BIG BET ON HANCOCK.
A Drove of Sheep to Nothing tina
He Is the Next President.

The Deadwood News, whose editor and
proprietor is a brother Of Mr.. Orrin Miller,
Of Eureka, has the following sporting in
telligence of a political nature "Mention
was made some time since Of a proposition
made by j. d. Hale to Jake Shoudy to de-
liver to the latter 1 1000 head of sheep, and
receive pay for the same at double the
market price when Hancock is elected; in
case OF Hancock's defeat Shoudy would not
be compelled to pay anything whatever for
the sheep. This arrangement has finally
been entered into by the parties named,
and Mr.. Hale says he is ready to sign a
written contract to that effect. The sheep
will be delivered to Mr.. s. whenever he
wishes, and the contract will undoubtedly
be carried out. The bet will be declared
off only upon the decease Of Mr.. Hancock
before the election. If. after the votes are
canvassed, Mr.. Hancock is declared
elected, Hale will collect from -Shoudy
double the amount at which the sheep are
now valued that will be something be-
tween 81, 900 and So, 600; if, on the con-
trary, Hancock is defeated, Mr.. Shoudy
will be ahead from SO, 600 to 81, 200. This
is a pretty large bet on matters political,
and it strikes us that Hale is on the win
ming side. Te seems confident, and has q
few thousand more sheep, which he would
probably risk on the same terms"

GRANTsvILLE.
Estimated value of h Celebrated
Alexander Mine.

Says the Sutro Independent: Grantsville,
some 80 miles east Of Sutro, is said to be
the ~liveliest and most promising mining
camp in the State. Quite a number Of new
buildings are in course OF erection, and
others will be constructed as soon as the
owners of lots can procure the material.
Among other business places, the town con-
tains three barber shops, one hardware
store and tin shop, an express Office, two
general merchandise stores, about a dozen
saloons, four restaurants and several good
sized lodging-houses.
The Belmont Courier of August 21st,
says that the Alexander mill is pounding
away on ore from the Alexander C~ompany's
mine, and is undoubtedly one Of the finest
and best managed mills in the State. The
foreman, Mr.. Thomas Mitchell, is con-
stantly occupied in watching things, and
making such improvements as are required.
The additional 20 stamps are being put in
place as rapidly as possible, and when
they are started up the bullion shipments
will be doubled.
The Alexander is one Of the biggest
mines in the country; the mountain seems
to be nothing but ore. A ledge measuring
over $50 feet in width, and prospected to a
depth of 600 feet, is surely a bonanza for
any camp. In all the levels the ore is of
the same extent and character, and the in
dications are favorable for its going down
to a great depth. Two experienced engin-
GERS have just made a careful measure
ment, by actual survey, OF the ore in sight
in the Alexander mine, with the following
result: After deducting one-third of the
ore for waste, from the remaining two
thirds deducting two-thirds for ex-
penses of mining, milling and prospect
ing, although one-half Of the amount
was deemed a liberal estimate,
they computed the remaining one
third Of two-thirds at $31 per ton,
giving as net profit the sum of $48, 900, 900.
Estimating the expenses at only one-half
of the two-thirds, the whole amounted to
S72, 200, 900. This only for ore in sight,
while the ore is fast improving in grade
and widening into immensely below I'm
der the able management of M. San Pedro
the work both in and about the mine is
progressing satisfactorily, and Mr.. Thomas
X. Murphy, his foreman, is a first-class
miner, who sees that the work is lone in a
thorough and systematic manner. The
company's new blacksmith shop is near
the mouth Of the tunnel.
A company has been formed to convey
water to the town in pipes from springs
situated some three miles from Grants
vile. Messrs. Hogan, Curler, Mcmahon
and others are the owners of the springs.

BOSTON MINING EXCHANGE.
How the New Concern Started Out
I'm the World.

