MINERS UNION LIBRARY.
An Example h Ruby Hill Union
should Follow.

Last winter some Of the members of the
Ruby Hill Miners Union agitated the
question Of opening a library on the Hill,
stimulated thereto doubtless by the action
Of the Virginia Union. The matter was
discussed a short time and dropped. Not
so, however, with the Virginia Union, and
the Footlight says the library in Virginia
City has grown to be one of the most bene-
fetal and truly praiseworthy institutions
there. Starting but a few months ago,
comparatively, it has has by rapid strides
gained in favor and number of volumes,
until now it has a list of over -four thous-
and standard works of fiction, biography,
history, travel, etc. The Union does not
confine the library membership to the
members of the Union alone, but the
benefits and privileges of the library and
reading room are open to all of our citi-
zens, both ladies and gentlemen. The
charges for membership have been placed
at the mere nominal sum Of one dollar
per month, and the benefits to the mem
bers should certainly swell the roll of
membership up to good round figure. The
library is kept open until 10 o'clock at
night, and an evening in the cosy reading
ROOM, with the work of a f~avorite author in
hand, cannot but have its charms for. all its
intelligent citizens. The shelving for a Ii
brary, to be opened in the hall on the Hill
would cost but little, and a canvass of the
two towns would result in securing a
large number of books. There is not a
man in either Eureka or Ruby Hill who
would not contribute a work of some kind,
and in this way an excellent library could
soon be raised. Who will take the initia-
tory stem

The Queen of All.

Honor the dear old mother. Time has
scattered the snowy flakes on her brow,
plowed deep burrows on her cheeks, but is
she not sweet and beautiful now? The lips
are thin and shrunken, but those are the
lips which have kissed many a hot tear
from the childish cheeks, and they are the
sweetest lips in all the world. The eye is
dim, yet it glows with the soft radiance of
holy love which can never fade. All, yet,
she is a dear old mother. The sands OF
life are nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
she will go further and reach down lower
for you than any other upon earth. You
cannot walk into a midnight where she can
not see you; you cannot enter a prison
whose bars will keep her out; you never
mount a scafiold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the world shall
despise and forsake you, when it leaves you
by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear
old mother will gather you in her feeble
arms, and carry you home and tell you OF
all your virtues until you almost forget
that your soul is distigured by vice. Love
her tenderly and cheer her declining years
with holy devotion.

Since the commencement Of the snow
storm the street crossings in Eureka have
been in a miserable condition, and almost
impossible for ladies. Yesterday, Messrs.
Clute, Dunkel, Farmer & Lesser, r.. Sad
Ter & Co., Frank Doutrick and others COM
bined, and caused a crossing of Stag to be
made across Main at Clark street, and Mr..
Jackson improved that leading from his
house to Jack Perry's corner. There is
no reason why their example should not be
followed by others. The cost of hauling
the Stag amounts to but little, and certainly
would be appreciated by the public. Prop
erly, the Commissioners should attend to
this, but they are in an economical mood
just now, and are striving to save every
dollar, in order to avert the issuance Of
scrip, which, it is predicted, must be done
inside of 80 days. Messrs. Clute and o.
Dunkel have also built a substantial side
walk on Clark street, alongside Of Mr..
Dunkel's store, which proves a convenience
to pedestrians.

The Foreman OF the jackson Mine
Instantly Killed.

