The following brief telegram is published
in the San Francisco papers:
BROOKLYN, N. Y, May 24.-Michael Nc
Closkey, a well known hotel proprietor,
committed suicide this afternoon at his
residence, II Fourth avenue, by blowing
his brains out with a revolver. McCloskey
came to Brooklyn a few years ago with a
fortune he had made in California.
Mike McCloskey was widely known all
over the Pacific Coast. He was a promi-
nent saloon keeper in Nevada from 1862 to
about 1875. He had carried on business in
Virginia City, Gold Hill, Treasure City and
Phoebe. he wound up at Phoebe with some
thing like $40, 900 in hard cash, and quit
the State, locating in Brooklyn, New York,
where he opened one Of the most magnif-
cent saloons in the East. The Brooklyn
saloon and fixtures, without the building,
which he leased, Is said to have cost over
$50, 900. 1t was too high.toned to thrive
in Beecher's diocese, and after a year or SO,
the proprietor was compelled to give it up.
He next opened q seaside watering place
and hotel at Coney Island, in which venture
he was again unsuccessful. In the mean
time McCloskey had married an accom-
plished young lady Of Brooklyn. He was
subject to periodical sprees, and we have
no doubt that it was during one of these
that he committed the rash act Of self
destruction.
Mike McCloskey was more than an ordi-
nary man in his peculiar sphere. He had
a will and an energy that subordinated all
means to an end. His scruples were not
many. Yet he had kind impulses for those
he numbered among his friends. The SEN
TrNEL is sorry to learn Of his death.

0GH0RO -
From Q private letter, says the Austin
Heveille. we learn the following particu-
lars OF q shooting scrape which occurred at
belmont on Saturday last. Doc. Garvin
and Hagan had some rather hot words at
the brewery. and Johnny MoGahan. who
was on . spree, and happened to be there
a. the time, interferred. and Doc. pushed
nim away rather roughly. Hagan and
Doc. Then went across to o store, and Nc
Gahan followed and shot at Doc. as he sat
IN the back part Of the store, but Doc. drew
MS pistol almost as quick as McGahan. and
snot him t~wice-one shot taking effect in
sne nip and the other In the shoulder, both
mesh wounds. Doc. was not struck ct all.
It Is a wonder they were not both killed,
Is they were not more than eight feet apart
when the shooting commenced. Justice
Ball was at Grantsville, and Doc. was taken
70 Tybo to be examined, as he did not want
to go to Jail. Witnesses were to be sub
p@naed, and on Tuesday we're 10 go over
TO Typo. 1t Is the general opinion that
Doc. viii be acquitted, but as he drew q
pistol On Hagan before McGahan inter-
Tered, he may have some trouble on that
score.

There are a great many ~offenses commit
ted against good manners, says an exchange,
which people are hardly aware Of at the
time. 1t is not polite. for instance, to tease
a person to do what he has once declined,
and it is equally impolite to refuse a re-
quest or invitation to be urged, and accept
afterwards. Comply at once. II your
friend be sincere, he will be gratified il
not, he will be punished, as he deserves to
be. 1t is not polite, when asked what part
Of q dish you will have. to answer, "any
part, it is quite indifferent to me-" 1t is
hard enough to care for friends without
choosing for them. 1t is not polite to en-
terrain visitors with family or individual
histories, and the events OF o household.
1t is not polite for married ladies to talk
in the presence Of gentlemen Of the diff
Guilty in procuring domestics, and how
good-for-nothing they are when procured.
1t is not polite to put food upon the plate
Of your guest without asking his leave, nor
to press him to eat more than he wants.

Says the Virginia Chronicle Of the 26th I:
On the $500 level Of the Union Con-, be-
tween winze No. l and the Sierra Nevada
incline, narrow streaks Of rich ore have
been cut. While there is not enough of
assays run up I o $50 or $50, and the stresks
indicate that the ledge may lead 10 yet
richer ground, where no ore was expected
when the drift was started. The streaks
run together further on. and form q
vein which will pay for working.

spring valley District Reorganized.

The great fire Of April, 1879, destroyed
the records of Spring Valley Mining Dis
trict, since which time no action has been
taken in the matter until yesterday. Pur-
suant to a call published in the SENTINEL,
the miners Of the district met at the cabin
of E. H. Rose, who has been identified with
the mines Of Spring Valley District since
1870.
The name Of the district was changed,
aud will hereafter be known as Prospect
Mountain District, the mine owners deem
ing it advisable to do SO. Mr.. E.. j. But
Ter was elected Recorder, and all parties
owning mines in this district are requested
to call upon him, at his Office in Eureka,
and make a new record Of their claims, as
the meeting yesterday, by vote, makes it
incumbent upon them to do so. Mr.. But
tiers office is on Clark street, near Main.
During the summer q lumber Of the
mines of Prospect Mountain District will
be worked, as many Of the old locators are
now upon their mines engaged in taking
ont ore.
