Petriaed Woman.

On Thursday last, SAYS the Carson APP
peal, Alonzo Zaletto, an Italian fisherman.
discovered a petrifed woman at Cascade
Lake. He was going to fish at the time,
and when pushing off his boat struck his
oar against something which attracted his
attention. He investigated the matter,
and found a petrifed hand protruding
from the sand and pebbles on the beach.
In a short time be had unearthed a woman
in a complete state Of petrifaction. 1t
was small in size, brown in color and
scrawny and emaciated. The petrifaction
had a hideous appearance, and the body
originally must have belonged to a shriv-
elled sickly woman. The left breast was
well developed, but the arms and legs were
not much larger than the bones would have
been, and the fingers of the right hand
were goe. The petrifaction weighed nearly
two hundred pounds, and a more ~unsightIy
object could not well be imagined. 1t was
brought down to Lake Bigler in the after
noon, and Mr.. l.. j. Wilson, of San Fran
cisco, has offered 500 for it, as he wished
to present it to the Academy of Science.
In all probability the body is that of an
Indian woman There is a tradition that
years ago the Indians had a battle st Casu
cade Lake, in which the squaws joined,
and the dead we're buried ON the shore of
the lake. Under certain conditions the
human cadaver 'petrifies; more especially
in water. The finder wants $3.50 for the
prize, and it is probable that the sum will
be paid by the Academy, and the curiosity
sent to San Francisco.

Coal OH, Pitch Pine and Matches
A Dangerous Combination.

SHhkefOu4
Early last evening our people we're agar
startled by the fire alarm from the Res
cues house. An unfamiliar hand evil
IDENTIFY had hold of the bell-rope at first,
and consequently a quick alarm was moi
made until the fire boys arrived at the
house and run the hose carts out upon the
street. The fremen and citizens rushed
towards Mob Hill, where it was said that
Mr.. Emerick's house was on fire. Mr..
limerick is of the firm Of Brown, Tassel &
Co.. and his family residence is next door
south of the Charley Fiske house, now the
property Of Mr.. Cauzeaux. The trucks
had not advanced far up the hill before
word came down that the fire was out.
Upon going to the scene Of the fire, BUR
reporter learned that some little boys
playing in the rear OF Mrs. Baily's. dis
covered a blaze flash mp quickly along the
north wall Of Mr.. Emerick's dwelling.
They Immediately gave the alarm. and one
ran to the Rescue hose house. Mrs. Bene-
dict, who was stopping in Mr.. Cazeaux's
house at the time, rushed out Of the south
door, and seeing tina. the fire was in its
incipiency, dashed a few buckets of water
upon the flame and drowned it out. An
examination of the premises showed that
there was intent to burn the property.
The wall of the back part Of the house
was saturated with coal oil for ten or twelve
feet square, and although the fire had but
a moments start, it ciiarred a large por-
tion OF the boards thus prepared. Moth
ing but the GOODNESS and prompt action OF
Mrs. Benedict could have saved the house,
and those adjoining it must have gone
with 1t. The verdict Of all present last
evening was, that it was the boldest at
tempt at incendiarism ever known in Eu-
reka. No one was seen to leave the yard or
pass between the houses, from the hour
when darkness set in up to the time the
alarm was given. 1t may seem strange
that any one would attempt to fire a build
ing in that portion Of town on such a still
night, and at such or hour, but it would
hardly do for a person contemplating such
a deed to try it at a later hour, as, after the
general business of the town is over, q travel
er in that locality would be spotted" right
away, either in going or coming. Mr..
limerick is at a loss to accoun for such
action, as he didn't know that he had an
enemy, and thinks after his scorchiDg by
the big confiagration that there should be
a little mercy shown a sufferer.
The cause Of this attempt at incendiar-
ism should be thoroughly investigated,
and il the guilty parties can be discovered,
they should be punished to the fullest ex-
tent OF the law. Cases of incendiarism are
becoming quite too ommon in tits com
munity, and every effort should be made
10 put a stop to them. In some COM
munities, hemp has been known to have
had a good effect for the prevention Of
fires.

