The FInest Set.tO Of the Season..
Things were warm in the District Attor-
ney's Office for a time yesterday. Commits
%sioners, attorneys, advisory committe men,
contractors, reporters, and a fair sprink-
ling OF outside taxpayers were there to
witness the opening Of the bids for the
completion Of the Courthouse. The bids
had been read, and the Commissioner had
decided to take a recess for one hour. All
present then joined in a general discussion
about building, bids, bonds, etc. Finally
Mr.. r. p. Dimock and Mr.. NJ. d. Foley
became slightly personal in their remarks.
Foley said Dimock didn't know anything
about building, anyhow, and Dimock re-
torted by calling Foley a liar. Then Foley
led off with his right, and caromed on the
chimney Of District Attorney Merrill's
student lamp. From this time on the dis
cussion grew more and more interesting.
The men clinched and tugged away
at each other for dear life. Dick
Ryland wanted a fair and square fight
and shouted to the spectators to stand
back. Ex-Congressman Wren desired that
hostilities should cease, and waltzed in as
q peace-maker. r. Sadler concealed him.

Hon. George W. Baker was found on top
Of a bookcase. Deputy County Clerk Bell
is supposed to have escaped through the
keyhole. The Advisory Committee perched
On the backs Of chairs, and the District At
torney took refuge behind the stove. The
Commissioners retired for lunch and con-
sultation. At this interesting juncture the
SENTINEL reporter suddenly remembered
that he had business at McGarry, and he
went. Thus matters stood when the san
culinary struggle vas brought to an end by
the vigorous interference of Uncle John
Horn and Contractor HOLSTER. Damage,

1t will be remembered that f. A. Hymers

ers in st. Louis, who telegraphed to have
the body embalmed preparatory for ship
ment East. Undertaken G. w. Sehwamb
complied with the telegram, placing the
remains in q metallic case. For some rea-
son the st. Louis brothers failed to have
the remains forwarded for the present.
Mr.. Schwamb, needing the room for his
furniture business, and at the request Of
Mrs. Hymers, yesterday proceeded to inter
the body in the Eureka Cemetery. The
case was opened and the deceased found to
look as well and natural as when placed in

stated that one Of the st. Louis brothers
will shortly visit Eureka, when it is ex-
pected that the remains willsbe taken East

High Art i'm Pictorial Weather.
Mr.. A. M. Welles, barometer sharp. has
favored us with q view Of the weather con-
| ditions during the last month, and shown
q picture thereof. 1t struck us that the
zigzag, crooked ines and black blots evil
denced a lameutable effect Of high altitude,
or bad whisky, at the Survey headquarters;
yet we we're assured they meant business.
Let us analyze the chart. A black line
said to represent barometer travels-starts
from high water line on the first OF the
month, and with gentle pace comes Down
hill until the 18th; then, under influence
OF q heavy snow fall of eight inches, bounds
up as though fearing freezing, and trots for
sea level mark. Two days OF unrest and
down it goes again, and then, as q festive
mustang, with q Pine bur under the cinch
bucks along through the balance Of the
month.
There is a red line an d a black line jog
ging along side by side, up and down each
day, evidently partners. We thought them
indicating the life Of q man and wife NOV
ing with p~raiseworthy humility; not so, we
are told. They are the results Of humility,
that is, humidity OF the atmosphere, or
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES help the mark
We are confident that the range Of tenn

remarkably acute until our attention was
called to the pretty, sharp, scarlet streak
upon this weather map. Now We admit the
fact.
Now then. appears a cross section Of

The Opening of the Bids Yessera.,

b Opening of the Bids Yesterday.
Yesterday was the day, and 10 O'Clock A.
N. the hour named in the advertisement
for the opening Of the bids for the compile
ton Of the Court-House. All hands were
a little behind, and it was nearly II O'Clock
before the Board got to business. There
was some talk that bids could not be legally
received, as the hour appointed had gone
by. District Attorney Merrill remarked
that among the legal fraternity it was al
ways 10 until it was IL o'clock. This set
tied the point, and the Board proceeded to
the consideration Of the bids on hand, two
in number. The first read was from r.
Sadler, M. D. Foley, John s. Capron, Geo.
w. Baker, John Horn and J. VANDERBILT,
offering to do the work by June LIST for
$21 900; or. if given until August LIST,
$40, 260. The next was that OF Mr.. George
f. Costerison, the well known architect,
who proposed to complete the building on
schedule time for S14,440. Before the
reading Of this bid had been finished Mr..
I. X. P. Dimmock appeared and offered a
bid. Objection was made, and the Board
sustained the objection on the ground that
other bids had been read. Mr.. Dimmock
stated that Commissioner Campbell in
formed him earlier in the morning that they
would probably not reach the opening Of
bids before l Z o'clock, as they had other bus
mess to transact. Commissioner Camp
bell said Mr.. Dimmock misunderstood him.
Messrs. Godfrey Il Mcmillan also offered q
bid after time, but withdrew it when Mr..
Dimmock's was ruled out. Dimmock, how
ever, insisted on his bid being filed, and the
Clerk took charge OF it.
No bond accompanied the bid of Sadler
Il Co. Mr.. Costerison's bond contained
the names Of M. b. Bartlett, Richard Ry-
land. and Charles Lautenschlager, each
qualifying in the sum OF SO, 900.
The Board adjourned until 1 o'clock,
but on Resembling transacted no bust
ness. They will wrestle with the question
again this morning, meeting at 10 o'clock
for that purpose.

The Raymond 4 Ely mill, at Phoebe, has
been changed from q wet to a dry crusher.
This admits OF a certain class Of ore being
roasted, Of which there is an abundant sup
ply in the mine, aud which could not be
successfully treated by the wet process.
The rooster went into operation last week,
and is said to be working satisfactorily.
The change, it is thought, will be highly
beneficial to Phoebe, and a great revival OF
business is confidently expected. TIT

speedily realize their fondest ansicipations.

the old furnace has proven to be a bonanza
to the Hillside Company; over $40, 900 in
bullion has already been taken out and
melted into bars, and there is in sight about
81. 900. 1t is thought that some $24, 900 in
all will be taken out.
