showing heavy groupings, commencing at
its south end line and running northwest
about LOO feet, when they sink under a
shale formation. During a period of three
months, under a mere course OF prospect
ing, over 81 tons of ore were extracted and
shipped to the Richmond reduction works,
which yielded an average of over 500 per
ton in gold and silver, and was pronounced
as being very tractable, and of excellent
quality for smelling. All the ore that has
been extracted, so far, has been taken from
a Wine, and drifts running north and
south OF it in course of development. Not
a pound of ore has yet been taken from the
slopes. The vein runs from six inches to
about five feet in thickness, never giving
out, utshowing continuously from where it
was first struck to the lowest depth attained.
The surface ground is covered by a United
States patent, a certificate for the same
having been received from Washington a
short time ago. Work will be resumed on
this mine in course of a few weeks. when
the ore will be traced from the lowest
workings, to prove whether the body
crosses the Eureka tunnel or not.

An old miner, writing from a distant
camp to the SENTINEL, says /: Il am glad
to see that the Miners Union has honored
Richard James by giving him the highest
office in their gift, for no man could fill the
tine position Of President so worthily, nor
is any man better entitled to this mark Of
their esteem. 1t was Dick James who, by
his persistent efforts, in the years 1924,
broke up the system, then prevailing in
Cornwall, Of paying the miner twelve
weeks wages for thirteen weeks work. He
afterwards organized a cooperative COM
pany, that sold goods to the miners at cost
price, thus enabling them to save u por-
ton of their hard earnings. He gained
many enemies among the mine-owners,
but there is not a miner in Cornwall to-
day who will not be gratifed to learn Of
his success, and Of the estimation in which
he is held in the home of his adoption"

The slayer of slade Discharged.

The Bodie Free Press, of last Sunday,
has the following: William Withrow, who
shot Slade a week ago, did not leave town,
as several times reported, but has remained
here ready to be taken in charge at any
time. Yesterday he was brought up before
Justice Peterson by a Deputy Sheriff, and
examined in relation to the shooting. No
one appeared against him. Two or three
witnesses were examined, but none of
them saw him do the shooting. The Dis
trict Attorney stated that he had had a talk
with Slade on his death-bed, but could
gain no particulars as to who fred the
fatal shot. Slade said 1--WE had a quarrel
and he shot me-" With no more than the
above facts being brought out, the Justice
ordered Witfraw released. Under ordi-
nary circumstance he would have been
held, and he is remarkably fortunate in be-
ing discharged without even a trial.

A B0dieife Visits the Land of the
MOntezumas.

Those men in Eureka, and there are not
a few, who have beer troubled with the.
Mexican fever, should carefully read the
annexed statement Of John Mann, whose
life has been passed on this coast, and
whose fortunes have been cast among every
new excitement since the days Of 40, who
has just returned to Bodie from an extend
ed trip through the State Of Sonora, in
Mexico. Mr.. Mann has been interviewed
by a reporter Of the News. That paper
states that late last summer Mr.. Mann
left Bodie imbued with the faith that that
most erratic and unreliable Republic,
known as Mexico, was the oasis in the des-
ert Of the worlds existence, and a land
flowing with milk and honey. He landed
at Guaymas, and then proceeded to the in
terror. From that seaport he Travelled over

some show for White Pine.

There is every reason to believe that
White Pine will witness a revival in the
spring. The strike in the Eberhardt &
Aurora tunnel has again called the atten-
ton of capitalists and mining men to this
once famous camp, and a dozen parties are
now in the East whose business is chiefly
to interest Eastern capital. Among this
number is Mr.. L. l.. Robinson, of San
Francisco, a large owner in the Albion.
Superintendent E. W. Robinson, of the Al
bion; J. Il. Kendall, Superintendent of the
Jennie A., and Joe Gr~andelmeyer. Hon.
Thomas Wren has had a gentleman there
for some months to look after his interests,
and a letter to the SENTINEL says that Mr..
Eugene N. Robinson, of the Badly Sour, is
doing his utmost to further the develop
ment of the district. II is among the pos
sibilities that Hamilton will again witness
a boom unsurpassed even in its palmiest
days.

The involuntary tribute to strong char

tween teacher and taught, being evident
proof of mental power, were agreeable to
contemplate. The attractions now appeal
ing to the imagination being ignored the
respect given the wishes Of the Rector be-
ing paramount; the harmony of belief,
resultant of thought all cause acceptance
that owe effects discipline, and enforce the
truth that the impress Of God is love.

Cattle Sold.

Sheriff Kyle yesterday sold to the Union
Market the stolen cattle, recently recovered
from the man Texas" The sum realized
was 1885. After deducting expenses the
residue will be held for the owner of the
cattle should he turn up. The marks and
brands were retained. The Sheriff pur-
sued a Y wise course in thus disposing of the
stock. Had he followed the strict letter Of
the law, he would have been compelled to
keep them 60 days. As they would have
eaten their heads of in half the time. he
thought it the better policy to dispose Of
them for cash, and hold the money subject
to the order of the owner. He realized a
fair price for them.

