A CHINESE FUNERAL.
The Only Event that Broke Yester.
days MOnotOny.

The ceremonies incidental to a Chinese
funeral attracted q large crowd to the cor
ner of Clark and Monroe streets yesterday
afternoon. When the SExTISRL's local
reached the scene he found the coffin, q
handsome one, lying on ~trestles in the
street, while in the rear was one of the
most curious sights that ever greeted the
eye OF the uninitiated. On a table we're
two large candles, surrounded by a large
number Of sticks covered with some kind
OF infammable substance, all Of them burn
ing. In the rear of this burning mass, and
and on each side of the table, was a pile OF
dough. shaped like cakes, while between
them Law a number Of dishes filled with
fowls, nuts, rice and other articles, the
names of which are only known to those
familiar with the habits and customs Of
the FlOwery Land. Still to the rear of
this, and in separate trays, lay a roast pig
and an uncooked sheep, both of female
per suasion, the animals, as we were in
formed, always conforming to the sex OF
the corpse. Surrounding this remarkable
layout, which was an offering to appease
the wrath OF GOSH" were a number of
Chinese women experimenting the affair.
and who chartered with a volubity that
would have driven a New England maybe
crazy. On either side Of the coffin, lying
prone on the ground, with faces to the
earth, and covered with a common white
muslin gown. shaped after the fashion Of
the cowls worn by monks in feudal times,
lay the frail but anything but fair daugh-
tiers OF the dead woman. Some tim was
spent in the observance Of this ceremony,
and finally q start was made for the m
terry, the cortege being preceded by our
brass band, an unusual occurrence, as
gentlemen who nave witnessed many fune-
rails on the coast declare they never knew
a band to have been employed before.
Upon reaching the grave the coffin was
lowered into a rough box and a quantity
of preserved fruit placed along side Of it.
The corpse is supposed to feast on this
fruit while j%ourneying to the unknown
shore. The two daughters again pros
trated themselves, and a bonfire OF paper,
covered with Chinese hieroglyphics, was
made on which the effects OF the deceased
were placed and burned. A handful of
dirt was then thrown into the grave by all
the Chinese present, after which they again
sought their conveyances and returned to
the city. 1t has been the custom generally
to place a quantity of food by the grave,
but as it only afforded feasts for the In
dams, who invariably appropriated what
ever was left, it has, we believe, been gen
orally discontinued

The Phoebe Record" publishes the fol-
lowing: "Why. Of course not, the Eure-
La Club is not trying to 'crawfsh.' They
would prefer defeat a thousand times
rather than do such a thing as that. The
great excitement in Eureka caused by the
coal burners war, has made the base
ballers OF Eureka forget about that little
game they were SO DESTROYS OF playing with
the Piochers. That's what's the matter"
The reason why the challenge of the Pr
ochers has not been accepted and the day
fixed, is. as we have previously mentioned,
because our club are desious OF also play
ing the Omahas and Deserets. As the for
mer are on a professional visit to the coast,
our club must accept such q date as they
may name, and are now awaiting an an
swer. When the time has been fixed, the
Piochers. who can play at any time, will
hear from u boys. Why not SO arrange
1t that both clubs can meet here at the
same time?

Captain Henry Mill has been appointed
Superintendent of the Raymond q Ely
mine, vice 7. B. Pheby, resigned.
We learn that a daily line of light four
horse wagons is soon to be put on the road
and to run between Phoebe and Bristol.
If the drawing of pistols and hitting one
another over the head with them, and a
large amount of gambling, are sure indi-
cations of a lively camp, then old Phoebe
booms.
In the case Of the State Of Nevada VS.. R.
Frazer, the jury returned into Court and
reported that they were unable to agree
upon a verdict, whereupon they were dis
charged from further elaboration on the
case.
We have received a number Of inquiries
from Brooklyn, New York. in regard to the
whereabouts of Thomas w. Wallace, a for
mer resident of Phoebe, and a member of
the Legislature from this county in 1872.
Any one knowing of him will oblige by
communicating with the Record" Office.
The entire Groome Company property,
with the exception of the mines, was sold
on Saturday last at sherif's sale to Joshua
| Comley, superintendent of the W~yandotte
Company's mines at TEN Pahute. The
property was sold to satisfy a judgment
obtained for delinquent taxes. and the real
estate is redeemable, if it is done within
six months from time Of sale.
We learn from Colonel Jennings that
the reason a daily mail was put on between
Phoebe and Mineral Park, Arizona, was
for the purpose of having a direct daily
communication between Nevada and that
Territory. This line will connect with the
different mail routes leading to the various
mining camps in Northwest Arizona, and
thereby affording mail facilities to a num-
Der Of small camps which have heretofore
been without any. We now have a daily
| mail between Prescott, Arizona, and Pr
oche, and the greater portion Of the mail
matter that has been going to Arizona via
the roundabout way Of San Francisco, will
now come by this route, thereby reaching
its destination several days sooner than
formerly.

