ly to the floor, and put himself on the
defensive. Three times the Infatuated
beast sprang at him, but did not sue
coed p inflicting any injury upon him.
The lions became excited, and Mr..
Conklin became aware that his posi-
ton was an extremely dangerous one.
Quite a number of the circus attaches
gathered around the cage and offered
assistance, but Mr.. ConklIn told them
to keep back and he would manage
the affair alone. The leopard lay for
a moment crouched upon the floor, his
eyes flashing fercely and uttering a
low, threatening growl. Gathering all
his strength he sprang at Mr.. COnklin,
who struck him a side blow on the
head with the handle Of a heavy whip.
The blow proved more powerful than
was intended and killed the beast in
stantly. The body was dragged out Of
the cage, and, after paying his respects
to the lions, to show them that he was
master of the field, the lion-tamer left
the cage. The leopard was four years
old, and was sent to Mr.. Cole from
Brazil about three years ago. He was
a beautiful specimen of his species
and was valued at $500.

Names OF the Principal streets In
Eureka.


Names OF the Principal streets In
Eureka.
There are q good many people in Eureka
who do not know the names Of the streets
Of the town. We confess to having been
puzzled at times in this regard. For the
information of all a SENTINEL reporter yes
terday consulted the town map in the Asses
sor's Office, and jotted down the names Of
all the streets thereon. Commencing on the
east the streets running north and south,
or parallel with Main, are christened as
follows: Paul, Spring, Bucl, Main, Mon
roe, Adams, Edwards, O'Neil avenue. Bell
street, Sheridan avenue and West street.
The cross streets, or those running east
and west, bear the annexed names Com
mencing at Goodwin Canyon, in front of
the residence Of Mr.. George Larnourenx
and travelling north, tho streets occur in
the following order: Bullion, Treasure,
Mccoy, Galena, Mineral, Silver, Gold,
Bateman aud Poverty Gulch, Clark
street, Robbins, Parker, Farren and
Furnace, the latter terminating at or
near the Eureka Consolidated works. 1t
will he observed that the metals peculiar
to this section, as well as many Of the
pioneer settlers, have been honored in the
naming Of our streets. Major Mccoy, w.
II. Clark, Judge Adams, Dave Buel, Ike
Bateman, Alec O'Neil. Charley Parker,
Surveyor Edwards, Tom Sheridan. Joe
Farren, Sam Bell, A. Monroe and Colonel
Robbins. all old-timers in these parts, have
been remembered and their names pcrpet-
mated. A century hence, the friends Of
these old pioneers may point with pride to
what they did in founding what will then
be the leading mining city on the face of
the globe.

Good EVIL,

Calamities sometimes result in good,
not only to individuals, but to communi-
ties. One OF the beneficial results of the
great fire is. that it has accomplished a ma
terial reduction Of prices on nearly all
commodities, especially in the liae of
staple and fancy dry goods, clothing. mo-
tons, etc. To become convinced of the
truth of the above assertion, you have
ouly to visit the New York Store, Farmer
4 Lesser's, and price the goods in their
establishment and you will find that a uni
form reduction OF at least twenty per cent.
has been made on the prices of goods in
every department Of their store. The
reason is plain aud easily camprehended.
Their stock is large, money scarce, and col
lections slow. and immediate realization
upon their stock in trade is imperative.
Do not fail to price their goods before pur-
chasing elsewhere.

Tommy Douglas Carries or the
Prize.

Prize.
Yesterday was a gala day for oHr FIRE
laddies. 1t was the occasion Of the first
firemen's election in Eureka. The bows
began to gather in the vicinity Of the
Courthouse long before the time fixed for
the opening Of the polls, aud the merits
and chances Of success Of the several can
didates were extensively discussed by the
crowd. The partisans OF the respective
candidates all seemed sanguine OF victory.
The first five ballots cast were for Mont
gomery, which had a depressing effect on
the friends OF the other two candidates.
But the Douglas and McDermott men soon
rallied and the fight became spirited all
along the line. Toward evening betting
became lively, and considerable coin was
staked, the odds being in favor of Douglas.
When the polls closed at Z oe1ock. it was
generally conceded that the election was
exceedingly close, and no one appeared
entirely confident rs to who tie winning
man would be. There were go registered
votes, Of which number 213 we're polled.
One member Of the Department died yos-
terday morning, leaving bat six who did
not vote. Two Of these were absent from
town. Following is the result: Douglas,
"a; Montgomery, rs; MeDermott, "A.
After the result had been announced, a
great many firemen c~ongrcgated at the
saloon Of the sisccessiui candidate, ami the
new Chief set 'em up at a lively rate. The
day passed without disturbance worthy Of
note, and while some Of course were dis
appointed, the utmost harmony prevailed
among the members Of the entire Depart
ment.

The Reno Gazette" contains some sen
sible remarks on the subject Of awnings,
that will apply to Eureka at present. 1t
says The mat, stylish and cheap rawlings,
which are so s~senpular IN San Francisco,
would be very well adapted to the streets
of Reno. Align: frame, securely fastened
to the building, and covered with canvas,
Of seino color not i~nharmonious with the
surroundings, would last quite a long
time, and without costing any more,
would be much more satisfactory than the
cumbersome wooden frames and roofs,
with heavy rolls Of canvas resting on pill
lars at the edge Of the sidewalk. A little
~forethought now will ba a great benefit to
the town.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Having a little leis-

to let you know how we are progressing in
this locality. The Typo Consolidated
Mining Company are now running furnace
No. /, while No. 2 is being refined and re-
paired. The Company purpose keeping
one furnace constantly running, and also
their 20-stamp mill, both Of which are
now doing remarkably well. The future
Of Typo looks brighter to-day than ever
before, and gives our residents fuller con-
fidence in what they have always believed
to be one Of the most permanent mining
| camps in the State of Nevada, and miners
and prospectors now push their work with
renewed vigor en- claims that have hereto
fore been thought to be worked out.
The most promising mining claims now
in the district are the Fox. Luse and J. f.
These three mines will prove to be valu-
able properties ere many manths have
passed. Eureks must look out for herself
or Typo will take the laurels from her
brow. More mon, s. G.
