Heavy Mining Sale.

Says the Times-Review: The mines in
Centennial District-nineteen in number
have, we are reliable informed, at length
been sold, and the purchase money
81, 200, 0O--deposited. These mines en-
brace some Of the best properties in the
northern end Of the county. Many OF them
have been prospected for two or three
years, and from the accounts we have re-
ceived of them, it is safe to say that Centen-
NAL will, in the near future, prove to be one
of the best bullion producing districts north
Of the railroad. The new company-organ-
lied in Chicago-expect to commence work
about the first OF June. A number Of Tus-
carora prospectors will be benefited by this
sale, having spent their all in developing
claims, which further work will doubtless
prove to be good mines. Messrs. A.. D.
Meacham and 8. B. Morrey who made the
sale, are still in the East. but are expected
here by the time the company is ready to
commence operations.

The Blaine men Of Eureka were deci-

Of delegates. The SENTINEL's disinter-
ested advice to them is, to stay away. The

How q Woman Defended Her Prop

How q Woman Defended Her Prop
erty-Times In General.
Candelaria, says the Bodie Free Press,
always was a lively place when it came to
good square fights with six shooters and
the drinking Of whisky. The present min
ing excitement has made things still more
interesting, and when there are no mining
experts or missionaries about the "boys''
have little disputes Of their own, which are
settled in the old way. A few days ago an
attempt was made to jump a lot belonging
to a Mrs. Longstreet, but the woman threw
off the f~railties Of womanhood for a short
time and retained possession Of the prop
erty. Ten or q dozen men went onto the
lot and began to measure it off, prepare
tory to fencing IL in and holding it. The
woman's husband saw the crowd, but fear
ing that there were too manyi in opposition,
made no effort to hold it, but went home
and told his wife. She made o gallant
charge on the intruders, with shotgun in
hand. They were completely routed. She
followed the leader of the gang to a saloon,
and there abused him in the strongest
terms, and dared him, if he had a spark Of
manhood or courage, 70 step into the street
and settle the grave insult. But he re-
fused. She then grabbed him by the col
lar, and was about to reduce him to a state
of perfect inutility, when bystanders inter-
fered. Mrs. Longstreet is now " chief"
and none are 30 proud as not to do her
reverence.
There are at present about 400 men at
