Two Eureka sportsmen ms Their
adventures

We have received the following commu-
n~ication from Palisade. 1t is slightly per-
sonal in its nature, and the incidents are
neither very exciting nor p~erilous, but
having learned that it was written and sent
for publication with the full consent Of the
parties thereto, we comply with accompa-
nying note, and shove her in:"
PALIsADE, New, June is, 1873.
EDrroR SENTINEL: About 6 O'Clock to-
day our usual quiet village was thrown
into q terrible state of frenzy by the arrival
Of two tramps from Eureka, who came
down Pine creek on foot, all covered with
mud and quagmire. Timid people, on
their approach, thought it was the advance
guard Of the Bannocks, bent on taking the
town; but on their coming nearer, it was
discovered that one wore a plug hat, and
that each had a fish-pole on his shoulder.
We then breathed easier, for we knew it
was q g limb Of the law and not a hostile
savage. OF all the forlorn-looking, God
forsaken, despatched and dilapidated
looking individuals that ever graced Pail
SADIE, were John Il. Baker and James Kelley.
After refreshments at the bar, they were
asked the cause Of their dirty appearance.
They said they got off the train fifteen
miles from here, and fshed as they sailed
Town the creek-the Humboldt. Kelley
said, "How in the devil could we help it?
When we first left the train we started
straight for the creek, and when we got
there we were attacked by myriads of mos
quitoes, deer flies, sand flies, humble bees
and snakes
"But how about all this mud on your
clothes?" was inquired.
"Well, you see," he said, " after we had
gone three or four miles down the creek, a
band of cattle-mostly bulls-came after
us with heads down and tails up, and all
we could do was to take to the creek and
tule swamps. John climbed a willow, and
l being short had to dive in the creek up
to my neck to get away from the Texas
steers, and then they almost reached me
with their horns" Baker was also asked
how he came TO be covered with mud, and
If he climbed the tree. He said about
three miles up the creek from here he
found a nice school of trout in a deep hole
in the bend of the creek; he was standing
on a high bank about six feet above the
water perpendicular; that he caught a
trout three feet long and brought him to
the top Of the bank. As soon as the fish
touched the ground he gave a grand flop
and broke loose from the hook and fell
back into tho creek, and, to use his wi
language, las soon as the fish went over
the bank / followed, thinking that mas
much as / was heavier than the fish |
would overtake him before he struck the
water. The result was that the fish reached
the water just little ahead Of me, and be-
ing better acquainted around there than
myself made good his escape. All / re-
ceived for this daring adventure was mud
and slush, but before reaching here We
caught two of the Beauties"
Riley goes north tomorrow 10 join Den
mis- command as a forager and hunter, and
Baker goes to Elko this afternoon in time
to speak a piece to Judge Flack in the Dis
trict Court. HUMBOLDT.

An observation, which has just been made
in the American press, says a London pa
per o: recent date, with reference to the
United States, is equally applicable to this
country. AT no time in the history Of min
ing enterprises has ii been more necessary
for all true friends of that great and vital
industry, and all legitimate workers in this
wide field of labor, to frown down and ex-
pose all attempts, by whomsoever made, to
convert it into an arena of greedy, reckless
speculation, without regard to true values
or honest returns. The lessons Of the
past will not soon be forgotten; and now
that capital is ready and willing TO coop
crate with honest labor, it behooves every
man who is interested in mining as a legit-
innate business to guard it jealously against
fraud and deception. 1t is essential that
capitalists should lie put on their guard
against those who are too ready to mislead
the public by extravagant promises which
can never be realized. Above all let the
basis upon which promoters assume to do
business be established beyond doubt, and
the evidence of the values which they place
upon mining property be lifted above sus-
picion. Then, and not till then, will the
public properly respond to the invitations
to come into that broad and attractive field;
the labors Of OR honest, Woodworking
miners be appreciated and rewarded: and
the great vital mining interests Of the
country be established on a permanent, Sc
cure, and widening foundation.

