GOOD MEN FOR OFFICE.


A New Departure
EUREKA, August 81, 1878.
EDITOR SENTINEL: 1t has become a Gus
tom with all parties Of late years to have
individuals offer themselves as candidates
for the different offices. This is a right
each individual has, but a question arises
as to whether q Convention should con-
slider that it was a duty to select from the
list Of those who nave declared themselves
candidates, or go outside Of said list and
select suitable and good men from the
people regardless Of those who are anxious.
1t is commendable for persons to possess a
certain amount of self-esteem, for it is the
foundation Of self-respect, an ingredient
indispensable to make a good citizen, but
it Is possible for some to have too much,
and then they are sure to overestimate
their qualifications, and hence men fire.
quently think they are suitable for certain
positions, when their neighbors, who can
judge impartially, often think very differ
entity. Would it not be well to have per-
IONS who nominate themselves to stand
precisely as others do who, from modesty
or difiidence, wait for others to make the
selections? Under the present system
those who declare their candidacy, each
for himself, begins to feel around for his
friends for delegates, which is often the
cause of much wrangling in the primaries,
and not unfrequently much trouble in
Conventions.
1t is often the case that great issues, ma
tional questions, turn on a hardly fought
contest between rival candidates for Con-
stable, rather than on Representative and
Senator for the United States. From a
knowledge of the truth Of this fact, would
it not be best for all conventions to ignore
any obligation to any s~elf-nominated can
didates, and go outside and select for coun-
ty officers from those worthy and we'll
qualified? Ii is not meant to positively
reject all who are published candidates,
but most certainly there should not be SO
much stress laid ON the list of aspirants,
to the exclusion Of others. Let both of
the great parties for once nominate good
men, suitable men. from Governor to Con-
stable, and then the people will be sure to
have for their servants good men, that
they may feel proud of.
If we are to have good, true men for Off
GERS, it is necessary to have a little more
independence in our political machinery.
We especially need good Representatives
and Senator, or our Legislature VIII be-
long to the same scale Of Ahe past, in Ne
vada and California.
We need good men, well qualified, for
Judges, Sheriff, Treasurer, Commissioners.
District Attorney, Clerk, Recorder, Asses
sor, Justice of the Peace, Constable, and
for every other Office in the gift Of the peo-
pie.
Let us, for once, work to accomplish so
desirable an object, by selecting the right
man for>the right place, whether he says
he wants to be a can lidate or no.
This may be a new departure, but it is
one in the right d~irection-one that would
ultimately lead to good results.
CITIZEN.

RAMBLER.


"Pink-Eyed'' Patterson I'm Eureka.
"Pink-eyed Pat" as he is known in
Colorado, put in an appearance at one of
the corrals Of Eureka last Friday. He in
forms a SENTINEL reporter that he win
tered his stock, the last cold snap, ON the
white sage hills about Douglas Springs,
near the "hob-nobbing stake Of Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming. As he saddled
up last May to ''go West" he came across
the once famous diamond fields. He saw
a few relics Of the excitement, whereby
San Francisco thieves made their thou
sands but a few years ago; the old wire
selves were lying all over the plain the
ants had rebuilt some Of their hills, which
had been RACED by the avaricious diamond
hunters, and an occasional fragment of a
bake-ovcn could be seen half buried in the
drifting sand. Pink-eye dont't hurt him
self at any particular kind of business he
is considered a fair prospector to search
for any, or all, Of the precious metals he
Is an excellent angler, a successful hunter,
and a good trapper. When he bankers for
a change, he saddles up and moves from a
trapping ground to the hills which, through
Indian tradition or general indications,
offer inducements to the prospector, and
there he rambles until he is fish hungry
and then for another move.
From the diamond-tields Pink-eye took
q southwesterly direction. crossing the
treacherous Green river successfully, and
followed the Uintah range to its intersec-
ton with the Wasatch. He claims to nave
crossed two distinct belts of grey-copper,
and one was very rich in silver, as he moved
along the Uintah range, but on account
OF that range being the hunting ground
Of the Indians from the Uintah Agency, it
is deemed impracticable as q prospect at
the present time. He continued his route
through to the mining districts about Salt
Lake city southwest to the Ophir, and
then across the desert. The camps through
Utah are all represented by men who are
workers and many OF them ave good
claims, but the districts are comparatively
dead from the lack Of capital. This is
Patterson 5 first trip within the boundaries
OF Nevada, but he is favorably impressed
says that from the moment he struck the
prospect at the Deep Creek mines, he has
seen mere genuine leads, more staunch
lodges Of mineral standing up plainly to
view h he ever saw before in travelling
the same distance says that since he left
the Bonnemort Brothers ranch, on the
western edge of the desert, he has not
a range of hills that did not show
up favorable for the prospector thinks he
has seen better hunting and fishing in
Eastern Utah, but has not thoroughly sat
isfied himself on that point. Pink-eye
will outfit for work hercabouts for a sea-
son, and If not satisfied in this immediate
vicinity will hunt for a bonanza between
this place and Deep creek. Pink-eye says
he will report progress to the SENTINEL if
he has any luck. Anyway we would like
to hear fro n him, and most ass uredly hope
he may strike it big

WHITE PINE ITEMS.
The Transpirinss of "a Week.

