Saturdays Phoebe Record has the follow
ing items from Bristol
A certain party here has purchased the
controlling interest in the different mining
properties at Silver King District, better
known as "Heuss," situated some twenty
miles from here, and several men have
been placed there at work. 1t is the inten-
ton to prosecute the developments and
place them on a sound working basis. This
done, then it will not be long before Silver
King will come into prominence as a lively
mining district.
A portion OF the mill and machinery for
the Bristol Silver Mining Company arrived
this week and unloaded ON the mill site
above town. Two large boilers and one
engine have not yet been shipped from the
terminus. The company have made ar
rangements with parties here to have them
in Bristol inside of a few weeks.
Two teams, laden with merchandise for
j. N. Curtis, are now overdue here thirty
days. A telegram received from the Utah
Forwarding Company says they are lost, no
trace Of them being heard of since leaving
for their destination.
At present there is more prospecting be-
ing lone arouad Bristol than at any former
period. The many different claims are be-
ing opened, and the majority are showing
up well.
A telegram was forwarded from here,
signed by all our prominent residents,
against the cutting down Of our daily mail
to that of a weekly.

A Few Not Of Correction.
One day last week the SENTINEL pub
lished q letter, from a correspondent at
Typo, giving an account Of a recent lite
rary entertainment at that place. Now, the
said correspondent writes a regular Horace
Greeley hand, and it 4 is more than probable
that we got the whole thing pretty badly
mixed, particularly as to the names. A
gentleman, who drives a John Hancock
quill, sends us the following notes Of cor
%rection, and we have no doubt that OBJ
server" will accept them as the proper thing
to be said
TYPO, New, March 5, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL: In your issue Of the
Sd instant appears a communication from
Observer, of this place, relating to a recent
entertainment given by the Typo Literary
Society, in which are several glaring mis-
kes-doubtless unintentional-which, by
your leave, / will correct. As an elocu-
ZIONIST Mrs. S. c. Whitmore has no equal
in our society, but our queen Of song is
Miss Lois Gum, and not Mrs. Whitmore.
Mr.. j. w. Gum enjoys the distinction Of
being a "real actor" instead of j. w.

truly, A MEMBER.

our MINES.
what an Old Miner Says OF the
OufnOOk.

We we're conversing yesterday with .
friend, who is a practical miner. on the
subject Of the outlook OF the mines
of this district, and found that he
was very sanguine as to their richness
and permaneDcy. The mines on Prospect
Mountain stand high in his estimation. and
he was in ecstacies while speaking Of those
Of Ruby Hill. To use his W language:
+" The mines look spcndidly on Ruby Hill.
The Richmond seems to take the lead at
present, and is now the richest mine ever
seen in this part Of the country. The
company nave an immense body Of ore, and
besides working on that, are doing a good
deal of judicious prospecting. l had NJ
idea that this mineral belt was so rich, and
I believe that the mines Of Eureka District
will soon take the lead Of all others on the
coast" The mines on Adams Hill con-
tinue to look very promising, and as they
are situated on the main mineral belt,
they will, nc doubt, prove to be very valu-
able. Among these are the Racine, the Bel
mont and Oriental Consolidated mines.
These mines are old locations. and have
yielded. at various times, considerable
quantities Of high grade ore.

The San Francisco papers at last seem to
have adopted the true polics to circumvent
Kearney. They will ignore him in the flu
ture. The Press made Kearney all he is by
devoting so much space to his violent ut
terances. They can unmske him by let
ting him severely alone. The Bay papers
arriving here during the last few days have
been as silent as the tomb about the sand
lot. Kearney will not make much headway
without extensive advertising.
