Third Assistant Postmaster General
HaEen has completed the estimatesof APP
preparations required for his Office during
the next fiscal Year. They aggregate
$905.000, against $l,l50.OO0 appropriated
for the present 6seai year, being decrease
of $246,O00, although there will be an
estimated increase of ten per cent. in the
issue OF adhesive stamps, twelve per cent.
10 the issue Of envelopes, and twenty per
Eeent. in the issue of postal cards. This
favorable showing has been rendered pos
sible by advantageous contracts for the
manufacture OF postage stamps and postal
cards. The principal! items of the esti-
mates are $85, 900 for stamps, $4,000 for
postal cards, and $547 900 forstamped en-
velopes. these estimates, With those for
the other branches of the department al
ready published, make total of $50, AIT,

expenses of the postal service during the
next fiscal year. Ofthis amount the de
partment estimates it can provide from its
own revenues the sum of $29. 036, 098 %.
This latter amount will come from the tel

A corr espondent writes from japan:
Bear in mind As;atics live as NO other
races can. and upon food which would n,
sustain a European house dog. Frugal as
badgers, Industrious as bees, they undersell
every labor market which they enter, and
Guido every civilized artisan at his own
trade. Any one who sees Japanese car
penter at work, with has toe, for wise, and
his thighs and stomach for a bench, has
seen tools well used. land goods equal to
European turned out. They will. 10 fact.
become formidable rivals of all kinds of
Western manufactures. The Japanese are
always ready to learn, and to outvie every
thing that the West does, and this they do
with less food, less air, less clothing. and
less comfort than any Civilized workman"

buying Comstock Mines.

There seems to be some foundation
for the statement, telegraphed to the
SENTINEL a few days ago, that a party
of English capitalists are negotiating
for the control Of a number of Com
stock mines. Mr.. Stunsberg, the rep
sentative of a London house, recently
spent several days in Virginia City
and SutrO, and gave out when he de.
parted that he would soon return to
make a longer stay. There is a strong
suspicion prevailing in mining circles
that the Savage, Hale Il Norcross and
Gould & Curry have already passed
into the hands of Mr.. Sutro and his
English hackers. The tunnel man.
ayers desire to reach the great lode
without a fight, and the general opin.
ion is that they have bought up the
mines noted for that purpose. Whether
the holders of shares in these mines
are to be benefited or worsted by the
transfer, if it should take place, is
something we shall not undertake to
decide. San Francisco managers,
however, are usually above the aver
age in shaking 'em up-or down.
There is speculation at least in a Cal
'iornia-street layout.

TERRIBLE
Sudden and UutimeIy Death

From tho Carson Tribune. l4th.l
Yesterday a young man named John
Moran, a native of Bangor, Maine,
aged but 20 years, and who had been
in the employ of M. b. Gardner, at
his logging camp, Lake Tahoe, came
to an untimely end. 1t appears hat
deceased was employed in loading
logs from the trucks to the railroad
cars, and that as he was uncoupling
two cars OF the down grade a fellow
workman sung out to him that his
shirt was on fire, a spark from the
locomotive having lodged in his
clothes. MIR. Moran sprsng back to
the other car, bnt slipped, and the
car passed over the poor fellow,
MASKING him to a jelly. The head
was broken, also the neck. and
in fact we never saw a more
fearfully mangled human body. OF
course he died instantaneously and
never knew what hurt him. J.. f.
Mcneil, brother-in-law of deceased,
Major Gardner, and other persons en-
ployed on the work, brought the re-
mains of Mr.. Moran into town and
had the corpse properly attended to.

The Hills.

We Gull from two Deadwood letters
lying before US a few items of local in
terest. There are four quartz mills of
five stamps each in the Black Hills
country. Each of these employ about
five men. Drinks are twenty-five
cents and the miner measures his dust
out in a cartridge shell. Beds are rs
cents to 81 %. First class board, SIS a
week. The saloons number from 20 to
80, with two faro games which deal a
Sl2% limit. Tip OrndorT and Joe
Potter, two former Eureka sports are
in Deadwood. Joe Potter is the hon.
bre who hung out the yellow flag here
during small poX times to keep his
landlady from bothering him for his
room rent. Money is fearfully short
with all classes of people in the Hills.
The population is estimated at 10000,
of which number only about 1000 are
at work. Broken men are offering to
work for any price from one dollar up.
This is not "a very encouraging picture
for the new Dorado, but we have no
doubt hat it is pretty close to the
mark.

The Heather Social.

There was not a great crowd at the
Heather social last night; yet there
were enough there to render the oc-
casion supremacy pleasurable. 1t was
indeed one of the most agreeable
parties that has transpired in Eureka
for a long time. The ladies were all
handsomely attired and looked be-
w~itchingly charming. The music
was all that could be desired and the
Heathens individually and collective
ly did all in their power to enhance
the pleasure of the occasion. Dane
ing was kept up with spirit and vigor
until the usual hour of adjournment,
when all retired we'll pleased with
themselves and each other. The fol-
lowing ladies' were in attendance:
Mrs. f. w. Cole, Mrs. A. M. Hill
house, Mrs. A. L. Titus, Mrs. 5.
Goldstone, Mrs. 2. Steller. Mrs. j. M.

The delinquent list of the Julia
makes nine columns in the Gold Hill
NeWs, the largest publication of the
kind, so said, aver thrown in the face
of a panic-stricken public On the Pa
cific coast. Other Comstock delin-
quent lists have appeared recently of
almost equal proportions. There is
nutriment in all this for the rejecting
operator. First. it shows that the in
siders have been industriously unload
ing their shares onto the outsiders.
Secondly, it demonstrates hat the said
outsiders are either fiat broke or have
lost all confidence in the saving grace
OF Comstock shares. Either horn of
the dilemma means and the same
thing, to wit: that there is no earthly
hope OF an immediate revival of the
stock market. 1t is gratifying to note,
however, that the holders of shares in
the outside districts are not so badly
demoralized. The delinquent lists for
this section have nM been more nu-
merous, nor Yet larger than usual.
Look, for instance, at That of the jack
son, now running in the advertising
columns OF the SENTINEL. By scanning
it carefully you will see that only ten
men neglected to pay on 625 shares,
amounting to S3l2. That is confidence
for you, showing as clear as the
day sun that amid the crash OF (stock)
worlds and wreck of empires that has
been going on at the other end of the
line, Eureka district has steadily main
tanned her equilibrium and to.day
stands first in prominence, first in
value and first in the hearts of her

The COunt Heard From.

A gentleman who has just returned
from California says he saw Count
Alexander Won Hun at the Bay. He
was dining at the Palace with a
party of Russian officers from the
fleet lying Off Mare Island, and seemed
to be perfectly at home with his
new-found friends and c%ountrymen.
The Count has bid a long farewell to
the Base Range, and no doubt
he will strive hard to distinguish
himself when he joins the forces
of the Car on the blue Danube.
We are not advised as to whether or
not he sailed on the Russian fleet
which two days ago steamed out
through the Golden Gate.
