e III. Hereford.

A great many people all over Nevada,
and especially in White Pine and Lincoln,
will remember Ben. He is now located at
Tucson, Arizona, where he is engaged in
the practice of law. He celebrated his 46th
birthday, one day last week, on which occa-
sion the local paper has this to say of him:
about four years ago Mr.. Hereford came
to Tucson, and has made his home with us
since that time. Colonel Zabriskie and Mr..
Hereford formed a ~copartnership last year,
and the firm are now recognized as second
to none in Arizona. There are some who
may not understand the criterion Of Mr..
Hereford's success. We have heard many
of his clients remark that pnnctuality and
promptness were his characteristics, and
that he never failed to meet an engage
ment. Mr.. Hereford is a brother of Hon.
Frank Hereford, United States Senator
from West Virginia, and his fealty to the po-
litical faith of jefferson and Jackson cannot
be questioned"

CRIMINALS WANTED.
A Couple of Jafl-birds that Flew
from Justice.

In the Sherif7s Office Of Storey county,
says the Chronicle, there is posted a notice
signed by George A. Draper, Sheriff Of Lar
annie county, Wyoming, offering $500 re-
ward for the arrest of Norman McCuaig.
1t is alleged that McCuaig murdered ]. B.
Jackson and son, on Upper Horse Greek,
80 miles west of Cheyenne, March 20, 1877.
McCuaig is described as six feet high, stoop
shouldered, sandy complexion, high cheek
bones, about 33 years of age, not much Of
a talker, Scotch in appearance, and about
1870 pounds in weight.
There is also a notice from T. M. Yancy,
Sheriff of Tuolumne county, California,
asking for the arrest of Charles Landrum
or Landum-known among stage men as
Sagebrush Charley, he being a stage driver
and will likely be found by inquiring Of
stage proprietors--he is about five feet ten
inches, black eyes, chin whiskers-a and gen.
orally wears a long black or dark coat, and
a SLOUGH hat, turned down. He is wanted
for robbery.

CARSON CORRESPONDENCE.
republican Politics at the Capital.

CARSON CRY, April rs, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL-The members Of the
Blaine Club, with a few struggling Demo-
Gratis and Grant fanciers, were directed to
Moore & Parker's Hall last night by street
fires and music. When all were inside the
hall business began, after a short twaddle
Of the President of the Club. by reading
the minutes of the last meeting. Then q
resolution was passed pledging members to
increase their earnest efforts to secure the
nomination Of James G. Blaine, and
further pledging the Club to support the
nominee Of the Chicago Convention. Then
a committee Of five was appointed to call
upon the County Central Committee, and
to ask that Committee to rescind the clause
in the call for a primary meeting which
prohibits the vote Of the Independents.
1t is said that three of these five commit
tee men are for Grant and two are for
Blaine as to first choice. The committee
is instructed that should it fail to have the
clause rescinded, then to call a mass meet
ing to set q day for primary meetings, and
to place in the field a ticket of their own
selection. The County Central Committee,
or at least q majority, is,said to be COM
posed of very active Grant men. Then a
committee Of three was appointed to re-
port to the meeting the names of six per-
soDs to be voted for as delegates to the
Austin Convention. This committee, after
an absence of a few moments, reported
the names Of six persons, three Of whom
are said to prefer Grant first and three are
for Blaine first. However, all will, if
elected, be under pledge to support Blaine
in the Convention. Some claim q sly
quiet victory for the Grant men in the
selection Of one of the six, d. H. Brown,
ex-State Senator. When the entire six
names were presented to the Club for cleo
ton, no member or any one else stirred or
offered to vote. 1t was then moved that
the sixl be offered separately to the Club.
No one was allowed to vote except mem
bers of the Club. Five were elected with
out opposition. Though Mr.. Brown, who
had previously stated in the meeting that
he was a Grant man, but would serve and
obey instructions if elected, was only
elected by two votes, fifteen voting in favor
and thirteen against. Now, the question
is, how many first-class Grant men were
among the fifteen OF the entire twenty
eight. 1t is difficult for outsiders to guess
the result of the Grant-Blaine battle
here, and it is a question whether
it is any more easy for insiders. A
meeting will probably be called for to-
morrow night, in which case both prima-
ries are likely to take place on the same
day, Tuesday, the 9th instant. Even in
these degenerate times it is surprising to
witness the slavish obedience of some Car
son Republicans. A few weeks prior to this
date | do not believe that there had been
or could have been made a favorable ex-
preston for Grant as the Chicago nominee.
Washington City letters from Nevada rep
resentatives, who have for many late years
been quiet advocates of Capitalization, it
is rumored, commanded this obedience.

MINING RULINGS.
Lat Instructions from the Com.
missioner of the Land Ofice.

Late Instructions from the Conn
missioner of h Land OHice.
A Washington correspondent Of the Salt
Lake Tribune, writing to that paper, says:
The Commissioner Of the General Land
Office, in reply to a letter from Park City,
Utah, says he knows Of no law which ex-
empts unpatented ming property from exc
%cution, and that the United States mining
law does not prohibit the same party from
holding more than one claim On the same
lode.
The Land Commissioner says, in reply
to a letter from Idaho, that a party is net
authorized to go within the claim and pos
session OF another party and discover q
ledge on which he may base a location.
Hence his location would be void. and SO
far as this Office is concerned, the location
of a third party upon a ledge outside the
first location but within the second, would
probably be recognized as legal. The mat
ter, however, would doubtless be adjudi-
Gated in the courts, where decision in this
office would only be called upon TO execute
in the event Of application for a patent.
iocatOr recoru shouiu coh-
form to the actual location on the ground,
and the only proper method to correct a
mistake in this matter would be to make a
new record.
Third-It cannot properly be stated just
how far a locator may deviate from the
plain requirements of section 1924 Of
United States Revised Statutes in making
his location and yet save his claim. Strict
compliance with the law is the only secur-
| ity OF a locator.

