An Ola Miner Prospecting In Cali
fDrnia.

Mr.. F. W. Robinson, of the Albion, il
in receipt Of a letter from J. H. Ely, Of
the Raymond Il Ely mine, written from
Lone Pine, Inyo county, California. Mr..
Ely is on a prospecting tou in California,
and we have been permitted to make the
following extracts from the letter
Am still in the land of the %sagebrush,
and have been bnsily engaged in searching
for the earth's hidden treasures. l firmly
believe that / nave found another FL Do
RADIO, and am convinced that the Inyo
range, from Cerro Gordo north for one
hundred and fifty miles will. in time, go
far ahead of any camp now in existence.
| have taken mp a small property fifteen
miles northeast Of Independence, and have
every facility for working right on the
ground, and nave found some very rich
gold as well as silver ore. The silver
lodges have large groupings, something like
the Phoebe mines. The gold lodges are
small but well defined. As yet no work of
any consequence has been done, and it is
hard to say yet what they will turn out to
be. Personally. / am willing to risk it, as
it suits me better than anything | have
seen for years on this side OF the Sierra
Nevadas. l preaict that this country will
spring into prominence in a very short
time, and already the tide of immigration
is setting this way from Bodie.
Cant you make me a flying visit, at
least? Come by way Of Mojave Station
on Southern Pacific road.

The Reno calamity should serve as a
warning to the people not only of Eureka,
but of all mining towns. Yet, strange to
say, no n appears to attach any import
ance to that disastro us affair, or to take
any steps tending to prevent Eureka fol-
lowing in its footsteps. Astove dealer in
formed us yesterday, that within the past
few days he has, in putting up and repair
ing stoves, found several pipes that had been
burned completely through at their june
ton with the roof, and which an ordinary
gust of wind would have blown over, and
a fire would necessarily have been the re-
suit. Action should be Immediately had
to prevent such an occurrence, and all the
housekeepers in town should be calledmpon
TO examine their pipes, and to make such
repairs as the case may demand.

RIDGE.
The End Of a Long, Useful and Hon.
OrabIe Career

The End Of q Long, Useful and Hon.
OrabIe Career.
At an early hour yesterday morning,
Mr.. Salathiel Ridge, who Of late has kept
a boarding house on Buel street, partook
Of q hearty breakfast, and then started up
town. He had not proceeded far before he
was seized with a paralytic stroke, and was
Immediately removed to his house, and
DR.. Nesbitt called in. Everything was
done to relieve his sufferings, without
avail, and about 8 o'clock last evening
he died quietly aud peacefully. Mr..
Ridge was born in Pennsylvania in 1920,
and was consequently SO years Of age.
When quite young his parents moved to
Ohio, and afterwards to Indiana, and he
made his advent on the coast during the
memorable days Of 40, being one of Cali
~forni4's pioneers. From that time until
1872, when he settled in Eureka. he roamed
over all the territory Of the Pacific Slope.
After his arrival here he engaged in vari-
Gus pursuits, but in every calling he was
recognized as an honorable, upright man,
and enjoyed the confidence and respect Of
all with whom he was brought in contact.
An affectionate husband, a kind father,
and sincere friend, his loss will be felt not
only by his immediate family circle, but
by our entire community, who will extend
to his bereaved family their heartfelt
sympathies. His was a long, honorable
and useful career, and latter LIES fitful
fever, he sleeps we'll" He was a member
of the Masonic fraternity, and will be
buried from their hall ON Friday at 2
O'Clock.

A Suggestion and n Growi.

EDITOR SENTINEL: How natural it is for
people in the condition Of those OF
Reno, after the burning of the city, to cry
out against the carelessness of stove-pipes,
throwing Of fire and ashes in the streets,
and otherwise assisting to make a FIRE. The
SENTINEL has been warning the people of
Eureka for years, plainly and continually,
but the warming will not be needed until
Eureka is in ashes. 1t might, perhaps, BE-
well to consult Mrs. Bowers, to find out
how long before that time will come.
The sidewalk on the east side Of Buel
street. between Clark and Bateman, is to-
tally blocked up. many places having rail
ings across, and some are five or six feet
higher than others. 1t is a shame. Oh +!
no. we don't need a corporation. Ii the bill
just passed gives the power to abate such
nuisances, the Commissioners should send
for a certified copy right away, that the
people might vote on it. X.

Advice to Iilc Men.

