A BAD FEAR FOR NEGROES.
q. s. SENATE CHAMBER,

~ Ao1AAN01Ohs OCgs f. 1911.
DEAR GENERAL: Your lstterl re-
ceived. OF course you have NV Letter
before this. MackeJ and his committees
got no encouragement from Hayes an he
told them no change would be made now.
They have all disappeared. I think the
negroes found they did not make much
impression. This is q bad year for them.
Your watch is safe and ready for Won
upon your return. Rawlins wrote me to
drew upon him for. 500, which did.
Berry and Hoffman each sent me 500.
This is all received. em sorry to hear
OF your trouble with Rawlins, and hone
You will get it all fixed up and have no
fuss, as it will do ue oil injury. Our
hope is In. keeping things quiet. They
't,get an Indictment against you until
courts fourth Monday in this month. I
think you had better get away and come
here and thus be out of the State when
the court meets. By etGying there they
might arrest You. hliI stili think I can
keep any thing from being done against
you, Jacobs and :nyself at the next court.
Better be- here, and we can consult. I
have another threatening letter from
Gen. Mcintyre, in which he refers ito
Mentor. Yon shonld tell Mention TO be-
very carefni of what he tells McIntyre.

and says he will rsturn to Charleston ii,

threats, only be Nigh. try &c get Warren
into trouble. 'gotaing new here. as yere
few persons are here. I did mot 90 arrav
as l expected, thinking it better to re-
main here. Better come here. McCor-
mick will give you leavs any time.

IndomitabIe Energy.

EDITOR SENTrsEL-A people possessing
such energy as do the people Of Eureka
can know no such word as fail. Although
burned out sixteen months since, and not
having recoyeredfrom the first great loss,
we find that the third day after the fire,
and before the fire is done burning, there
are twelve houses under way, some OF
which will be fire-proof, and several Others
comfortable buildings. 1t has been pre-
dicted that the burnt district would not
be rebuilt. but it Is silly to entertain such
an idea. The people. knowing we have the
best mines and most extensive district
in the world, are not going to let fire and
floods scare them into a lethargic state.
II any become discouraged, or are not able
to build, they will sell to others, and the
town will be rebuilt in q more substantial
way than ever. And while there is no
property changing hands. on account Of
the dull times, il any one desires to find
out the price OF lots ON Main street from
Gold to Robbins street, q half Q mile, let
them inquire the price. and they will find
out as to the value set OIL them. R.

A PROMISING SECTION.
The Mining Outlook of Cherry
Creek and SchellbOurne.

The News prints the following mining
intelligence from the eastern portion of
White Pine county:
J. W. Haynes, Superintendent Of the
Woodstock and Ell Captain Mining Com
panies at Queen Springs, was in town Sat-
urday. Mr.. Haynes reports prospects in
the FL Captain as being exceedingly favor
able. The tunnel now being run will soon
cut the ledge at q depth of 300 feet. The
company will probably erect a mill during
the coming fall. No work is being done at
present on the Woodstock mine, but a
force Of men will in all probability be put
to work in the course OF q few weeks. The
company is a solid one, and they have a
good property.
By private letter from Cherry Creek, we
learn that what appears to be q very rich
strike, has recently been made in the Star
mine in that district. Our informant
states that the ore from the new find works
over 500 per ton, and an unusually large
amour Of bullion is being shipped by the
company. This will be good news for the
holders Of Star stock in this vicinity. We
can vouch for the truth of the report.
The Exchange mine in Cherry Greek
District, in which Mr.. Haynes is largely
interested, will undoubtedly be sold to
New York parties, who have il bonded,
within the next thirty days.

We learn that an important strike was
made in the Trench mine in this district
last Monday. A new ore body was struck
in the bottom Of the shaft, which may
prove to be extensive.
The mining reports that come to us from
the several districts in the eastern section
Of the county are most cheering. In
Cherry Greek District and the Schell

daily being made.
A gentleman just in from Eureka in.
forms us that Mrs. Jackson, mine hostess
Of the Jackson House, is the heroine of

than any of those connected with the fire
department.

pathy to our people in their sore trial
"Again comes the sad intelligence Of the
devastation of Eureka by fire. Almost
the identical part of the town which was
destroyed by fire a year ago was again
consumed Tuesday morning. We sincerely
sympathize with the sufferers in their loss.
1t is enough to cause the stoutest heart to
grow weak and the bravest lips to grow
dumb when one misfortune follows so close
upon another, but we believe that those
who have twice suffered so severely will,
when the first shock is passed. again pre-
sent a bold front to the world and CON-
mence the battle of life anew"

A NEW BONANZA.
Important Development I'm the Al
bfOn Mime.

DhOAh MAMes
For some days there have been rumors
in circulation Of an important develop
ment in the Albion mine. The fire and
the rush and confusion which succeeded 1t
prevented us from going into an investiga-
ton Of the facts. We are now In position
to inform the readers Of the SENTINEL Of
n of the most valuable discoveries ever
made in Eureka district.
The ore was first encountered on the
9Th inst, but owing to the absence Of Mr..
Potts the whole matter was kept quiet.
The strike was made on the main level Of
the mine. There is no question regarding
its great value. The body has been pene-
trated between 25 and 80 feet. An up
raise of Is feet has also been made. The
bonanza is perfect in all directions, and
seems to be not only well defined but to
possess remarkable strength. Its extent
is not yet determined beyond the dimen-
sions given above. These are ample to
show that it is important and valuable.
The ore is the richest ever found in Ruby
Hill.
The find is demonstrated to be ON Albion
ground about which there is no dispute
between that Company and the Richmond.
Civil Engineer Thos. ]. Read was up q
few days since to give the Albion boys the
line established by the injunction Of
the District Court. He found them
near it at one point, but the ore
was further back and making off to the
westward. 1t has since been followed in
an opposite direction from the Richmond,
and the main body as it stands to-day is
approximately so feet from the disputed
line.
The entire community will be glad to
learn Of this development. 1t will tend to
inspire our people with confidence in their
misfortunes.
Albion stock has already felt the effects
OF the strike. 1t has advanced in three or
four days from IS cents a share to $1.10,
closing at the latter figure on the street
last evening.

MIR. proberr,. Generositv.

Mr.. Probert, Of the Richmond, has al
ways been one of our most public spirited
citizens. Indeed, the Richmond manage
ment generally has never faltered in the
hour of distress. The company and its
managers have won the lasting gratitude
OF our people for their liberality. Mr..
Probert has written a letter from San
Francisco saying to Mr.. Richard to SUBJ
scribe 81 900 or more for the benefit of the
sufferers If needed. This is princely gen.
erosity on the part Of Mr.. Probert, and
will be remembered to his credit by q sore
ly afflicted people.

Under a law Of the last Legislature it
made the duty Of the Justice Of the Peace
to summon q jury OF three fr~eeholders

The theory Of the law is to lessen incendia-

into the origin Of our late great confiagra-

The little town Of Ward, in White Pine

columns, it has been determined by our
help. The SENTINEL, on behalf Of Eureka,
returns thanks to Mr.. Hip and the citi-
zens Of Ward for their kind and generous
offer.
