This combination has unquestionably
given greater satisfaction, and their per-
Torrance has been attended by a more Sc
lect and refined audience than any enter
tainment that has visited Eureka during
the winter. The singing really makes the
entertainment, and the proverbial vocal
talent of the colored race, both wild and
refined, is well exemplifed, while some OF
their operate selections and ballads are not
surpassed by first-class opera companies.
Wallace King rendered Grandfather

serving Of patronage, and should be en-
couranged by rousing houses.

Two Men Killed In The CALIFORNIA;
Mine. NJ Virginia.
The Virginia "Chronicle'' Of Saturday
says that about 10 O'Clock on that day,
Harry shellenburg and Benjamin Davis
were instantly killed by a blast that made
connection between the 2,O00-drift Of the
Ophir and the 2,150-drift Of the Califor-
mia. 1t appears that for some days past
the force Of the two drifts have been in
such close proximity 10 each other that the
sound Of the drilling could be heard from
one to the other. On Friday Mr.. Mackey
gave orders to establish Q system of sig
nails, to BE- given before each blast was
fired, as . connection might be driven
through at any time. 1t was accordingly
agreed that q succession OF quick taps with
Q hammer Cd the rock, would be the signal
that blasting operations we're to begin, and
q number Of slow taps would indicate the
number Of cartridges fired. About 9 o'clock
the signals came from the Ophir, warning
the California men that O blast Of seven
shots was about to be put in. Soon after
ward the Califoi mia men retired, and
waited until nearly 10 O'Clock, when seven
shots we're heard apparently from the
Ophir side. Davis and Shellenburgh went
into the drift Immediately, and as they
reached the fuse the blast from the Ophir
blew q mass Of rock into their faces. The
California drift was o little the lower Of
the two, and the bottom Of the Ophir drift
was about the middle Of the California
drift. The blast made q hole about two
feet square. The rock struck the men in
the breast, and must have killed them in
stantly. 1t appears that there was a blast
Of seven shots fired in some other part Of
the mine just before tie blast was fired in
the Ophir. The two men mistook the To-
cality OF the blast, and thinking that the
Ophir blast had been fired, walked directly
in the face OF death. Shellcnburgh was
about 46 years Of age.

that neither dust nor water can penetrate

last year were SIPS, 900, in round numbers,
or between fifteen and sixteen per cent. per
annum on the construction, or q little
more than one and a quarter per cent. per
month. The exhibit was presented to the
Railroad Committees in session at Carson

rotary Of State, as provided by law. Now
that the financial operations Of the Com

1t is not generally known, says the
Rondout IN. " Courier, but is said to be
the fact, that the two, probably the richest
men in America to-day, viz: Mackey and
Flood, the bonanza kings Of California,
both went there from Ulster county. as did
also O'Brien, who died last year. All three
Of these men were Of Irish birth and pa
rentage. Mackey and his two brothers,
with their mother. were brought to this
country when the children we're very young
by an uncle, who still lives in this city.
On their arrival In this country, their first
stopping place was Shandaken, where
Mackey was well known and is still remem-
bcred as . bright, active, Woodworking
bark-peeler. He was ever on the alert,
and the cry OF Gold in California in his
case fell on willing ears, and he was one OF
the first to reach the Golden State. And
though to-day called immensely wealthy.
he does not forget the uncle who so kindly
stood by him as a father through boyhood,
but ever and anon sends him q check for q
thousand or two. At one time the old
gentleman, thinking his nephew too lib
eral, returned the check. Our informant
was not SO we'll acquainted with either
Flood or O'Brien, but knew them both a.
puddlers in the Saugerties iron mill.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Main street, north
from sweency's stable, is . perfect puddle
Of mud and slush. Why is this thusp Be-
cause those living on the west side OF the
street have closed up the drain made by
Mr.. Whitton, and now the water from all
sources has TO run into the middle OF the
street, which will make IL either muddy or
icy oil winter. The old supervisor used to
look after the condition Of the streets and
drains I; but now, alas it is no ones BUSH
ness. which shows the great necessity for q
corporation. GROWER.

In our mining report Of yesterday we
stated that work had been suspended on
the Charter tunnel. Our informant was
wrong, and we are pleased to state That the
force of workmen has been increased in
stead of suspended. On the Needle. one
of the c%ompany's mines, an extra shift has
been put on, so that the mine is now being
worked day and night. We saw some very
good ore from this property yesterday.

