Mr.. Jas. Gergas, an old resident of
Hamilton, a number of whose well
written letters have heretofore appear
ed in heSENTINEL, gives a very gloomy
ia that Eldorado. He says, ''that with
out any circumloction the outlook is

Hanyilie and Vicinity.

Mr.. j. l.. Smith returned from Dan
vile on Thursday last, bringing in Mr..
Alex. Trippel, Manager of the mine at
that district. Mr.. Smith reports the
company's locations as looking well,
much better, in fact, than when he
was there a month since. There is a
force of 20 miners at work, sinking in
the different claims, and the Boston
and Green Mountain show streaks OF
me ore that will probably lead to a
good body.
In Fish Lake Valley the grass is
s.pringing up and the stock is improv-
ing rapidly. VIM. Mansfield and
frank Miller, who W extensive
ranches at that point have about fin,
ished putting in their crops. They,
with their families, will arrive in town
tomorrow. Miller claims that it is a
business trip, but Mansfield acknowl.
edges the corn, and says he is coming
up to look at the trained elephants.

Jack Perry, the old time whip, butat
present engaged at the Consolidated
mine, loading the ore cars, had a very
narrow escape from death yesterday.
He was working in the ore bin when
his foot slipped, n leg going down
the shute. The jar of the fall shook
an immense amount of dirt, burying
him underneath. Fortunately the men
below witnessed the accident, and
fastened to the rescue. All there was
to be seen OF poor Jack was a hand,
and that gave them a clue to his local
ity. They worked like Trojans to ex-
tricate him, and succeeded in doing it
just in time to save him from suffoca-
ton. He was very weak and COM
pletely exhauted when taken out, but
recovered shortly. No bones were
broken, although he vas severely
bruised, and when we met him last
evening, smelt strongly of arnica.
Jack is a veteran stage driver, and we
are indebted to him for many a first
class item, but we do not care to have
him killed Just to furnish us with an.
other m hence we congratulate him
on his escape.

Underground improvements.

An old miner, taking a view of the
rear Of r. Sadler & Co.'S store, would
imagine that he had found the en-.
trance to a first, class mine. A large,
roomy underground passage. way leads
from the establishment, a distance of
fifty feet, to an immense warehouse
10Y being built on Monroe street.
This latter has been excavated out of
the solid ground, and it will be walled
up with solid masonry. The roof will
be on a level with Monroe street and
the floor with Main street. Goods
landed at the front door of the estab-
lishment can be run through into the
warehouse without trouble Oh delay.
Mr.. Sadler is making these improve
ments in order to obtain more room,
and during his absence at San Fran
cisco will purchase An immense stock
of first-class merchandise, one of the
largest ever brought to Eureka. Look
out for its arrival.

The Circus.

The circus will arrive tonight, and
two performances will be given to-
morrow. The ALta, speaking of its
appearance in San Francisco, says:
The procession of Forepaugh's circus
and menagerie in III city yesterday
was the grandest street pageant ever
made in this city. The gilded chariots,
shining like gold; the gaily capari-
soned horses; the helmeted cavalcade
of horsemen, glittering in spangles;
and the banners, all made the most
gorgeous procession II could we'll
expect to see-dazzling to the eye and
Dewildering 10 the senses. The pro.
cession was witnessed by the largest
crowd of people that has ever been
called u on a like occasion in San
Francisco. The tents, mammoth in
proportions, were crowded both in the
the afternoon and evening, several
special trains bringing crowds of people
from neighboring towns. The menag-
erie comprises the largest and best col
lection of animals hat has ever been
exhibited on the Pacific Coast, and the
circus performance was certainly never
surpassed, if equalled, in u city.

A new,rdered SHAREHOLDER.

A complaining shareholder airs his
grievances in the London Mining Jour
nal as follows:
II observe a very wholesome warn
ing that you give to the shareholders
ia base bullion American mines: and
il the case of the Richmond Company,
whose refinery returns are gradually
diminishing, is it not all the more e
essary that bona tde stockholders
should know what The weekly return
of so much in the gross is represented
by? This company claims to be pro-
ducing some 800, 900 to 800, 900 per
week from ore smelted. The refinery
puts out from $4,000 to $50, 900 only,
taking the figures advertised as cor
rect. If, as the a is stated, the lead
is practically not worth shipping, then
the whole cost of mining, smelling.
ETC., has to fall upon the refinery. II
this be so, the stockholders will some
day have a very unpleasant awakening
from a dream that they have lately
been indulgipg in. A little candor and
ex~ planation of these matters on the
part of the management would be of
much advantage to the bona Jfde stock
holders"
He evidently imagines that the dis
crepancy between the returns of the
furnaces and the refinery is a total
loss, not knowing that the capacity of
the latter is not sufficient to handle the
crude bullion yield. Ii he could glance
at the stacks of bullion accumulated in
and around the works, he might posi-
bly, be content to possess his soul in
peace, and not rush into print with a
communication that proves him to be
an ass.

ake Off nY the Ear.

