The r,r,,nra Tournament.

New York sporting circles have been
agitated for some days over the billiard
tournament between George Slosson and
Jacob Schaefer, the concluding game Of
which was played on Friday night. Shaefer
will be remembered as the young man who
played against Tony Kraker, a California
champion, at the Opera House, in Februa-
ry, 1875. The tournament resulted in a
victory for shaefcr, who is now declared the
champion of the United States. George
Slosson was his competitor, and in his
sixth inning made a run of AGA, placing
his score at $50 against 10 for Shaefer.
The latter. in his sixth INNING, made a
run Of 2S3. Slosson made but ~ in his
seventh inning, aud Shaefer ended the
game with an unfinished run OF 29S. Tho
score was 600 to ST.. The winners aver
age was IS 81, the largest one on record.
The losers average was 81 At, the second
greatest average. Slosson takes the sec
ond prize, and Sexton and DAILY the third
and fourth respectively.

Death Of :. Rcd' Frank Wheeler.
We copy the following sad intelligence Of
our old friend from the Carson "Appeal'
Of the 18th: A dispatch was received last
evening at half-past seven o'clock from
Mr.. Samuel L. Jones at San Francisco, an
nouncing the death Of "Red" Frank
Wheeler. This news has not come mex
pected, Mr.. Wheeler having been in bad
health for o long time. Deceased was the
senior member Of the hardware firm OF
Wheeler, Hall & Co., Virginia City, and
was well knewn throughout the State,
where lac lived for years. Everybody who
knew poor RED will regret his death,
and be afflicted thereby as by a sense Of
deep personal bereavement. There never
lived a more genial gentleman; and in
more respects than one he was a very re-
markable man. Here was native ability
in a most unusual degree; powers OF pen-
e~tration and observance but rarely ac-
corded to any man; aeuteness and correct
judgment Of a very high order; and all the
qualities and characteristics Of q trust
worthy and discriminating man Of the
world. We have heard from him fire.
quently in his hopeless sickness. He has
always been cheerful and courageous, and
sustained by o true and well grounded
philosophy. A day or two since, when one
Of his friends left his bedside to come to
Carson, .'Good bye" said he, .'give the
boys my love, and tell them that l am
passing quietly and painlessly away"
Red was about 81 years OF age; and when
the last breath left his body it resigned to
death as kindly and large-hearted a man
as ever saw the sage brush. May the grass
grow green above him. So say we all

A Problem that Upset the Equa-
nimity Of Certain County Officials.
Several of our county officials were up
set yesterday in a vain attempt to solve the
following arithmctical problem. Pub. Ad.
Smith. Lambert Molinelli, Judge Harmon,
and others tried their hands, but without
success, go far as We learned. Any reader
Of the SENTINEL solving the problem will
please send the answer to this Office, ac-
companied by their name. 1t is copied
from IN Eastern paper, and is as follows /:
At the State Teachers Institute. which
was held at Nashua, Prof. Quimby, Of Dart
mouth College, lectured upon arithmetic,
and in the course Of his remarks lie gave
out the following example for the teachers
to work out

How much does the town owe the agent. If
anything. or how much does the agent owe
the town? What is the pront or loss of the

Prof. Quimby said that this was the act
nal state Of the accounts Of q liquor agent
Of n New England town, and that a lawsuit
had grown out Of q dispute upon the ques-
ton as to which side was indebted to the
other, and also as to the amount Of indebt-
edness. A whole day was given to the
teachers Of Nashua to cipher out the true
answer. At the end Of that time only two
or three out Of rs teachers present gave
the answer. Although the question seems
a very simple one, quite a number of our
college bred citizens, including several
very astute lawyers, have been unable to
get the right answer, after ciphering on it
for sev erai days.

EDrroR SENTINEL: Every admirer Of q
republican form Of government must have
read your article which appeared in the
SENTINEL Of the 5th, rather compliment
ing the Republic Of France, by showing
the great contrast between the two great
Powers SO recently Of war. and engaged in
q deadly strife for the mastery. We mean
France and Germany. The one, knowing
its weakness, was in q Government con-
trolled by an Emperor, at once established
a Republic. with Theirs for President;
while the other, in it's exultant, boastful
glory. enlarged its imperial boundary, and
has ever since continued to rivet the chains
Of despotism the more tightly. During
all this time our Government, its states
men and its writer's, nave not acted the
part OF friends and n~eighbors to France
with encouragement, by holding up the
hands Of her patriots during her long and
harIly-contestcd struggle to sustain a free
Republic. seemingly forgetting the warm
sympathy and timely help rendered us in
our deathlike struggle for liberty and
self-government by General Lafayette and
HIS uupic iAttlc Dduu VI OtovSss 1uo ex-
pressions Of our papers all the time have
been those Of doubt, hardly showing a ray
Of hope for their success, which has had o
tendency to weaken the supporters Of q
Republic, and strengthen the hands of
those who still hope for a return to the
Empire. Again we say. the SENTINEL is
entitled to the thanks Of all lovers Of lib
eral government by the people, and es-
pecially should our French citizens appre-
ciate these encouraging words, although
made at a time when the French Republic
seems firmly established. The contrast SO
wildly drawn between these two great
powers should be a cause OF much serious
thought, and not only be food for our Ger
man citizens, hut for American statesmen,
and thus aid in steering clear Of the many
sunken rocks by which we are liable to be
stranded in the future. Then let us not
only coura our French brethren, but
bend all our energies to a more perfect
union Of our people and States, knowing
no East, no West, no North, no South, but
recognizing the great fact that we are all
citizens Of the United States Of North
America. ANXIOUS.

