A Disting aished Expert.

Under this head the Eureka Sentinel
announces the arrival of Prof. Rossiter
w. Raymond. of New York, ceIe.
brated mining expert and member of
the United States Mining Commission.
He will be witness in the suit between
the. Eureka Consolidated and the Rich
mond Mining Companies He visited
this county some four or five years ago
and made an elaborate report on the.
ShebA niue, in Star District. in which
be predicted that it would some day be
valuable property. The Sheba, like
all other mines has had its ups aud
downs. and the time has been since he
reported on the mine, when its owners
classed HIM with false pfophets and
found almost everything but profits in
following his advice. Now however,
greater depth has been attained in the
mine, good ore has been struck in the
deepest workings and his prophecy is
likely to be fulfilled.

British soldiers.

The Corinne Record of last Tues.
day says "a regiment of British
soldiers, all Scotcmmen, and dressed in
full Highland uniform, are expected to
pass through this evening on their way
to British Columbia. Appearing IN
plaids and bonnets, they will no doubt
be an object of interest along the line. "
AS the Highlanders have not passed
through here yet, it may be safely
asserted that the II cord was mistaken.
We shall endeavor to ascertain and
m Ike public the time when the British
soldiers will pass here, but we learn
from the railroad men that they have
not yet been advised of their leaving
Canada.