Instantly Killed.
An accident occurred at the Jackson
mine yesterday morning, by which the
foreman. Stillman S. Robinson lost his
life, and Owen Owens was slightly injur-
ed. Mr.. Robinson, it appears, had gme to
the bottom Of the new shaft to examine the
workings, when a piece OF crlbbing 3x12,
and four feet long, fell from the surface.
The men heard it coming, but thinking it
was the bucket descending, paid no atten-
ton to it. Owen Owens was standing on a
'table" or elevation, just above the others,
and received a glancing blow on the side.
1t struck Mr.. Robinson on the right tenn
pie, causing instant death. The accident
was a singular and almost unaccountable
one. A canvass tent had been built over
the mouth of the shaft after the commence
ment Of the snow storm, and the piece of
cribbing had been placed over an opening
to keep out the wind, with one end resting
against the boards covering the shaft. One
of the boards becoming displaced it fell
through the opening into the shaft. At
the Coroner's inquest All experiment was

aperture, but it lodged on the ground I'M
derneath, just on the edge Of the compart-
ment. A verdict that the deceased met
with an accidental death was rendered.
There are few men in Eastern Nevada
who were better known or more universally
liked than Jack Robinson, as he was
Familiarity called. He passed, though,
all the vicissitudes incidental to a life ON
the coast, and witnessed the rise and fall
OF many a mining camp. He was noted
as an extremely careful man, n frequent
ly urged the men under his charge to be
prudent and to take no unnecessary risks.
1t is said hat when work was commenced
on the new shaft of the Jackson, he in
formed the workmen that he was deter
mined to sink it without the loss of a sin
gle life, and gave warning that if any Of
them allowed anything to fall into the
shaft, he would be discharged, whether
any harm resulted or not. Yet, with all
his precautions, he was the first victim.
Mr.. Robinson was a native of Belfast,
Maine, and about 4S years Of age. A tele-
gram was sent to his sister, who resides
there, apprising her Of his death, and it is
possible that instructions may be received
this morning to send the body East. The fu-
neral services, which will take place under
the auspices OF the Masonic fraternity, will
be held in odd Fellows Hall at l o'clock
this afternoon.

Another DnstardIy Attempt.

Mention was made the other day Of the
attempts Of some scoundrels to ditch the
trains on the Ruby Hill road. On Tuesday
afternoon y gentleman doing business in
Eureka. found a piece of iron closely
wedged against the track. and which would
inevitably have thrown off the engine had
II not been discovered. After considerable
labor be removed the iron and brought it
to the SENTINEL Office. These distractions
are invariably placed at such points as
would hide them from the observation OF
the engineer until too close to stop the
train. and where the engine would be over
turned should it leave the track. Measures
have been adopted for the detection of the
parties, and should they be caught such an
example will be made Of them as will deter
others from such acts In the future.

In the case Of Mau vs.. McNaughten,
which had occupied the attention of the
District Court for several days, the plaintiff
was yesterday non-suited. The contest
grew out Of an application for a U. S. pa
tent to the Williams mine, Mr.. McNaugh-
ten representing that Company. The
Andy Handy was covered by the survey
and Mr.. Mau protested, which made him
the plaintiff in the action. The testimony
Of the plaintiff had been submitted when
defendants counsel moved for a non-suit
on the ground that the evidence adduced
did not show a valid claim in the plaintiff
to the Ian in controversy. None OF the
witnesses for the Williams side were placed
upon the stand. After hearing the argu-
ments Of counsel for the respective parties
Judge Rives held that the motion was we'll
taken and dismissed the suit. There is
some talk that the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Wren appeared for
the plaintiff and Messrs. Hilihouse 4 Cole
for the defense.

The Ruby consolidated.

The London Mining Journal states that
the effect that an important improvement
has taken place in the Ell Dorado mine. 1t
is again stated in the report made by Capt.
Richard, Of the Richmond, for the COM
pany, that he is of the opinion that a cross
cut from the 400-foot level would intersect
the Home ticket lode pnder the great
course Of ore seen above, anG which would
be intersected at upwards of 100 fathoms
deeper than where ore has been worked
down to, and in a driyage of $50 feet. The
importance Of this cross-cut can be hardly
over-estimated, as the Home Ticket vein is
supposed to be the hanging wall of the
great Dunderberg, and the opinion is that
the richest part Of the lode has been left
standing in all the levels.

recommending that the salary of the jani-
