AUDITOR OF STATE.

B1onvills Enquirer.
We have confined ourselves mainly
10 copying complimentary notices
from other papers OF our popular tel
low townsman, MIR. John hester, but
il now seems to us proper. in view of
the fact that our State Convention is
within less than a month OF this time,
that a word should come from us
giving expression to the good will of
his neighbOTs and friends in the county.
We ask his nomination because of his
preeminent fitness for the place, and
his Jacksonian qualifications. There
is no man in the State better able TO
discharge the duties of the Office il
elected. His thorough knowledge OF
the various duties of the office, with his
uniform courtesy, his freedom from
those little petulant moods which un-
fit so many men for public office, to-
gether with his great personal popu-
larity, seems 10 us To commend him
most strongly to the Democrats of the
whole State. The next State election
will be IA very important one for many
reasons and the Convention will fall
short of its duty if il dominates any
one who has not clean record and all
the necessary qualifications TO fill the
office, not by proxy, but in person.
If the interest OF the party and people
is consulted, we arc satisfied MIR. Mes
ter will be among those from whom
the selection shall be made. In the
present gradually increasing strength
of the National Democracy it Is very
impoI tant that no weakness should b.,
found in our State ticket, and that the
State government should be in the
hands of capable, true and tired
men. 1t is no time for sickly, senti-
mental pleadings, and if we expect 10
hold the State government and, regain
that of the nation the live and vigOr-
GUS Democracy must assert itself.
Four years ago the Southern part OF
the State was almost entirely ignored
and now we think we certainly ought
to have Some of the important offices.
| Our soil produces more Democrats
than any other part of the State, and II
ought to be cultivated and encour-

Associate Justice AarI.n'. Endurance.

Perhaps nothing is more necessary 10
a lawyer who desires to attain a promi-
nent position at the bar than phi ysicAl
endurance. He must not only have
the will-power TO concentrate his mind
on the tedious work of studying the
points of complex case, but he must
also have the strength TO endure tho
hours of labor which are frequently en-
tailed upon him. The success which
has attended the practice of the Hoo.
Isaac Caldwell and General John NJ.
Harlan is largely due to their physique
and endurance. In the great Pull
man palace car case the latter was en-
ployed on short notice as one of the
counsel. He had but day TO post
himself and study up the authorities,
but he undertook the task. Locking
himself up 10 his office with Judge
L1chrane, of G ,orgia, and Mr.. George
NJ. Pullman, he examined them thor
Oughly upon it, grasping all the points
and collecting and arranging his cIts-
tons. For twenty-four hours, during
which time his companions alternated
between sleeping and dispensing infor-
nation, he studied the case, and at the
end of that time he had every point at
his hogers' ends and was As fresh ~ a
daisy. When General Harlan was d rst
appointed Associate Justice one or two
newspapers veDtured an opinion that
be was not the man for the lsboriOus
work of the Supreme bench. The able
Editors did not know the man.

Into this smaller or central aume we
would have all sewers from restaurants,
etc, empty, thus avoiding an accumula-
ton Of p~estilential matter, and solving at
once the sanitary question, which is Of no
less importance than the safety Of our
property. We would then cause all bridges,
foot bridges and those constructed at the
intersection Of streets for teams, to visibly
and materially "hump themselves" in
the center that is to say, we would have
them rounded up and arched over the
main current. This would tend largely
10 prevent the accumulation Of drift
wood and rubbish on occasions of food,
from which cause property has chiefly suf-
fered in the past. Briefly and imperfectly
We have stated our proposition. Now a
word As to the cost Of the proposed i'm
provement.
We have not done much figuring in this
regard, but at o rough estimate We think
the total cost would not exceed $50, 600,
certainly not more than $40, 00c, and pos
sibly IL might come as low as $40, 900.
This sum is insignificant in comparison
with the damage that may be inflicted at
any time in ono hour from a freshet. An
open canal or flume, Of the dimensions we
have suggested, with q smooth surface,
free from all distractions, will carry one
third moro water than has ever passed
down the canyon at any one time since the
settlement Of the town.
This question is peculiarly local in its
nature. The improvement should not be
undertaken from the funds of the County
Treasury. The taxpayer Of Palisade and
Mineral Hill has no direct interest in an
improvement wholly local to Eureka.
What is needed is one Of two things:
Either the creation Of q special fund for the
purpose by tho next Legislature. or an
Act Incorporating the town of Eureka,
thus enabling the local authorities to pro-
vide for tho whole subject by local ordi-
n In either, or any event, this i'm
pcrtant work should be inaugurated and
completed before the disastrous thunder
showers Of another summer are upon us.
We hope at least that this matter will en-
gage tho serious attention Of those interest
cd. The columns Of the SENTINEL are al
all timcs open for the discussion Of the
question in all Of its bearings. If our
plan is not feasible, who will suggest
better one?

1t ia currently reported that George W.
Cassidy, of the Eureka SENTINEL, will
stand in with the boys for Congress. Well.
why not? He has a great deal OF legisla-
tive ability, aud in our opinion deserves
the nomination at the hands Of the Demo-
cratic party.-Carson Tribune.
Thanking you for the compliment, good
Deacon, we will just tell you why not.
We havn't got the spondulix. OF course
we has, no fears about the result at the
polls. We feel instinctively that were we
turned loose on the Congressional course
there would be such a mighty uprising Of
the intelligent masses in our behalf as was
never before witnessed in these United
Seates. Modest worth, you know, is always
appreciated. We are also a bit charitable
in this matter. We cannot find it in u
heart of hearts to inflict the pain which
would assuredly fall to the other fellow on
the announcement Of the result. The
deep modification that takes possession OF
q man whose total vote for an important
Office is chronicled as scattering is
something that we do not care to become
responsible for.

