Times Change.

Commenting upon the article recently
published under the above head, the Bodie
STANDARD" says editorially Bu were
not those 24-pounders merely Gattling guns,
Jimmy? And did not Badger shoot one
of the gunners for attempting to run away,
and dismount from his horse and, with
Captain Jacob Gray, work the gun him
self? In Bodie We have at least one man
who was in the Crescent City White
League on the 14th OF September, and who
is now quietly engaged in the business of
stock broking. and two or three others
who were witnesses of the fight on the
levee, in which one hundred men were
killed in about ten minutes" Correct.
Now will the .'Standard's" quill driver
inform us whether he was one of the gal
liant heroes who shed everything but their
shirt and breeches in order to facilitate
their mastery retreat to the Custom-house.

THE COAL
A Suggestion to which Some Par
ties VIII Seriously object.

EDITOR SENTINEL The present tempest
in a teapot, in relation to the coal burners
strike, appears to me very easy to allay.
II make the suggestion for the benefit OF
the Sheriff. Under the law Kyle is not
restricted in his choice Of q ''posse comita-
tus." tie can choose whom and as many
as he pleases. He has warrants in his
hands to be enforced. Let him call upon
the merchant contractors, the wealthy coal
onsume and mining superintendents,
who have the greatest interest in this
matter, and placing these gentlemen to the
front, march upon the belligerent Italians
and serve his warrants. No refusal is pos
sible. for the Sheriff's power is unlimited
in this regard. / am OF the opinion such a
move would end the "war" in twenty-four
hours. 1t is most just that they who have
property at stake should bear some OF the
brunt Of the battle in person. 1t may be
that they dare not seek to enforce the law
themselves. against those to whom they
have so often denied justice. CELIA.

THE METTE CONCERT.
A Full House and an Excellent En-
tertainment.

The Ruby Hill Opera House was crowded
last night to listen to the concert given by
the Mette children, assisted by Miss Edna
Perle and the Ruby Hill Glee Club, and
well it might be, for those present were
served with such a musical treat as was
never before given by home talent on the
Base Range. The programme was carried
out entire, and the audience was delighted
from the to the close.
Dir. Mette brought down the house as
Morgan Mccarthy with his darling ''ould
stick"
Mr.. Simpson sang two baritone solos,
and was rapturously encored.
The singing of the Mette children was not
only beautiful, but it was really wonderful
that children OF their age should sing so
we'll. and with such perfect harmony.
The quartette, alag Without a Stain"
by the Glee Club and Miss Perle, was ex-
cellently rendered and was the best song OF
the evening.
The most amusing and best hit Of all
was the Dutch character song and dance,
by Carrie Mette. The writer has seen
many child actresses, but Miss Carrie takes
the lead OF all, both in singing aud acting.
The manner in which she rendered this
song would do credit to a professional.
Strawberries and Cream" by Miss
Perle, was we'll received, as were also
beautiful Echoes and "Jammy jam
JAM" by the whole company.
Tom Dale needed our warning and re-
cited "Othello's Apology" Tom is a good
elocutionist, has a pleasing manner and
added greatly to the evenings enjoyment.
Mr.. Eustace's rendition Of "'Tis But a
Little Faded Flower" was loudly encored.
Mr.. Eustace aud his Glee Club gave the
children substantial support.
Master Robert Mette's female imper-
sensations could not have been surpassed,
and showed hat ne possesses abilities
scarcely to be expected Of one so young.
Master Charles song of "Don't Say Die
Till You're Dead" with guitar a%ccompani-
ment, brought down the house repeatedly.
At the close the hall was cleared for
dancing, but our reporter was unable to
await the result.
1t is to be hoped that the concert may
be repeated in Eureka.

~'AsfA &ObAlHhlS - tDe
Front rs ~ Bullion PrOducer.
The rise and fall OF mining districts in
this country form a curious study. Two
Of the leading mining camps in America
to-day were as good as abandoned for
years. We allude to Bodie and Leadville
Now each is the scene of marvellous bust
ness activity, energy and life. Reveille
district. in Nye county, was once prosper
Gus, but it finally fell away until little was
heard Of it. II WI are correctly informed,
it is again on the high road to prosperity
and very soon will assume a prominent
rank among the bullion producing and
dividend declaring camps Of the Coast.
There seems to be no doubt that the ella
mine has plenty OF rich ore on the lower
levels. A gentleman Of Reveille, whose en-
tire truthfulness We can vouch for, writes
as follows to a friend in Eureka concerning
the condition of the mine. He says:
1--WE have for some time had fine ore, but
the extent Of the ore body until now was
not known, and even now its exact size can
not be estimated. We know beyond per-
adventure that it is a large and we'll de-
fined body. The ore was first struck in
what is called the south drift, and it has
been continuous for the entire distance
run (120 fect). The vein will average
about two feet in width, a part
Of which 10 very rich, some of
it assaying as high as 81, 900 per
ton, aud it will all probably average $3.50.
Samples taken by three different parties,
some time ago, gave an average Of S1G0,
Sl40 and Sl1S. At or near the end Of the
| south drift a winze has been sunk to the
| depth OF 10 feet on the vein, which carries
ore OF about the same width and value as
the drift above. In the bottom Of this
Wine there is now about eight feet Of good
ore, with a perfect and regular wall. Tho
ledge, which was badly broken near the
surface, has now been recovered, and is
found to go down strong and regular.
Ore is being stopped and taken TO the mill,
the latter having been started up on the
Sth instant. Ii is claimed by the man
agement Of the property that four-bit diyi-
dends will be in order right along after the
10th Of September"
This is indeed q most encouraging show
ing. The eight feet Of ore at the bottom,
with the vein regular, promises well for the
future OF the camp. The ores Of Reyeille
District have always been rich, and now
that the vein has been recovered, we can
sec nothing to prevent the ella from re-
suining dividends in the immediate future.
The company owns an excellent ten-stamp
mill. The first shipment Of bullion on the
run, amounting probably to over $40, 900,
may be expected here the present week.