The last number of the New York Min
ing Journal says: The sales Of the week
include $50 tons Of Selby. at 4hc., sold
nearly q week 6 o and which arrived to-
day. and 100 tons of Newark. for delivery
at the end Of February, at Axe. for COM
mon, and 4zsc. for refined lead. Despite
the low prices Of last year, our production
of lead increased over 800 tons. Although
some districts may show a decrease this
year, yet we are threatened with q very
tidal-wave OF lead from Lesdville, Color
ado. 1t is also probable that the Frisco
District in Utah, which produced about
1000 tons last year, will have its smelling
capacity and other facilities SO increased
this year ~ to give it a capacity OF from
20, 900 to 80, ZOO tons Of lead per aunum
Mr.. Jay Cooke and associates have pur-
chased an interest in the Bonanza mine in
this district. The experts employed to ex-
anime the mine report $50, 900 tons Of ore
in sight, which will yield about As per
cent. lead and SO ounces Of silver per ton.
1t il said that furnaces, with an aggregate
capacity Of 100 tons of bullion per day,
will be erected. Already has the capital
been subscribed for building $50 miles OF
railroad to the mine, and ten per cent.
paid down in cash. Under the inspiration
Of Mr.. Jay Cookies usual enterprise, we
may look for a large increase in the pro-
duction of this district.
1t is evident, therefore, that the artificial
position held by lead in this country can
only last a few months, when our excessive
production will again put us under the in
fiuence of the competition Of the world,
the markets of which we shall have to
enter to dispose Of a large portion of our
products.

This mining district, says the "Silver
State" which was discovered last fall, is
situated about 81 miles north of Winnie
mucca, on the east or Paradise side of the
range of mountains which divides Quinn
river and Paradise valleys. The Eclipse
mine, the first located in the district, runs,
as far as developed. northeast and south
west, and is about 20 feet wide. The side
Of thu mountains, below the groupings, is
covered wi h fioat rock which assays from
$50 to $3.50 per ton in gold and silver.
The Eclipse has been bonded by w. H..
Howard, who has four men employed on
the mine sinking a shaft. There seems to
be no question as to the richness and ex-
tent Of the ore, and it is confidently ex-
pected that a prosperous mining camp will
spring up in the district next spring. The
proximity Of the district to the railroad,
and the advantages which it has in fuel and
water, makes the locality II of the most
inviting mining districts in the country.

The Scientific american, in an article on
diphtheria, has the following paragraph:
"As every physician knows, it is no IN
common thing for adults to have diphtheria
SO mildly thnt it is mistaken for an ordi-
nary sore throat resulting from cold, yet
such o person can easily infect . child, and
the child becomes . center Of malignant
infection. In view Of the fatal prevalence
Of diphtheria, therefore, the kissing OF .
child upon the mouth by q person with .
sore throat is hazardous, If not criminal;
and scarcely less SO is the practice Of allow
ing children to kiss their ailing ~playmates.
1t would be wise to exercise great caution
in this matter, il not to discontinue tho
practice Of kissing upon the mouth alto
gether." Many medical journals wisely
protest against in~discriminate kissing, es-
pecially of babies-a custom which ID very
common, but which wise mothers will en-
deayor to check.

The Patented SAFETY Hook.

The first Of the recently invented and
patented safety hooks, for elevators, min
ing cages and CRATES, was finished a few
days since, says the San Francisco Alta of
the 7th, at the m~achincshop of NJ. j.
Hendy, corner OF Mission and Fremont
streets-the object Of the invention being
to make the h~oisting Of mining cages, etc.,
less dangerous, and, in fact, to totally
prevent the many accidents occurring
from the over-winding of the wire rcpe and
running the elevator into the sheaves.
The first test was made on Tuesday last,
when fully five tons weight was attached
to the hook. 1t was found to work to a
charm. Mr.. II. G. Harrison, the inventor,
will ship the first to Eureka, Nevada,
to-day, where it will be placed in a promi-
mont mine there.
