THE. GOLDEN SILENCE.

What though I sing no other song?
What though | speak no other words
l. silence shame? Is patience wrong?-
At least one song of mine was heard;
One echo from the mountain air,
Ole ocean murmur, glad and free
One sign that nothing grand or fair
In all this world Was lost TO nee.
Iwould not wake the sleeping Tyre;
I would not strain the chords OF thouSht'
The sweetest fruit of all desire
Comes its own way, and comes unsought
Though all the bards of earth were dead,
And all their music passed away,
What Nature wishes should be said
She'll find the rigntful voice to say
Her heart is in the shimneTing leaf,
The drifting cloud, the lonely sky,
And all we know of bliss and grief
She speaks in forms that can not die.
The mountain peaks that shine afar,
The silent stars, the painless sea,
Are living signs OF all We are,
And types of all we hope TO be.

The Ladies' FaVorIte.

Among the many thousands of indies who
have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
aud pronounced it their fayorite remedy, be-
cause so efficient in the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women, are many who are
well and favOrably known in the world of let
tiers, as well as artists musicians, and whole
host of names from the brilliant ranks OF
wealth and fashion. 1t is pTe-eminently the
ladies' Favorite Prescription, its use, while
being far more safe and efficient, exempting
them from those painful, caustic operations,
and the wearing of those mechanical contriv-
anees made like Peter Pindar's razor-seller's
razors-to SELL rather than to cure.

WATCH THE BOXi
This time the warning was not
needed. l had not gone to bed to sleep,
but for the very purpose of watching
the box. Standing as it did, with the
head close to the door. and therefore
close to the box itself, the bed afforded
the very best point from which to keep
an eye on the suspicious freight. Had
my faith in the telegraphic clicking been
less, or had my own sense of a great re-
sponsibility deserted me for a single
moment, / should certainly have
given up the job of watch
ing as foolish; and, in that case, it is
not likely that this narrative would ever
have been written. But l believed in the
thricc-repeated message, and | did not
let drowsiness overcome patience.
Twelve, one, two-how very slowly the
hours seemed to drag themselves! The
low flame of the lamp went out, as the
oil had run dry. What relief it was
to hear the clock strike? At last, some
where about midnight, the storm had
broken. | could see the stars as they
came out, through the window in the
freight-room, which was on a line of
vision with the box. How strangely
still it seemed after the mighty roar of
the storm and the sharp claps of thun-
derl Not a click from the instrument
now. Not sound save the steady tick
ing of the clock. Still lay listening,
watching, with faculties all alert and
my eyes always on the oblong box.
A little past two--perhaps ten min
utes. The silence almost painful in its
profoundness. Nothing but the tick-tick
of the clock, which to my eager ear had

The Union Guard Raj.

A very grand affair was the ball and
supper given last night on Ruby Hill. The
Union Guard could not make q failure Of
such an effort-for it was their pride--a
military ball; and Ed. Trofatter, although
notorious at the business, outdid himself
and astonished the world Of ball-goers who
called at his dining parlors. All in all,
1t must have been an expensive affair,
music, attendants, flowers, fruits, wines,
etc., but we are told that money flowed
into the Guards Golfers more pientifully
than did the people into their hall. Min
ers' Union Hall was we'll filled, however,
with the elite Of this section OF the Base
Range, and as to the toilets of the ladies,
the SENTINEL reporter would hardly dare
say a word, else the parties interested
might declare he could not appreciate the
beauty and elegance OF Partisan
toilets, or the latest New York styles.
The Haunting Of the gaudy uni
forms of the Union Guard and Centen-
malls among the varied hues Of ladies'
paraphernalia created q pleasing sensa-
ton, and made the hall appear all the
gayer. 1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered with pleasure by all interested.

SECRET CANYON.
A short Visit There-What We Saw
and Heard.

n OAhVEt NIsIG AntEC- nat w q n
and Heard.
By favor Of Mr.. VIM. Gulliford, the liv.
cry stable man, a SENTINEL reporter was
enabled to gain the following from resi-.
dents of Secret Canyon:
Captain Foley told US about Judge
Dougherty driving a tunnel through a belt
OF argillaceous shale, to strike at depth the
great ore-body that extends from the
Geddes & Bertrand mine through Austin
hill. II the tunnel is continued, other
bodies Of ore will be struck upon the con-
tact, for it is a fact that where the contact
is found in Prospect Mountain and its
spurs, o~re-bodies are found.
Another tunnel. the Imperial and Hart,
is being driven by Joel Dodge, the father
of our County Clerk, for the same object
to tap a body of rich ore that lies in Aus
tin hill, Immediately ahead of the tunnel.
Mr.. Dodge and his son Ed. have spent a
great deal Of money in the Secret Canyon
Mining District, prospecting for the rich
ore belt that strikes through Secret Can
yon, and which is surely o continuation Of
the Eureka District ore channel.
The Bergman brothers are contemplate
ing driving another tunnel through some
OF the spurs Of Prospect Mountain, from
the west side.
On the east side Of the canyon Pat Dew
lin will soon run a tunnel for the ore chan
mel known to exist all the way from Ruby
Hill to the Page q Corwin.
In the Foley q Hansen tunnel, which is
in some 100 feet, we noticed a small seam
OF ore which is very rich. Mr.. Hansen
had some Of the ore assayed, which went
as high as 81, 800 per ton. 1t is a good,
roomy tunnel, being about 6kx4k feet
is being driven through the great slate
belt to strike the Commodore, Foretop and
Foley mines, and the running upon such
prospect is not to be "sneezed at" in 80
short o distance. There is no doubt that
l50 feet more Of tunne.;ng will develop q
large and rich ore-body in the mines
named.
Doc Hamilton and E. R. Dennison are
trand series in Cave Canyon.
D.. ]. J. Mclaughlin is still running a
gang Of men at his noted mine, the Irish
ambassador.
Daugherty & McCluery have rested from
working the Sarsield and Santa Maria
mines for q few weeks, but will resume in
a short time.
The Alhambra, owned by Messrs. Hill
house and Hamilton, has been worked
some lately, and will receive more than
assessment dues before January.
Josh Anderson and G. @. Falls claim,
the Oswego, has received its share of assess
ment work, and shows we'll enough to en-
courage further working.
George Lamoureux is running q tunnel
to strike the Vanderbilt lode.
Further away to the southwest is the
Menagerie Groupe, the Lion, the Tiger and
Leopard, owned by Pope q Co. They will
up assessment work after the first Of
next month.
Back of Blixen's is the famous Page &
Corwin, the Monroe, and Gulliford's White
mine. They are all good properties, and
will be worked this winter. Parties are
now working the Monroe on lease, and the
Scorpion mine is being worked by Messrs.
Lamoureux & Potter.
A large amount of mining work is sure
to be accomplished in the mines of Secret
Canyon the coming winter, as the outlook
for pay is good.

