-
The number of fine steamships of the West
India Line of the Hamburg Amerioan Packet
Company has been Increased By a new iron
screw steamer, bearing the name OF HoIsat'a: I
The vessel has been built 10 Hamburg on the
"Rsicherstieg -Sbip-Yards" and arrived here on
her first trip on the 10th instant; l5 days from
Havre.
She is a cargo boat in the style of the other
steamships of che Company, but about goo tons
larger, her register being 1898 tons besides
she has accommodation for q few LIST class
passengers.
A novel and very remarkable feature OF the
ship are her TIVE electric lights, ooust ruoted for
the purpose OF Illuminating the deck and sides
of the steamer, when d~ischargiug or loading
dnring the night one of toe lights has been
burning during the last two nights and, 10
doubt, attracted toe attention OF persons on
shore by its uncommon brightness.
Each of the two lights is produced by q dy-
namo.electric machine, manufactured, together
with all the appurtenaHces, ia the renowned es.

receipts Of the government, as shown by the
Comptroller's report, Lave been greatly
augmented during the first year Of the adj

increase Of burdens was

There is much depending upon the work
being done in the Titus mine. All about
this property are locations in which many
OF our citizens are interested. They
look for Mr.. Atkinson, the Williamsburg
folks or the Titus Company to make things
lively in their camp ere long. Everybody
knows that the Williamsburg has a large
quantity Of ore-low grade-and that Mr..
Atkinson is prospecting, with good indi-
cations and some ore. We were told that
the Titus folks yesterday afternoon cut a
stringer OF fair assaying ore, and they are
not near the ground where they expected
to tap the ore vein. The striking of a
good ore body in the Titus would help
that immediate section Of our district, be-
cause it would induce the expenditure Of
large sums which are now in the pockets
Of Eastern capitalists, but who only need
q showing for o return Of their capital,
with interest, to make them put up.

Its Business and General Prospects.

~ OGMtEAN EFO8Ue6I8
Typo, December 81, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL In the absence Of q
paper at this place, 1 drop a few lines to
you in reference to the business prospects
Of this camp.
The mill has been running steadily for
eighteen months on ores produced from
the Typo mine. This is a showing made
by few mines in the State; a twenty-stamp
mill paying all expenses from the start,
yielding a profit to the operators. The
success is doubtless due to economical
management, and the fact that it is man.
aged with the same attention that Q man
should devote to his individual business.
When more mining operations are run in
the same w&y. Nevada's chief industry will
be much improved.
The bullion product for the year ending
Dec. LIST, 1880, was $201, 1887. 10. Sixty-fve
men are employed in the mill and mine, and
some twenty-five more on the outside. We
have a very small surplus population;
another good feature.
Typo supports one general merchandise,
one grocery and variety store, two smith
shops, four saloons, one brewery, one
livery stable, one butcher shop, one res
t%aurant, one barber shop, and an ex-
press and a postofice. There is a public
school and a literary society Of four years
continued existence. The citizens of Typo
are generally sober, industrious, and we'll
informed. Though this showing is not
what Typo once made, it is certainly q
substantial one, during the general dull
times in Southeastern Nevada.

A Dirty Mess OF sprarue.

A petition has been filed in Washington
county, Rhode Island, by Catherine Chase
Sprague, praying for a divorce from Will
lam Sprague, on grounds Of adultery and
other m~isbehavior, and neglect to provide.
Ex-Governor Sprague has been for some
time converting Canonchet into a fortifca-
ton, with armed patrols. The Sheriff con-
s%equently refused to serve a writ of re-
plevin for Mrs. ~Sprague's clothing. She
charges in her bill that he has repeatedly
informed her children that he was not
their father; that he has attempted to drag
her to the upper story window and throw
her therefrom; that in q drunken lark he
made a bonfire Of the bedding on the floor;
that he frequently attempted criminal in
tercourse with the servants of the guests,
causing them to leave the house; that he
has allowed their only son to contract bad
habits. She prays alimony and custody of
four children. The Governor was greatly
excited when the bill was read to him, and
will doubtless file a counter petition alleg.
ing adultery, desertion and extravaganza.

Cnarc0nh anu Ore DfsappeartuE.
Owing to the slippery condition Of tn,
canyon roads Leading to the Dunderberf
mine, the teams have not been able to keel
up the supply Of ore for the Atlas furnace
Gradually the reserve ore has been disap.
pearing, until one bin is almost entirely
empty.
The charcoal bin, however, is fast filling
up. Yesterday John Tore unloaded six
wagon-loads Of coal for the Atlas Com
pany and three for the Richmond Com
pany.
Bullion about the Atlas furnace is being
ricked up until it assumes almost a pro-
portionate bulk to the lead-pile of the
Richmond Company.
No shipments of bullion have been made
as yet from the Atlas, though refinery tests
have been made of the quality the furnace
is daily producing. 1t Is understood to be
satisfactory.
We are told that there is no danger of .
let-up in the running OF the furnaces this
winter, as there is any amount Of ore at
the mine, and there are plenty Of teams to
haul the same.
