calls his life his own in this State, and
the Democrats had things taeir own

He Gured Them.

A gentleman residing on Buel street
has been troubled for some time past
by the mysterious disappearance of his
milk can, some tactical thief making
away with it and its contents with an
noying regularity. He stood it with
patience, and came to the front with a
new can every morning. He could
afford it, as he is in the tinware bust
ness; but on Saturday he not only
supplied the new can but also put in il
a liberal amount of croton oil. The
can went the way of all the rest, and a
singular coincidence in connection with
the last theft was the fact that one of
his neighbors was taken seriously ill,
and his family. although previously in
the best of health, were similarly af
fected. The dose must have had a
~loosening effect on somebody's pilfer-
ing propensities. for the can has not
been disturbed since that day, and the
hardware merchant has not made any
further drafts on his stock of tinware.

Captain Rocks Inventions.

A letter from Captain A. ID. Rock,
informs US that he is in San Francisco
introducing his late invention, an ar
ticle lately mentioned in the SENTINEL,
and he tates that he is meeting with
fair success. A critical examination of
the merits of his nut lock ought to con-
vince any one of its value. and we be-
lieve that the device will come into
general use. Every n has eXpcr-
fenced the annoyance of a loose nut on
a buggy, pillow, locomotive " other
machinery, and the accidents attribu-
table to this source are enormous. The
Captains invention prevents these ac-
cidents from happening, and provides
a secure fastening at a merely nominal
cost. Another invention OF his, the
iron ties that he laid on a portion of
the C. p. X. r. lear Oakland, are dem
onstrating all that he claimed for them.
The track and ties are as sound as the
day they were laid, and show no sign
of wear. The cheap substitution of
iron for wood, to take the place of the
ties 10Y used, would be an immense
saving to all railroads, and We have no
doubt but that the system will come
into general use. We hope the Captain
will soon receive a practical benefit
from his labors in the way of a gener-
Gus money return.

There has been considerable discus
sion INDUCED in by some Of the share
holders of the Richmond Company in
regard to the advisability of increasing
the regular dividends. Both sides Of
the question are advanced as follows In
the last number of the London Mining
Journal.
/ observe a letter in last weeks
Journal from one who signs himself
"a Needy Shareholder" suggesting
that the Directors should pay a larger
dividend than Is. 81. per share. /
hope the Directors will do nothing of
the kind. Now is the time to lay the
foundation Of a substantial reserve
fund to provide against any future
contingencies, and l trust the Direc-
tors will not swerVe from the policy
enunciated by the Chairman at the last
meeting, as it is beyond all question
the only sound and wise policy, hav-
ing regard to the future interests of the
company. Let q reserve fund of ESQ.,.
0CC be created and actually in
vested, besides providing for the cut
standing de~bentures,a and if the "Needy
Shareholder " does not get an increase
at present he will surely see his shares
stand at an increased value, and, there
fore, to him and to others l recon-.
mend a little FoRETHoUGHT.
In reply t o the "Needy Sharehold.
err" / desire to state that at the last
meeting of the Richmond Consolidated
Mining Company, held on December
20, a large shareholder, well acquaint.
ed with the capabilities of the mine,
proposed that the next quarterly divi-
deud shonld be nothing less than lis.
Cd. per share, instead of Is. Cd. per
share, "because the late discoveries
fully enabled the Directors to do So"
if not higher dividends, judged of by
weekly returns Of $50, 900, now in
creased to $100, 900. Indeed, all the
shareholders should firmly advocate
l5s. per share for the next quarterly
dividend. 1t is all nonsense with such
eturns to pay only Is. cd. per share
(2S per cent per annum), and when all
the law expenses have been paid,
which the Directors declare in the
prospectus as we'll as at the last De.
cember meeting. Besides, sharehold-
ers were kept for just ten months
without dividends to pay the late law
proceedings previous to the last quar-
terly dividend. INVESTOR.

Cut Her Throat.

The insane woman, Mrs. King, while
confined in the ante-room of the Jail,
obtained entrance TO the occupied
by the Sheriff's son, and taking his
razor, madea an attempt to cut her throat,
inficting a cash in her windpipe, and
opening a wound some three inches
long. When Under Sheriff Nelson
locked up the prisoners Saturday even
ing, he noticed the blood, but she made
an excuse that her nose was bleeding.
Sunday morning the suicidal attempt
was discovered by the officers, and she
was removed to the hospital, where she
now lays. 1t is possible that her
wounds may result fatally. When
asked as to her motive, she said that
she was very nervous, and having seen
young Sias use the razor, she deter.
mined to get it and kill herself. She
got into the room by prying open the
door with a piece of iron, and found
the instrument, using itas stated above.

HAMBURG.

