Remains Found.

A month Z we chronicled in the
columns of the SENTINEL the strange
actions of a man from Eureka. who
boarded the c. p. p. r. passenger train
at Palisade, and after frightening every
body aboard, by reason of his strange
actions, jumped off at a point between
the terminus and Beowawe, disappear
ing in the hills 10 the north of the track
We learned yesterday hat a couple of
cattle dealers, riding through that sec
tion of country, discovered the remains
of a man, badly decayed, who had
evidently died from exposure. He
was lying on his face, his hands
clutched 10 a sagebrush, and his APP
pearance denoted that he had teen in
that position for quite a time. There
were no marks of violence visible, and
there is little doubt that it was the same
individual who jumped ON the train at
the time mentioned. A ticket to Reno,
eight dollars ia coin, and a letter, in
Producing James Kelly TO j. T. Arm
strong, Virginia City, We're the only
articles found on his person. The men
gave the body the best burial that they
could, under the circumstances, and
sent US a letter, relating the facts. Who
knows James Kelly?

Perhaps the coming of the genial
spring-time can not be more generally
remarked in any one direction than in
the dry goods establishments, and a
bright and shining demonstration of
tho changed season can be found at the
New York store. While buds swell,
flowers blossom, and nature casts aside
her dismal winter robes, the female
sex, in imitation, bloom forth in sym
patty and don gorgeous costumes.
To aid this laudable tendency, the pro.
prletors of the above extensive institu-
ton have ransacked the wholesale
warehouses Of the East, and purchased
one OF the choicest and comprehensive
assortment eve imported to Eureka,
a major portion of which has been re-
ceived, and is now displayed at their
store on Main street. Costly fabrics of
the latest styles and patterns, OF every
shade and color, and embracing all the
novelties of the day, suits, elegant IN
make and bewitching in appearance,
the finest of ladies' underwear, hosiery,
gloves, and a thousand other articles
that delight the feminine heart and
adorn their persons, handsome hats, of
the very latest mode, wonderful COM
binations of lace and flowers, all OF
these, and still more that we have not
the space to mention, can be found at
the New York store, and to prove that
the ladies appreciate the enterprise of
the firm, it is only sufficient to notice
the throngs that crowd the place AID
keep the attendants busy. In this con
nection we call attention to their ad
vertisement in another column. Pc
ruse it, and benefit by the information
that it conveys.

District.

The Stock Exchange has the follow
ing: "The Eureka District has been a
regular bonanza to its holders. Ruby
Hill loooms up next to Mount David
son as the center of an ore-producing
ledge. Phenix suddenly puts in an
appearance at figures which a few
months ago would have been consid-
cred high. But even at five there
to he very little stock on the
market. There are many mysterious
reports about a very important devel-
opment in the mine having been made
within the past three months through
the X X shaft, showing conclusively
that the X X ore body runs into Phe-
nix, and that ore enough is already de-
veloped to run furnaces for ar indefi-
mite length of time. 1t is believed that
parties who own largely of Richmond
stock are now controlling Phenix, and
as they mean business we may soon
expect to see the stock lively as we'll as

Exciting RUNAWAY.

About seven o'clock last evening, as
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton were out en-
joying a buggy ride, the horse became
unmanageaule while coming down
South Main street, and ran away at a
furious pace. Mr.. Wilton was unable
TO control him, and was flung from the
vehicle in front of the Turner House.
The horse kept on, running down
Bsteman street, and making a short
turn when crossing the bridge in trent
of Mrs. Beene's residence. At this
point Mrs. Wilton vas thrown out,
and the horse ended the exciting cpl
sode by jumping into the ditch. The
lady was Immediately carried into Mr..
Hayes rooms and a doctor sent for,
when it was found that beyond the
shock of the fall she had sustained no
serious injury, no bones having been
broken. Mr.. Wilton was also fortu-
nate enough to get off with a bruised
face. The ditch. at the place where the
animal fell in, is all of II feet deep, but
strange to say, he was not hurt in the
least, nor the buggy much damaged.
We learn from Mr.. Wilton that the
of the runaway was the breaking
of the hold back straps, which bad
been fastened on the shafts with a few
tacks, and of course broke loose ~
soon as a strain came on it. The bug
gy bad been repaired yesterday at
George outs wagon shop, and every
thing was supposed to be secure and
safe. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilton can cor
graduate themselves on their miracu-

Communicated.
III PROSPECrOR.

We have received the following com
munication from a miner, and give il
place in our columns:
How are we prospectors to get pay
for our work 3? We located claims years
ago in places that seemed to us to be
the most favorable ground to tie to;
we have complied with the mining
laws, aud worked our locations to the
full extent of u means. When we
are bursted or out OF grub. what then ?
1t seems that capital mistrusts our
judgment, because we have not been
a boss or foreman in some Comstock
mine, or a lieutenant OF corporal in a
pet bonanza. We must fall back on
the old like and look for a job to make
another grub stake. Sometimes we get
work, but oftener promises, and when
we go to the mine to receive the full
fillment of the same, we find new ar.
rivals put on in our places. Upon in
vestigation we find that these men be.
long TO a class that never devote a day
nor a dollar to prospecting. If we
do succeed in accommodating money
enough to buy a supply of provisions,
begin work on our mines, and make a
strike, the next morning we are visit
ed by a multitude of bar.room experts
and celebrated miners. who do their
work with jawbone and camp around
the Eureka hotels. If these would-be
middle men can talk us out of an in
terest, we are sure of a favorable re-
port, if not the mine is worthless; no
matter how good a showing it may
make. I think it is about time this
business was changed. and that those
who do the pioneering should receive
the honor, if any honor there may be.
Pay the prospector for his claim, and
not the on-producer. All we ask is a
fair show, and if there is any balance
of power it should be in our favor.
Let the capitalists look in the hills for
good mines and not in the hotels.

