CARSON SHELTERS.
The Latest Bracket" OF the People
of the Capital.

Carson has a scheme on foot to erect
smelling works. Several public meetings
have been held to consider the PROPOSE
ton. We notice that most Of the speakers
eonfne their remarks chiefly to low-grade
ores, OF which II Is claimed there Is q great
abundance available in the vicinity named.
With some knowledge Of smelling in these
parts we beg to tell the Carson public that
1t will not do to rely too largely on low
grade ores. Unless transportation, coal,
wood, labor, etc., can be figured down TO a
very low basis, ores going less than $50
per ton cannot be treated proftably by
custom works. The chloriders OF this dis
tfiet do not get rich from the proceeds OF
ores varying from $40 to $50. The cost of
reduction, transportation of bullion to
market, separation Of the lead from the
siiver, twenty per cent. loss in treatment,
ana the heavy discount on silver, knock q
fearful hole in a ton of ffty-dollar ore.
ana yet we would not discourage our
friends OF the Capital. Still 1t Is well
enough for them to know what they may
expect IN considering this latest enter
prise. We earnestly desire that Carson
may secure smelling works, and that they
may prove eminently successful. But fail
ure mas been the rule with custom smelters
vi around. Those in Hamilton, Winnie
mucca. Truckee, Sacramento and Oakland
were all conspicuous failures. A similar
enterprise in Carson may work better,
mnere' as we are told by the local press,
.nere are millions of tons Of low-grade ores
.isnt at hand, but II we were going to put
soin In an undertaking Of the kind we
nmouid want to know that there were also
nish-grade ores within reach.

MARRIED..


The Yeager-Smifh Nuptials Last
Night at the Jackson House.
One of the most happy matrimonial
events of the season was the wedding Of
Mr.. Chris Yeager and Miss Agnes Smith at
the Jackson House last night. Early in
the evening the guests who had been in
vited to witness the ceremony, to the num-
Der OF twenty-five or thirty, began to fill
the p~arlors, awaiting the appearance of the
bridal party. Punctual to the hour an
nounced, the parties most interested took
their stand in front of Father Monteverde.
The ceremony being performed, all present
stepped forward and extended their con-
CALCULATIONS to the bride and groom, after
which several hours were spent pleasantly
in social conversation.
Mr.. Yeager, being a member of the Ger
mania, was not in the least surprised,
about 10 o'clock, to hear the Club, in full
force, singing songs of gladness appropri-
ate to the Joyous occasion. They were
highly appreciated. The members were in
vlted in, when supper and champagne
were ordered, and up to a late hour all
HNLo w thO ClO Go RnlotO
was fast disappearing before the assembled
guests.
The wedding gifts were valuable, numer-
GUS and rich in design. Wenoticed several
packages which bore the compliments Of
Mr.. Ed. Wilhelm, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Regli,
Mr.. and Mrs. Nick Millich, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Fox and others. The following
persons witnessed the ceremony: Mrs.
Dave McQuitty, Mr.. Briggs, wife and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Beatty,
Mrs. Yeates, Mr.. and Mrs. James Stevens,
Mr.. and Mrs. Beard, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Regli, Ruby Hill; Charley Fox, Charley
Coll, Mr.. Berg, Mrs. E. NJ. Baum and
daughter, the entire Germania Club, and
others whose names we failed to note. Mr..
and Mrs. Jackson (host and hostess) did
not miss a move to make all parties free
and happy, and the occasion was voted one
worthy of note and long to be remembered.
The SENTINEL force acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of an abundance Of cake and wine,
who drank long life and prosperity to the
happy bride and groom.

Rehearsal of the Eureka Dramatic
Club.


The Eureka Dramatic Club has been
organized for several months. 1t is COM
posed OF some Of the best talent in this
vicinity. 1t is the intention of the club to
give a number of entertainments during
the winter. The first will take place soon
after the completion of the new theater,
say about January 10Th. There can be no
sort Of question that these entertainments
are destined to be immensely popular as
well as satisfactory. Indeed they are quite
likely to outrank in merit the perform
ances Of many Of the strolling profession
ais who are sometimes in the habit Of brush
ing our shores. Our theater-going people
may therefore rely upon witnessing many
pleasing dramatic representations during
the long, winter evenings now at hand.
The club has now in hand the beautiful
drama of "Forget Me Not" which had
u an immense run in New York and
San Francisco, under the direction OF the
celebrated James O'Neil. Considering
that, with one exception, the club is COM
posed of amateurs, the cast is a most pow
erful one. A SENTINEL reporter, on Tues
day evening, had the pleasure Of witnessing
a full rehearsal of the piece, though one or

