LIVER is KING.-The Liver is the imperial or
gan of the whole human system, MS it controls
it is disturbed in its proper action. all kinds of
ailments are the natural result. The digestion
of food, the movements of the heart and blood,
the action OF the brain and nervous system, are
all iurmsdieto,y connected with the workings of
the liver. 1t has been successfully proved that
Green's August Flower is unequalled in curing
all persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint and all the numerous symptoms that
result from m unhe lthy condition of the Liver
and Stomach. Sample bottles to try, 10 cents.
Positively sold in all towns on the Western

Bio STEAL.--Fall River, Mass, April 25.-
The Border City Mills are closed, and the Saga
more Mills will shut down tonight. George T..
Hathaway, the defaulting treasurer, was in con-
sultation with his counsel during the most OF
last night, and to-day he was waited upon by n
committee of the directors. but they could obtain
no satisfaction as to what disposition he had made
of the stolen funds. 1t is acknowledged that
nll the directors are ruined. with the exception
of Chales p. Stickney. and he loses Sl50, 900 of
his investment of SlS0,000 in the corporation.
James L. Cunnen, hard working and honest
man, who was Superintendent of the Border
City mills, loses Sl5, 900, the savings Of thirty
five years toll. lie began life as mill boy, and
has worked his way up.
George L. Hathaway, the defaulting treasurer
was arrested tonight, and taken 10 the jail at
Taunton.
j. Angler Chace, whose recent deralcation of
a half million dollars in connection with the
Union Mills is fresh in the public mind, en-
phatically denies Hathaway's statement that
they were in collusion, and says that Hathaway
Is trying to throw the blame for his crime on
him. From all that can be asccrtained, there
can be no doubt that this defalcation will reach
S600.000.
The city is terribly excited and full of floating
rumors about The soundness of other Corpora
lions, but there is no foundation, as far rs is
known, for any of these stories.

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1878-02-09

The following official letter is copied
from the London Mining Journal OF
January 10Th:
Telegram from the mine In Eureka,
Nevada: Weeks run, $l05, 900, from
/ $50 tons of ore; weeks produce at
refinery, $50, 1000.
/ am glad to be able to report an i'm
provement 10 the 200 main DRIFT; since
my last We have drifled 80 feet in very
good ore, and the end is still looking
we'll. The western end of the 400 stope
Is very much improved; the ore is
widening, at present it looks very we'll.
The rise in the back of the 400 il up
90 feet on the quartzite, it shows occas-
sional stones of ore. The 500 cross
cut is without change, still in lime
stone. The 600 DRIFT has reached the
ouartzite, but no ore has been struck
at this point. We are now drifting on
the contact, where we expect to strike
ore In a short distance. The 800 drift
on the quartzite has been suspended,
but work will be resumed shortly.
The winze below the 900, on the fis-
sure, is down So feet; the ground is
very favorable for sinking. BY the
end Of January we shall have attained
a depth of 100 feet below the 900-foot
level. The furnaces are smelling their
usual quantity of ore; both furnaces
and machinery are in good working
order.

Ready for any Emergency.

Through the careful attention of
Superintendent Bliss, and by reason OF
the constant supervision exercised by
him over the fire plugs, there has been
no time this winter that they have not
been ready for any emergency. This
has been a very important matter, as
during the prevalence of the gales that
have swept over the town constantly,
the least delay on the occasion of a fire
might have resulted in the destruction
Of the business portion of Eureka.
Notwithstanding the intense cold
weather that has characterized the sea-
son, the wise precautions adopted by
Mr.. Bliss have prevented the freezing
or obstruction of the pipes and n.y.
drants. He deserves the thanks of the
community for his forethought and
w~atchfulneSs.

