GovERNMENT.-It was an
nounced in a special telegram from Wash
ington last Saturday evening that the
change in the financial policy Of the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury had resulted from a n
opinion given by Attorney General Devens,
who had been hastily summoned home
from the West by telegraph.
Two Republicans-one Of them OF ma
tional reputation-met a few days ago. "a
splendid Administration we have at WASH
ington, " remarked one.
"Who is at Washington" inquired the
other; sis the President thcre?"
mo, he is out West"
is the Secretary of War there?"
ono; | saw it stated he was going to
Iowa"
''Is the Secretary of State there?"
"No; he is on his farm, in Vermont"
Where is the Secretary of the Treas
ury?''
'tHe is making speeches in Ohio"
"And the Attorney-General, is he in
Washington
''No; he also has gone West"
Il don't see, then, that we have much Of
any Administration MT Washington was
the remark which closed this curious
dialogue.

Saws the London MINING Journal; Since
the termination of the civil war Spain is
once more becoming an important center
of mining industry, and some of the ports
in that hitherto unfortunate country are
now displaying an amount Of activity to
which for years they have been a stranger.
Bilbao, in particular, during the last two
or three months, has been particularly so,
and large quantities OF hematite IRON
stone have been shipped principally to
England. there having been during the
first seven months of the present year no
less than 700. 600 tons three-fourtlls of
which we're to the United Kingdom. Sew
eral of the mines are worked by English cap
~italists, amongst them being Sir j. Brown
and other Sheffield ironmasters largely en-
gagged in the production of Bessemer steel.
So extensive, indeed, are the deposits of iron
that for ages to come there will be an
abundance, however extensively it may be
worked. AT Frian, at Biscay, the iron has
been taken for some hundreds of years,
and vast quantities still remain. Mcssrs.
Ibarre Brothers & Co. have extensive
works, working up the ore in furnaces and
rolling into bars and other material. In
| Saragossa, also, there are also extensive
deposits Of ironstone, as well as other mine
| rails, which only require capital to be profit
ably worked, and this, no doubt, will be-
fore long be introduced should the present
tranquility prevail. In Guadalajera there
are valuable silver mines, and salt mines
at Turzo. In several OF the provinces
there are extensive seams OF COAL while

A vail, Effort.

A young man from She country entered
Mr.. Berwin's store yesterday, and struggled
manfully for an lour IN a vain endeavor to
get a No. II foot into n No. 7 boot. In ten
minutes from his commencement he had a
boot half full of powdered chalk; pumice
stone, pieces of boot-strsps and various
patterns Of bootjacks were strewn over the
floor. He was in a half-bent position,
with n couple Of hooks fastened to the
stubborn straps Of a well-made boot, into
which he was laboring tc force the afore-
mentioned hoof, when the gentlemanly
clerk dared TO inquire if the customer was
ever troubled with corns, bunions, excres-
enees, or other protuberances. Mary al
excresence, sir" replied the intlamed, in
furiated patron, MY feet, though they
may not always emit the fragrance of the
rose-gcranium, and sometimes require a
weak solution Of carbolic acid, are in
shape, are free from all abnormal matter,
and are as trim and shapely as the head Of
Miss IS biack-and-tan poodle" He
couldn't get any decent sized boot on,
however, and SO, finally, tied on a couple
Of gunny sacks and started for Typo.

A young man employed as a composition
on the SENTINEL was stricken down with
rheumatism the other day, and in less than
half an hour he was informed by SYM
pathetic old ladies and experienced 'd9-ers
that the following would cure it: Iodide Of
potassium, a trip to the Elko Springs,
quinine, a wooden rag worn about the neck,
glauber salts, soap-weed roots and sarsa-
parilla, a potato carried in his pocket, o
red-hot application to the parts affected Of
pain-killer, gin and tansey, a horse-chest-
nut carried in his pocket, an eel-skin
around his leg, n suit Of red flannel,
chloroform liniment, hot lemonade, a trip
South, n dry atmosphere, equable tenn
perature sulphur baths, mustard and hot
water, camphor liniment, electricity, oil
silk, onions, raw lemons, s~agebrush tea,
physic and a hip bath in valley-tan. He is
barely alive at this moment.

Maclaren & Macdonald have extened
their store to the rear some twenty feet,
which gives them Groom to turn" and
also room in which to display a portion Of
their new goods. The store is certainly
one Of the neatest and cosiest in town,
and looks inviting in its coat of white.
We saw a dozen or two of cases, just from
the depot, on the sidewalk, and were in.
formed that those were but a fraction OF
tho fancy and staple ladies' goods which
would be unloaded for them this fall. Mac
4 Mac are sure TO have their shelves array
ed tastefully, and will be glad to show
their new stock to the ladies of Eureka
and surrounding country.

