Communicated
GENERAL p. T.. CONNER.


NM VA ~
EDIroR SENTINEL: l have seen and read
an article, purporting to come from the
Reno State journal, which might lead
some persons who are not acquainted with
General Conner to believe that he is a new
conner and a late arrival upon the Pacific
coast. This insinuation, in regard to the
gentleman mentioned, must come from
one who is either q member Of a very i;no-
rant family, or with a deliberate intent -
injurc the prospects Of one of our highly
respected citizens. I would ask of you,
Mr.. Editor, to PROFOUND tie Journal a
question: Do you know General Conner?
Again, are you well Informed as to the
.. History Of the Map7" He has for years
lived and been identified with the interests
Of our people. He has proven himself to
be, not only a true and gallant soldier,
but. also, a gentleman in private and pub
lie life. He presents to the people a record
unstained. He has shown, BY his acts, that
he is com petent and trustworthy. Can
not the people of Nevada entrust their in
tcrests in the hands Of such a man? /
think they can. He packed his knapsack
in the Mexican. war, as a private soldier,
aad, by his OWL exertions and merits, has
advanced 10 the rank which lie now holds.
He is no carpet-bagger. He does not carry
with him, as he goes about attending to
the regular so;ttine Of business, tie APP
pearance Of a new conner. He is with the
people, and has for years been striving 10
assist in developing tie resources Of Neyada.
Staunch and true; active in the business Of
every day life. Can we mol trust a man
who his been triel and found true in pri-
yate life at the "helm of State as our
Governor? Perhaps the editor Of the
State journal has some selfish end which
he wishes to accomplish in speaking Of
General Conner a. a .'carpet-bagger-" Mr..
Editor of the Journal, did you ever hear OF
neighbor Conner when he was attending
to business in Phoebe during the year 1871?
He was interested in the mines, and took
an active part in the demonstration which
was made at the time of the reception of
the first dispatch which was received at
Phoebe over the wires? He was the first
to send dispatches to General Grant, the
Governor Of New York, the Governors Of
other States, and to the Governor OF
Utah. He has been and Ii identified with
the interests of our entire State. A plain
spoken gentleman at all times. Let the
citizens reflect and act. If they wish to
have a good and true Governor, a man that
will, with true dignity and ability, Look
after their interests and the welfare of
all, they will pass such articles by as the
one which appeared in the State Journal
with contempt. PIONEER MINER.

S-upERrNTEDEST OF Schools. - J. d.
Hammond, who is seeking the Republican
nomination for State Superintendent of
Public Instruction, we learn is a near rel
alive of the Bancrofts, book publishers.
This fact should not be overlooked, for in
the event Of Mr.. Hammond's nomination
and election a change in school books may
be looked for every year, when some very
responsible growing will be in order from
the heads Of families. II is well enough to
look out for such points in advance.
REPUBLICAN APpoRT1oSMENT.-The re-
monstrancss Of the Republicans Of Lincoln

delegates instead of five in the Convention,
this being agreed to by most Of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee.

dulced in about six-horse Concord coaches,

During the past week 20 feet was made
in the upraise above the 259-foot level,
which makes a total Of LAG feet. The top
is still in good ore. This vein il now
about 80 feet east OF the vein followed

Below the 250-foot level in the Wine there
is but little change. Northeast DRIFT flom
bottom of winze shows some improvement.
We are putting in an air pipe to extsnd to
bottom OF Wine, which will greatly faciii-
tate the work in that portion Of the mine.
The air has been close in the winzc FOX the
past few days.
Four hundred and fifty foot-Main south
drift was advanced II feet, making a total
Of 400 fest from turn table. The face is in
the most favorable character Of vein mat

An EIezant Ans brilliant AFFAIR.

An Elegant ana AsriIifant Annir.
The ball given last night by Eureka
Lodge No. 16, +. & A. NJ, was one Of the
most elegant affairs of the kind that the
citizens Of Eureka nave ever been favored
with, and gave universal satisfaction to all
who attended. The Committee Of Arrange
ments had done their WORK thoroughly and
we'll, and every detail in the programme
was q perfect success. The hall was decor
ated in a tasteful and attractive manner
and with its festoons and wreaths of ever
greens and flowers, drew forth many ex-
pressions OF admiration from those present.
The attractions were still further enhanced
and multiplied by the reflections
cast from q perfect wilderness Of
large mirrors, arranged around the hall
in such a manner as to duplicate the bril-
liant costumes Of the ladies and magnify
the throng. A new canvass was stretched
over the floor, which made dancing an in
creased pleasure and perfect delight. This
also reflected the light from the numerous
chandeliers, and added much to the cheer
full appearance of the hall. The excellent
music furnished gave universal satisfaction
and reflected credit upon the band. Every
thing, in fact, connected with the pro-
gramme was OF tile very best, and the large
crowd in attendance showed their appreci-
alton by continuing the festivities to a late
hour-dancing still progressing as we
go to press. At midnight an
i~ntermission was given, and sup
per partaken Of at the several res
t%aurants, which gave general satisfaction.
This ball has been, not only an artistic,
but also a financial success, as about one
hundred couples were present, and which
were easily computed, from the fact that
ten sets of quadrilles were dancing at any
one time during the crowded part Of the
evening. Considering the large crowd in
attendance, and the many stylish costumes
Of the ladies, in connection with the social
standing Of every one present, this may be
conceded to be the most recherche party Of
the season, and the managers have every
reason to feel well satisfied with the re-
suits,

The Hillside mine, at Bristol pistri,t It,
owned by J. D. MCGEE and Senator Blair,
bears every promise of being a great prop
erty. MIR. Blair tells us that there is a
world of ore in sight. and at no point has
the full width Of the ledge or deposit been
ascertained. The ore averages we'll up
toward $50 per ton There is already $50
tons OF the dump, principally extracted in
sinking and running drifts, and without
stopping. The furnace of the company
goes into operation to-day, and the next
teams from Phoebe are expected to bli ,g
Hillside bullion. Mr.. MCGEE is givi ig
personal attention to the working Of the
property. He has never yet made a fail Ire
in Eastern Nevada, and we look for spl NJ
did results in this instance.

About moor yesterday, W. H. Clark's
team, attached to his new delivery wagon,
conceived the brilliant idea Of creating a
sensation by running away. Starting
from some point on the hill on the west side
of town, they dashed down Clark street,
turned into main, and wholly ignoring
their accustomed stopping place at the
store, continued at a rapid pace up town,
but concluded to make tracks for the sta
Bile. Turning down Spring street they
followed the line Of the ditch until within
sight of their feeding place. They carried
the wagon safely between the stable and
adjoining house, where their mad career
brought to a close by the obstruction
Of the high bank. Damage trifing. Uncle
Billy again in luck.
