Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1879-11-20

Since about last Friday there has been a
heavy flow Of water into the lower levels Of
the Eureka Consolidated from the south
and eastward. The 140o and 1900 levels
are submerged. and it was thought last
night that there would be trouble on the
1900 by this morning. II appears that the
X X water has broken into the Eureka
Consolidated, leaving the former high and
dry. The new bonanza Of the X K can
now be worked without interruption. 1t is
thought that the Richmond may also get
a share OF this X X water, as the Eureka
Con. Is most probably prepared to pass 1t
on to the ~porthwsrd. There il no danger
Of the ore supply Of the Eureka being in
terfered with by the food. The chief sup
ply Of ore comes from the 500. There is
an outlet for the water 10 the northwar6
before getting that high.

A DEAD HORSE SALE.
Wells. Fargo & Co.'s Annual Prize
LOTTERY.

The Virginia Chronicle says the annual
sale OF articles lying in the Office Of Wells.
Fargo 4 Co., upon which the transportation
charges had not been paid. took place on
Saturday. The articles numbered over
two hundred, and were OF all conceivable
kinds. The anxious buyers did not have
any means Of ascertaining what the bun
dies or boxes contained, but bought, In
every case, 'pig in o bag" Prices ranged
high ut first, until some OF the packages
were opened. The result was like visiting
dav at the mines--a tumble followed. At
the beginning, for instance. one man bid
IS for a neatly-done-up bundle Of patent
medicine circulars. When he opened his
purchase the laugh was so t~hroughly on
him that he left the scene in utter disgust.
Another man, who saw a carefully sealed
small bag in the hands Of the a~actioneer,
and supposed that 1t contained some valua-
BILE things. bid IS for it. 1t was knocked
down 10 him. He opened the nice little
canvas bag tsuch as money Is generally
transported I'M and found that II contained
samples OF rock taken from the $50 level OF
the Belle Isle niue, In Tusearora. A few
such exposures soon knocked the price
down from 80 to so cents for things the
value ofswhieh could not be seen upon the
surface. At those figures many got bar
gains, while as many more were fooled to
the full extent Of their investment. A man
bought a box about two feet square, with a
very rusty-looking exterior, for S2.oo,
which proved to contain q rare assortment
OF articles OF more or less particular value.
Among them was a glass globe for cover
ing flowers or other delicate things, a lady's
work box, a set of ivory-handied earvers'
A beautiful china teapot and some other
articles of beauty and utility. When this
man opened the box prices at once rose
afty per cent. 1t was like admitting the
public to see a veritable bonanza. Prices
soon fell again, however, when subsequent
purchases we're found to be of little or no
value. A good deal Of fun was oceasioned
when an old lady. who had run the bids on
A large pasteboard box up to S2.25 had II
knocked down to her, only to find that 1t
contained an old jute switch set OF cor
sets that had evidently been worn Tor
wears, and some long used odds n enos
of lesser Importance.

ran railroad conductor, breathed his last
at 2 o'clock Monday evening. The inirm-
ities OF age had told heavily upon the old

finally, some three weeks since. he was con-
fined to his bed, and Notwithstanding tho
best Of medical treatment and careful
nursing. he gradually continued to fail,
and at IL o'clock last night became uncon-
scious, continuing in that condition until
the hour Of dissolution. The physical
energies had become exhausted, and all
efforts to retain the vital spark proved in
effectual, the genial spirit passing to "that
bourne whence no traveller returns"

is due in a great measure to the care exer-

words certificates of their honesty