Miss Amelia Arvidson. 1t was an occasion
long to be remembered by those present.
Wine, good cheer and feasting were in

A great many men are leaving this Vi
cinity for Arizona and New Mexico. We
have no doubt that most Of them will re-
greet the change. OF course some will bet
ter their fortunes, but that the great ma
jority will be doomed to bitter ~disappoint-
ment does not admit of doubt. H~ardships
and privations are inseparable from a new
country. The section mentioned is espe-
cially uninviting. 1t is dry and desolate
in the extreme. There are some fair min
eral districts down that way, but SO there
are in Nevada. Right here in Eureka is as
good a field as there is in the world. Nine
men out Of every ten who leave Eureka for
the mythical new camps OF Arizona and
New Mexico will wish themselves back in
less than three months.

A Republican Who Wants Colonel
Fair TO Have the whole Busi-
less.
The following communication from an
old-time Republican, and one of the
staunchest in the State, explains itself:
EUREKA, December Is, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL: l noticed a para
graph in the SENTINEL Of to-day suggest
ing the propriety of all the Republican
members OF the Legislature standing in for
Colonel Fair for United States Senator.
The idea is a good one, and suits me ex-
actly. So long as the Republicans cannot
elect anyone they had as well be magnani-
nous and send Uncle Jimmy through with
o unanimous boom. He is a good man,
and the papers say is going to make the
best Senator Nevada ever had. II this is
SO let the Republicans share in the glory Of
the business by sharing in his election.
The Republican members cannot do their
party any harm by standing in, and may
do the State much good. Besides it would
effectually silence the batteries Of the East
ern press about corruption In our Legisla-
ture. 1t will show that the people, ire
spective Of party, are for Colonel Fair, and
that money had very little to do with his
election. As al old-line, ~straight-out,
dyed-in-the-wool Republican, who never
scratched a ticket in twenty years, l call
upon Senator Hobart and Assemblymen
Knight, Longley and Adams, all Of whom
received my vote and untiring support. to
vote for Colonel James G.. Fair, Of Storey
county, for the high and honorable posi-
ton Of United States Senator. Let US have
a thorough miner to represent the mining
interests of our State.
Respectfully, OLp.LINE REPUBLICAN.

The Largest Building i'm Eastern

but for n Day.
Work has actually commenced. on Eu-
reka Hall. In every aspect it will be su-
perior to the old structure. The floor will
be much larger, and will accommodate
any dancing party which may choose to
meet in Eureka during the years to come.
OF the old foundation only a stage, and
two rooms 1Ox12, will be cut of. This will
leave q floor, in the clear, about 45x65.
The walls will be Of the same hight as
those of the original place, but over the
two dressing rooms will be arranged the
gallery a dress circle upon either side,
and the auditorium filled with raised
seats.
The means of exit, in case of fire, will
be ample. Three large doors in front, a
double door in the rear, with a bridge ex-
tending to Spring street. and windows on
the north and south sides.
The building will be fire-proof, will COM
fortably seat q thousand people, and will

The scenery is already ordered from
some noted painter of the Bush Street
Theater, in San Francisco. Outside of the
usual blocks, fences, etc., the scenery COM
prises sixteen changes, and will be second
to none on the Coast.
The Buel street hall entrance will be
min feet in width. A stairway upon the
right leads to the dress circle, and one
upon the left to the gallery.
Not a foot Of the building will be cum
bered up with useless rooms, and the pro-
prietors will crowd its completion to a
rapid finish.
The inside finish is not thoroughly
agreed upon as yet, but the idea is con-
veyed in the above.

The second snow storm of the season APP
pears to be upon us. During the forenoon
yesterday the weather was variable, al
ternating between sunshine and snow
squalls, but towards night the beautiful
began to descend steadily and in earnest.
1t is still showing as we go to press. Most
Of the frost had disappeared from the
ground before this second visitation-and
It follows as a matter Of course that we are
to have a season Of bad roads. The heavy,
muddy roads will be bad for the stages
and coal and wood teams during the next

Holiday Goods.

Davidson at the Postoffice received his
stock Of fine holiday goods on Tuesday.
Yesterday his place was thronged all day
with parties looking and buying. Among
the various articles suitable for holiday
presents we noticed photograph albums,
scrap albums, fine gold pens, fancy ink
stands, autograph albums, etc. The stock
of toys is probably the finest ever brought
to Eureka, and embraces all the latest and
best in that line; also, sleds, rocking
horses, swing-chairs, and thousands Of
articles we cannot enumerate. Santa
Claus will make his headquarters at his
place.