In looking over Clay Simms' cabinet, We
noticed a ~tarantula's nest, one of the most
singular curiosities Of nature. 1t is con-
structed Of clay and small stones, and is
about four inches long and two inches
wide. A hole three-quarters of an inch in
diameter passes through it lengthwise, one
end Of which is closed by a trap-door, bev-
eled on the top, and fitting SO perfectly
that when closed scarcely a sign Of the
opening is visible. The door is rounding at
the top, perfectly straight at the bottom,
and works on q hinge constructed on the
same principle as the joints on which a
door hangs. The nest is lined with a soft
gossamer substance, and is as round as if
bored with ar anger. 1t is said that the
tarantula, when attacked, crawls into its
nest and closing the trap door, secures it
by inserting n Of its legs through astaple
scarcely distinguishable to the naked eye.
These ~tarautula nests are quite a curiosity,
yet they are found in great numbers in
Calaveras, Tuolumne and Stanislaus coun-
ties in California. Visitors returning from
the Yosemite can find them all along the
stage road plentifully.

The Masonic Bali.

The parties who propose to attend the
Masonic ball, on next Monday evening,
are promised a delightful treat. The COM
mittee in charge are doing all in their
power to make it as pleasant as possible,
and we feel assured that their efforts will
prove successful. The best of music
will be provided, and a new can
vas to dance on is being made,
and will be laid down. This
last is a very important feature. as the la
dies are guarded against the soiling of their
costumes, and can appear in their choicest
and most elegant toilettes. The Opera
House will be Handsomely decorated and
brilliantly lighted, and both ladies' and
sentlemen's cloak and retiring rooms will
be placed at the disposal Of guests free Of
charge.

The many Base Range friends of Charlie
Goodwin will doubtless be interested in
knowing how he stands the racket on his
first born. The Gold Hill Aolcs explains
his condition as follows 'Charlic Good
yin, OF the Enterprise, is not responsible
for anything at the present time except a
certain little responsibility mentioned under
the head Of births lie goes about roll
ing up his eyes in q sort Of serio-comic
manner whistling Baby Mine. and look
ing slyly one side and the other to see if all
his friends take particular notice Of him.
One minute be walks slowly and mcdita-
lively, wiping off his chin and stroking his
blonde moustache, and next minute he
gives his cane a twirl and switches of into
a sort of jubilant skip. He feels like d
bonanza quartctte all the time now, and
don't know whether to start a church re-
yival or join a circus. He finds hosts Of
friends to congratulate and sympathize
with him.

Richmond CONSOLIDATED.

Telegram from the mine at Eureka, Ne
vada- Weeks run, $75, 900, from 11i0 tons
Of ore. Weeks produce Of refinery, $780,
600. Since my last report there is nothing
of any importance to report from the mine.
Developments have been carried on with
the usual vigor, and with very good results.
The furnaces were shut down three hours
on account Of d breakage in the engine it
was speedily repaired, and all was at work
again OF Saturday evening. The driving
Of the 200 level has been suspended, and
the men put to cross-cut to explore the
limestone. The Wine below the 200 is
down sc feet the last Is feet has been
poor, but the present bottom of the winze
shows a narrow streak of very good ore.
The 400 main drift is in hard limestone.
The drift from No. Z chamber towards the
shaft has been drifted 100 feet ; the first 100
feet were in limestone, and the remainder
in very good ore. This developments adds
considerably to the reserves. The winze
below the 400, from No. 7 chamber, Is
down GO feet the bottom is in limestone
the ground is much more favorable for
sinking. We are pushing On the sinking
OF this winze with all possible speed to
onnect with the 500 cross-cut to facilitate
The working OF the ore below the 400.
There is no material change in the several
slopes they are all looking very well, and
are turning out large quantities Of good
ore. The 500 cross-cut is in more favorable
ground for drifting, consequently better
progress is being made. The 600, on quart
ize, is without any change as soon as con-
nection is made from the 400 to the 500 q
winze will be sunk to connect with the 600
for ventilation. The 800 rise, on the line,
is still in ore. but not quite 50 good as last
reported. The quartzite is now lattening,
which is a very good indication for ore.
The 300 is without change, and still shows
good indication for ore. The Slopes in
bottom OF Lizette tunnel are without alter
alton

Communicated
GENERAL II. f.. COxyOR.