The HayerIY MinsfreIs.

We were pleased to note the presence
of another large and fashionable audi
ence at the hall last evening. The
troupe are we'll deserving of the i'm
mense patronage bestowed upon them
and their efforts to merit it, is apparent
IN the careful and finished perform
ances. Unlike many companies who
travel through the land with a great
flourish of trumpets and depend upon
two or three specially performers to
make good their shortcomings of a
lot of sticks, the present organization
does not include a single man who is
not above the average in his particular
line, and we do not hesitate to pro-
nounce two or three of the members
as stars of the first magnitude. Rich
moDd, who reminds us of our old
friend AID Ryman, only that he is vast.
~ superior, Billy Rice, fat and jolly
Billy, a veteran in the profession, and
Welsh and Rice, the song and dance
artists, are a host in themselves, and
would carry any company to which
they belonged on the road to triumph,
but we predict that Geo. Thatcher will
be the strong card when the MINISTRIES
arrive in San Francisco. He has al
ready done what would almost be con
sidered an impossibility, opened a e
vein in the Ethiopian business, does
not depend upon acrohatic training,
or broad burlesque for effect, but tells
his little stories IN a quiet, unaffected
way, and quaint manner, hat simply
convulses the audience. Why they
should laugh seems to be a matter of
surprise 70 him, and when it Toes GEN.
citrate his brain that there is anything
amusing in his remarks, or odd in his
speech, he receives the idea with a sly
twinkle of the eve, and an inward
chuckle, that sends the people off into
a roar again and again. He is as droll
and inimitable in his way as the most
famous comedian that we can call to
mind, and we have an idea that he will
yet bloom forth in white on theatrical
boards. II is not necessary to mention
last nights performance in detail. 1t
was equally and evenly good from first
to last. While finding so much to
commend, there is n suggestion that
we would like to make, and it is the
only amendment necessary to the en-
t~ertainment. The harp solist, while a
master of his instrument, is rather off
in his costume. We are of the opinion
that it would be better To relegate
those blue tights to the bottom of his
trunk, or present them to a circus
rider. There will be another change of
programme this evening, and every
thing will be as bright aud sparkling
as usual. An unusually large number
of seats are already reserved, and the
public will consult their own convent
ence and avoid the rush by applying
early at the box office.

A correspondent of the San Francis
co Stock Report, telegraphing from
Eureka, under date of April Sth, an
an important strike in the
Phenix mine, which, he says, he has
just accidentally learned. He is a
bright one whoever he may be. We
printed all the facts in the case over a
week ago, and the matter has been
town talk since. yet it took this enter
prising individual all that time to find
it out. If he was as slow in getting to
dinner, as he was in picking up that
little piece of information, he would
stsrve to death on the way. If he will
reveal his identity we will furnish him
free of charge a copy of the SENTINEL
containing all the latest and most re-
liable mining news to be gathered in
this district.

A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many physi-
clans, or how much medicine you have tried,
it is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given
complete satisfaction in severe cases of lung
diseases. 1t is true that there are yet thou
sands of persons who are predisposed to
throat and lung affections, consumption,
hemorrhages, asthma, severe colds settled on
the breast, pneumonia, whooping cough, etc.,
who have no personal knowledge OF Boschee's
German Syrup. TO such, we would say that
50,e00 dozen were sold last year without one
complaint. Consumptives, try just one bot
tie. Regular size, rs cents. Sold by all
druggists in America.

LONDON Court Journal. A frie

LONDON Court Journal: A friend
who hunts with the Pytchly told me
that be had never seer a lady ride
until he saw the Empress of Austria
out with the hounds. He describes
her seat ON horseback as being the
finest he ever saw, and she rides as
straight as an FRO Nothing stops
her-she takes fences, gates and brooks,
just as they come; and though there
are many plucky lady riders on the
shires, no once could touch the Empress.
She made herself very popular, too,
and will be much missed, now that
she has left our shores. Assuredly, no
finer or more utterly fearless horse
woman ever skinned across the level

rails with greater GOODNESS and skill.

Whilst Plumhof plays a tune.

noticeable than the changed aspect OF
the saloon. Hank Knight has placed
our old friend Bony Ayres in charge,

MI. ]. T. Mathewson is one of those
provident and fortunate inviduals who,
a number of years ago, invested in al
endowment policy issued by a New

ing ten long years he has faithfully,
and with unvarying regularity, paid
the premiums as they fell due, and
the officers of the institution never
failed to mail to him a notice when the

last payment a few months ago, and
was looking forward to the pleasant
fact that his forethought would be re-
warded with the addition of the sum
