Local Editors Dream.

Once upon a time a local editor dreamed

approached a city before him, and knocked
for admittance, but no one answered ms
The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for an
entrance. but the only response was scores
OF heads appearing above the wall on the
other side Of the gate. AT sight OF him
the owners of the heads set up dismal
howl and one Of them cried; why didn't

DEATH OF THOMAS SMITH.
George Hill, an Old Eurekan, His
u

Thomas Smith, Of Tuscarora, who was
shot by George Hill, in this place, on We'd
nesday night, died from the effect Of his
wound about 1880 P. N. today. Being in
formed by his physician this morning
that his term Of life was necessarily short,
he executed a wills in which whatever
property he possessed, was conveyed TO his
sister, who came from Tuscarora, and has
been attending at his bedside ever since
Thursday evening. The deceased was ma
tive OF Philadelphia, Pa, and 43 years Of
age. A couple of brothers live in Tusea-
rora, who will arrive here tonight, and an
other brother in Eureka, has been tele-
graphed, but has not yet been heard from.
The above is from the Elko Independent,
Of last Saturday. There seems to have been
little cause for the shooting. The men en-
tered a saloon, called for the drinks, and
before the barkeeper could serve them, they
got into a row and commenced shooting.
After high words had been running, Hill
notified Smith to stand back and not ap-
preach him or he would shoot. Smith did
not heed the warning, but rushed on Hill,
and in the struggle the pistol was dis
charged, the wound inflicted resulting as
above stated. George Hill was a shooting
character, and lived in Eureka for several
years. We never heard OF him being con-
sidered dangerous while here, though it
was generally supposed that he would fight
IL crowded. He is now in the Elko county

Rabbit Hole SULPHUR Mines.

The above mines, located in Humboldt
county, have been consolidated, and are
now owned by one company, who propose
to serve the whole country with refined
sulphur. The company has let a contract
to haul fifteen hundred tons Of birthstone
from the mines to the railroad at Hum
boldt House. and are now making ship
ments regularly. They expect shortly to
be able to deliver from ten to twelve tons
of sulphur daily at the railroad, and will
be able to deliver ii at a lower price in
San Francisco than what it can be i'm
ported for. Considerable sulphur is used
In the manufacture OF acids. and there Is
quite a demand for it for this and other
purposes in all parts Of the country. Fine
specimens of refined, crude and crystalized
sulphur from these mines can be seen in
our cabinet. They were kindly sent by the
accommodating superintendent, MI. J.T
Jeffress.

How the ROugher e Were Toasted
at n Literary Reunion In Oregon.

Mrs. Duniway, of the New Northwest, at
q literary reunion st Salem. Oregon,
toasted" the men as follows; God
bless 'eml They have our joys, they double
our sorrow, they treble our expenses, they
quadruple our cares, they excite our mag
nanimity, they increase u self-respeet,
they awaken our enthusiasm, they arouse
our affections, they control our property
and outman nuver us in everything. This
would be a very dreary world without
'em; in fact, I may say, without prospect
Of successful contradiction, that without
'em it would not be much Of a world any
how. We love 'em, and the dear beings
can't help it. As husbands they are always
convenient, though not always on hand; as
beaux, they are by no means 'matehless.'
They are most agreeable visitors; they are
handy at State fairs and indispensable at
oyster saloons. They are splendid as es-
eorts for some other fellows wife or sister,
and as friends they are better than women.
As our fathers, they are inexpressibly
grand. A man may be a failure in business,
a wreck In constitution, not enough to
boast OF as a beauty, nothing as o wit, less
thar nothing as a legislator for woman's
rights, and even not very brilliant as q
member Of the press; but II he is our own
father we overlook his shortcomings and
cover his peccadilloes with the divine man
tie Of charity"

noticed, been hauled over the Goals by the
press Of Colorado, for having the courage
to controyert a few of its garbled state.
ments regarding the bullion output of your
district. II the Colorado papers are so
well satisfied of its mineral resources. and
so hopeful for the future, what need Of troub-
ling themselves with so obscure a camp
as Eureka, or where the necessity for draw
ing invidious distinctions? The position
taken by the SENTINEL is just and proper,
and, what is more to the purpose, its state
ments can, il necessary, be borne out by
facts and figures the most incontrovertible.
A mining district which annually produces
from $40, 600, 900 to S12, 200, 600 cannot, one
would suppose, be such an obscure and in
significant locality after all. To what ex-
tent will the Appropriated output of that
state for the current year overtop Eureka's
yield for the same time? Will the Colo
a editors answer? Why, the combined
product OF only two Of your mines, the
Eureka and Richmond, for this year will
almost size that of the aforesaid State.
Eureka has been from the first a s~elf-sus-
tanning camp, and its aggregate gross yield
cannot fall far short Of $50, 900, 600. When
Colorado can exhibit a like record we will
allow her to air her ~pretensions unques-
toned, but until she does she had better
be content with the modicum Of distinc-
ton which she has already won.

copy Of your weekly, which much inter-
ested rae. 1t is al excellent paper, and a
credit to the district which it so admirably
represents, and as a well wisher l cannot
do less than wish it a hearty bon voyage
on the long journey before it.
One or two more verdicts of 'felo de Sc"
have been rendered by the Coroner's jury
since last wrote you. The mania has not,
1t would appear, died out yet, nor will it
so long as the Stock Board Of San Fran
cisco exists. To have a man for breakfast
was, at one period, an indispensable re-
quirement Of Nevada life, and the morning
paper that fails to chronicle the usual sui
eide is looked upon here as unworthy of
respectable patronage.

to run across on Thanksgiving day, and
who, Notwithstanding the fact that he had
been to see his tailor and halter, l had no
difficulty in recognizing. W. II. looked
well and seemed about as happy as a school

~ noio haid ON n Mormon Camp.
Last week a party of FIVE Mormons ar
rived in Eureka with a quantity of pro-
duce, which they sold to merchants and
others, and on Saturday started for home.
On Saturday evening they ercamped at a
point three miles beyond the 1s-mile sta
ton, on the Hamilton road. While eating
supper two armed and masked men sud-
denly entered their camp, and called out,
Hands upI' Pearson, one of the Nor
mons, closed with one Of the robbers. and
in the scuffie the l~atter's pistol was dis.
charged, the ball entering the arm at the
elbow. His companion Immediately shot
Pearson through the abdomen. Both rob-
bers fled, and made good their escape in
the darkness.
Pearson's companions conveyed him to
Hamilton, and from accounts brought yes
terday it is doubtful if he will recover.
Late ON Saturday night a man, supposed
to be one OF the would-b robbers, appeared
at the 1S-mile station, and stated he had
been shot by the Mormons. He remained
at the station until the arrival of the stage,
when he took passage for Eureka. He was
promptly arrested by Sheriff Kyle, and
placed under guard in the County Hos
pital. He turned out to be William Hill,
a former employe at the Eureka Con. fur
naees. DIR. Bishop is Of the opinion that
amputation Of the arm will be necessary.
The Sheriff having ascertained that Hill
had roomed with a man named Eugene
Benson on Friday evening, set about to
find the latter, and on Sunday evening cap
tured him in a Main street hurdy house,
and locked him up in the county jail.
Hill appears anxions to screen Benson,
and claims that he had not seen him for
fully six months previous to the affair.
This makes it worse for Benson, as it can
be proven they slept together on Friday
night, and were seen IN Saturday on the
Hamilton road. The keeper of the 49,
mile station is confident he can recognize
both men. A Deputy Sheriff will arrive
from Hamilton to-day, and will take charge
