An Eve TO Business.

In July last a Chinese cealburner
was badly injured by being carried
down a stream of water caused by a
cloud burst, near Coleman's ranch.
He was brought into town and DR..
Bishop vas called to attend him. The
physician found it necessary to put the
patient under the influence of cloro-
form while performing a painful OPP
Grafton, and took with him a bottle
containing several of that pow
erful auesthetic. Alter using a por-
ton of it he placed the bottle on the
table and it suddenly disappeared in Il
mysterious ann A Chinaman
who a present displayed great inter-
est in watching the effect produced by
the administration OF the chloroform
To the man, and when its loss vas dis
covered he was suspicioned of appro
priating it. The Chinese have a whole
some dread of anything of that char
acter and were fearful that it had been
ia ken by some one of their number
for a bad purpose. Nothing was
heard of it until yesterday, when the
same man thought to have stolen it
is mixed up in the kidnapping case,
the particulars of which are given else
where, and the Chinese are confident
that it was stolen by him for some
such purpose.

THE CHIvALRIC ABoRIGINE.-Cap-
tain Bob is a man who realizes the true
distinction between the sexes. He con-
siders a wife a helpmate in every n
of the term. On Saturday last, says
the Virginia Chronicle, be vas pros
pecting along ID street with one of his
squaws, when he saw a rusty red
stove, weighing about 200 pounds,
standing on the sidewalk in front OF a
store, and importuned the owner until
he obtained permission to carry it oil.
He then procured some old ropes and
began operations by relieving his wife
of her papoose. He then commanded
her to kneel down alongside the hard
ware. The obedient wife knelt down,
and Bob, depositing his youngest on a
convenient doorstep, tied the stove to
his squaw's back and then ordered
her to get up. She staggered 10
her feet and marched off with the
stove, her swarthy lord filling up the
rear with a sixteen pound papoose on
his back and perspiring tremendously.
A little further on. tired of his burden,
he laid the papoose on top of the stove
and sat down on a bowlder to rest,
while Mrs. Bob trudged or to the
wickiup. Some years ago, when Bob
was enjoying his honeymoon, he came
up on his bridal tour from Carson,
riding a mule which his wife led, and
at the same time had about fifty
pounds of wood on her back.

This tunnel is situated about half a
mile southwest from Ruby Hill. The
tunnel is now in from the west side
$50 feet, and is designed to tap a series
of promising locations called the Mon.
ogram series of mines, all of which are
old locations, we'll defined and tracea-
bic for a great distance, and are show
ing exceedingly We'll. The tunnel will
strike some of the lodges within a few
hundred feet, and with its completion
a good property is sure to be devel-
oped. Major McCoy's celebrated
Grant mine lies Immediately east in
the line of the tunnel. The tunnel is
owned and is now being driven by
Charles Demar (and olhers) who WAS
so badly injured by having his arms
nearly blown off last fall By p prema-
ture discharge OF giant powder. One
of his hands il entirely destroyed; the
other is So badly hur. that it is almost
USELESS; Notwithstanding, he is at
work at this tunnel with untIring ener-
gy. 1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
unfortunate gentleman may find per-
sons and capital to take hold and carry
out his very excellent plans.

Tunnel Destroyed.

Superintendent George Bliss yester-
day afternoon was obliged to run Off
the water in the town tanks, on recount
of its muddy condition. Yesterday the
tunnel used to collect the water from
New York Canyon caved in, rendering
it useless in the future for such pur-
pose. When the Richmond branch of
the railroad was built a considerable
portion of the ground over the tunnel
was scraped away to ill in tina grade.
This caused a gully through which the
water from the hills had free course,
and undermining the earth forming
the top of the tunnel, it caved in for IA
distance of nearly its entire length.
The tanks We're rellled Immediately
with clear water.

KIDNAPPED.
A Chinese Woman (hlOrOfOruned
and Stolen-Kler Capture at Pal.
isaie.

At an early hour yesterday morning
a Chinese woman,uaned Yet Kun was
kidnapped by a Chinaman, assisted, it
is thought, by a white confederate.
She belongs to the Yu Yuen Company,
and her captor eats his rice under
the banner of the Hop Wo faction.
The woman was chloroformed and
taken from her house on Monroe
street, near The old Jail, put in a spring
wagon secured for the occasion and
conveyed to the DEPOT in time to take
the train for Palisade. George Dick,
a Chinese merchant who owns an in
terest in twool the stores OF Chinatown,
is supposed To have hai IA hand in the
business, as lie left by the same train,
and has more than once displayed a
weakness for that kind of business.
A soon as the owner of the woman
Discovered his loss he rushed to the
SENTINEL office, had posters struck off
and all advertisement put in the
paper announcing his loss and
offering a reward of two hundred
dollars for the recovery of his prop
erty. Within an hour after ordering
the advertisements 10 De put IN the pa
per, the whereabouts of the woman
and her captor were discovered at Pal
isade, which is only another illustra-
ten of the benefits of advertising.
kilograms were sent here stating the
wornan to be at that place aud she ar
rived last night in charge of two or
three parties from that place.
1t is very certaintha the Chinese kid
napper was assisted in the job.by some
while man, who administered the chic
reform and got the woman Il of the
house and into the wagon. The Yu
Yuen Company are highly incen-ed
over the matter, and if George Dick,
when he returns, does not give a salts
factory explanation of himself. he may
possibly be counted out by the hand
of some unknown assassin. Accord
ing to the Chinese laws the stealing of
women is a serious otfense.
