White Pines Outlook brighter
Than Usual.

HAMILTON, May q. 1878.
EDrroR SENTINEL: Matters at White Pines
county seat are just now brighter than for
some time past. The mining outlook in this
locality is better than at any time during the
past two years. Tn old Henry tunnel has
been purchased by a Norfolk wal company,
with Postmaster Nichols. Of that place, as
President, and Mr.. sissell, PRECEDENT Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Vice President
The company has already ct a contract of 300
feet. and work Is now proceeding on the tunnel.
IL is their lntention land | learn the money is
already subscribedl to drive the enterprise
1000 feet.
The Badly Sour Company, which some time
since pur hased the sweetwater mine from
). +. Paul. are working both OF these claims.
and the result OF their operations have proved
50 satisfactory that Mr.. Paul. the Superintend-
ent. was last Sunday telegraphtd for from
New York, to proceed to that city Immediately.
l learn that they intend Z, erect steam hosting
works and employ a Urge force of men. The
prospects in their nAints. especially the Sweet
water. are of such favorable character rs 10
warrant this activity ON the part of the COM
pany. Mr.. Paul departed for New York on
Monday morning last, aud in his absence Mr..
Tim Shine. an old Treasure Hill miner. is ill.,
stalled Ms Superintendent Of the CON pany.
The Eberhsrdt x Aurora Company are still
driving tleir tunnel in favorable ground. The
mill at Eberhardt has been shut down for a
week, bull learn that 1t will be started mp
again in a few days on tailings. of which there
is a sufficient supply to keep it running for two
years, in case they prove profitable to work.
The stafford Company, owned by S. Il. Paul.
Tim Shine and John Flynn. are working their
mine and taking out some good ore. Tie buys
say there Is life in the old camp yet.
Mr. W. I. Flower and Colonel Coulter have
just struck another very rich chamber of ore in
the fruckee mine, below Hamilton. They are
going t, increase their force, and in the next
few months expect 10 realize quite "a stake,
which is the ardent wish Of many of their
friends here.
From Superintendent Kendell. I learn that
the Jennie A property never looked better.
They have y large amount Of ore ON the dumps,
and plenty more ready to extract. Recent as
says made from the lower workings in this
mine give ret0rns of from sl5 to SO in gold.
The company will doubtless erect reduction
works some time this season. They have done
u vast amount of work on their mine, and
have 1t in fine condition for production.
Periey Rowell, who some time since had his
leg broken, Is ON his pins again, but he warned
your correspondent not to let DIR. owen know
that he was stepping yet. Perley expects to be
as brisk on his pins IN u few weeks us ever.
The latest news from the stabbing ARRAY at
Ward. last Saturday. is that McCabe, the
wounded man, cannot live. Ilearn this morn
ing. that Ciilo.d, the assassin, was seen at
White River ON Sunday last. The stabbins is
said to have been a cowarily act. and this peo-
pie are very Indignant that SO foul al assassin
should go unpublished. / have learned Of no
effort being made to capture the fugitive from
Justice.
Many cattle men in this county are driving
their stock to Utah and Colorado, fearing that
the dry season will leave no feed for them to
subsist upon. Many Of the ranchers in White
River. stsptoe, aud other valleys in this
county, are disheartened st the crop prospects,
owing to the prospective dry season. The hay
crop, they say. viii be the smallest ever known
in. this section, ard they look for u very short
grain crop.
Mr.. w. ). Grey, a well-knewn White piner,
and an old inter, is dangerously i'll with
pneumonia. ID.
