OF INTEREST TO MINERS.
The Time when Animal Assessment
Work Shall Re Performed.

Prior to the passage by Congress Of what
is known as the mining law Of 1862, the
miners OF the several districts made rules
and regulations for locating, recording and
doing assessment work ON the mines OF the
respective districts. The Congressional
law made it obligatory on all mine-owners
to perform a certain mount Of labor an
nually ON each claim located, but omitted
to state when the assessment year began.
This caused disputes among miners and re-
suited in litigation, when the mines in dis
pute were supposed to be valuable. Some
held that on claims located prior to the
passage Of the Act of 1862, the assessment
year expired on the 31st day Of December
since the passage Of that Act, the year ex-
pired twelve months from the date Of their
location. The law Of Congress specified
no particular time when the claim should
be recorded or work done.
Now, all disputes as to the time the as
sessment year ends are settled by an amend
ment to Section 2,S24 OF the Revised Stat
utes OF the United States. That amend
ment provides, THAT the period within
which the work required to be done annu-
ally on ali ~unpatented mineral claims shall
on the LIST day Of January sue
ceeding the date OF location Of such claim.
and this section shall apply to all claims
located since the 10th day Of May, A. D.
1872" The amendment evidently means
that il a mining claim is located at any
time after the LIST OF January of each year,
the ~locators have until the 1st of January,
following, to make the expenditure on the
claim required by the Act Of 1862. The
local laws Of many mining districts require
q certain amount Of work to be done on
newly located claims within thirty or sixty
days from the date Of location. and prob
ably the Courts will have to determine
whether such laws are in conflict with the
Act just passed by Congress. The law of
Congress, however, being the supreme au-
thority would seem to take precedence over
any mere local regulation. The above
explanation is given in answer to nu-
merous inquiries addressed to this Office
by miners and mining men.

POSTAL PERPLExITIEs.
The Requirements of Red-tape Reg
ulatiOnss


ulatlOms.
There is not one man in ten thousand
who realizes the ~annoyances to which a
Postmaster in a town Of the size Of Eureka
is subjected. The miscellaneous paper
mail is the bane Of the P. Ms life. 1t is
seldom that a letter goes astray, but these
miscellaneous papers, with their poor
wrappings and illegible directions, fire.
quently come up missing. II Mrs. John
Jones sends Mr.. John Jones a copy of the
Bugle of Freedom, from the uttermost end
Of the earth, and writes her absent, but
beloved lord, that she has mailed him the
aforesaid Bugle of a certain date, possibly
containing q notice of a death or birth, full
particulars of which she also gives in her
letter, John will never sleep a wink until
he gets that paper, or knows the reason why
he does moi get it. Some Of the old coun-
try people register packages OF newspapers.
A SENTINEL reporter witnessed a scene
in the Postofice yesterday. John Jones
was there. Postmaster Smith had notified
AAAAA bhlOu6A III PICbo v N"AA nv nv 1
Office on important business. His sigma
ture was wanted to a ponderous life-policy
looking document from Washington. Mr..
Jones had failed to get a bundle of worth
less papers, now six months old. ''Tracers'
had been sent through, all the way from
Berlin, to know what had become Of it.
Not one +" tracer" but several. If the re-
porter understood Mr.. Jones correctly,
this was the third red-tape ordeal Of a sim
liar nature he had been called upon to un-
dergo. Each trip had involved the loss Of
8 days work. But the last document was
the king-pin of them all. 1t was the grand
finale, the crusher, the eliminating point
when the Government, in its power and
majesty, had resolved to dig up those old
papers, or inaugurate a bloody foreign war.
Jones was required 10 answer some thirty
odd questions with minute particularly.
His age, nativity, present residence, where
he had lived and where he expected to go,
all had to be explained on the margin of
the parchment opposite the printed ques-
tions. Jones tackled the task, while Post
master Smith eyed him with fendish de-
light. There was q deal Of scratching and
blotting with q blunt pen. But finally the
end came, and with it a manifestation Of
disgust from Jones. He had signed his
name on every available spot in the body
of the document. There was two inches
Of u~nappropriated space at the bottom. On
this he plastered in great, bold John Han
cock letters "Damn those old papers (;
let 'em go to h-ll," and once more socked
down "John Jones'" Through the sacri-
fee of Mr.. Jones war may be averted.
Postmaster Smith enclosed the voluminous
statement in q two-foot envelope, branded
on one corner in big red letters, "Impor-
tant official business" and addressed it to
the Forty-second Assistant Postmaster Gen.

The Complimentary nenent.

The citizens Of Eureka, with their accus-
toned liberality, have come forward at the
proper moment, and rendered q compli-
mentary benefit to the members of the
late Captain Jack Combination, who have
been left in this city by their managers
without salaries or the means OF reaching
home. Saturday night is chosen for the
occasion, and the company, with the kind
assistance Of a few Of our amateurs, have
determined to present the popular and sen.
sational drama, entitled, 1.-The Ticket Of
Leave Man." in a manner that will please
their patrons and reflect credit upon them
selves. A glance at the names attached to
the address in which the benefit is proffered
is a sufficient guarantee that the object is
a worthy one, and if our public respond in
their usual manner a bumper Is insured.
The lady and gentlemen of the company
have, by their social and genial manners,
already made a large circle Of friends, who
sincerely sympathize with them in their
dilemma, and will exert themselves to the
utmost to help extrioate them from 1t.

