A grave responsibility Is resting upon
ths County Commissioners. They meet at
10 o'clock this morning to sward the con-
tract for the erection Of . new Court
bouss. The sExrrsEL believes they acted
wisely in taking time 10 consider . ques-
don Of % much importance Upon their
xssisn to-day. and subsequently, in the
same connection, rests the veal or woe Of
our county finances for years to come.
Every taxpayer, and all who may become
taxpayers. have an interest in this Court
house project. They are interested TO the
End that it may be built honestly and
economically. The people OF Eureka
county, We take il, are willing to pay .
fair price for good work They do not
desire, nor do they expect, anybody to
construct their Courthouse at q loss
Neither do they want the county plunged
hopeIesslv in debt. We do not know
which Of the numerous bids Mat have
been submitted should take the contract
That is not for us to say, if We had a we'll
considered opinion in the premises, which
VI have mot. We cannot refrain, however,
from reminding the Board that they should
proceed cautiously IN this whole matter.
Mechanics differ IS TO the cost Of b build
ing Some say it can be constructed for
les than Sc. 600, while others assert that
81, 900 b not . dollar too much. Between
these widely differing estimates on the one
hand ard the best interests Of the county
on the other. the Commissioners have to
decide. That their decision will be just
to the contractors, to the people and to
themselves, We sincerely believe.

It will be remembered that . "Post" in

from San Francisco to the SENTINEL g few
days ago. Deane said in that interview
that three new bonanzas we're known to
exist in the comstock within a radius Of
ten mines. One of these he further said
was located at the north end in Sierra Ne
vada, and its existence wss already known
to pretty much everybody Bat he left
the public in the dark as to the where
abouts Of the other two. This has set the
mining papers to guessing. The Gold
Hill News which assumes to be familiar
with the entire situation on the Comstock,
asserts thai one is on the POO level of the
Hale 4 Norcross, and the other on the
1000 level OF the Yellow Jacket. On the
other hand, the Enterprise" contends
that all three OF the new bonanzas
lie north Of Choliar-Potosi. commencing
with Hale & Norcross, Savage, Best 4

All the Gold.

A cubic inch of gold is worth $2l0-
a cubic foot, $362,SSO; a cubic yard,
$9,79L162, This is valuing it at $lS 60
an ounce. At the commencement Of the
Christian era there was then in the
world $427, 100000 in gold. This had
diminished to $570OO,0O0 at the time
America was discovered. Then it began
to increase. Now the amount of gold
in use is estimated to be $6,000,000,-
COO. Yet all this welded into one mass
would be contained in o cube of twenty
six feet. This, in the case of man
perishing from disease, would not Of
itself avail him so serviceably as some
little shrub growing by the wayside
which was especially calculated as 0