EDrroR SENTINEL In an article which
appeared in the State Journal Of the goth
instant, language is made use Of calculated
to do injustice to a deserving gentleman.
1 refer to General p. E. Conner, in which
the editor says that the people Of the State
of Nevada have not been made familiar
with any acts of the General which should
entitle him to be pushed ahead Of Daggett,
Batterman, Kinkead or Tyrrsll." Had the
writer of the article spoken of his own
knowledge, and not 'for the people Of the
State" he might have known whereof he
wrote.
The facts are that General Conner fought
Indians in the State of Nevada, while per-
haps Mr.. Powning was wedding potatoes
upon the farm in one of the Eastern States
also expanding his means in the develop
mont OF the country that such men as Mr..
Powning might enjoy the emoluments
while he was actively engaged in the snb-
lection Of the Indians of our immediate
vicinity, the volunteer troops from Nevada
serving under him.
Again, in the same article, the Generals il
denominated as a carpet-baeger. If almost
six years continuous residence in the
State, and being continuously identified
with its mining interests since 1S64-he
having in that year sent a prospecting
party to Phoebe, und writing the District
laws himself-constitutes a carpet-bagger,
then is he one.
The facts ere. that General Connor has
intimately identified himself with mining
interests in Utah Territory and Nevada
ever since 1868, and in no other place. In
1872 he purchased the large reduction
works at Oreana ON the Humboldt, and at
the same time was mining extensively at
Phoebe, and also in Utah Territory, diyid-
ing his time between these places, but
making Nevada his residence. Carpet
Dagger, forsooth The term applied to
the General is an insult to al honest man,
a brave soldier who has fought our battles,
and one well deserving to be our standard
bearer in the coming campaign; which if
intrusted to him, success must follow.
Feeling it an honor, l subscribe myself
ONE OF HIS OLD SOLDIERS.

A married woman, eyes swollen with
crying, and a general pitiful demeanor,
was making the rounds of the different
saloons Thursday evening, in search Of her
husband. She had failed to find him at
the time we met her, and was very much
distressed over his conduct, telling the
following story: She claimed to have
earned, by her own labor, the sun Of $50,
beside supporting her miserable brute of q
companion in idleness during that time.
She had laid away her little wad in what
she supposed was q secure place, but he
had found and appropriated it, and she,
knowing his habits, was hunting the
saloons with a view to recover at least a
portion Of the coin before he had squan-
dered 1t. We hope sls succeeded.

They tell . very good story on a minis
ter in . neighboring town. He thought
he recognized a lady friend leading a little
boy up the street, and stepping TO her side
he asked, why, Mary, where did you
get that child?" The scarlet face in
she said, and the good old man had some
thing to think about all the way home to
dinner:

New Rock DriII.

A new mining tool is in use in England
called Jordan's patent hand rock drill. An
English paper says a.successful trial was
held lately at q quarry in Yorkshire.
Several holes of various depths we're drilled
in the bottom and lodges Of the quarry, at
rates varying from two to three inches per
minute. The rapidity with which two men
can put down holes in the hardest rock
created much surprise. The drills used
were IL inches in diameter, and shaped
like the letter s, though a chisel or cross
shaped point has been found to give equally
good results in other cases.

II there be merchant in Richmond
whose sales induce him TO believe there is
too much money in circulation we shall be
glad to lear of it. Wing.
And we shall be sorry to hear that there
is single merchant in Richmond who is
such fool as to suppose that he would be
better off il the present valuable green
backs were done away with, and the land
flooded with fiat money such as that for
which Turkish workingmcn have recently
refused to work. We want more money as
badly as any merchant does. We would
gladly fall upon some plan by which our
pockets could be filed. But we have TO
work hard for all we get; and as we shall
have to work just as hard for the irrcdeem-
able trash as we do for the good green
backs, and get no more OF them for our Ia.
Dor, we prefer 10 hold on to what we have.
But even II we could get ten of the bogus
dollars for every one of the good dollars
that we now earn, we should still be the
loser, as it would take twenty, and perhaps
fifty, Of them to buy one real dollar.