An Afrable Gentleman and a Thor.
Oughly Competent Miner.

Oughly Competent Miner.
By the sale of the X K, it is more than
likely that the gentleman whose name ap-
pears above will be lost to this community.
That the loss is one that will be sincerely
regretted by all who have enjoyed the ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Porter, does not admit
Of a doubt. During the years of his resi-
denee in Eureka, by his straightforward,
~unassuming and affable department, he
has won hosts Of true friends among our
people, whose good wishes will follow him
wherever he may go. Besides being an ac-
complished gentleman in the broader and
better sense of these terms, Mr.. Porter is q
most trustworthy business man, and a
thoroughly competent miner. No better
or more intelligent work has been done in
any mine on the coast, than has been ac-
complished by Superintendent Porter in
the X X. His achievement in Kidding this
mine of a perfect deluge Of water, deserves
to place him in the very first rank Of sue
successful mine managers. The SENTINEL
learns that Mr.. Porter may possibly locate
in Colorado, he having been rendered the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of a mine in that State.
He departs tomorrow morning for San
Francisco, to close up his affairs with the
X X Company, returning to Eureka in
about ten days. Until he takes his final
leave the SENTINEL will reserve its "good-
tva

Accidental Shot.

Master Smith, a lad Of nine summers,
while playing with an old pistol yesterday
received a ball in the thigh, inficting a
painful flesh wound. The little fellow
showed true grit, and came down to Doctor
De La Matyr to have it cut out, without
saying a word to his mother about the &C.
currence. The Doctor extracted the ball,
and Causey took the youth home on his
dray. Before departing he offered the
Doctor a dollar for his surgical services,
saying that he would pay the balance at an
early day. That ~youngster has the cool
ness and nerve to make his way through
the world without much trouble.

FROM WELLS TO CHERRY CREEK
Notes Of Recent Trip Through that
section Of the state.

section Of the state.
A correspondent who recently made the
trip from Wells station, or the Central Pa
cifc, to Cherry Creek, furnishes the fol-
lowing notes of interest regardizg what he
saw
At sprucemont, so miles from Wells sta
ton and 1000 feet above the sea, we found
evidence Of great engineering skill and
financial disaster. Some one, VINO mad me
money Of others to spend, had erected a
large blast furnace and engine, such as is
used in Pennsylvania to smelt iron. to re-
duce the lead ores of the camp. The en-
CINE is powerful enough to run a steam
ship, and gives a high-pressure blast strong
enough to blow lead ore out OF the top of
the cupalo, and, consequently, very little
came out below. Miners are thankful that
it is now idle. With o capacity OF 50 tons
a day, to please the stockholders, and q
supply of scarcely five tons, 1t is not sur
prising that it soon run out OF ore. The
concern is $500, 900 behind, and is now re-
organizing for a new deal.
Sprucemont is a picturesque town, with
a public square and some fifty houses and
stores, several hotels and saloons, and seven
inhabitants. It is q deserted village a
monument of exaggerated hopes and in
competency. But there are, no doubt,
some good claims there, worthy of develop
ment. The few devoted men who remain,
have faith, and mines to sell.
Fifty miles further south, near Eagan
canyon, the town Of Cherry Greek is the
present terminus Of the stage route, and
has the usual heterogeneous frontier popu-
lation of miners and mill men. 1t has the
dignity Of an express Office, from whence
bars of bullion are thrown into the bottom
Of the jerky, to break the legs Of passen-
gers when they are overturned. Here, we
find the Star mine, and mill of 20 stamps,
in active operation. The ore is roasted,
and is said to yield $50 and $75 per ton,
and an aggregate product Of $4,000 a
month.
Beyond, on the same range, is the Ex-
change, formerly the Exchequer, a silver
mine, now idle, but soon to be started into
active work, with a six-stamp mill near by.

WALKERS NEW TROUPE.

The Theatre Comique opened to full
house last night with an entire change in
the programme and brand new company.
Billy Milton, who is an excellent comedian,
full of humor and originality, is the only
remaining member of the old troupe. The
new faces are all good, especially little Gay,
Alice and Fisher Elliott, Lew Rainford
and Dollie Chapman, The manager has
succeeded in bringing together this week
one Of the strongest companies that has yet
appeared at the Comique. The change will
prove big card through the week.
The Introductory is first class, full
of spirit and novelties and celebrated with
abundance of witticisms and Irish jokes
The oio brings out the entire strength Of the

features on what is, taken all in all, the

The Turner's masquerade ball last
night was as complete success as their
balls have always been in years gone by.
Their efforts were well rewarded by large
attendance and the uninterrupted pleasure
of their guests. No unpleasant occurrences
took place to mar in the least the general
good feeling, which prevailed from begin
ming to end. Dancing began at an carly
hour and lasted until an early hour tins
morning. The company was select, no one
being allowed to enter the hall without
having first unmasked before committee,
hence everybody was confident that, though
they knew not with whom they were dane
ing yet they were not running the risk OF
choosing unworthy partners. The affair
was well managed by the gentlemen who
had it in hand, and there can be no doubt
that the participants felt themselves amply
repaid for the loss of sleep during the night
and the gain Of a little headache, etc, dur
ing th-day. The Turner's deserve the pa
tronage they received and always will re-
ceive whenever they institute similar oppor-
tunites for amusement. There were pres
