We find the following in the Ward
Refer Of yesterday, which shows that
the gold bearing territory extends to
the eastern slope of jeff. Davis Peak:
"John Edwards and Charles Cameron
returned from the east side of jeff.
Davis Peak on Monday last and re.
ported the discovery of placer mines
and gold-bearing veins also. Unlike
the west side of the peak. there is plen.
ty of water for all purposes. They
have sunk upon a placer which they
have located to the depth of about six
feet without reaching bed rock and
found colo. all the way. They took
out about 30 cents all told. The claim
il located OH Trout creek, 20 rods on
either side and 40 rods up and down
the creek. From the fact that trout
have been caught out OF this stream,
it can be readily seen that the supply
OF water is good. A.quartz vein was
located which shows free gold. The
extent Of placer grodnd in the neigh
borhood is not known.

We assure u contemporaries that
their flatteriug notices of the SENTINEL
are highly appreciated at this end oil
the line. No paper in the State was
ever more generously complimented.
We can but thank our brethren of the
press for their very hearty congratula-
tons and encomiums. The following
elaborate mention of our new volume
is from that able and energetic journal
list, Mr.. 9. c. Powning, of the Reno
Journal:
at is gratifying to notice the friend
ly in which our State ex-
changes are greeting the Eureka SEN
TINEL on its entrance of the thirteenth
volume. Ii any paper Is deserving of
the good things said of it, the SENTINEL
surely is, and Eureka may we'll be
proud of the paper. No town of its
size on the coast can boast of such an
able advocate and representative, and
we hardly know which has been of the
greatest benefit to the town, its mines
or its paper. The one has produced
millions in money, but for the other,
that money would have not been of as
much benefit; for upon every occasion
the SENTINEL has placed the town and
its mining interests in a proper light
before the country, and those who
bave read it certainly were pecuniarily
benefited. Hence the greatest good to
the greatest number has been the re-
suit; consequently we see Eureka
the leading town and camp OF
the Great East, and the second
pace OF importance in the State.
This is a great admission for us to
make-we who have so long been the
Cpur de Leon Of Reno, but a strict re-
gard for truth compels us to. Not that
we do not expect to lap and pass Eu-
reka soon, for we do, and we shall.
The natural, FASTENED by artificial
progress of this town will soon place
it next to Virginia, which position,
when once attained, cannot lie taken
away. Still, at present, Eureka and
the SENTINEL, are ahead, due more to
the latter's curse than any other
reason. Day and night it has been
performing its mission, silently yet
effectively. Rather conservative, |
bitter though at times, publishing ex-
cellent telegrapbic dispatches, spicy
with locals, containing we'll selected
miscellaneous reading matter, and
eat in its typographical appearance,
the paper altogether commanded the
hearty patronage with. which it has
been continually blessed. Its future
is easily read. 1t will not be long be-
fore it will occupy to Eastern Nevada
the position now accorded the Enter
prise in Western Nevada. The people
will find it to their advantage to assist
it up the ladder"

LETTER FROM
What Old Eurekans Are Doing In
That Country.