Preparing for the Trial Of the Coal
strikers.


Eighteen strikers are now confined in
the room over Tommy Douglas saloon,
and it has been aptly named Scamp Doug
las" The prisoners are a well-behaved,
orderly set Of men, who take their c%onfine-
ment philosophically, and spend their
time in singing and playing several must
cal instruments. They are well fed have
all the comforts possible under the circum-
stances, and unanimously assert that
Sheriff Kyle is q devilish good fellow.
Should nothing worse befall them now,
they will probably hereafter occasionally
get up a rebellion in order to obtain q lit
tie relaxation at the %county's expense.
Nine Of them were captured at Fish Creek,
four on the road between Fish Greek and
Eureka, two at Alpha. two at Spring VAL
ley, and one at Roberts Greek. Tit fol-
lowing are their names: d. Cardano,
Lurgi Piccolo, G.. d. Cardano, Severeno

doni, Bironda Antoine, Jacomo Geni, Gen.
tile Gargita, Senjette Guiseppi, Dulcidella
Baptisto, Paolo Bianchi, Tomaso Pajaralo,
Joe Inca and Guiseppi Wilkelried. Ten
are charged with riot and conspiracy, the
remainder with conspiracy only. The ex-
animation OF those charged with con-
spiracy will be held before Judge Cromer
tomorrow, and the trial Of those charged
with both o~ffenses will be held on Thurs
day. The State will be represented by
District Attorney Merrill, and Messrs.
Bishop & sabin, George W. Baker and
Hon. Thomas Wren, who have been re-
tanned by some of the merchants to assist
in the prosecution, while the prisoners
will be defended by Hillhouse & Cole.
There have been no new Developments,
and all interest in the matter is rapidly
dying out. officer Simpson is still at Fish
Creek, and Alex. Mckay left for Fish
Greek Wells yesterday afternoon, to pro-
tect some OF Lamoureux's teams at that
point. Two teams were loaded at the Will
lows on Saturday, no attempt being made
to modest them.

others, and the other half Of the same mine
bonded to the same parties for sixty days.
The five-stamp mill is at present wrestling

TIE ella Mine.

The San Francisco "stock Report has
this to say Of the ella mine, Reveille Dis
trict: 1.-THE Gila is a mine famous for
having produced very rich ore. 1t is in o
formation in which when ore bodies are
found they are remarkably rich in silver.
The ella was a dividend paying mine for
some time, but worked out the ore bodies
on the upper levels, since which time work
has been prosecuted to open up new levels
aud prospect the mine to a greater depth.
II the news from the mine is but half true,
II looks as II the ella is again to become a

A MINE.
Complimentary Of the Eureka Con.
and It's Management.


Eureka Con. has declared another divi-
dend. The history of the management OF
this mine shines out in pleasant contrast
to that of almost any other that can be
named. 1t has been the most steady and
regular dividend paying mine on the entire
list of mines called in the Stock Boards,
and has paid an amount OF dividends equal
in the aggregate to nearly the highest price
the stock has ever touched. For a long
time the dividends we're SO per share, but
as the ore bodies began to exhaust the
dividends we're reduced to 81, and the work
Of prospecting has been carried on extern
sively and the mine not only made to pay
for it, but to yield a surplus for dividends.
Stockholders will have no cause to grumble
when the old Eureka Con. ceases to pay
dividends for q time.
The above is from the San Francisco
"Stock Report" There is no likelihood
that the Eureka Con. will cease paying
dividends for a long time to come. Indeed
we have reason to believe that the outlook
of the mine is better to-day than for a year
past.
