Democratic Pledges.

There is an attempt INDUCED in to make
capital for HANCOCK out OF his letter re.
lating to Southern claims. OF course such
promises, under the circumstances that he
made them, amount to nothing, as we
have before claimed HANCOCK is the
candidate of the Democratic party, and
as such, if elected President, would be
compelled to act with that party, and
sustain its action. That party is con-
trolled by the South by men who favor
Southern claims, and IL Is nonsense 10
amounts, would not be presented to Con-
gress, if the Democrats have full power
and it is equally nonsense to suppose that
Congress would not pass laws in favor
of such claims, and greater nonsense to
suppose that HANCOCK, as President
would veto bills thus passed by the
party that elected him, and upon
wdC2e support he depen-s for aid in the
running Of his administration. The
promise OF HANCOCK while candidate
is certainly no better tnan were the
promises Of POLK in 1874, PIERCE in
1852 and BUCHANAN In 1856. No one
Will pretend that HANCOCK would be any
more faithful to his campaign pledges
than were these men. Il is the Demo
cratic party the Republicans are fighting:
and there is no doubt as to the position

course OF HANCOCK in carrying out the

questions. Gen. GRANT says; Sc lie (Han

Distress nj Home,

While we are relieving the suffering OF
people Of other lands, let us not forget that
there is poverty and hardship close al
hand which should receive attention. The
SENTINEL learned yesterdays an old widow
lady, seventy years Of age, residing in a
small cabin somewhere on South Spring
street, who is entirely destitute. The at
tention of Commissioner Campbell bad
been called to her situation, and when the
reporter last saw that gentleman he was
looking for Commissioner Turner to SEE
if something conld not be done for the old
lady. The county, by st,aining a point,
may grant aid tie nporarily. but a destitute
person, unless sick also, does not neeessa-
lilly become a public charge. 1t therefore
follows that the case to which we have
called attention would seem to be one de-
handing the early attention Of the chart
tably disposed in our community. The
subject is a proper one to enlist the active
sympathies of the ladies of Eureka.

At about a quarter past IL O'Clock last

The flames were fairly under Roadway be-

sudden Death Of Miss J0sie Kendall
fin Rome.

A cablegram last Saturday brought Mr..
]. R. Kendall, superintendent of the Jennie
A mine. White Pine. the sad intelligence
of the death of his only daughter the day
previous in Rome. Miss Josie finished her
education in Paris last fall, when she was
Joined by her mother from Boston. The
two, accompanied by q party Of friends,
we're passing the winter in visiting the chief
cities and objects OF interest in the old
world. By letter Mr.. Kendall was advised
that the party would leach Rome about two
weeks ago. The next news he received was
the cablegram bringing the sorrowful It'd
ings Of the taking off Of his beloved daugh-
ter. The cablegram was necessarily brief,
but implied that she had died Of diptheria.
Miss Josie was a young lady of rare
beauty and accomplishments. Having fin
ished her education, to all intents and
purposes, in this country, she went to Paris,
and there, at one of the best institutions Of
learning, submitted herself to a course
running through four years and a-half.
She had mastered pretty much all of the
languages, and while travelling was perfect
1y at home in any country visited. Her
talent in this particular was OF invaluable
service to the party. Miss Josie was also
writing her father charmingly descriptive
letters of their travels.
Mr.. Kendall arrived here Sunday en-
route for San francisco. He will spend a
couple OF days in that city transacting i'm
portant business, thence Fastening to New
York to meet his deeply afflicted wife with
the remains of their lovely daughter. They
will be deposited at the old family home
near Boston. Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall nave
two sons, young men, both of whom are
residents of this coast, one of them living
in San Francisco, and the other in Wash
ington Territory. Miss Josie, whose I'M
timely death the family and a large circle
Of friends are called upon to mourn, had
just turned her 25th year. Mr.. Kendall's
numerous friends and acquaintance, both
here and in White Pine will sincerely con-
dole with him in his sad and irreparable
loss.

The score at the close stood: OLeary, 516

presence Of an interested throng OF specta-
tors. O'Leary came from the track in
splendid condition. Weston's trainer at

The Austin Company is just now the
hope OF Mineral Hill. The Austin Com
pany has purchased the English Company's
property and will probably start operations
about May LIST. There seems to be some
delay in getting the English title perfected.
The latter company had gone into liquida-
ton in Europe, and the title TO the prop
erty is in some way tied up in the Courts.
The sale to the Austin Company is all right,
with the exception of the delivery of the
deed. The money has been sent on, with
instructions to pay it over when a proper
deed shall be executed. 1t is thought that
the English Court will get around to the
matter and sfraighten it out in Thirty, or
sixty days at the outside.

Good Outlook for a Lively Sea-
son.
Mr.. Andy Loueks is in receipt Of a letter
from George W. Doan, a gentleman we'll
known in Eureka, who went over.to Osceola
last fall. We are permitted to gather from
the letter the following items of news:
The mining outlook is considered very
bright. Not only are the quartz mines
looking exceedingly well, but a great har-
vest is promised for the placer miners the
coming season. With the latter the great
desideratum is water. The immense fall
of snow during the winter guarantees a
more than usual supply of water for the
placer claims. In addition to this a ditch
six miles in length is to be brought in,
which will furnish water through the whole
Of the summer. The boys who own good
placer mines are therefore sangnine that
they will be able to put in a profitable sea-
son.
Another mill Of 20 stamps, it is said, will
be erected this spring. so the chances of a
boom in Osceola may be regarded as first
class. There can hardly be a doubt that
the camp will be particularly lively as soon
as the weather, which has been very severe,
yields to the genial rays of the spring sun.

Under date OF March 10th, Col. Thomas
j. Taylor, now in San Francisco, writes
Mr.. Hiram johnson an interesting letter,
relative to a new smelling process on trial
in that city. By the new method, it is
claimed that from $40 to $40 per ton
may be realized from twenty-dollar ores.
The new smelter is thus described by Col.
Taylor A pot shaped apparatus in set in .
furnace kept at a high degree Of heat. Near
the bottom of the pot a pipe is attached,
through which the ore is introduced, the
same being of sufficient height and length
for the ore to overcome a pressure Of two
feet Of molten lead, say about 80 feet.
Through this pipe say, about three inches
in diameter, the pulp is introduced, and
passes up through the molten lead. The
gangue comes to the top OF the lead-bath,
while all the metal is taken up by the lead
itself. The gangue comes in the shape Of
a dry powder to the top, and not a particle
Of metal is left in it. The process makes
no Stag, but gathers all the precious metals
and leaves them in the lead. Col. Taylor
states that the tests which he witnessed
worked as close, if not closer, than a fire
assay.
Col. Taylor also writes that he made ar
rangements to have a few tons OF low-grade
ore from this district tested. and requests
Mr.. johnson to send dow the required
samples. In compliance with this request
Mr.. johnson will forward a thousand or
two pounds of the lower classes of Silver
onnor ore.
Col. Taylor is one Of the Oldest smelters
on the Pacific coast, and is therefore q
competent judge Of such matters. The
fact that he has faith in the new process
will go far with the mining men of Eureka
towards establishing its claim to success.
1t is hardly necessary to add that if the
new method succeeds it will be
worth millions to our district. When
ever a plan is introduced by which
we can get ten dollars out Of our
twenty-dollar ores, We will all get so rich
that we will have money to throw at the
birds.
