They have the queerest thieves at Eureka
that we ever heard Of They steal the strang-
est things that ever entered the head of lar
cenous man to purloin. The Sentinel of Sat
urday says:-The depredations of the petty
larceny thieves who at present infest the town
are becoming both bold and numerous, and
the annoyance that the public is subjected to
by the scoundrels is getting to be almost I'm
bearable. Not night passes but some one
is despoiled of property, and it is no longer
safe to leave any portable article exposed.
Wednesday night sixty bars of iron were
stolen from one of the furnaces, and no trace
has yet been found of its whereabouts. A
bale of charcoal sacks was removed from the
front of store on Main street last evening,
with the same results, and the browning act
of meanness was perpetrated on the property
of Mr.. Zottman-some person whose highest
flight in crime would never reach above rob-
bing hen-roost having entered that gentle
mans blacksmith shop and wantonly cut up
and destroyed about 200 feet of betting.
Some of these FOUNDERS and thieves will, in
the near future, emigrate from Eureka very
suddenly if they do not succeed in control-
ing their peculating instincts.

COPPER MINING IN ELKO COUNTY.

The Elko independent is pleased to learn
that the experimental run of the furnace on
copper ores just made at Railroad district,
has proven quite successful. MIR. S. H.
White, who is interested with Mr.. Edward
Kelley, in the enterprise, came in from rail
road yesterday, and brought specimens of the
black copper produced, also samples of the
copper-mat. The black-copper is very fine
article, assaying So per cent. Fifteen tons of
the article was produced in this short run,
which was stated, was only experimental,
and the parties are well satisfied with the re-
suit. The copper mines in the district are not
generally developed to any extent, but so far
explored, the prospects are favorable. The
ores produced are of average low grade, but
are especially easy of reduction, and another
very important feature favoring the success OF
the present enterprise, and of incalculable
benefit to the district, is that within its bor
ders, and obtainable at comparatively slight
costs, are all the ingredients necessary to
huxation. Ores from only some three or four
mines were furnished for the late run, but
now that Mr.. Reilly has demonstrated the
practicability of utilizing the copper ores of
Railroad, at paying figures, though the margin
above actual and unavoidable expenses may
not be large, numbers of other mines that
have long been idle will now be worked, and
yield their quota to supply the furnace for
the next ruiz. Mr.. White informs US that
tha co. o6v nfa
run of the furnace will be complete in twenty
five days, at which time it is expected to have
between two and three hundred tons of ore
ready for reduction. The object of these gen.
tlemen is to establish fixed and legitimate
business; one that will afford a fair compensa-
ton to the miners and at the same time Justify
them in its continuance.

THE SOLDIER OF MARATHON.

Major John Dumis writes to the Eureka
Sentinel from the Fairgrounds at Winnemucca
letter from which we extract follows:
The only notable except myself aboard the
trian were the members of the California Rifle
Team, who were returning to San Francisco
from Creedmoor, where they successfully
competed for the prize awarded by the Ma
tional Rife Association in the Inter State
match. There were sixteen of them and they
occupied sleeper, the outside of which was
embellished with long strip of canvas con-
tanning a printed record of their achievements
on the other side of the big waters. Not
withstanding this pardonable bit of ostenta-
tious parade, they appeared to be very
modest lot of gentlemen, and rather reticent
than otherwise in regard to their victory, Of
which they certainly had reason to feel proud,
for it was strongly contested by some of the
best rifle teams in the world. They had with
them in the car the trophy of their skill-a
bronze figure of semi-recumbent individual
which at first sight supposed to be drunken
Piute, but which an attached placard indicated
was designed to portray GA Soldier of Mara
thon," although anything more remote from
the modern idea of soldier it would be i'm
possible to imagine, and it was more like
Captain Hubbard than am to Hercules. Its
arms consisted of sheaf of wheat and its
uniform was fac simile of the Conventional
Georgia Major, minus the collar and spurs.
1t was designated to represent, presume,
the andres uniform of the Marathon Militia.
However, the boys appeared perfectly satisfied
with it whether appropriate or not, and as it
suits them it perhaps i'll becomes an outsider
from the sagebrush to scour about it.

OF the appeal from Mr.. Justice Field S
opinion in the Richmond Eureka case, the
Sentinel says: We are reliably informed that
the Richmond Company has appealed from
the decision rendered by Judge Field in San
Francisco last month, to the Supreme Court
of the United States, for final adjudication.
The necessary papers and bond were filed in
Carson some days ago. The amount of the
bond was 1000. Neither party can now
touch the Potts chamber until the case is
finally determined How much time this
will occupy, it would be difficult to predict.
A dispatch to the Sentinel recently stated
that the docket of the Supreme Court was
three years behind. If this be true, and the
Richmond case take its place at the foot of
the calendar, it will probably be that length
of time before we get decision. However,
by agreement of the parties, the court might
consent to take it up at an earlier date But,
in any event, the appeal will not seriously in
jure the prosperity of the district. Both mines
have now an abundance of ore outside of the
Potts chamber, and it is not likely that there
will be any cessation of operations even
though the case should hang indefinitely be-
fore the Court in Washington.

SHOOTING AND DEFEATING RO

of here they were visited by three men, who
cooked dinner at the camp fire and made
themselves so agreeable that all except the
son gathered about them Young Myers
was suspicious, went and got his shotgun and
remained away from the party. During the
conversation around the camp fire one of the
strangers admired shot gun belonging
to one of the freighters and took it to examine
it. Suddenly he cooked and leveled it and
stepped between the freighters and their arms
and ordered them to throw up their hands,
saying they would take what money there
was in the ontft. Young Myers stepped from
behind the wagon and fired, the shot striking
the robber in the face and breast The robber
wheeled and fired at him, but missed The
robber then dropped the gun and ran, firing
at the party with his revolver. One of the
freighters shot at him with a rifle, the ball
striking him i'll the arm, when he fell and
soon after died. The other two road agents

soon as Abe's back was turned she walked
back into the store and attacked box of ap-
pies. Abe was getting mad and he picked up
a mallet and threw at her. He came so near
hitting her this time that the mallet struck an
old pioneer in the small of the back, doubling
him up and making him howl with pain. As
he did not see the mallet coming at his back,
he thought the blow was an extra twinge of
his rheumatism. The COW walked off again,