CHERRY CREEK ITEMS.
The More Important Notes OF th'
Eass Week.

The More Important Noses of the
Eas. week.
We are indebted to our wide-awake little
contemporary, the Independent, for the
following summary of Cherry Creek events
for the week ending August 18th:
Ward is again coming up, or at least
there is a rush Of people for that place.
Several mechanics Of this place have or
are about to leave for Ward, to assist In
putting up the 20-stamp mill, for which a
contract Of furnishing 100000 feet Of lum-
Der has been awarded to A. ]. Guilford.
The Ticup premises and hill are now
abandoned that is, the force OF four or
five men who have heretofore been doing
prospect work, and working at the T1cup
mine, have departed, and the old log
clearinghouse, cabins and h~olsting-works
are as quiet and ~lifeless as a country school
house in dog days.
At the Star mine the winze going down
from the $50 level has connected with the
AGO level, passing the entire distance
through pay ore. This thoroughly ven
tilates the lower level and greatly iacili-
tates the extraction Of ore, as it Ia no
icHptT necessary w uOlst IL ~ "
the 800 level, sbut it is dropped to the new
levol below.
Sam Jones, brother Of Senator John P.
Jones, came to our town by Wednesday
evenings stage, and departed for Virginia
this morning. Mr.. Jones came here for
the purpose of examining he Star mine,
of which he is a stakeholder. He also took
q view Of some of our other mines.
The Star Company report that they now
save 81 900 on salt monthly, in the reduc-
ton of ore, from the amount used ome
time ago.
We learn that Mr.. Ayers has resigned his
position as one of the foremen OF the Star
mill, and that William Sheek has been
appointed in his place.
r. ]. Andrews has had George B. Van
Enron and William Mickle arrested for
removing twenty sacks of ore from the
Lookout mine.

The big ditch problem is one Of great
,mportsnce In . local way. There is moth
ing moro certain than that q large portion
Of The town Of Eureka stands in imminent
danger of inundation a. often as the
showery season Of each succeeding Sum-
mer shall come around. 1t is, therefore,
the part Of wisdom to make provision Tor
the protection Of our lives and property.
No tcmporixing, halfway measure is to be
tolerated. A thing that is worth doing at
ali Is worth doing we'll. There must be an
adequate outlet for the immense torrents
which sweep down upon us from the
mountains. Tho present channel Of the
big ditch is the lowest land in the town,
and, therefore, the natural course OF the
water. Freshets can be more easily and
cheapIy cared for on that line than else
where. We have heard a variety Of plans
discussed, looking to the solution of this
vexed question. We have a suggestion to
make which we think is the only practica-
BILE one that can be made or entertained in
the premises. Commencing below the Eu-
roka Consolidated reduction works, we
would extend the width Of the ditch to
twenty feet, all the way along to a point
above tho Richmond. At the latter point
We would throw out wingdams Of Stag, to
divert the water into the main channel.
These wingdams should be rounded up in
. manner to admit Of the easy passage Of
teams. Next, We would substantially plank
the great canal, bottom and sides, with
heavy redwood plank. In the center Of
the bottom Of this big fiume, constructed
out Of the same substantial material, we
would provide q smaller fume, say twelve
inches deep by eighteen inches in width,
10 carry the natural flow Of water, which
rum ct all seasons Of the year. The fol-
lowing figure will serve to illustrate our
idea in this particular !:

Strange Conduct of white Pine
Indians.

Strange Conduct of white Pine
Indians.
Regarding rumors of o murder COM
mitted in the eastern portion of White
Pine county, the Cherry Greek Independent
has the following: 1.-The usual quietude Of
our town has been a little rufied for the
past week over a murder said to have been
committed by a rancher who lives in
Spring Valley, about IL miles beyond
Schellburn. The report originated with
an Indian. who, he said, was forced by
the rancher to assist in the burial Of the
murdered man. The Indians for the last
week have been very much excited over
the affair, fearing the murder would be
charged to them. One Hartman, q do
INVESTIGATED Indian, came to this place to
inform the authorities, while other Indians
rode three and four days to catch the in
former. He was brought TO Schellburn
the forepart Of the present week, where
some twenty other Indians were waiting
for him. Some OF the citizens gave con-
siderable credit to the report, while others
called it all a hoax. On "Wednesday last
Ed. Raum, tho Sheriff, and Jim Henry
went to Schellburn, and in company with
the Indians and the informer, started for
the scene Of the tragedy. The Indian was
much opposed to going, and when some
eight miles on their way he said it was
s.all q damn lie.' This ended the search.
though it might not be conclusive by q
long way that the murder was not COM
mitted. Why the Indian should have cir
culated such > story, giving full details Of
the disposal OF the murdered man, does
not readily sppear, unless there was some
thing Of it."

province of Eastern Roumolia.
LONDON, August 20.
The Times, in its financial article, says:
The fact Of the silver market being at all
firm when there is next to no demand is
explained by their being scarcely any sup
ply.
The failure of Cattole, Morton & Co..
West India merchants, has been hanging
over the market for some days, and, as the
firm is Of very old standing, it smay be of
some importance.