Developments were made at a considera-
BILE depth on the mineral belt. Assays
have been obtained running as high as

pressed themselves well satisfied with its

to become an important mining section in
the near future.

RELOCATING AND JUMPING.
what Constitutes 800 worth Of
Labor and improvements?

- AssNBEOt etneh1tS
A number Of claims have recently been
jumped or relocated in the vicinity of Au-
rora, which leads the Esmeralda Herald to
say that there seems to be a difference Of
opinion as to what constitutes the slOO ex-
penditure required by the United States
laws. Some persons in the district have
annually expended $50 for labor, and
added $40 for cost of powder, fuse, tools,
etc., making the total 500, and upon APP
plication to the Recorder received a certifi-
cate that the lawful amount Of labor had
been performed. The parties who have re-
located a number of such claims hold that
500 worth of actual labor must be per-
formed each year, and that the law has not
been complied with. The point is one
which may cause much litigation, il it is
not better defined by law or settled by de-
cision. The literal reading of the statute
is as follows 'On each claim located af-
ter the tenth day of May. eighteen hundred
and seventy-two, and until a patent has
been issded therefor, not less than one
hundred dollars worth of labor shall be
performed or Improvements made during
zach year." The record of the affidavit of
the claimant ''that at least 500 worth of
labor or improvements" nave been per-
formed or made is prima facie evidence of
the performance Of such labor, but SO far
as we know the question as to whether the
money expended for powder, tools, etc.,
can be counted as part Of the 500 worth of
labor or improvements" has never been
decided by the Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land Office. But the statute says
the miners of each mining district may
make regulations not in conflict with the
laws Of the United States, or with the laws
OF the State or Territory in which the dis
trict is situated, governing the location.
manner of recording, and amount Of work
necessary to hold possession Of a mining
claim, +" and it is held by some persons that
the last clause Of the quotation gives the
miners the right by local laws or custom,
to say what shall constitute 500 worth Of
labor or improvements ; for instance,
that sinking a shaft or running a tunnel ID
specified number Of feet should be worth
500. The custom in this district has been
to count the cost of materials used in max
ing p rmanent improvements on claims,
such as sinking shaft or driving tunnel or
drift, and claimants believe this will hold
good in the courts. However, until the
law IL made more definite, or the matter
settled by decisions, perhaps, it would be
well fer parties holding valuable claims to
perform fully 800 worth of labor, without
regard to the cost of the necessary tools
and materials. Expensive litigation, with
possible loss of good bonanzas, may thus
be avoided.

The strike In the Eureka Tunnel.

The late strike in the Eureka tunnel is
Immediately under the Inca mine Of the
Company, and not on the ground Of the
Ell Dorado No. 2, as was enormously stated
in yesterdays issue Of the SENTINEL. The
Ell Dorado lies a little to the southwark,
and the development in the tunnel shows
that it is a mine of merit. Secretary But
Ter and Mr.. Maurice Hartnet inform us
that the strike in the tunnel is very i'm
portant. The indications warrant the be-
lief that the tunnel is just entering a regu-
lar bonanza of good ore. The formation
is favorable in all directions and the ore
already encountered gives promise of lead
ing to an immense deposit. We are glad
to hear such good news from an enterprise
Of so much importance to the veal of our
district. 1t is highly probable that the
Eureka tunnel will in the near future take
rank as a paying proposition.

The Elements Against Them.

The weather gods have evidently arrayed
themselves against the management of Eu-
reka Hall. Since the opening night scarce
ly an entertainment has been given that
the weather has not interfered with the at
tendance. Notwithstanding the storm OF
Tuesday evening the house was packed,
the streets almost impossible for ladies,
and but few gentlemen cared to venture
out unless from necessity. This is a mat
ter of regret, for had the elements proved
favorable the management would undoubt-
edly have retrieved past losses.

The CO1vi1Ies.

Byron's burlesque Of the Bohemian Gy-
url." was given last night. The play is
one in which the members can scarcely dis
play their talents to advantage, and is not
calculated to satisfy a Eureka audience,
and the hits Of Roland Reed. and the
chorus singings alone saved it from abso-
lutte failure. With the exception OF Reed,
not a single member Of the company ac-
quilted themselves creditably as on the
previous evening. The snow storm may
have had a depressing effect, but whatever
the cause, many Of the troupe went through
their lines as though it were an unpleasant
and irksome task. Several Of them watch
ed the effect of the gags on the house, and
Miss Roseau herself is not altogether
free from this habit. None will
question the abilities Of the
but for the sake of the management we
hope they will not make the mistake which
has been made heretofore, and imagine that
anything is good enough for the public OF
a mining camp. and that ii looks for naught
save shapely limbs encased in gaudy trap
pings. Tonight Oxygen" will be pre-
scented. 1t is founded on one of Jules
Verne's famous tales, aud is said to be ex-
ceedingly amusing. III the author has
managed to infuse the humor contained in
the story, aud the company will do them
selves justice, an entertaining evening can
certainly be spent at the Hall.