A SENTINEL reporter chatted a moment
yesterday with a gentleman who started
two months ago from Modoc county, Cali
fornia. He travels with a camp outfit;
wagons transport his family and house
hold goods, while berders drive along his
band II horses and cattle. His objective
point Is Southwestern Colorado or North
western Arizona. and he goes to settle per-
manently. Feed is short in the Modoc
country. and other ranges is an absolute
necessity for one in the stock raising busi-
ness. The route OF his travel is up Hun
ter creek. down Pinto, past Dan Highs.
on to the head Of Duckwater, thence down
the Muddy. and thence up the Little Colo

The Leadville mines appear to be doing
pretty we'll this year, even as compared
with the magnificent output last year. Tic
Leadville Herald says that the yield for
the year 1879 was $40. 500 900, while for
the first six months Of 1880 it was S7.Sl3.-
500. The output for July was 81 .054, 439.
and for August 81. 296, $50. The gross pro-
duct for the first eight months of his year
is therefore $40, l65, 157. These figures are
u surprise to many. 1t was thought, as
some OF the Leadville dividends had drop
ped off. the bullion deposits we're being
exhausted. From the above 1t appears
that the returns for 1880 will be 40 per
cent. larger han in 1879.

Catch.

The Reno Journal has the following:
Here is q curious bet we heard made yes
terday A bet B ten dollars that he could
name fifteen States that would go for Gar
field. and bets $50 that Garfield would
carry a majority Of the balance. A is sure
OF winning forty dollars. But it is one OF
the neatest little gambling catches that we
ever heard Of. We leave it to the reader
to figure ont as q sort OF riddle. The
trick is in first naming fifteen Democratic
States on which the maker Of the bet loses
ten dollars. The second proposition he is
sure to win, because the States left I'M
named are surely Republican. He loses
ten dollars and wins fifty.

First Days Race-rhe Resu1t-Meu
and Horses, aud How They are
Getting Along.
Mr.. J. W. Simpson, Of Duckwater, came
into Eureka yesterday morning. He says
that he took q run over, on Monday, TO see
what kind Of q start they were making in
the sports advertised to come of at Bull
Creek. The attendance was larger than
was expected, but Mr.. Converse was ex-
erting himself to make all hands comfort
able. Everyone there could get plenty to
cat and drink, and il they had no downy
couches wherein to repose, it would be no
great change from what they were used to,
and the camping-out style would hurt none
Of them. About q dozen horses were on
the ground and entered for the races.
They looked in splendid condition, and
the number which have been daily exer-
cised there for q week or more were, in
Mr.. Simpsons opinion, likely to prove the
~favorites after the result of Mondays race.
The first and only dash called for on the
10th instant was that OF one. quarter of a
mile, n the entries were Ellison's Sell
kirk, Alex. McCullough's Frank, and a
fine looking animal which was announced
simply as the Mormon horse Tom Benton.
The bait took, and everybody swallowed
the Mormon biped as first choice. The
result was that George Ellison made an
other cleanup took the $l25, first money,
and bought pools as long as they were to
be had. The Mormon got the second purse
($75), and Frank followed along to take
the third money (50). Mr.. Simpson thinks
the races. all through, will prove far more
interesting thar any ever held in Eastern
Nevada. He further says that the repre-
sentation from every section east, and
from Utah also, appeared to have plenty Of
money to s'back their talk" Yesterday
was the big day, and we can not expect to
know the result until tomorrow evening.

The usual telegram from the mines al
Eureka, Nevada, states that the weeks run
was SOS 900, from LOO tons Of ore. Dur.
ing the week the refinery produced dore
bars to the value Of S45. 900. The mana
ger Aug. III writes that the 600 north,
from No. IA chute. is not looking quite 30
well as it has been, but is still in good
looking ground for ore. The 800 north
west, on assure, has been advanced Is IT,;
the assure is regular and well defined, and
the ground looks very favorable for ore.
Taking the chambers as q whole, there is o
marked improvement since last week.
They have had some trouble with the ma
chinery at the works; the blowers have
been out of order, which has caused great
delay in the smelling operations. The
Baker blower is again in place, and he
hopes they will have no further drawback.

In the report, which is considered one Of
the best received from the mines, the man.
ager states that the mine never looked bet
ter at any time of its working. The re-
turns Of ore smelted for the week, and the
quantity extracted, are, it is said, no cri-
terra OF the position of the mine, as the
same is being held in reserve for the start
ing of the c%ompany's furnaces. The