GCommunicated.I
n

The cabin of James Creighton, in the
south part of town was burglarized
early Thursday morning, the thieves
gaining access by prying open the door.
They stole everything the cabin con-
tanned, not leaving a vestise of any
thing of value behind, either food or
clothing. Mr.. Creighton is si~ngularly
unfortunate in this respect, this being
the second time he has been robbed
within the last thirty days. Scarcely
a day passes that we do not hear of the
doings of some of these robbers and
vagabonds who infest the town. Several
nights since a clothes line was robbed
south of the Richmond works. In the
same locality a well known itize was
ordered 10 throw up his hands. He
did so, but as the right hand contained
a whistler the scoundrels decamped on
the double-Guick. 1t seems there
should be some method by which the
town can be rid Of such an element.
No honest man is anxious to be com
PEELED to carry a Calling gun about
his person, or TO rave a shot
gun trap set in his house. We
cannot say that our officers are not
vigllant, yet we think something
might be done to initiate the evil;
such as enforcing the Vagrant Act, in
a degree, if not entire. sc as to gather
In those persons who, slowed away
during daylight, prowl about the town
o. nights in search of plumber. These
questionable characters are mostly
known, at least by our night officers.
We are informed that various parcels
aud bundles are frequently being
shipped to Palisade and other points
without any name attached, T.. o. ID.
If this is so, it m~anifestly means some
thing, and would be we'll to investi-
gate. A short distance up New York
canyon are several abandoned shafts
and tunnels, which has been the head
quarters of a questionable lot of men
for some time; in fact, the old tunnel
of the Tannehill Company is seldom
untenanted. There il a stone house at
the mouth of the canyon, also a stock
AIDE near by, which has borne a hard
name for several years. 1t is almost
exclusively the resort of such petty
thieves as infest the town at the pres
ent time. We would remind these i'm
pecunious cusses that the clothes line
is again full, and owing to the damp
weather prevailing, the clothes will re-
main hanging for probably a week
longer; also, that Mr.. Creighton will
not vacate his premises, but is getting
in another supply of provisions, and
will continue at the old stand.

Kicked the Wrong Dog.

He who NEEDLES in another's strife,
is like the one who fools around the
hind legs OF a vigorous mule; but your
average man can't help taking sides.
Take the instance Of the individual who
was present ut a Main street dog fight
yesterday. His sympathies were so
much excited by the unfortunate pre-
dicament of the under dog, that he ad.
ministered a kick to the n on top,
and was rewarded for his interference
by a knock-down blow from the indig-
nant owner of the winning canine. He
started off down town to get his ear
sewed up. and c~onfidentially informed
the doctor that his system had never
been so badly Jared since the day he
fell down a 200 foot shaft. He has lost
all interest in canine strife, and says
that all the dogs in the town may be
eternally chawed up before he allows
the better side of his nature TO be stirred
up in their behalf.

Fire Nennrtmenf.

We suppose, from the fact that no
meeting was held on the evening ofthe
9th instant to consider the propriety OF
electing a Chief Engineer of the Eu-
reka Fire Department., that the project
has been abandoned. The only OBJ
lection that we have heard urged
against it, vas the fear that the rivalry
and strife incidental to a choice would
create discomfort and dissension among
the companies. We have a very high
opinion Of our volunteer firemen, and
hardly agree with those who put for
ward this idea. The matter rests en-
tirely with the members of the organ-
i~zation, and we presume that they will
consider the benefits to accrue, and the
possible disadvantages in all their bear
ings, and decide accordingly.

Insane.

Some days ago Sheriff Sias arrested
a woman by the name of King on a
suspicion of insanity, she having shown
we'll defined symptoms of that mental
disease. She was confined in the ante.
room OF the Jail and made her escape
on Wednesday, but was recaptured in
the neighborhood of Dick Ryland's
residence and reincarcerated. Thursday
night she again escaped, finding egress
through the window, but was found
last evening by young John Horn, up
by the Richmond furnaces, and 10y
him escorted back to jail. We believe
that the unfortunate woman a at
one time a resident of Eureka, but has
for some time past been keeping a sta
ton on the Elko and Tuscarora road.
She is laboriDg under the hallucina
ton that she has been thrown into a

A Female UnpIeasantness.

A little shindy enlivened matters in
one of the lower level domiciles last
evening. The parties to the fray were
a Castilian damsel and a lady OF color.
The engagement is described as being
short, sharp and decisive, and resulted
in a victory Tor the ebony hued COM
Blatant. Finger nails, scratching and
hair pulling were the triumphant
measures adopted to decide the battle,
and our informant grew very enthu-
siastic over his description of the con-
test, a fault that would not have been
laid to our charge had we not been
short of local items. A concilatory
policy now prevails, aud the era of
good feeling has been established be-
tween the representatives of the two
races.

The late storms have been very

cattle and sheep men. A sufficient
quantity OF snow has fallen to replen-

lose flesh by reason of long journeys
to procure water, a fact that obtained
before the recent pluvial dispensations.
Enough has already fallen to not only
remedy this trouble but to also insure
a growth OF feed for the ensuing sea-
son. The outlook is a very bright one,
both in this respect, and in the en-

year will prove a very profitable one
