Eastern Mining Investments.

We have many proofs of the facts
that Eastern investors and spectators
are turning their attention to our min
ing resources, aud from all appear
ances there will be a steady flow of our
mining securities in that direction dur.
ing the coming summer. The Eureka
Consolidated is largely held in Boston
and New York at the present writing,
and brokers receive daily riders for
shares in that property. Another evil
dence is the fact that we are IN daily
receipt of letters, aud subscriptions to
the SENTINEL, from that quarter, and
in every instance our new subscribers
betray an anxiety To become acqualnt-
ed with our mineral resources. The
firm of Bowen ~ Fox, stock brokers
of Philadeldhia, in a letter renting a
years subscription, explicitly states
that there is a lively feeling OF interest
in financial circles relative to Nevada
mines, and speaks OF the fame of Eure-
ka District as having reached that staid
old city. The New York Engineering
Journal, discussing the amt tendency,
saws: "As an evidence of the interest
that il being taken in mining invest
illttii~t ~ may wv 'NR ''NS NbN
which were held at SI259Sl50 at the
opening OF the year have sold this
week at $500, and $500 Is now bid. On
the regular Stock Exchange the rail-
road and other stocks have been held
by strong operators and cliques since
last summer, and every effort on the
part of the ordinary s%peculators to do
business there has resulted disastrous
". The result of this is to direct spec
ulation to other channels and leave the
cliques and capitalists with the good
things they try to make the public be-
lieve they hold. Should the interest
now manifested continue or increase,
we are likely to see suitable facilities
for making transfers of all of our
prominent dividend stocks. and in adj
dition have added to the list numerous
very worthy mines that are not now
represented in any exchange. There
we're several good mines bought here
last year, but as the business OF the
Mining Exchange bore at that time a
very unhealthy appearance their en-
trance on the list was not sought"

LeHersanian Wrath.

Billy Anderson, ell-known here

Jeffersonian Club, of which he was
President, held a meeting the other
night and expelled him. This proba-

OUR MINERAL. AT PARIS,


.
The committee, who, it will be re-
membered, issued a circular to the
Nevada mine owners, soliciting contri-
buttons of specimens for exhibition at
the Paris Exposition, address the pub
lie as follows. The action of the
California Legislature is in strik-
ing contrast with that of Nevada,
who, two years ago, appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of securing
to our State a creditable representation
of our mineral at the Cen
t%ennial. The COW county Changers
of California have very little interest in
rocks, or rock sharps, hence their
stingy action:
To THE PUBLIC: The undersigned,
appointed by the California Commits
sion for the Paris Exposition of 1878,
and assigned the task of creditably
representing the Pacific Coasts mineral
wealth at the Exposition, accepted the
duties with pleasure, and without COM
pensation, save to the curator, who
gave his undivided attention to the COL
lection and classification of the speci-
mems.
Before commencing our labors, the
Finance Committee asked and received
our estimate of the total expense at.
tending the collection, classification
and packing, together with a Commits.
sioner to accompany and care for the
collection. The total we set down al
the moderate sum of $500.
We were told 20 commenced the work,
which we did by issuing circulars to
all parts of California, Nevada and
Arizona.
In answer to our circulars came
specimens and words of appreciation
and encouragement. The press every
where seconded our efforts and rem
dered all the assistance in its power.
Wells, Fargo 81 Co. and the Central
Pacific Railroad Company granted all
transportation free, which we appre-
ciste, and we tender to them our
thanks for their public spirit; also to
Edward Bosqui for his readiness to
render aid by printing the required
circulars, labels, etc.; also to the Safe
Deposit Company for the use of their
valuable rooms.
In prosecuting the work expenses
were incurred, and we necessarily
made demands on the Finance Com
mittee, but received nothing; still we
were urged to proceed, as the Legisla-
ture would certainly make an appro-
p~riation, but this failed.
The chairman of this committee ap-
pealed to the San Francisco Board of
Brokers, through their President and
Finance Committee, for aid only to the
amount of $500. This also was denied.
The object of this statement is to
show that not one dollar has been fur
nished to carry on the work, which
fact we deem due to ourselves to make
known to the public.
We have decided that unless we have
immediate assurance of aid from some
source, it will be necessary to abandon
the mineral exhibit for the Paris Exhi-
bition of 1878.
We shall place all donations in charge
of the California State Geological So
ciety, subject to the order of the donors.
We take this action with regret, but
there seems no alternative.

The Lecture To.night.

The lecture of Rev. John Laird this
evening, on the beauties and glories of
Yosemite, promises to be a very inter-
esting one, and should attract a large
audience. The gentleman has quite a
reputation in San Francisco as a popu-
lar lecturer, and we hope that his in
PRODUCTION to the Eureka public in that
role tonight will be but the first OF a
course to be delivered by him.

The Latest From Sacramento.

The following, culled from last
nights exchanges, Is the latest on the
situation at Sacramento. The fact that
the lines were all down yesterday, led
to grave apprehensions as to the dam
age at that point:
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 19.
1t rainea here from 3 A.. NJ. until IL
A. NJ, but not so hard as Yesterday.
The levee break on the Yolo side is re-
ported six miles below Washington,
but the Sacramento levees are all sound
and ecure
We are Withholding no facts on the
question of overflow, and will not.
Whatever happens, we will report it
t%ruthfully. There is no suffering, but
much discomfort is imposed on those
south of r street, and some are incon-
venienced by sewerage water inside
the levee. The American is
the source of apprehension to-
night. 1t has been raining hard on
the Upper American and Sacramento,
and we expect higher water than at
any previous time this winter.
The levees are considered safe. but
much alarm is felt because of the con-
junction of high water in both rivers
at the same time. The crisis will come
within forty-eight hours. The present
rains will do the worst that can possi-
bly, happen. The conclusion is, much
apprehension, some danger, but no
considerable actual damage.

