Fooled Again.

For three long hours yesterday fore
noon stranger sat on horse-block on
Woodward Avenue, near the parks, in
the cold north wind, closely watching
vehicles and pedestrians and acting as if
he expected something of Importance to
occur. His long hair, cadaverous face
and seedy dress at length attracted the
attention of policeman to him, and the
officer asked why he sat there.
Say" replied the man, as he rose up
and reached out his hand to shake, ss /
believe I've been fooled again. It's long
enough after 10 O'Clock, and she hasn t
happened yet"
"What's that? What is to happenP''
Say, maybe you'll think I'm green,
but 1 honestly believed the world was to
come to an end at 10 O'Clock to-day So
did dad. So did mann. So did sister
Hannah. Feler came through our
neighborhood in January and gave us
the date and told US to be ready. The
old folks wanted to go up from the front
yard, but 1 preferred to come to town.
l walked seven miles this morning, and
was here at half-past nine. Say, why
didn't she end as advertised? What's
the use of foolng feller this wayP''
care you ninny enough to believe
s'Well, kinder. This is the third time
I've been ready, and it seems I'm fooled
again. Say, perhaps it was postponed
''Like enough" -"
'sI guess not, though. I guess we got
the date wrong. Say, wouldn't this be
bully place to stand and see the per-
formance! Cracky! but when the earth
began to heave, the trees to fall, the
waters to rise and the heavens to flame,
wouldn't things around here look sick P''
You'd better go home"
Yes, l suppose so. If she was to
come off to-day she'd have been on time.
Say, you don't go much on the world
coming to an end pretty soon, do yOug'
&" Not a cent"
" Well, do. So does the old man.
So does mann. So does Hannah. We
amt going to miss it if we know our
selves. The old man will feel worse
than do for he's got to pay a note of $50
tomorrow. Hannah won't care much,
for she's been engaged eight times and
is used to disappOintments. Say, how
do you suppose the performance viii
commence when it does come off?''
{" Haven't any idea.''
{" Haven't, EN-? Be q high old time,
won't they! sugar ana Tea ana Sucn
stuff will come down over half, and you
police won't feel much ike knocking
men down and jumping on them. Say,
the performance is off, isn't it?''
"I guess So"
"Wen, III go home. Kinder mean
to fool feller this way, but can stand
it if the old world can. Maybe she's
going to wait for warm weather. Say,
! did
s'You'd better 60"
90 Yes, know; but it's kinder funny
to think of dad and mann sitting out in
the front yard all puckered up and ready
| to GO, and Hannah in the front bedroom
up stairs singing L want to be an Angel
through her nose! Ha! ha! ha! Kinder
fiat on me, too, Ell? Hoofed it seven
miles to be fooled on the string game
Say, don't
The officer was moving away.
"Say, you'll"
But the officer wouldn't, and after ;
lingering look around the young MAJ
took his way up Woodward Avenue
walking between the car tracks anC
looking for cracks in the pavement

The Phoebe Record Of the 12th says +;
There was quite a little rumpus kicked up
at Hike on Sunday. The Hike mail con-
tractor brought suit before Justice Butler
against = young man. some time ago, and
won the case. On the above mentioned
day the young mans mamma met the mail
contractor at Hike, and commenced throw
ing stones at the prosecutor Of her little
six-foot child. The woman seeing that the
attack was not resented. rushed In upon
the contractor and hit him over the head
with . dinner bucket. Still having things
all her own way, she then pitched into the
prosecutor Of her infant In grand style,
making him fee for safety. The old woman
proving herself the best fighting q OF
the two. mounted q box. tapped her wings
and sounded the crow Of victory.

The Phoebe Record has the following !:
Out ct Spring Valley recently a number Of
men went out rifle shooting, and one Of
them, Charles Bell, went to shoot at q bird
on q post, ONE distance off. He brought
the rifle up to his shoulder to shoot, but
everything appeared dark. Thinking that
something got over his eye, he lowered the
gun and wiped the optic with . ndker
chief, then again went to shoot, but could
see nothing. He then shut the eye with
which he was sighting and opened the
other, and could see perfectly, but the
other eye Is completely blind. Nothing
appears to be the matter with the eye, and
it looks Is 1t always did, except that he
cannot see with 1t. He has never felt any
pain about the optic, either before or since
the sudden blindness, and does not know
what to make Of 10. Bell c~ontemplates go
ing East shortly for the purpose Of placing
himself under the charge Of an optician.