Some Of our contemporaries, says the
Virginia Chronicle are advising the
idle men on the Com stock and in other
mining localities to go prospecting on their
own account. They say with much truth
that vast regions yet remain unexplored
in this State and in the southeastern part
of California, where fortunes await I'M
covering and numerous towns are to be
built up. Here is a field for the idle, they
say, in which there is more to harvest than
can be found in cities and towns, or in the
quiet agriculture regions. This is all very
well, but the great question is, how are the
unemployed to reach the promising local
titles and prosecute explorations when they
get there? 1t takes money to travel, even II
one goes afoot, and it takes more money
to open up q claim or to discover and trace
the groupings of a ledge. An ordinary out
fit for a miner going to the new district
south of Bodie, for instance, would cost at
least a hundred dollars. This would hardly
include provisions for two or three months,
the time necessary to make an examination
of one district. How many men now out
Of employment on the Comstock can raise
that much money might easily be estimated.
1t is safe to calculate that not more than
one in a hundred can do it. The remain
ing ninety-nine must stay where they are,
therefore, until they can gather the re-
quisite capital for such an undertaking, or
else select enterprises involving a less ex-
penditure. 1t is clear that they cannot so
a prospecting with nothing in their pockets.
Then what are these idle men to do? They
must slowly distribute themselves III the
directions from which proceeds the great
est demand for labor, travelling as best
they can. When Spring opens business Will
revive in all the mining town OF Nevada
and California, and the haying season will
be on hand in that State, with the harvest
time closely following. There Will be a
considerable demand for hands. Bodie.
T~uscarora, Eureka, as well as some new
districts in Humboldt county, will no doubt
need extra men, In the meanwhile the idle
must weather through as best they can, re-
membering when the sunny days again
come for them that the way to prvent hard
times is to lay away something in prosper
ity with which to meet possible adversely.

THE wORKINGMEN.
Some MiIi Expressions Concerning
the Veto Of the Chinese Bill.

At a meeting Of the Workingmen's Club
OF Eureka, held last night. a majority Of
the members being present, the following
resolutions were passed
WHEREAS, The President OF the United
States has presumably, through the maud
lin scntimentality evinced by the wealthy
classes of the East. aided by such enemies
to the working classes as Bread and Water
Beeeher aud the Rev. Joseph Cook, whose
influences, more than any other, probably.
contributed TO induce the Pious Hayes to
veto the Chinese Immigration bill, and
that we deem that veto a direct insult to
the intelligence Of the working classes of
our whole country, and Of the Pacific
Coast in particular; and
Whereas, "Self-preservation il the first
law Of nature" and it appears hopeless to
expect any aid through legislation, where
by the curses emanating from the infinx
Of the Monaghan race may not be inflicted
upon us, degrading our race and making a
future OF humiliation and infamy only too
probable 10 the descendants OF working
men, and feeling that it is our duty to
humanity to protect our race against the
encroachments of this Pagan horde, there
fore be it
Resolved, by all here assembled, that we
will each and every one use our best en-
deavors TO drive the Chinese from our
midst. and we demand the cooperation Of
all workingmen Of this county.
Resolved. That the Chinese must go.
Resolved, That the regular meetings OF
this organization shall be held in secret.
and that the party platform Of the W. p. G.

Arrest Of Tobacco Thieves.

Some time ago, mine host Turner, of the
Turner House, awoke one morning and
found himself minus eight boxes of cigars
and a bottle of liquor, which some unprin-
cipled scamp had appropriated during the
night. Nothing was heard of the missing
articles until yesterday, when Fred Cor

individuals, and after securing undoubted
evidence of their guilt, arrested them in
an opium den in Chinatown, together with
the proprietor of the place. Part of the
goods were recovered. 1t is the opinion of

A convict Murderer on Trial.

The trial Of Flynn, the murderer of
VIM. Bethards, a fellow convict at the State
Prison, is in progress in the District Court
at Carson. 1t will be remembered, says
the Virginia 'Chroniele," that Bethards
was the Steward of the Penitentiary, and
was killed by a knife in the hands of Flynn.
1t is supposed that Bethards was the victim
of a conspiracy among the convicts, and
that his death was a punishment for refus-
ing to furnish knives and other articles
within his control by which the conspira-
tors might have made their escape. Flynn
has been kept in an underground dungeon
all winter.

their home in Nye county. 1t is perhaps
not wonderful that the worthy gentleman
should seek TO surround himself with
natural charms, since ones peace
Of mind is often secured by a mere