SNOW ON the Nierras.

Papers from the West report 20 feet
OF snow on the summit of the Sierras
on the morning of the 10Th. If the late
warm rain carried off any considerable
portion OF this vast accumulation, Sac
ramento Is assuredly doomed.

THE VACANT OMMISSIONER
SHIP.

1t is now a settled fact that there is a
vacancy in our Board of County Com
missioners. A letter has been received
from Mr.. Oberer by a gentleman re-
siding in Eureka, stating that he will
not return to the United States. He
has purchased property in Germany,
and intends to remain permanently in
the land of his nativity. This removes
all doubt concerning the vacancy, and
leaves the way clear for the Governor
TO appoint. But right here comes the
rub. The Governor is a candidate Tor
a third term. He has received a dozen
or more applications for MIR. Oberer's
official shoes, and he hesitates TO desig-
nate any one. lest he should make enc
mics. Under these trying circum-
stances, he has clothed Hon. Geo. w.
Baker with full power to har-
monte matters. Mr.. Baker is
now busily engaged in interviewing
the various applicants with the view
of inducing them to unite on some
person who will give satisfaction, and at
the same time further the "old mans"
third term aspirations. The idea is a
good M and its execution could not
have been entrusted to ADLER hands
than Senator Bakers. BY this means
the fight is transferred from Carson
to Eureka. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Baker will duly weigh and con-
slider the claims OF all aspirants.
Those who have a weakness for the
vacant position should not hesitate to
come forward at once. Let each a
make his showing and then let all
retire in good order except the lucky
individual who may be selected by
Senator Baker as the proper person
for the place. In no other way can
we get the vacancy filled, as the
Governor will decline to choose from
"a number of applicants. At all events,
this is what we have understood from
Senator Baker since his return from
the Capital. The public nov know as
much about the situation as we do,
and those who are interested can gov.
ern themselves accordingly.

No Dispatches from the West.

The flood and storm prevailing in
California has derapged and broken
down the wires. and cut off photographic
communication, depriving us of our
Coast dispatches and evening stock re-
port. The same cause delayed the
overland train yesterday, and as a con-
sequence, the e. e. P. passenger train
did not arrive in Eureka until 1890
this morning. By a private dispatch
received yesterday, we learn that the
inundation at Sacramento had not
subsidized, and that serious fears were
entertained for the safety of a portion
of the Capital city. W. hope our dis
patches to-day will chronicle the SUBJ
sidence of the ocean of water that is
devastating the low lands of the river
counties of our sister State.

RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.

There is quite a controversy going on
in the columns OF the London Mining
Journal among the shareholders of the
Richmond Company, as to the policy
Of increasing the regular dividends.
We give a sample below OF the argu.
ments used on both sides of the ques-
ton:
SIR: In the supplement to last
weeks journal a letter appeared on
the above mine, signed "Forethought,"
advising the directors not to increase
the dividend. 1t is evident Fore
thought" knows little of common
arithmetic, or he would not have
penned such an epistle. 1t was stated
at the meeting that the profits for No
vember were "a ,000I., the average
weekly returns being S73, $50; the aver
age for December $50 5000, with the
same number of furnaces. / believe
the cost would be less on account OF
the ore being richer. In the same pro-
portion the profits for December would
tie 29, 000L. the average weekly returns
for January SAY 500, 600, that would
leave a profit for this month of As, 000t.
altogether for three Llonths, IS, 000L.
\ dividend of rs. Cd. per share would
absorb SAY $4,000. debeutures to pay
off l 10000, leaving a balance to carry
over OF 81, 000E., and yet "Forethought"
advises the directors TO carry over 50,-
000i., and pay only Is. Cd. per share.
There is a feeling amongst the share
holders that they are fairly entitled to
an increased dividend, and nothing
less will satisfy us. LUCEM.

SIR: / quite agree with the ideas of
OF "Forethought," as expressed in the
supplement to last weeks Journal.
There should certainly be a reserve
fund of money created, looking to the
TACT that the reserve fund of ore is being
exhausted at the rate of over 1000 tons
per week, Notwithstanding that the
mining report shows only one good
end with ore in the forebreast, all the
others being poor, and the disputed
ground cannot be touched for two
years or more, even assuming that the
legal decision is in favor of this com
pany. What imprudence, then, it
would be for the directors to declare
swollen dividends, tending to the ne
cessity of again resorting to mortgage
debentures upon the first failure OF ore
which, unless new discoveries of ore
are made, may be expected before long,
at the rate of exhaustion, of over 900
tons a week. quite think ''Investor"
would have chosen "A better nom de
plume, "Speculator," according to the
views he takes; but perhaps il he con-
siders that the mine is now selling at
present price (say, 81. per share) for
495, 000t. sterling, without the deben-
lures, as a real investor he may have
the same wish to create a reserve fund
as "Forethought'' has, but what he
expects the Increased value" to be is
an enigma to EYE OPENER.
