A NEW ORGANIZATION.


A large representation Of the working
men of Eureka congregated at the Court
room, corner Of Buel and Clark streets,
last evening. At first there was a wrong
impression abroad. some thought there
was q project on foot by a chosen few to
grind a political grist, but as soon as Orrin
Miller was placed behind the Judges desk
as temporary Chairman, and Smith Harris
was pronounced Secretary, then followed
q few remarks BIZ both OF the officers elect
and a general interest in the meeting began
to show itself. The Chairman then read a
preamble aud resolution which introduced
a Constitution and bylaws OF this import:
That it was deemed advisable for the best
interests Of the laboring classes hereabouts
to organize something Of a protective asso-
citation, similar to that Of trades unions
in the East. There not being enough
of any class Of trades people
to make a successful stand, the advisa-
bility Of all joining hands was thought
proper and so written. After the reading
vi the proposed constitution, any and all
mechanics and laborers were asked to study
the text of the deed, and if it suited their
ideas of justice and right, between man
and man, to walk up and put their names
dow as men willing to back up the words
therein contained. Eighty-one good solid
men said, by signing their names, that
the document suited them. Pretty good
for the first night. There was no bluster,
10 fiurry-everything moved smoothly,
and they adjourned over for a more perma-
nent organization until next Wednesday,
and will meet, probably, at the District
Courtroom. A vote of thanks was given,
with good will, to Justice Cromer for the
use Of his room for the evening.

A Yiryinla Maiicina.Man.

A mutton-chopped individual, just over
from Virginia, distinguished himself last
evening. He had taken rooms on Main
street, and was known as Doctor by his
neighbors. In his immediate locality a
gentleman was laundering along in the
darkness, and ON the uneven sidewalk
tripped and fell. The gentleman was pull
ing at a long-stemmed clay pipe at the time
of the tumble, and in his hurry to get
down forgot to take the pipe out of his
mouth. AS he came in contact with the
sidewalk, the ''dudeen" was driven down
his neck as far as the bowl. When found,
he had thrown the bowl out of his mouth,
but was speeches.. He was Immediately
carried to this " Doctors room, and there
underwent a rapid examination. During
the Doctors" search, the subject man
aged to wheeze up about four inches of the
pipe-stem. The Doctor grabbed it, and at
once commenced a rigmarole as long as an
average Coroner's inquest. declaring that
the man had fallen in a fit from a sudden
attack Of pneumonia, and right in the pres
ence of all was throwing up and coughing
out his windpipe.

The mercury in the carcasses OF every

the regular Board was being telegraphed-

the ticker read Off Mexican, So" then
Sam rang his bell Jimmy blew his horn
and he was assisted by an air compressor,
kindly furnished by the Belcher, that he
might have a full supply Of wind for the
occasion. This racket had a tendency to
drown the buzz Of 5000 voices, in ex-

Lo! the Peor Indian.

An antiquated Shoshonc was staggering
down Spring street yesterday with a load
OF sagebrush timber on his back that in
bulk would rival a load Of hay. His spi-
der legs were bending under him like cot
tonwood limbs; his shriveled countenance
and toothlcss mouth we're not very inviting
to look upon, but We tackled him to find
out that he was here in Eureka when
groves of naples were all about; that they
used to boil the '%iuice" from the naples,
in holes gouged ont of the quarry east of
town, until the s.shug' came; that he had
seen the food as is a flood-all these hills
were under water; that he was 6,97S, 49,
900 moons old. That was enough; he
squirmed about uneasily, as though one Of
the timbers on his back might be rasping
OFF one of the bones, and fearing that he
might get off his balance, break one Of his
legs, run it up into his body and kill the
old fossil, we stepped aside and let him

The Engineering and Mining Journal,

lowing: I'VE have reported sales aggre-
eating about 500 tons at 34c., which is
the closing price. The exports Of lead ia
China for the first seven months Of 1878
were 6, 760 tons, as against $500 tons for
the like period in 1877, and to Japan 800
tons, against 754 tons for the first seven
months Of 1877. Mr.. J.. B. Meader's re-
port shows that the production of lead in
Utah during the first seven months of this
year 7,705, 143 pounds t3,439 tons Of 2.240
pounds) less than during the like period Of
1877. The falling off in July Of this year,
as compared with the same month in 1877,

Yesterday a goodly chunk Of quartz was
placed upon u table-a specimen of what
they find within the walls of the Defiance
mine at Fish Greek. A fraction from the
specimen we have, assayed S400 in silver
and 40 per cent. lead. 1t is rich enough
to make glad the heart of any prospector.
The Defiance, which is only 20 miles from
this place, is owned by j. II. Goetchess &

three locations on the vein bearing this

Strange to say, a compositor rode into
town over the E.. & p. Railroad, the other
night. He was SO drunk that he didn't
know it, however; didn't know much of
anything, in fact, until he woke up about
midnight, and sat up on end in front Of
the SENTINEL Office. There was a Lively
breeze astir, and from the freshly-dumped
alag at the Eureka Con. and Richmond
there went up a glare Of light that could
discount John Mackay's proposition for
lighting up the Champ Elysees. The comp.
was for a moment bewildered he felt the
hot air on one cheek; it circled around
and settled in the opposite ear the fumes
were in his nostrils. With a snort he
bounded upon his trembling limbs glarsd
about (wiidly, Of course); took another
sniff OF the zephyr, and then in a bass voice
remarked: lis it hell l see on either
hand?" Then he glared again, until q
new idea struck him, and he went off to-
ward Main street, jumping like q full
grown kangaroo, and yelling Fire !" at
the top of his voice. He was seized and
doused in a tub of spring water. A his
tory of the country Of his adoption was re-
cited to him to-day, and he has the resigned
appearance of a eonyalescent gentleman.

The directors in London have also the
power to cancel the power Of attorney now
held by Mr.. Probert, but they have no
power to remove him or Richard, or any
other of the employees of the Nevada COM
pany, or to appoint any one with executive
powers over the property and management
in Eureka. On the other hand, the presi-
dent, in concert with the other trustees,
has the power to dismiss Mr.. Richard at a
months notice, and to appoint another
superintendent for n term Of years. The
London board, therefore, at the present
time, occupy virtually no executive posi-
ton in reference to the possession and
management Of the property in America.

We have been shown by Mr.. Laspeyre
several very rich and valuable specimens
Of silver ore, recently taken from the
Revenue mire in Tuscarora. One large
specimen, which consists of sulphide and
ruby silver, covered with pyrites Of iron,
containing cubes of the pyrites when broken
shows rich ruby silver. This peace
will assay at least ten thousand dollars per
ton. Then there is a smaller specimen of
ruby silver which is nearly pure metal and
will probably show at least eighty per cent
of silver. We are informed that the Rev
enue has a ledge about five feet in width,
and their shaft is now down about two
hundred feet and the ore is improving in
quality as they go down. If Tnscarora
possesses many such mines as the Revenue,
her future prosperity as a mining camp is
insured beyond a doubt.