How TO Encourage Young Men.

For the benefit of some Of Eureka's fair
damsels We publish the following from an
exchange: Girls, IL you want to encour-
age young men, get an album. It's the
first thing a bashful young man grabs
when he enters a strange house where
there are girls. We've seen them look
through one till they knew every picture
by heart, from page one to General Grant
in the back part. It's wonderful what in
terest a bashful man will take in q girls

Says the Gazette: The welcome news
reaches Reno that the tunnel which Nose
Herbert is running into the Pacific mine
made a strike Wednesday night. The ore
is a black sulphuret containing either silver
or galena, and is very heavy. The COM
pany let a contract last fall for a tunnel Of
800 feet. This was completed last week,
and the Trustees put ON an assessment to
run 200 feet further. After going 16 feet
in the new contract they struck this body
Of ore. 1t is four feet wide and lies in .
vein OF quartz 10 feet wide. 1t is $50 feet
below the surface.

The Raymond and Ely Mil.

The Phoebe Record says the above mill
is running Ave stamps On chloriders' ois
from the mine. the balance Of the stamps
being hung up. The ore Of the Company
Ii allowed 10 accumulate until towards the
latter end Of the month, when 9 run Of
about ten days will be made, so as to run
it through and nave a clean up by the first
Of March. About 200 tons Of the Com
pany's ore is shipped to the mill monthly,
in addition to which a large amount Of ore
taken out by chloriders from the Com
pany's mines goes there to be worked.
When we were there enough ore had been
run through TO make $4,000 in bullion,
and the calculation was to retort on Thurs
day and have six bars up here by Friday
evening. Outside Of what is required TO
work the chloriders' ore the sixteen pans
and eight settlers are working away on tail
ihgs. A new tram way has bcen run from
the mill TO another portion of the failing
pit, and the tailings from this source seem
TO work to a higher grade than the tailings
from the old portion Of the pit. The tail
ings are run into the mill from the tram
way, the steam machinery pulling up three
loaded cars at q time. The three cars con-
tain z, 400 pounds, 80 that the mill is easily
kept supplied. No change has taken place
in the mill. except that q meter has been
knocked of. saving the Company $50 per

EDITOR SENTINEL. 1 notice in the Leader
Of the 18th instant a telegram to the effect
that s. B. Bell died while under the in
fuence Of chloroform, during q surgical
operation performed by DR.. Lane. 1t is
true Sam Bell is dead, and that DR.. Lane
performed an operation ON him, but in re-
gard to his dying while under the influence
Of chloroform. and during the operation,
it is false. He had recovered from the in
| fiuence Of the chloroform before the wound
was fully dressed, and utter the Doctor
was through Bell got up and walked into
an adjoining room without any assistance,
spoke freely, and his mind appeared fully
restored. He was then taken to his room,
and did not die for over three days from
that time. There were several OF his
friends present with myself during the
operation, and all were well pleased, and
thought he would soon be out again o
sound man.
A word in behalf Of DIR. Lane. / con-
slider him a very eminent physician, and
do not think any person could have dis
played more skill than he did in perform

A Solemn Pledge Broken.
We recorded a solemn vow the other day
that any more problems or answers to
problems that should be sent us in future
should be consigned to our waste basket.
We nave made an exception in the follow
ing cases, for obvious reasons. If any
good Samaritan will take pity on a poor
overtaxed devil Of a local, let them send in
a reply:
EDIroR SENTINEL: Please allow me to
ask those who maintain that the town loses
SSH, if q merchants profits OF losses are
not computed on what he began business
with. If q merchant begins the year with
81. 900. and makes a profit of $3.50 from
sale of goods, and when the time
comes to pay his clerk he fnds
the clerk has stolen $500. how
shall we find what his losses dur
ing the year have been. II l mistake
not, every merchant, in balancing up the
years business, takes what he had at his
last settlement, and then says: 81 have
made Tor lost so much during the year."
1t does not seem to me as il the profits
from liquors sold between the first and
second settlements should enter into the
final settlement, because your problem
does not say SO. Yours, STRANGER
WARD, February IA.
