A Horseback Rencounter.

couple of horsemen who lad been in.

strong, and whose combative propen-

their l~ibations, iDaugurated a cavalry
battle IN the immediate vicinity Of the

whenever the horses could be brought
near enough, pummeled away vigor-
ously at each other. They fought the
road over for a distance of a quarter of
a mile and back, meantime calling

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
RUBY HILL, July 26, 49,


EDITOR SENTINEL: Now that the
Chinese question is looming up again
in the San Francisco riots, it may not
be ou of place TO try and find some
method by which this question may
be settled. Every one has his own
idea on the subject, but apparently the
right one has not yet been advanced.
1t is generally admitted, at least on the
Pacific Coast, that the presence of the
Chinese among us is an evil. So, also,
Is it admitted throughout the civilized
world that the liquor traffic is an evil;
and as such it is treated by Legislat-
ures. Restrictions are laid upon it
that are not placed or any other traffic,
and l believe that under the prohibit
ton law each State has the right to
-say by a two-thirds vote of the people
whether the liquor traffic shall exit in
that State or not. Now l think that is
just the way the Chinese question
should be treated. 1T New York, or
Pennsylvania, or any other State, want
Cinnamon, why, for Gods sake, let
them have them; but if California, or
%Nt oOCo hob "dhi ltb III
majority say so, and have the power
vested in the Legislature to get rid of
what are here and stop more from
coming. At present it is a National
question, but l think it ought to be
made a State question:; but how to
make it so | am no: statesman enough
to point out. The present treaty with
the Chinese Empire would have to be
abrogated that should be done any
how and another one substituted.
But If another treaty could not be sat-
isfactorily concluded, so much the
better, for i contend that it would be
infinitely better to lose all the advant-
ages in trade we may possess through
that treaty than to have our cities over
run with prostitutes and hoodlums;
and i think no one will dispute that
o prostitutes are made by reason
Of the inability of women to obtain sit
nations or to compete with the China
men than any other one thing. And
what chance is there for our boys to
learn a trade, or to get almost any
kind of employment as long as these
pests are among us? And in most
cases if a boy is not employed he will
turn out a hoodlum, sure. / make
these suggestions because / have never
seen this idea advanced, aud if it should
be the right one, take it up and sail in.
T. w. u.
1.-THE treaty-making power is lodged
in the Federal Government, and to
render practicable the theory adj
vanced by our Ruby Hill correspond
ent, would necessita,e the renIodeling
of the Constitution of the United
States-a difficult and tedious method
of getting At the Chinese curse.-ED.l

MINING EXCITEMENT.

Quite a mining furore broke out in
Eureka Wednesday evening, a report
of a gold bearing vein having been
struck in the hillside back of the Lem
mon mill being quietly circulated
among a few of the knowing ones.
rhe discoverer, with every faith in the
value of his find, rushed frantically in
search of Bob Cavanaugh, and insisted
on recording his claim without giving
any description of its location and
whereabouts. On being informed that
the record was worthless, unless such
description was given, he finally named
the gulch back of the Lennon mill as
the new FL Dorado. The news leaked
out, and Gil Scanland, Cavanaugh,
Berg and some others, proceeded [ o
the ground and took up a north and
south extension. Scanland found
numerous pieces of sandstone bearing
evidence of the presencs of gold, Cava-
naugh very nearly wearing out the
brass nails in his boots i'm his task of
sailing the aforesaid rock by rubbing
them across the nails. Several speci-
mems were brought to town, and pri-
yately subjected to the rubbing appli-
cation of a twenty dollar gold piece,
after which it was turned over to the
excited prospectors for further exami-
nation. Scanland took the specimens
down to Schneider's drug store aud
applied the acid test, and finding that
The yellow stains were really gold, be-
came exultant over his luck, and forth
with INDUCED in pleasant dreams of
future wealth and fortune. To say
that he was angry when the deceit
practiced on him was exposed, gives
but a faint idea of his feelings. In the
meantime an inkling of Bob's knowl-
edge had got abroad, and adozen sharp
miners kept a bright lookout on his
movements, ready to trail him to his
newly discovered mines. He led them
a merry dance around the town, dodg-
ing hither and thither in a mysterious
sort of way that induced them to be-
lieve that he was trying to elude OBJ
servation. Eventually firing of the
sport, he retired to his room, and the
great mining strike is now a thing of
the past, unless Scanland's sandstone
specimens assay higher than those in
the secret expect.

KetJed Mule.

