, as an Ameri-
can citizen, to enter a most solemn
protest. Following is the language of
Mr.. Elliott to which l object:
"The reports of the the ten days
proceedings, as reported in the Eureka
SENTINEL which has recently arrived,
reveal an amount of infamous treach-
cry AMI ~uuscrupulous evidence which
is $ a%r,lulg even for America, and
proves Chat We must be prepared for a
vitality Important, long and expen-
sive contest to defend and retain our
property from the frauds attempted
and robbery contemplated"
Putting aside every issue involved
in the suit, l submit that Mr.. Elliott's
contemplate fling al this country, and
his gratuitous insults of the gentlemen
who appeared on the witness stand,
constitutes an otfense which should
not be passed in silence, and which
can not be excused or palliated on any
other ground than that of the most
pitiable ignorance of the subjects treat
ed. "Even for American" Indeed.
Can the gentleman, or any u for
him, name the case, time or place,
when aliens were not granted all of
the rights and privileges accorded to
our own citizens in the Courts of
Justice in this country. And when he
talks about ''unscrupulous evidence"
from men like Messrs. Keyes, Corri-
gan, Read, Donnelly, Luckhardt,
Mette, Goliath and a host of other
creditable witnesses, he simply writes
himself down a 'blarsted" ass and
%vilifier, meriting only the contempt of
honest men. The Richmond has no
right to complain of its treatment
in the courts of this country.
1t is on precisely the same footing as
our American companies, and is as
certain of a full and fair hearing, and
equal and exact justice, in the pending
litigation, as though every share of its
stock were owned by natives of the
soil; and no n knows this better
than Chairman Elliott. But finding
it necessary to cover up his own short
colnings with his company at home he
proceeds to hurl a wicked and mali
cious SANDER at the men and institu-
tons Of this country. Out on the SLAM
derous Cuttlefish. AMERICAN.

The Troubles Of q Drummer.

The drummer law is causing the
agents and solicitors a great deal of
trouble, and some of them resort to
"ways that are dark" to get rid of the
necessity of disbursing the coin to pro-
cure a license. A case was on trial
yesterday in the Justice Court, in
which the agent of a wholesale house
at the Bay was charged with attempt
ing to defraud the revenue and evade
its provisions. 1t seems that the agent
declined procuring a license, contend.
ing that he was not soliciting orders,
but simply on a collecting tour. He
left on Thursday mornings stage for
Austin, and Sheriff Sias, who had been
informed that he had taken orders in
town, started in pursuit and overhaul
ed the stage at the Willows. An attempt
was made to compromise matters, but
the agent finally concluded TO accom-
pany the Sheriff back to town and
stand a trial. Procuring counsel he
set up the defense hat he had not sold
any goods, and brought into court a
half dozen of our prominent mer.
chants to prove that fact, but his
Honor, after hearing the testimony,
thought otherwise and fined him fifty
dollars and costs. An appeal was
taken from the decision and a bond
filed. We presume the appeal will not
be heard until after the decision in the
test case now on trial in Carson, and, if
the law is sustained, will be Withdrawn
and the fine and costs paid. 1t is bet
ter to follow the example of the drum
mers-who have paid their money for
license under protest-the same to be
returned if the law should prove un-
constitutional. Our worthy Sheriff is
very jealous in the duties of his office,
and will not stand any nonsense.