The following is the official letter of
Superintendent Powell, forwarded to
the company's Office in San Francisco,
on the 10th inst. twill be seer that the
mine is looking we'll throughout the
various drifts and levels:
EUREKA, Feb. ~, 1873.
ID. A. JENNINGS. Secretary: During
the past week the drift from the Pacific
winze, 5 .foot level, was extended r.
feet, making a total length of So feet;
the vein matter in the face is eve feet
in width, of favorable character; ore
mixed with clay and iron.
We are extending the East o cut,
250 foot level, to cut the vein of ore that
shows ear the top of the wiDze from
the 200-foot level of South shaft; have
done some work on the vein at that
point during the week, which shows a
decided improvement.
On the $50 foot level we have put in
air pipes from Friday DRIFT to the bot
tom of the winze, and to the top of the
upraise, which gives an ample supply
OF fine air to both places.
The ore vein in South drift, from the
bottom of the winze, has widened out;
the ore is of first-clsss quality.
North drift from the winze shows no
material change.
The vein in the upraise above the
$50 foot level is somewhat smaller.
We have let a contract to sink the
main shaft $50 feet deeper; contractors
are at work, and making good head
way; the shaft is now Is feet below the
$50 foot level; the flow of water is very
light.
We have mined some so IONS of first
class ore in the old Hamburg works;
South shaft shows some improvement
on the 2O0-foot level. J.. C. POWELL,
Superintendent.

A rough and tumble fight occurred
on Buel street last evening, the parties
thereto being Jimmy Tickle and a
man named Cassidy. A crowd of at
least 200 men gathered around the
combatants, surging to and fro in
wild excitement, and giving vent to
their feelings in noisy demonstrations.
The brutal encounter was kept up for
the space of ten minutes. when officer
Middaugh put in an appearance and
separated the men, a proceeding that
seemed TO be very dlstastful to the
throng. Both men were arrested on a
charge of disturbing the peace, and
will probably explain matters in the

Richmond

AS noted in Saturdays SENTINEL,
funace No. 6, at the Richmond works,
started up yesterday. 1t will not be
u on ore at present, we believe,
but will smelt the dross from the re-
finery calcining pans. During the
operations carried on in the latter, they
are skinned three times a day of the
scum that oxydizes on the surface, and
in a short time a large quantity of the
dross ~accumulates. These impurities
contain a large amount of lead, and
carry some precions metals. They are
run through the smelling furnace very
cheaply, and are then ready to be re-
fined again. A large quantity of the
article is on hand, and will be worked
az stated above. Whether the smelt-
ing will continue after it is used up, we
are not informed. There is no particu-
lar limit to the furnaces run at the
works, as they are so constructed that
they can be repaired while in opera
ton, and they do not have to be shut
down but once a year, at the time of
the annual cleanup, They have TO-
been running nearly six months, and
no cessation is probable at present.

The sudden death OF DR.. Schulze, of
Ruby Hill, mention of whose serious

when he was attacked with congestion
of the brain. and died Sunday morn
ing. The Doctor had been studying
very hard for the past year, and had
recently graduated. This over-taxing
the mental faculties, combined with
the cares of his business, seems to have

1t has become our sad task to chroni-
Gle the death of Mamie Cassidy, the
only child of one of the proprietors of
this paper; a duty doubly painful in
the oresentinstance, as the beloved one,
whose untimely decease we mourn,
had endeared herself to the employees
and attaches of this Office by her daily
presence among US, and we had learned
to listen to her childish prattle. to de.
rive pleasure from her innocent glee,
and relax from our work and cares by
a participation in her merry moods.
Dancing through the musty building
like a veritable ray of sunshine, fitting
here and there at pleasure, her sweet
influences have softened all hearts and
made her the pet of all who came in
contact with her. For a week past all
this has changed footballs were
hushed, conversation was subdued to
whispers, and a universal gloom and
sadness has p~ervaded the rooms that
were formerly so cheerful. Lying on
a bed of pain in the adjoining dwelling,
the feeble moan of the suffering dar-
ling could be heard, Frustrated with
an acute disease that finally silenced
her sweet voice forever. II sympathy,
pity or love could have spared her
one pang, or softened m pain, it
would rave been freely lavished;
but the little blossom was doomed
to wither and die, despite the tender
care, the appeals, the prayers, the
hopes that hung trembling on the faint
breath Of this loved child.
The shadow of the Angel of Death
fell across the threshold, and the cap
tive spirit, held in its mortal tenement
of clay, broke its prison bonds and
drifted out into the unknown world.
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade
she was gathered 10 Him, who said of
old: suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
Words are but a mockery, and an at
tempt to soften the blow, or relieve
the anguish of the stricken parents,
would be but a feeble consolation.
Robbed of their only darling, the little
angel upon whom their affections cen
tered, their cup Of sorrow is filled to
overlooking. and their affliction Is a
bitter one indeed. Their anguish can
not be relieved by cold sentences, and
we forbear. All that we can offer
is the quick and full sympathy
of those around whose hearts
this little child had woven an irresisti-
bic bond OF love, and who in her loss
appreciate the unutterable woe that
has descended upon the nee happy
household. The Lord chasteneth with
a heavy hand; but Time, the great
healer, will soften the blow and soothe
the sorrow of those who mourn the
departure of the lovely flower from her
earthly home to the Spirit Land.