How the New Concern Started Out
I'm the World.
The American Exchange in speaking Of
this Board, says that great confidence is
expressed by persons interested in the new
Mining Exchange in Boston, Of its entire
success. The enterprise has mel with great
encouragement, and considerable enthusi-
asm is shown in regard to it by mining
men in that city. 1t was proposed to have
the stock Of the organization consist of
$50 shares, but the number has been re-
duced to $50 shares, all Of which it is
stated have beer subscribed for. The Ex-
change has secured elegant rooms on the
first floor in the marble building Of the
New York Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, facing Postofice Square, in Boston.
The location is perhaps the most desirable
that could have been selected in that city.
1t is proposed to have a cabinet in the
rooms, in which will be kept specimens of
mineral taken from the mines listed on the
Exchange. The cabinet will be divided
into compartments, one being set apart for
each company, and for the use of which a
small rental will be charged. Those per-
sons desiring to have the privilege of using
| the rooms of the Exchange will be charged
an annual subscription fee so that people
living out of town can make the rooms a
| place of resort while in the city. The man
| ayers of the Exchange confidently predict
| that within the next six months as many
as 100 mining companies of unquestioned
| character will have their stocks listed at
| the new Board.

SharOn's Serenade.

Senator Sharon was serenaded at the In
ternational Hotel Monday evening. In re-
Spouse to calls, he appeared on the balcony
and spoke a few sentences. The Chronicle
and Footlight say he was jeered by the
crowd about the sack and treated alto

preston that the assemblage was respect
full and several times applauded the
speaker. As a Senatorial send-off, how

a very brilliant success. The Senator, dur

The Senatorial Fight and other
Political Notes.
vIRorN1A. August 30. 1880.

VIRGINIA, August 80, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL The Senatorial fight
is the all-absorbing topic here. in political
circles and when l say political circles,
that includs everybody. The man without
political influence these days would be hard
to find on the Comstock.
Sharon seems to be sweeping things. An
effort was made in the Clubs, the other
night. to repeal the ironclad pledge, re-
J curing the members to stand by the Re-
publican ticket, from top to bottom. The
opponents of Sharon advocated the abro-
CATION of the pledge, in order that they
might have an opportunity to oppose the
California Senator at the polls. Sharon's
friends stood in for the pledge, and it
stands yet. This shows that they rave con-
fdence in their ability to carry the prima-
ries, and put up a Sharon Legislative ticket.
The only pledge that the Sharon men are
likely to insist upon in the County Con-
v%ention, is one binding the Legislative
nominees to abide the decision OF the SEN
atorial caucus at Carson next winter. Will
the Republican Conventions Of other coun-
ticS 30 ldTtHtr T Anu Will tne pcOPio VI
the State elect a ticket thus cut and dried
for Sharon?
Tritle is in bad health, and his friends
seem discouraged. WOODBURY. and Lewis
are making no stir. Eureka county is con-
coded to Wren as first choice, with a chance
for Sharon on the second. In the counties
that are overwhelmingly Democratic-such
as Elko, Lander, Humboldt and Churchill
the tactics Of the Republican managers
are most likely to be the pledging Of men,
bers OF the Legislature to withhold their
support from Sharon, both in and out Of
caucus. In this manner they will hope to
slide in a few members from Democratic
counties. But the game should not be al
lowed to succeed. The fight SINNERS down
to simply this The next U. b. Senator
from Nevada will be Sharon, or a Demo-
crat. II the people elect a Republican
Legislature, Sharon will be the man.
Mackay is friendly to both Tritle and Wood
burn, but is doing nothing to help either.
The Enterprise, of which Mackay owns a
half interest, is, as you have observed, out
spoken for Sharon. This shows how the
cat is jumping on the Senatorial question.
But maybe Mackay cannot well help him.
self. Sharon owns the other half OF the
Enterprise, and of course has a right to
have it boost him for the succession.
This then is the situation at the present
writing Sharon has the lead in the race,
and will unquestionably succeed himself
unless the voters of the State return a
Democratic Legislature. Will they do it?
That is .he question. With a Democratic
Legislature, the State would secure the
services of such a man as Hillhouse, Deal,
Hagerman, or u h~alf-dozen other able Dem
ocrats whom 1 might mention. The whole
matter is with the people. We shall see
further ON how they decide.
Respectfully yours, C~oMsToCKER.