1t is Legitimate to kettle a dog, the
canine species having been singled out
from time immemorial for that hilari-
Gus amusement, but the dignified
mule has never before, to our knowl-
edge, been subjected TO the indignity
of such an appendage TO his narrative.
1t may be that he owed his immunity
to the risk that one incurs in fooling
around his business end; but that dan
ger did no: deter some individual from
successfully performing the feat on
"Wednesday evening. Judging from
the antics of the frantic quadruped, We
presume hat he entirely disapproved
of the proeeedings-at least, he tried to
get away from it as fast as the moder-
ate speed endowed on him by his pro
genitors would allow him. Finding
that he could not outrun the tin can,
he slowed down and done an amount
of kicking that was a credit to his rep
utation in hat line. His efforts, how
ever, were unsuccessful and he re-
sumed his mad career, taking in Buel
aud Spring streets, followed by an q
thusiastIc crowd of idlers and gamins,
who enjoyed the sport hugely. Some
humanitarian finally corralled him,
and at the risk OF his life, severed the
dangling can from his neither end and
restored him to his wonted tranquility.

The residents and dodgers in the
house occupied by Mrs. Bowman, on
Ruby Hill, were startled from their
sleep Wednesday evening by the re.
port of a pistol and the agonized
screams of a female. The noise pro.
ceeded from the room occupied by a
Mrs. King, who bad introduced a COM
panion into her sleeping apartments to
keep her company during the dreary
hours of the night. A window opened
out on the side of the building, and
some party inspired by jealousy or
other motive had raised the sash, and
placing a pistol close to the head of
Morton - the aforesaid companion
discharged il. Fortunately the ball
glanced On his skull, and done no
further damage beyond blowing a fur
row across his scalp. The pistol was
held so close that the woman, who was
laying on the side of the bed fartherest
from the window, had her face and
hair burnt by the flash of the dis
charge. After the excitement claimed
down, it was found that a quantity of
jewelry belonging to the woman, that
had been deposited on a sewing ma
chine in close proximity to the win
dow. had disappeared-probably ap-
propriated by the would. be assassin.
Suspicion attaches to the woman's
husband, from whom she has been
separated about a month, and from
whom a suit for divorce is pending in the
District Court. An examination of the
cabin in which he lives failed TO reveal
any trace of the missing jewelry, and
no evidence was found connecting him
with the attempted murder. King and
wife were iormer residents of Palisade,
and came to Eureka some months ago,
since which time King has held the
position of section boss OF the +. & T..
X. X. The separation between the
parties was caused by Morton, an en-
gineer al Ruby Hill, the husband be-
lieving hat Morton was intruding on
his martial rights, discarding his wife
for hat cause. The affair kicked up
quite an excitement among the deni-
zens of the Hill.

The Moonlight Party.

The children's moonlight party lasi
evening was a very successful and en-.
joysble entertainment, although the
chilly night air interfered somewhat
with the outdoor portion OF the pro.
gramme. The children sang a number
of cboruses, and INDUCED in games
etc., until the time for the distribution
of ice cream arrived. when they seated
themselves and partook of the delicacy
with much gusto. Their elders sat and
watched their happy movements
pleased to see the little ones enjoy
themselves. The party was kept ar
until 10 O'Clock, when the dropping
eyelids of the little ones warned the
old folks that the time for adjourn
ment had come.

0urtn Day Of u Grea Trfal-Tes
timony of Professor Raymond
Wren Takes Him In Hand and
Seemingly Makes Some strong
Points for n Richmond.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.
The direct examination of Rossiter w.
Raymond was continued during the
morning session and terminated at
Il O'Clock. Authorities were cited by
the witness in great number
to prove that the mineral zone,
by him pronounced to be a vein,
was a type of a class by itself;
that the vein in question was one only
to be found in a formation of magne-
SUM limestone, and the ore bodies
therein contained are the results of I'll.
iteration and deposition by waters from
superior sources. This view was sus-
tanned by an elaborate statement
based upon occurrences supposed to be
peculiar to formations of dolomitic
limestone.
At half past II o'clock Mr.. Wren
com menced the cross. examination.
The witness vas requested to give his
opinion as Il the amount OF magnesia
in limestone which would be neces.
sary to bring it within the class of
magnetism limestone. The amount,
said Raymond. was between 5 aud
10 per cent; 5 per cent. of magne-
STA would not render 1t magnetism, be-
tween 3 and 10 per cent would. Thisi in
quiry tended to test the Professors
theory to its foundation. If the lime
stone is not magnesia, the basis of the
theory of liberation from sources on
the surface fails. The cross examina-
tien then turned in another direction
to the point of the continuous ore con.
nection between the lower levels of the
Eureka and the Richmond. The dis
lance between the ore bodies in the
mines varied from 900 feet in
the 9th Eureka level to $50 in the 5tt.
This evidence was elicted in support
of the defendants theory of a barrier
of barren limestone from 500 to 500
feet in width between the two mines.
Henry Donnelly, Superintendent OF
the Eureka Consolidated Mining Com
pany, was in attendance, as was also
General Robert +. Morrow.
