We extract from the Independent Of Sat
urday the following items of interest:
The admirable little town of Schell-
bourne, containing in its desertion some
fine buildings, is still under tho cloud of
its attempted prescription by G.. W. Os-
born. The Eureka Land Office and the
Commissions Of the Interior have decided
adversely to the attempted pre-emption,
on the ground that the place had been
dedicated to trade and business long before
the tastes Of Mr.. Osborn led him to sup
pose he could acquire an agricultural right
to the town. While the right Of appeal ex-
lists, the cloud over Schellbourne can only
be removed by the Secretary of the Interior.
At the Star mine this week there has
been no special change; the 400 level pre-
sents its usual good appearance. The
north slope shows a fair body OF ore of
high grade, and promises a long continu-
ance. The south slope is yielding its usual
quantity Of fine milling ore, and drifting
west in ore to intefsect an ore body known
to exist in that direction. They will have
to shut down for a short time for repairs.
They shipped eleven bars Of bullion this
week, including seven bars this, Saturday,
morning.
We have not yet had a frost. at least to
the knowledge OF the writer, though there
have been a number of nights so cold that
ice was on the water. Our atmosphere is q
little dry. and we thus lose the comforts of
many a white frost that are to be had in
other and damp6r chimes.
Mr. Mills, who resigned the foremanship
of the Star mine some three weeks ago,
has been reinstated. John Bews is the
night foreman.

The following is the official letter of Su-
pcrintendent Powell, forwarded to the
company's Office in San Francisco ON the
22nd instant:
EUREKA, Sept. %, 1878.
d, A. JENNINGS, Secretary: Since my
last report the ore slopes shove the ESQ
foot level show a marked improvement.
The ore body has width and the ore con-
tinues in quality to be first-class- We
have run adrift which connects the slopes
with the east winze which greatly facili-
tates the handling Of the ore. The ore
body is going down about 40 feet north of
the Wine below the 250-foot level. The
Slopes between the 250-foot and 450-foot
levels show no material change. There is
some improvement to note in the ore body
under the cave in 250-foot level. On $50
foot level, the vein cut near the end of the
south drift continues small, but is yield
ing some very rich ore. The 600-foot level,
south drift, continues in vein matter with
occasional punches Of ore.
Our ore dumps are filed with first-class
ore. We are now piliDg up what ore we
are hosting on q temporary dump.

Let the mani who has ever attended the
Colored Methodist services at any Of those
big plantations along Black river, east Of
G~reenville. Mississippi. step into the
Opera House and listen . few moments to
the Georgias, and the scenes Of Chose days
will com back as vivid as any past point
in history; there will be seen the same
characters, the same actions, the anne
voice and the same enthusiasm that used
to thrill them when, as youngsters, they
would watch the devout mokcs in terrible
earnestness calling for the most improbable
manifestations OF Divine interference to
check some frivolous mig. Let the man
who used to get in position in some old log
cabin, when q lad, to see which cotton
picker, male or female, had the best wind,
as he or she tried to kick up the sod longer
and stronger than any other could do-lct
this man go to the Eureka Opera House
before the Georgias leave, and there he

Last night, there was Bob Mack in his
hen %frolics, and his limitations Of the
chicken we're SO perfect that he kept the
overfowing hall roafihg like bedlams; and
his looks-well, he looked too much like
an innocent cherub to ever undertake the
mounting Of an untamed mule. And that
mule-well, he looked the worse for wear;
had India rubber ears, glass eyes and a
Missouri girls waterfall for o tail, but his
heels flew into the stomachs Of the brigade
like a bolt Of electricity into a cfotkery
store.
As a troupe, they are actors; their in
strumental endeayors were excellent, and
the singing was as it should be fit, good
and appropriate in every particular.
When we take into consideration the
fact that these men have been with
out sleep for the two nights previous
to last evenings performance. then their
endeavors are indeed p~raiseworthy. This
afternoon they will parade and treat our
citizens to some fine music upon the
streets. 1t is a show that will stand the
test Of repetition.

GENERAL
IFrom the Carson Appcal.l

I4A
ssOnce a captain, always q captain" So
says the old provefb. General Common was
the preference df the Appeal for the nom
nation for Governor upon the Republican
ticket. He vent before the Convention at
Eureka and was defeated. His successful
competitor Is worthy to win the laufels OF
such a victory. After his defeat the Gen.
eral called upon the writer at his hotel in
Eureka. Sorrow for the unlucky outcome
was expressed upon our side. .''YQu did
your part" said the General "and nobody
but myself is to blame" The county Of
Eureka is associated with Lincoln and
White Pine In d Judicial District. The
candidates for the Republican nomination
for Judge were Sabin and Davenport. On
the morning Of Thursday before the Con-
vention was ready to proceed to business,
the Eureka delegation got together and
resolved to give an individual support to
Connor. Also they pledged themselves to
support Davenport. When the Lincoln
delegation (Sabin's ~suppofters) learned
that the Eureka delegation were pledged
against their man for Judge, they went to
Conner and notified him that unless he
procured enough votes from Eureka to
help Sabin to secure his nomination, they
would vote against him. II cannot do
this with honor" replied the old soldier.
s'You will be defeated, them" was the
reply. $50 be it," answered the General;
and SO he was-defeated because he enter
tanned too high a sense of honor
to do q thing which lie did not
believe was right-defeated by three
votes, only. The Appeal has had no
purpose but to secure to the Republican
party the strongest available materials for
it's ticket. 1t believed in Connor's strength
because OF the glories which cluster about
his name. II is proud Of him in his hon
orable defeat. There is more true salts
faction in q turn OF fortune, thus brought
about, with all its adversaries, than in any
victory gained through a less honorable
and courageous course. Conner deserves
his high name. He is every Inch a soldier.
No reverse can wiring from him humanity
complaints ; O misfortune can suur him
against his party /; no disappointments can
cast him down or impair for one moment
the purity of Ills lofty patriotism no self
ish chdgrin finds any resting place within
his heroic heart ; not any personal mishap
can swerve him from a hope and purpose
to " defeat the rebel Democracy" H;nry
Kinkead has won the prize. He has done
SO honorably and like a man. Conner
bears with him within the privacy Of bis
stainless life an honor which is above the
allurements of Office. Let us rejoice that
there are such high-minded men as these
within our ranks-Kinkead to wear the
laurels Of victory, Common to wear the
laure,s of honorable defeat.

judged especially strong against their re-
spective opponents.

faith and energy:
BEowAwE, September II.
EDIToR SENTINEL: / am just back from q
trip to Salt Lake, whittier / went to look
into the mysteries Of their treatment Of
ore in Utah. l took along some twelve
tons of ore from the Osceola mine, and
they returned me an average Of S455 per
ton. 1t is needless to say that the s'returns"
were very satisfactory.
When we started work on the Osceola
mine, We had a four or six-inch c~revice,
but development has brought this result
that we now nave a vein Of from two to
three feet wide Of ore that gives US the
figures above named. Our prospects are
brilliant, il fut :rs work proves as bounti-
full as has been our past experience, for
there is nots doubt as to t. g 0sceo'a being
q true assure vein. Tails mine is located
In Campbell District, about seven miles
from the Bullion District mines.
Respectfully, etc., Phil DErANeHER.

yesterday, that heavy shipments of machi-

warehouse platforms yesterday, marked for
shipment to Salt Lake. They we're from
the Silvcrado and Newark mines.
Tons of copper mat are on the way ia

him, and during the late hours Of Monday
night he breathed his last. The ending of
this accident has taken every one by sur