without Extra Noise.
We saw some fine looking ore from the
Monte Christie side OF White Pine Mountain
last evening. As everybody knows, devel-
opments ON that side have shown the veins
to be of permanency, easily traced and
rich-whether broad or narrow-gauge.
We talked with Mr.. John spiker a little
while, and he showed us ore from the
Mountain Queen, which he has had shipped
here from the Six-mile. House-whither he
had to pack it-and it cost him about $40
per ton to get it from the Six-mile House
into Eureka. From here it goes to Salt
Lake for treatment. After 10 or II miles
of packing, 40 miles Of freighting and sew
eral hundred miles Of r~ailroading, over
three different r~oads-subject to various
landings and numerous chances for
stealing, it takes pretty good ore
TO bring a man in from $3.50 to
500 per ton, which ore, from that
side OF the mountain does return clear Of
all these expenses. About three miles from
the Monte-Christo, Mr.. Spiker and another
gentleman, whose name we did not learn,
have this mine, which is known as above
mentioned. They are down on it $50 feet,
and have been drifting on the vein, which
is small-varying from two to eighteen in
ches in width. They have been shipping
ore, off and on. and now have four or five
tons, which goes for treatment in a few
days.
Jacobson & Corcoran are also shipping
from the same locality, nearly the same
quality Of ore, from the Silver Chamber
mine. 1t is a little tough, though, that
Nevadans have to ship ore to "other
countries" we might say, and still IT is
true. While we have millions of tons that
won't stand such exorbitant freight, but
would make our miners rich, if treated at
home, or within a reasonable distance.

EUREKA, September &c, 1873.
EDIron SESTIgEL: In your Issue of yes
terday, John Oddly states that he perform
ed the tremendous feat of walking fifty
miles in nine hours, in 1875, at Odd Eel
lows Hall, Philadelphia. Eighteen hun
dred and seyenty-fve was a long year. 1t
what period Of the year did the remarkable
occurrence transpiTe? Why don't he give
the date? He says the record can be OBJ
tanned from the Philadelphia Item, and Of
course it will be three years old. We are
not wasting our time in that business, for,
John Oddly, You might lie. Why did it
take four time-keepers, and several others,
to keep the time? Is it customary TO have
so many t~ime-keepers? If 50, why? Why
did you not have 90 or 20 on that oyentful
occasion. Now, John Oddly, will You
please explain why you have nc record Of
that walk? No nonsense-explaini You
have in the Clipper almanac a record Of
fourteen miles, which is the fastest time in
America. | give you credit for it. You
have no record of fifty miles in nine hours.
If you have, you are a f~alsifer, for
you swore on your honor, to me,
while you were in Virginia City, that you
never had walked fifty miles, and | can
prove it. If you did walk it, as you said
in the SENTINEL of yesterday, then you
lied to me deliberately, and can prove it.
Your other bosh states nothing OF your
ever walking fifty miles. You well know
that it took you twelve hours to walk fifty
miles in Virginia City. Why did you not
walk it there in nine hours? Echo nswers
| will merely say, because you could not.
You say You will bet and do many aston
ishing things; that is all right. | have had
some dealings with you, and | wish no
more. You know you lied to me in
Virginia City, and | can prove it. The next
time you write up your record, will you
have the kindness to refer to the Pacific
Life, where you were barred from the
'Recreation Grounds Of San Francisco
for trickery; put your whole record in as 4
walker. In regard to Tom kean's measur-
ing of tracks, what about the track he said
he measured at the National Guard Hall
in Virginia City, when Miss Lawrence
made 100 miles in 26 hours? kean says he
was not measuring tracks at that time.
He had better give the business up. for he
made as great a mistake at it as be did at
the wonderful and terrible glove fight in
your theatre a few Sundays since.
| am stopping at the Jackson House;
room IA, and can be seen at any time.
Did Oddly sign his name, or did he want
to make his cross, as he did when | paid
him the SIS in the dressing-room Of the
National Guard Hall in Virginia City?

Now that the canvass has fairly opened,
and many Of our Republican friends are
liable to be struggling to get down a new
dish-to them-fsh, we append the follow
ing hints in case of accident: II a fish
bone or o portion of food sticks in
the throat, and threatens to produce suf-
location, first give a smart blow between
the shoulders. This will most likely dis
lodge the substance. If the patient can
make any attempt to swallow, put a large
lump Of butter in his mouth. This will
help the offending substance to pass down
the throat more easily. If he cannot
swallow, put the finger as far down the
throat as possible, and endeavor to pull
the bone or meat out, or tickle the throat
to produce immediate vomiting. Unless
there is prompt action, life may be lost.

The Shooting Scrnpe last Night.

About the fracas at the upper end Of

following: WA. MeGillvray, a shift-boss
discharge one James Brannan, the other
day, and it is reported on the street that
Brannan partook of too much liquor yes
terday, and then, armed with n revolver,
went after McGillyray. Mac, getting hold
of the revolver in the %scuifle, started in to
beat Brannan over the head with it, when
it was discharged. There are SO many ru-
mors that nothing definite can be arrived
at until the examination. There is no
gunshot wound to be found on either
party.