The running of free trains has become
an important feature OF the campaign.
The trains are furnished by the V. & T.
Railroad Company, and by means Of this
enterprise and liberality true Republicans
are transported all over the State free Of
charge. There is nothing mean about the
management, and if a few hundred Demo-
Gratis are anxious to have q free ride, they
are allowed to get aboard.-[Carson APP
peal.
We understand that these free rides
occur wherever and whenever the Demo-
Gratis have political meetings. and the free
excursions are gotten up for the purpose
of dragging away the people, SO that their
speakers may not be heard.

We are told that Jack Gilmer went off
West on a trip from Salt Lake City. Utah.
a short time ago, and when he came back
he had a very good looking horse. He
could not get a race, however, for the
sporting fraternity we're afraid Of the
stopper. Jack got wrathy, and bet with
the owner Of the best PAGER in that section
that his horse could draw a back-action
and distance the PAGER. Jack overrated
his thoroughbred, and followed around in
the rear.

THE WILLIAMSBURG GROUP.
The Eureka (Nevada) silver Min.
ing Company.

From the London Mining Journal of the 9th.
The Eureka District, Nevada, is to-day
represented in u advertising columns in
the Inauguration Of q company which takes
its title from the district. The Eureka
(Neyada) Silver Mining Company Linn
ited) is formed to work a series Of mines
hitherto developed by private enterprise,
and known as the Williamsburg group. A
shaft has been sunk 100 feet deeper than
any previous workings, and a valuable ore
body cut into. Hosting machinery and
appliances Of the most approved kind will
be erected by the company now in course
OF formation; and in addition TO these
mines there has been acquired the Bald
Eagle series, contiguous to the Dunder-
berg mine Of the Ruby and Dunderberg
Company. Very rich ore has been raised,
and the report Of Captain Richard is OF q
highly satisfactory character. He says
II have always been favorably impressed
with the value OF this ground, and have
no doubt that il will become a valuable
property, providing it is systematically
explored. The country rock surrounding
the ore body in this property is precisely
the same as found in the mines Of Ruby
Hill, and the character of the ore is iden-
teal with that found in the Richmond and
Eureka Consolidated mines. Everything
points to the probability of large ore
bodies existing within the boundaries Of
the Bald Eagle series Of claims, and l have
no hesitation in recommending it as one OF
the best mining prospects in the district"
Captain Richard endorses Mr.. Prideux's
report on the Williamsburg mines. The
capital Of the company is only fI00, 900,
which, after payment for both properties,
leaves an available working capital Of $685.
900. 1t would be difficult to find a more
legitimate mining enterprise, and the for
nation Of the company would appear to be
based on sound commercial principles. 1t
is an important feature that the working
Of these properties is under the control OF
a strong company, whose directors are rep
resentative and practical men. 1t may,
therefore, be confidently expected that the
operations OF this company will largely en-
nance the already worldwide reputation
Of the Eureka (Nevada) District.

Since the races there has been lively
times at the toll house, on the Elko road.
One day q teamster came along from Ruby
Valley with q load OF vegetables on his
wagon. and upon receiving assurance Of
''backing," he proceeded to open the gate
and drive through without paying. An
other day the man employed to collect
toll halted Red" a teamster, and turned
Reds leaders off the grade. Red covered
the collector with a pistol, and was then
allowed to pass through. 1t is about time
there was an understanding in this mat
ter, for IL it runs along on uncertainties,
somebody's life will pay the forfeit, and
that before long.

some Turnips.

Joel Allison yesterday deposited some
vegetables alongside the SENTINEL build
ing that we're too large for any use. They
were turnips from rutabaga seed, and were
raised in Antelope Valley. One weighs II
and the other IS pounds. Mr.. Allison says
on his next trip he will bring up n OF
the largest-some they have to raise with
block-and-tackle.

The savers of Wood.

The Chinese have concluded to stay. A

entirely below . living rate; that they were
now saving four-foot wood twice In two
for 90 per cord.