CARDS the route, only desiring that the

dated
EDITOR SENTINEL-Knowing that there
Ia Q public road in contemplation to tap
some OF the prominent mines on Prospect
Mountain, and that the same il to start
from either Of the reduction works OF Eu-
reka, to make its terminus at Q point IN
Prospect Mountain where ii will be most
convenient to reach all the mines in that
section. Several routes are nov under dis
cussion. I will suggest that from personal
examination Of the routes contemplated, I
And that the one starting from . point in
Goodwin Canyon Ia by far the shortest
road that will lead Q team in safety to the
following named mines, viz Probert,
Bayard Taylor, I B, Eagle mines, Last
Chance, Lookout, Ester, Ironsides. Chief
Of the Hill, Silver Conner, Piute, Indus
try, Williams, Metamoras. Colorado. Ell
Dorado and Pioneer mine, with many
others that are Of present Importance, and
that can be connected by branch roads.
This route will enable teams to make an
extra trip per day, from the fact Of IT being
shorter than any other, and ! TAIL to see
that there 10 any more grade to the mile,
but question IL there Is IS much Is there
IL by the other roads. There are many
features connected with this route that are
worthy Of note and are important. One
Is that II will cost less to grade the same
kind Of road than 1t will by either the New
York Canyon or the Ruby Hill route.
I hope that both the public md the In
terested mine owners OF Eureka will ex-
anime the conclusions set forth In this let
ter before advancing in the premises.

We copy the following news items from
the Phoebe Record Of the 18th instant:
The Hillside water jacket was started up
to-day and is running we'll. Coal and ore
are coming in rapidly, though not as faat
as wanted, owing to the scarcity Of teamB,
as there are at present but few to be had
in the county.
The town has been quite lively the past
week, . half . dozen fights every night,
more or less. Two would-be pugilists had
their fingers nearly bitten of, and the rest
roam the streets with bandanged heads and
blackened eyes. -
Loads Of machinery for the Bristol 8.
M. Company have been coming in daily the
past week. The rooster, the largest one OF
the kind in this Etate-a White d Howell's
latest improved-was unloaded here the
last four days.
The large patent within arrived. here last
Thursday, for the Mendha mine OF High
land. It will be placed in position imme.
distely, and the sinking Of the main shaft
will be resumed next week.
Bristol can now boast Of more drunks in
proportion to her population than any other
town in the State.
The Hillside mine, east and west seventh
level. has improved somewhat in the last
few days.
Some fine ore has been coming in from
the Carsar mine, Of Silver King District.

Amusement seekers should remember the
exhibition OF the celebrated trained bear,
Jocko. at Eureka Hall. this evening. He
Is certainly one Of the most intelligent an.
imals in existence, and we advise our read
ers to read the advertisement Of his won
derful feats In another column. Ladies
and children visiting the show need have
no fear Of the bear, as he is always secured
by a chain. and being Of . most amiable
nature, they need have no hesitation in
shaking hands with him, riding upon his
back, etc. His entertaining performances
with his trainer, Mons. Silyair, are really
worth seeing, and we would advise all to
aftand.