Charley Grim received a letter from
the Black Hills yesterday, from which
we extract the following news. 1t
gives an account Of the doings of sew
eral former residents Of Eureka:
DEADwooD CITY, June s., 1877.
Friend Charley: Times are a little
better here now than when you left.
There are not as many "tender feet" in
town ~ there was a month ago. They
are leaving every day for all carts of
the country by the wagon load-most
of them going East to return no more.
Galena, or Bear Buttes, is the main
place now in the Hills. 1t is very
nearly as large as Deadwood City and
quite as lively. Three furnaces are
being built, and any quantity Of saw
mills.
John Stout is running a try-weekly
stage and express line between Dead
wood and Galena, and / am the chief
string puller of four fat and sleek
horses. Freight is three cents per
pound; passage So a head, and I am
landing them in the center Of the rich.
est quartz region that you ever laid
your eyes on. We have got a good
route and all the freight and passen.
gers we can haul. The weather has
been fearful for the last two months,
storming off and on all the time until
within the past ten days, which has
been as hot as Tophet. Strawberries
and ice cream is all the go-in your
imagination-and Deadwood beer down
at Parkhurst's Gardens, in Elizabeth
town, is away ahead of Boca.
The old French baker, Marquette,
that used to run a bakery in Poverty
gulch, Eureka, took a cold dose Of
poison and handed in his checks. His
wife was married again before the body
was buried, or as the Deadwood Times
put it, before the old fellow was cold.
10. Potter is still in town and says he
never feels natural unless he is broke.
He swears he can whip any man that
can't lick him. Lobster Jack is rust
ling for grub. Johnny Moss is play
ing at the theater. Pancake Bill Keeps
up his lick, catching a poor pilgrim
now and then. Johnny DAILY, a Eu-
reka blacksmith, was shot in the head
about ten days ago. Frank McGov-
ern was in Jail a few days for using his
6-shooter a little too freely. Robert
Stewart is at Crook City working on a
cidiuu. no mas BOt all lIteItSt WIFI
Jim McQuillan and two other men.
They are working on the bank and moi
making much more than grub. They
expect to do better when they can get
into the creek, but the water is too
high at present. Billy Mather has
fixed up his place, but is not doing
much. Johnny Manning, of Phoebe,
is the only one in town that is doing
any saloon business. Red Clark has
sold his stable to the Bismarck Stage
Company for $1,000. There has been
considerable building going on lately.
Everybody is putting in new fronts
and laying sidewalks. A man can go
home "a little OFF, without breaking
his neck. Chase is going to start up
his mill in a few days. Jim Neil is in
doing nothing. West has gone
back to Nevada. Ellenbough is driv-
ing bulls on shares. This is about all
l can remember in regard to former
residents of Eureka.
Yours, etc, JOHN KEEFER.

Flag Centennial,

The centennial of the adoption of the
American flag was yesterday observed
in Eureka by the unfurling Of Old
Glory from many flagstaffs. Our dis
patches inform us that the day also re-
ceived due attention in the principal
cities of the East. In New York and
Washington the display of bunting
was superb, and in Boston a salute
was fired from the common in honor
of the event. The Bostonians always
overreach the other people Of the
Union in patriotic ardor. A new star
must be added to the flag on and after
the coming Fourth, to represent the
State of Colorado, the law being that a
sta shall be added on July 4th next
succeeding the admission of a new
State. The number will be 3S on all
flags manufactured after the Fourth.

THE TX TX MINE.
Some Correction. md Figures,

DVssAO ~OEEecsAOnS 0nO Figures.
Our reporter, in yesterdays issue, in
alluding 10 recent improvements at
this mine, got some of the facts a little
mixed. An old cable which had been
in use for several years gave out. A
new fiat wire cable was ordered, but
it came too large for the reel and was
new put in use. Then a new Man
lila rope was pressed into service for
temporary use, but the machinery not
being adapted to this kind OF cable, the
extra friction caused it t. wear rapidly
and IN consequence it was supplanted
with q three quarter inch flexible
round wire cable which works to a
charm. Pending these Interruptions
h water in the main shaft CARED con.
siderable Roadway, but it has since
been entirely exhausted and work is
progressing satisfactorily. No strike
has yet been made on the seventh
level, though an important develop
ment in this portion of the mine is ex-
pected in a very short time. Superin-
tendent Arlington called at the SENTI
Il office yesterday, and explained
the inaccuracies of our previous item.
The X X has been under his
able management since last July,
during which time he has done
ever $40 900 worth of prospecting
and dead work. The furnace was
started in September and has run con.
tinuously since that time with the ex-
ception OF occasional stopages for re-
pairs. He has shipped to date eleven
hundred and sixty tons of bullion
worth on an average about $500 per
ton. This has returned a net yield,
including ore and coal on hand, of
about $40 900. Counting the dead
work that WAS necessary to be done,
1t will thus be seen that the mine has
produced, over and above working
expenses. something like $50, 600 since
last September. These figures are
only approximately correct, but they
serve to show that the X X lisa most
valuable property. Still better results
may be anticipated when the seventh
level shall have been fully opened.

A ~SuccuIent Dish.

We overheard a discussion between
two of the male Jubileers as to the
best food that this mundane sphere
produced. Each one claimed that he
could name the superior article, and
finally put up five dollars a side on the
proposition. Another n of the
troupe was called in as referee. and
No. l Immediately named hominy and
baked possum. "Hold on" cried
No. 2, ode bet don't go; you can't
win no money on a shuah thing; OATS
just what l was going for to say" The
referee decided the point we'll taken
and pronounced the bet a draw.
Drinks all round to the memory of the
Southern succulent edibles removed
any lingering dissatisfaction, and all
agreed that hominy and baked possum
stood at the head of the list.