The Coal arkef

The low price at which the Eureka Con-
solidated coal contract was taken. was the
subject Of general comment yesterday
among basiness men. AS already stated in
these columns, the reduction was the re-
suit of an over supply Of coal in the hills.
This was abundantly proven by the sharp
competition for the contract. All classes
Of bidders marked the figures down to the
lowest possible notch. The SENTINEL does
not look to see the present low rate rule for
any great length of time-possibly not to
exceed sixty or ninety days. The surplus
will have been exhausted within that time,
and then a reaction and marked advance is
most likely to occur In the meantime
many persons will be driven out of the
coal manufacturing business, and instead
Of an over supply in the future, there is
more apt to be a scarcity; and when this
follows, better figures cannot fail to obtain.
All in all, the present reduction does not
promise to be permanently injurious to the
business community.

PIOCHE PICKINGS.
Record of a Week as Recorded
in the Record.

On Monday last Phoebe was considerably
exercised by a report circulated that the
Raymond and Meadow Valley mines had
been consolidated, and that a telegram had
been received here to that effect, and that a
Superintendent naming him } had been
appointed. On tracing this rumor from
where it emanated, we found out the fol-
lowing, viz: That o merchant in Phoebe
had been in communication with a gentle
man in San Francisco, in reference to pur-
chasing a large number of shares Of Ray
mond q Ely stock; that said San Francisco
| party had written him not to do so. or, if
he had done so, to ge. rid of them, as there
was no doubt but what a consolidation
would be effected betwixt the Raymond &
Ely and Meadow Valley, and that the Ray
mond stockholders would be left out in the
cold that negotiations had been pending,
and were about completed, for the consoli-
dalton. This is all, and nothing more.
The Republican primary election Tues
day, for the election for delegates to the
County Convention, was a very quiet affair
and no person appeared to take any inter-
est in it. There we're but few votes cast,
and the following delegates chosen: Thomp-
son Campbell, d. G. Clark, j. Behr, S.
Hallowell, A. A. Young, G. Raymond,
Chas. Stein, G. H. Fish, M. Fuller, ]. Pou-
jade, j. B. Newman, James Nesbitt, ]. NJ.
Hanford, S. s. Stoddard and F. A. Buck.
With the exception Of one, the above dele
gates are Blaine men.
Piochers have thought very little about
the mortgage placed upon the Raymond &
Ely property nearly two weeks ago, but
they have all arrived at the same conclu-
sion-that it is a ''big steal' on the part Of
some person. There is something very
rotten, and it is not in Denmark, either.
The stockholders ought to come together
and nave an investigation.

that efforts are being made to effect a con
solidation of the Raymond q Ely, Meadow
Valley and Day Mining Companies.
On Tuesday the Raymond and Ely mill
was closed down, in obedience to orders
from San Francisco. How long it will be
closed, or for what reason, we are unable
to learn.

The LeadvilIe and Gunnison
Erauda.

A Colorado correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune tells how the Eastern people are
roped in by the sharpers OF the Centennial
| State. II the said scribe is to be believed,
lying has been reduced to a fine art all
through Leadville and the Gunnison re-
gions. He thus dishes up the situation:
The tide OF immigration is setting to-
wards the Gunnison country. Thousands
! are fiocking from the East, all expecting
to coin silver and gold from every rock that
happens to be on the surface. If one
| tenth part of the silver and gold is discov-
cred hat prospectors expect to find, gold
| will not be worth fifty cents on the dollar,
and silver will be worthless.
The fact is, there is no such quantity Of
gold and silver in the Gunnison section as
| reported. 1t may be sin the mind of the
prospectors and pilgrims" but does not
exist elsewhere. Thousands OF these pill
grims'' will ride a burro or broncho into
| the Gunnison, and walk back. Thousands
| will ride here from the East in palace cars,
and count the ties on the railroad going
back home in the fall.
The great bonanza is just ahead. One
thing is certain II Congress does not set
tie the Ute question, the miners will have
| all they want to do in settling this ques-
ton, without prospecting for gold and sill
yer. Many pilgrims" not being accli-
mated, are already :" turning up their toes
to the daisies" and thousands more will
follow before the summer is through.
The fact is, the "tenderfoot" exodus is
the most insane that ever afflicted the East
or any other people. But come they will,
and come they may.
This is a country Of exaggeration and
simon-pure lies. The thinness of the at
mosphere is supposed to cause this state Of
morality. Nine-tenths Of all the experts
sent here to report on mines fall victims to
the great altitude Of the country, and
"blunder" in the expert. The thin, dry
air influences" the report, and he sees
" millions in sight" when the mine is ex-
hausted. The Eastern capitalist believes
the expert and invests his money, gets Bit
ten, and then, to get even, stocks his mine
at $40, DOC, 900, and bites somebody else.
And so it goes.
This is essentially a country of greatness.
Here are the biggest mountains, the great
est bonanzas, the most extensive specula-
ton, aud the most enormous falsehoods
that ever escaped the lips Of man. Down
right lying has become a fine art and a pro-
~fession. All the papers published in the
mining camp lie from the word go, and do
not stop at the end of the race, but keep
right on so long as the editor has strength
to WELD his lying pen; and when he ''kicks
the bucket" he has an assistant editor
trained to fall in and keep up the race Of
lying. But then the editor is not respon-
sible; for, if his paper does not lie about
the camp and get imaginative, his patrons
will desert him in a body. To the average
Colorado editor this stares him in the face:
"Lie or die"
