Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1879-08-01

The Reno Gazette" is responsible for
this: The following story is told of a
clever aud somewhat noted sagebrush
divine not a thousand miles from Eureka.
The occurrence happened several years
ago, when the parson was pastor Of a con-
gregation whose principal characteristic
was liberality-both AZ regards supporting
the church and construction of the Scrip
lures. One Sunday evening, when the
congregation had gathered in the church
to hear the Word as usual, the minister
was Il little behind hand in coming out Of
the vestry. When he did come it was with
a lively, busting air, quite in contrast TO
the solemn elaboration usually affected by
the clergy. He delivered a sermon about
ffieen minutes in length, aud cutting the
rest Of the services short, dismissed the
congregation. One OF the pillars Of the
church, whose regard for the preacher
arose from the ~latter's appreciation Of the
worlds good things. went around to the
door Of the vestrv, and meeting the minis
ter coming ont. asked him why the SER
vices were abbreviated So why" re-
piled the clergyman, II have been playing
in a poker game. aud left II fellow to play
my hand till | came back" The lay mem
Der admitted that his conduct was perfectly
justiiable under the circumstances.

as a summer resort.
John Curnow, the man injured by a
falling hammer in the Phenix mine some
time since, is very low and cannot recover.
Miss Lizzie Lang departed yesterday
morning for Virginia City. That her visit

many friends.
A lady was heard to remark the other
day, that there WAS no comfort in cloth
ing. this hot weather, aud she immedi-
ately disrobed herself-of a string of beads.
The past two days Eurekans carry their
heads as a boy would his sore thumb.
They are trying to do business, keep an
eye on Old Prospect, and listen for the
Richmond alarm whistle, at all hours.
The volunteer support of the Sherwin-
Porteous benefit, in Eureka last week, has
been pronounced upon rs the best part of

The evergreen stringers across the prin-
| cipal streets of our town, the trees along
the sidewalks. the wreaths upon the house
fronts, the floating banners all relics of

Eureka and tie Prosp ct Mountain Tunnel
Companies represent the grand scheme of
prospecting Eureka District. The Albion,
Richmond, Eureka Coz, Phenix and Jack
son are sufficiently well known to guaran-
tee the recent Improvements in Ruby Hill

neling developments hangs the fate of this
district. In asking General Conner, who,

men az work on some Of the stTingers OF
ore which have been cut lately, the con-
tractor, Dan Donovan, was told to "get
under the mountain as fast az possible,
and they are doing SO. The tunnel is now
in close on to $50 feet. the last fifty feet
improving in ore indications with each
blast. The stringers already cut would
be followed up as frst-class prospects were
they on the Comstock. The General will
be here to look after them shortly.
Silver Connor-Is taking out nothing
but ore, and il improves in richness as
greater depth is attained. We have been

One OF the Queer Features OF Coast
Camps.

WRCD ~O"R
Camps.
Says the "Stock Report: ga queer
feature Of the mining industry on the Pa
cifc Coast is the jealousy existing between
districts. To illustrate, the Comstock lode
is the greatest gold and silver bearing vein
the world has ever known. and yet every
little outside district where q vein OF ore is
found proclaims itself to the world as the
second Comstock, and il the surface de-
posits happen to be rich, as is almost al
ways the case. the people and press OF the
district occupy themselves in bclittIing the
Comstock and picturing the wonderful fu-
ture in store for their mines when the
Comstock will be among the things that
were. II a man is Interested in mines IN
Bodie, and he hears Of good prospects in
Lake, he pooh-poohs them ; the Lake man
tells you that when I'VE get our mines
opened Bodie will be nowhere Eureka
says Phoebe is played out, and Phoebe re-
torts that Eureka is base. White Pine
compares its bullion record with Hum
boldt. and Humboldt comes back and says
that White Pine is In limestone. Paradise
likens itself to Tuscarora, and Tuscarora
says Par adise il too low grade and so it
goes, one district belittline the other. Put
ting the Comst0ck first on the list, Eureka
next and Bodie next, and the other dis
tricts in the order of their bullion product,
each has a merit unto itself, and on that
merit each has found. or will find, its
level. 1t is nonsense for one to try to de-
cry the other, because results will demon
strate the resources and extent OF each.
The Comstock is a marvel in mining; Bo-
die is wonderfully rich in gold /; Eureka is
the greatest smelling camp on the CONT
nent; Austin has inexaustible razor
blades of very rich strictly silver ore;
Tuscarora's lodges are turning out gold
and silver bullion in large quantities /;
Lake District has grand prospects for a
new camp White Pine and Phoebe have
turned out their millions aud wi ! again
come to the front as bullion producers ;
Ward has its Martin White, and each II
every district has some distinguishing fea-
ture that gives its mines notoriety."