The Transpirinss of u Week.
We eollate from the Ne,cs Of yesterday
the following items of interest:
Several parties from the vicinity of
Murry creek were in town this week, with
the object, we understand, of coming to
some amicable agreement regarding water
rights to the stream. 1t seems that the
new company organized in Boston to work
the copper mines Of Robinson District
wish to purchase water rights for their fur
naces, and when this became known con-
tiicting claimants rose up as numerous as
Rhodric Dhu's famous mountain clan. We
hear, however, that a compromise has been
effected on this basis The mpan pay
the mount agreed for the water into the
hands of a neutral party, the case between
the different claimants will be submitted
to the Court, and the successful claimant
or claimants will receive the price stipu-
lated.
The Bay State Silver Mining Company,
Of Boston, Mass, has filed its certificate
of incorporation in the Clerks Office.
Trustees, Edward F. Hager, d. A. johnson
and Alanson Long. The object Of the
company is to work mines in Newark Min
ing District, in this county, and mill n
smelt ores extracted therefrom. Capital
stock, $500,00C, divided into 50,UO0 shares,
Of the par value of $40 each.
The County Commissioners have ordered
District Attorney Davis to move for q new
trial Of the case of Mau Il Co. against the
County Commissioners, and in case the
motion is denied to appeal the case to the
Supreme Court.
John Flynn. an old Treasure Hill miner,
but who has been staying at the Base Range
for the past year, returned to his old
stamping ground last week. Johnny came
over to look after his mining interests in
this section.
Large amounts of freight are now being
forwarded over this route to Ward. All
the indications point to a lively fall and
winter in our sister camp, and we are graf
fled to see such evidences Of her approach
ing prosperity.
Our young friend, James H. Lowell, who
has run the telegraph office at this place
| for a year or more, tool his departure last
Tuesday.

We have been shown a letter from VIM.
T. Bell, dated Warm Springs, where he is

stage between Ward and Cherry Creek.
From the letter'we learn that this time the
trials will be separate, George Wilson's
case coming up the first Monday in Oc-
tober, Bells and Donnelly's following in
the order named. Bell seems to think it
was wholly owing to manufactured evil
dence they we're not acquitted on the first

Eastern Nevada?
There is a strong suspicion hat Tom
Lawton, the sacramento murderer, is
drifting about on the Humboldt. The
Tnles-Reriew relates the following Zone
day during the latter part Of last week.
Mr.. j. A. Blossom, of Battle Mountain,
while out hunting stock, came across a
man in the willows on the bank Of the
river, a short distance from town. The
person being a stranger, his somewhat PEE
culiar actions, and the fact Of his being
met in such all isolated place, caused Mr..
Blossom to observe him rather intently,
upon which the man asked him somewhat
sharply, what lie wanted. MIR. Blossom
told him that he wanted nothing, and rode
away. Upon returning to Battle Noun
tain, happening to read in the Times
Reriep the description Of
o LAwToY
the murderer Of Tuliis, the Sacramento
ranchman, it instantly occurred to Mr.. b.
that the man whom lie met in the willows
corresponded in every particular with the
published description Of the above named
fugitive. Relating the circumstance TO
Dave st. John, that gentleman Immediately
started upon the track Of the mysterious
person whom he traced to the camp of Ba-
rondo, q Spaniard and stockman on the
Battle Mountain road. about sixteen miles
from this place. He ascertained that
the stranger came there afoot,
had stated that be wanted to purchase
a horse, that he had procured an animal,
saddle and bride, for which lie

rondo gave him a note to Serapa, the milk
man in Independence Valley, a few miles
below town, whom he thought would prob
ably give him employment. The stranger
arrived at the milk ranch Saturday even
ing, but made no application for work. He
stopped that night at WoInmuck's camp, q
few hundred yards from Serapa's house.
Notwithstanding his statement to Barondo
that he had no money, he exhibited to the
boys at Wommuck's three $50 pieces. He
stated that lie was an emlgrant

He left Wommuck's Sunday morning, stat

ments when he struck out, it is not known
in what direction, and

Mr.. st. John was securing the country
yesterday in the vicinity Of Taylor canyon,
and will start out again to-day, %accompan-
led, probably, by Deputy Sheriff Weaver.
We were in pos session Of the above related
facts day before yesterday, but at the re-
quest of Officer Weaver suppressed their
publication until this morning. All who
have seen the man agree that he CORE
spends with the published description of
Lawton. If not the Sacramento muir

inal of some kind, and probably a fugitive
from justice. His arrest should be effected
if within the bounds of possibility. He

No. 4, and closed about II o'clock last
night with No. 6. 1t has been a year that
these furnaces have been bubbling away,
and it was hardly a genuine closeup with
them then. But it had got to be impera-
tive; a general overhauling had to take
place, and we are satisfied the work Of re-
pairing will be pushed very rapidly that
they may start up at the earliest possible
moment. 1t is a rich outlook at the mine,
and in a very short time the furnaces
will be ready to do justice to the metal
therein contained.