The SENTINEL Is in receipt Of the sub
joined letter from . reliable miner for
merly residing in Eureka District. It will
be seen that he denounces the Skagit River
excitement as q colossal blk:
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON TERRITORY,
June 5, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Permit me to write
to you and my friends Of Ruby Hill and
Eureka o few lines concerning the Skagit
River gold excitement. left Bodie, CAL,
on February 7th, and came direct here. 1
left here on the steamer Chehalis, for
Mount Vernon, on the Skagit, IL miles
from Puget Sound from there to Good
ellis landing, head Of canoe navigation.
The distance from Seattle is 100 miles. and
is miles to Ruby Greek, the Ell Dorado Of
Washington Territory. There are three
districts. The first is Ruby Greek District,
then Granite and Canyon Greek. All Of
these districts are taken up and located.
Granite Greek is to be represented June
10Th, and the other two on July LIST. The
claims are $50 feet long, by Is feet above
high water mark. There were some men
at work on Ruby Greek last year. They
did not get any OF their ground to bedrock,
as they did not have provisions to last any
length Of time. They say that the creeks
are very rich. but in prospecting them I
think that they are very poor, as / have
been talking to G. w. Anderson, Recorder
Of Granite District, and six other miners
last night. They came down here without
money or clothing. They have been sink
ing and running cuts on the bedrock in
many places, but were unsuccessful. There
u . little gold; but very little to be had in
any place yet discovered. There is still nm
excitement kept up by the runners Of hotels
and steamboats, and storekeepers Of Seattle
and also Of Victoria, B. @. These places
are running opposition to each other, q
party claiming that their route is the near
est, and the other stating the same, and
that they are building and have built 1
trail. All of these statements are false.
There is M trail from either side, and
there will not be any until there are some
mines discovered which will pay to work.
These streams were p~rospected three years
ago, and last year again there were as
many as SO men in there. They sunk to
the bedrock on the Nip and Tuck claim.
There was foul hundred and q few dollars
taken out by all combined. They put it
altogether and sold it here in Seattle. It
has since been kept shifting from here TO
Victoria and the Skagit, one month after
another, to keep up the excitement, and to
keep men coming here from other States
and Territories, as there is no other bust
ness doing here. In the few sawmills that
are running they pay IS cents per day and
board. To conclude, Mr.. Editor, / will
now write no more, as my paper and ink
are limited, and as Skagit is the biggest
blk that I have ever seen. Hoping that
my friends Of Ruby Hill will find a bound
less bonanza on Prospect Mountain, or IN
some other mountain Of Nevada, I remain,
yours respectfully, MICHAEL ]. WARREN.

Some Mention OF the Richmond
and Ruby-DunderberS.
The London Mining Journal of May
Goth is at hand. It contains the following
reference to Eureka mines:
RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED.
The meeting, which is fully reported
in another column. passed off satisfac-
torily. A dividend Of los. per share has
been declared. Shareholders cannot be
too strongly urged not to suffer themselves
to be misled by the garbled statements of
certain Of their co-shareholders who are
persistently opposing the management. 1t
should be remembered that figures may be
correctly extracted from accounts, and yet
by disconnecting those figures from others
equally important, culpably false conclu-
sions may be drawn with q view to mis-
lead. The general body Of Richmond
shareholders have publicly expressed their
confidence in the management, and have
unquestionably good reasons to be satisfied
-ash tuo cxuc111us Ivsu1ps ana nznusUme
dividends obtained under it. The COM
parsons with the Eureka are entirely falla-
cious, because incomplete, and Richmond
shareholders should not forget the remarks
AAUlQ nv ~ 8A0H td&t AN
statements intended to be damaging are
only made by infnitesimally small and dis
appointed shareholders who nave pro-
fessional ends in view. The usual telegram
from the mines at Eureka shows that the
weeks run was $75, 900 from 1,100 tons OF
ore. During the week the refinery pro-
duced dore bars to the value Of $55, 900.
The Manager MAY b reports that the 400,
north from the No. 15 chamber, has been
extended fifteen feet in very promising
ground. The 500, north from No. IL
chamber, has been extended fifteen feet In
~good-looking ore ground. The 600 main
west drift has been extended twenty-four
feet In ground more favorable for drifting.
All the chambers are looking well, and
turning out the quantity Of good ore.
auBy-puNpERRERa.
Private information has been received
that there are 1000 tons Of ore at the works
available for smelling. The progress noted
last week continues, and Is again shown in
Q favorable official telegram published in
another column. The ore smelted during
the week is telegraphed o. 1893 tons, netting
81, $50, or rather more than $40 per ton,
as against $25 per ton telegraphed last
week. The ore extracted for the week was
1871 tons. The Superintendent weekly
report shows that developments are being
steadily prosecuted. and that Q new vein
Of ore has been discovered, which at the
time Of writing had widened to four feet,
and looked very promising. 1t IL added
that it must not be forgotten that the aim
| Of the direction OF Eureka is to steadily
develop the mine.
