The Banner Mine.

The Stock Report says the Eureka Con.
is the banner mine Of the United States.
1t has just declared a dividend Of 50 per
share, being its forty-seventh dividend.
The constant and liberal dividends Of the
Eureka Con. speak well not only for its
as a mine. but for its manage
ment. 1t has had to contend against a
low price for lead. discount on silver and
high cost of reduction, yet in spite Of all
these obstacles it declares its dividends as
regularly as the month comes around.
Some months the dividend is three dollars,
some two and some one, according to the
profit made; but that profit is divided
among the stockholders and not frittered
away in wasteful extravaganza, or gobbled
under one trick OF another by the insiders.
The Eureka Con. is a shining example Of
legitimate mining IN this coast, and its
managers are worthy Of all praise and the
thanks Of the stock-dealing community for
their honest and economical management
of the property.

Duration of Eternity.

Eternity is an awful word. The mind
staggers when it vainly attempts to meas
ure Its boundless limits. 1t is only by il
lustration that the mind can gain even a
hint Of the vastness of never-ending time.
Various illustrations have been suggested
to convey to the mind some idea of illlmit-
able duration. 1t has been said, suppose
one drop of the ocean should be dried up
every thousand years how long would it be
ere the last drop would disappear, and the
oceans bed be left dry and dusty2 Far on
ward as that would be in coming ages, eter-
nifty would but have commenced.
1t has been said, suppose this vast globe
upon which we tread were composed OF
particles Of the finest sand, and that one
particle should disappear at the end of each
million years, oh, how inconceivably i'm
mense must be the period which must
elapse before the last particle is gonel And
yet eternity would be in its morning twi-
light.
1t has been said, suppose some little
insect, so small as to be imperceptible to
the naked eye, were to carry this world by
its tiny mouthfuls to the most distant star
the hand of God has placed in the heavens.
Hundreds Of millions Of millions of years
would be required for a single journey. The
insect commences ON the leaf Of a tree, and
takes his little load, so small that even the
microscope cannot discover that it has
gone, and sets out ON its journey. After
millions and millions of years have rolled
away, it arrives back for its second load.
oh, what interminable ages would elapse
before the whole tree would be removed.
When would the forest be gone? And
the globe? Even then, eternity would not
have commenced!

Base n Games.

A telegram was received by Secretary
Dave Aston, Of the Eureka Base Ball
Club, from the managers of the Rochester
Club, now in Salt Lake. stating they
would pass Palisade on Monday, and Offer
ing to play our club if agreeable. A reply
was sent saying that the offer would be
accepted on their return East, our boys
desiring to get their new grounds at Dia-
mond Station in condition before playing.
A letter has also been received from the
Milwaukee Club saying they would soon
visit this coast, and offering to come to
Eureka. So that within a month five
match games will be played, namely: with
the Deserets' omahas. Rochesters, Mil

The Elko Independent has this to say Of
two ~well-known Eurekans Nick Millich
and Billy Evans, two noted Eureka sports
men. becoming disguised with the scarcity
of game and the limited amount Of terri
tory in their own county, concluded to
make a predatory excursion in this direc-
ton. Unfortunately for Nick the gun with
which he intended to carry terror to the
hearts of all small and large game i'll this
vicinity, had seen service. In fact, this
particular gun is a relic Of the late coal
burners war, and was last loaded by the
gallant Captain Hubbard, Of the Artillery,
especially to shoot maccaroni. Nick fired
the gun while in the vicinity Of Deeth, and
the report was distinctly heard here by
gentlemen whose v~eracity has never been
questioned. The victim was brought into
town on a shutter, and is now recuperating
at the Hot Springs. His physician has
some hopes of patching him up so his
friends will be able to recognize him.

Charles L. Hamlin, well known through
out Eastern Nevada, died at Coleman's
ranch Wednesday morning, from causes
produced by a too liberal use Of rum. He
was formerly principal Of the public school
in Carson, and taught in Newark Valley,
Eureka. and other places, and some months
since was admitted to practice at our bar.
Possessed OF an excellent education, pleas
ing address and q faculty for making
friends, he would have been successful in
any walk in life had he not fallen a victim
to alcohol. His family is said to be one OF
the best in his native State, and one OF his
brothers is a leading and wealthy merchant
in Chicago. The Coroner's jury returned
a verdict that he came to his death from a
clot in the heart. caused by excessive use
OF stimulants. The funeral will take place
from Mr.. Haskell's at 2 o'clock this after

The following appears in the Reno Ga
zette:
EUREKA, Nevada, September 10.
Editor OF the Reno Gazette: L noticed
in a recent issue of your paper that you do
o very great injustice to a worthy minister
of this piace-the Rev. Philo Phelrs-and
feeling satisfied that you could have no per-
sonal motive to injure him, / write to cor
rect it, and also to call your attention to a
more careful examination of the article in
the EUREKA SENTINEL upon which yours
was based. That article made no reference
to him in the light in which you place it
whatever; it referred to the trouble in the
M. E. Church at Ruby Hill and some one
locking the church up on the Sunday previ-
GUS to his going up on Thursday evening to
his appointment; but he was not a party to
the trouble on either side, neither did the
article in the SENTINEL 50 connect him, but
only spoke of him and Rev. Kicker in a joe
ular way of going up there to preach to
them. The Rev. Mr.. Phelps exemplary
life is such that it could not injure him
here, but it would where he is not SO well
known do an injustice to him. Please pub
lish the corrections. Respectfully,
j. MARCHANT.
If one of the Eureka papers did not state
that the officiating clergyman Of the Ruby
Hill Methodist church, had betrayed an I'M
holy fondness for a married woman Of his
congregation and broken up his church in
consequence, then We cannot trust our eye
sight anymore. One of our Eureka ex-
changes distinctly stated that the lady's
husband was exceedingly indignant at the
conduct of the pastor. Why an attempt
should be made to make the Gazette Shout
der the responsibility we do not under
stand"
The eyesight Of the Gazette editor is GER
tainly not to be trusted, for no reference
was made to Mr.. Phelps as the officiating
clergyman of the Ruby Hill church.