A boisterous individual, loaded up
with kill-devil whisky, took a contract
to run the town last night. His first
act was the attempt to batter down
Hank Knights saloon with the jack
son House chairs. Failing in bringing
the building to the ground with these
missiles, he announced himself'as a
tighter from the lower regions, and
just begged for somebody worthy OF
his metal t o tackle him. Officer Mckee
accepted the challenge, took the fellow
by the ear, and walked him into Jail,
where he now quietly reposes. A
charge of disturbing the peace was
entered against him, and he will tell
Justice Cromer al about it to morrow.
He was a member of the John Doe
family.

The Concert Last Night.

The concert at the Methodist Church
last evening was a very entertaining
event, and much enjoyed by the audi
ence. The proficiency of the ladies
and gentlemen who took part in the
programme was surprising. and re-
fiected credit not only on their talent,
but also demonstrated that Professor
Rutan was a thorough and competent
musician. The programme was so
long that we have not space to COM
mant in detail. The solos, duets, and
uuartelteS were we'll rendered, and
throughout the entire performance the
effects of skillful training, combined
with the possession on the part of the
vocalists of excellent voices, was the
noticeable predominating feature. We
hope the Professor will repeat the con
cert.

held on the first Monday of April,
1878.
Commissioner Page stated that he
had made a verbal report on Monday,
May 6th, in regard to plans and speci

asked that the minutes of said date be
amended so as to show that the said re-
port was so made on said day. No &C

aye, and Mr.. Horn, nay.
Messrs. Read and Montgomery made
a verbal report upon the plans and
specifications submitted to them, said
report to be reduced to writing here

The Lead Market.

At present there is no favorable turn
in this metal, or any indication of the
downward tendency beng arrested; on
the contrary, the over-supply continues
to exercise a marked depreciating effect
upon the market. The fall, however,
has already been very considerable,
and it is thought by some, says the
Mining Record, that the reduction
must shortly cause several mines to
close, and that the production will con-
sequently be diminished; but as yet
there is no diminution, and according
to the last Board of Trade returns the
imports for the first quarter of this
wear amounts to 4I2,66S cwts, against
1851 cwts., in the corresponding pc
Rod of 1877, whereas the exports show
no increase whatever. 1t is undoubt-
edIy in the interest of consumers to
have low prices, and possibly sellers
too, for a time, as low prices must nat
uraily tend to the expansion of trade,
and il should be the endeavor of pro-
ducers to supply cheaply rather than
to reduce production for the mere sake
of u%pholding prices. If the former
prices are not realizable, which is rare
" the case with any business just now,
the deficiency should be made by eff
fecting larger sales, and get it out OF
quantity in place of price. The mar
ket is lower than 1t has been for the
last quarter of a century, and the IA
vorable opportunity for etfecting re-
pairs, making alterations, and com
mencing of fresh work Will at once be
taken advantage of.

The European War has been progress
ing rapidly to a close during the past two
weeks, despite the heavy SHOWS of the
Balkans. The most advantageous passes
over this range lof mountains, have been
captured by the Russians. Nisch and
Antiyari, together with several minor
points, have been captured by storm by
the Russian forces and their Seryian al
lies. Large numbers of prisoners have
been captured, and the prostration Of
Turkey is becoming more complete every
day. The Porte has appointed Server
and Namyk, Pashas, Peace Commission
ers to meet the Grand Duke Nicholas at
sKezanlik to arrange for peace, but in
the meantime che Russians are pressing
for every advantage. Adrianople is the
5nextimportant Turkish stronghold which
will be attacked, and Constantinople will
follow in turn, if peace is not made.
England, no doubt, would like to inter-
fere, but her condition is such. as to for
bid it. She has no strong allies now,
and could not contend against the COM
binations Russia has made; hence,
though she may do great deal of growl-
ing about the settlement, she is not
likely to be seriously in the way of an
early peace.

The committee appointed to inyesti-

with its work, and the result Of its labors
promises to give us atleast one good, old
fashioned criminal trial in this State. If
|it;can be shown, as alleged, that Corbin
paid OFF the Mackey House members for
voting for him, he is clearly guilty of
bribery, for the offense is complete, al
though the Mackey House was not q
legal House. The offer of a bribe is a
crime under our laws, and although
these men were not in a legal House. yet
they were members ofsthe Legislature; /;
besides, there were Senators who were
sworn into the legal Senate. We hope,
at least, that;he will be. brought to trial,
and allow the courts to decide these ques-
tions. There are various other charges
against him, and ifa man ever did de-
serve punishment he does. His course
in South Carolina has been tyrannical,
corrupt and infamous. : he has earned
his board for life in our State Penitentia-
~ a hundred times oyer, if he could be
dealt with according to the equity of his
actions, and we believe the technical
rules of the. law would compensate him
for his notorious public services ~ in
this State by a lengthy term of residence
|in our State prison.
