ST. DAVID NO. 2.
A Communication from Mr.. Richard
Touching the . Suit Against
the Albion.

A Communication from Mr.. Rickard
Touching the New Suit Against
the Albion.
EDITOR SENTrNEL-In your issue Of the
25th instant, you give what purports to
be a statement OF facts In relation to the
suit commenced by myself on the oath,
against the Albion Consolidated Mining
Company ct al.
Now / do not wish to try the case
through the newspapers, but your article
contains SO many mistakes that 1 wish you,
in justice to myself, to state the real facts.
The "St. David" No. 2 does not stretch
across the Albion claim. 1t crosses the
"Uncle Sam" ground to tbs northwest
ward, a claim l believe owned by the AL
bion Company, but the ground which the
ore in dispute was found, is not on the
"Uncle Sam" and has never, so far as I
know, been claimed by the Albion Com
pany before. 1t is certainly not under
either of the Albion Company's claims ; it
is in ground located by the Richmond
Company in 1877, and relocated by me on
the 5th day of May last upon the discovery
of a body Of ore Immediately over the ore
body in dispute.
That this ground was located by the
Richmond Company long before either Of
the Albion claims were located is notori-
GUS. That the s'Uncle Sam" does not COW
err any portion Of the ground enjoined, is
equally well known.
In conclusion permit me to say that l
await the developments of the technical
points upon which the adverse claimants,
whoever they be, expect to defeat my
claim. r, RICHARD.

SYMPATHY FOR EUREKA.
The "Reveille" thinks We should
Have Accepted outside Aid.

Says the Reveille Expressions Of SYM
pathy for the sufferers in the fire at Eu-
reka, by our exchanges, come with each
mail, and there is but little DON for doubt
but that, II the people Of the Inflated city
would accept outside aid, much money and
many useful articles would be collected
and sent them. But they seem determined
not TO accept any help whatever from
persons living outside Of Eureka, and
kindly but firmly refuse all such offers.
Why they should refuse to accept volun-
tary contributions we cannot see. There
would certainly be no disgrace in being the
recipients OF as much help as they could
get, and whatever was given the sufferers
would be donated cheerfully and heartily.
Virginia City, at the time OF the disastrous
co~nfiagration there, did not hesitate to ac-
cept outside aid, and material help was
soon forthcoming to enable the sufferers Of
the stricken town to once again regain their
feet and start on the road to prosperity and
wealth. And no one thought the less Of
the city or its inhabitants because they did
so. Even Chicago, q great and mighty
city, when devastated by the fire tiend.
was not at all backward in accepting such
contributions as were sent from all parts
Of the Union /; and carload after carload
we might even say train after train-of
food and almost everything else needed by
the sufferers. went from this Coast alone
to relieve the needy and oppressed Of that
city. The world counted It no disgrace to
Chicago to accept the aid SO freely and so
generously volunteered from the thousands
OF s~ympathizing people on the Pacific
Coast, as well as elsewhere all over the
broad land, and that she was materially
benefited by such help no one will attempt
to deny. People who had lost their all re-
ceived a little something to sustain them
until they were again in a position to help
themselves, and much suffering was avoid
ed among the stricken people by the gem
erous offerings forwarded to them. OF
course, the Eurekans are the best judges
as to their own action in the matter, and il
they choose to refuse all aid from other
cities and towns, ii is nobody's business
but their own and while we cannot but
admire the pluck and grit displayed. we
think q little extraneous help would not
hurt them greatly at the present time.

BISHOPS
The Plan of Campaign in Eureka
County.


Col. W. w. Bishop, Of Eureka, is a re-
cognized leader of the Republican party in
Nevada. He was one OF the Presidential
Electors four yeara ago, and is unques-
tionably the best stumper belonging to
that party in this State. The Colonel made
at least one very frank speech before the
late Republican State Convention at Car
son. 1t is hardly necessary to say that
his remarks we're roundly applauded by the
Convention. He told about the population
Of Eureka, and how it is proposed to carry
this county for the Republican ticket at
the coming election this fall. Here is
what he said about our mixed population,
and how the Republican managers propose
to sweep things with the sack" on cleo
ton day. 1t is claimed that the Colonel's
exact language was taken down by several
reporters in the Convention. This is the
language attributed 10 him
1--WE have two hundred OF a Republican
gain in Eureka county-ffty by natural
process and n hundred and fifty by pur-
chase. Our population consists Of Ital-
ians, Cornishmen, Irishmen and such like,
with q few Americans. We intend to can
vass every man in the county, and find out
how many votes we need, and then buy the
required number. We can get all the
Democratic votes we want for SIS a piece.

The Alexander Mime.

The Belmont Courier Of the 21st says |:
The Alexander mine, at Grantsville, is one
Of the biggest in the country. The noun
tain seems to be nothing but ore. A ledge.
measuring over 450 feet in width and pros
pected to a depth Of 600 feet, is surely a
bonanza for any camp. In all the levels
the ore is Of the same extent and charac-
ter, and the indications are favorable for
its going to a great depth. Two expert
enced engineers have just made a careful
measurement, by actual survey, Of the ore
in sight in the Alexander mine, with the
following result After ~deducting me-
third Of the ore for waste, from the re-
naming two-thirds deducting two-thirds
for expenses of mining, milling and pros
pecting although one-half Of the amount
was deemed q liberal estimate, they COM
puted the remaining one-third Of two
thirds at S31 per ton, giving as net profit
the sum of $4S, 000, 900. Estimating the
expenses at only one-half Of the two-thirds,
the net amounted to S72, GOO, 900. This
only for ore in sight, while the ore is fast
improving in grade and widening into i'm
mensity below.

THE PERIL OF A MINER.
HRirbreadth Escape from Instant
Death.

From the Calaveras chronicle.l
One Of those thrilling episodes that oc-
~casionally enter into the life Of a miner
and illustrate its perils, occurred in the
Wallace and Ferguson mine at Sheep
Ranch. The shaft has two compartments,
and is 400 feet deep. Both compartments
are used for hosting purposes, signal bells
being utilized to enable the engineer to
distinguish between the divisions of the
shaft. One day last week three men went
down in the bucket, their destination be-
ing the 200 level. One of the trio, Thomas
Taggert, got into the bucket, while the
other two stood on its top and held on by
the cable-the usual way" Arriving at
the 2O0-foot station the men stepped off
into the level. and Tagget had got partly
out of the bucket when the bell in the
other compartment gave the signal to
hoist. The engineer mistook the signal
and hoisted in the compartment which the
men had just gone down. Taggert was in
the act of getting out of the bucket-had
| one leg out and one in, in fact-when the
latter started up the shaft. The bucket,
| with Taggert hanging to it, had proceeded
but a few feet when it tipped over, percipi-
| tating the unfortunate man headlong down
| the shaft. At the moment of falling in
utter desperation, as q drowning man
| grasps at a straw-Taggert caught at the
rocky wall of the shaft with his hands.
| By a miracle of good fortune, one of his
wrists lodged in a wedge-shaped interstice
in the side of the shaft, and Taggert hung
by one srm, suspended in mid-air with 200
feet OF space beneath him. No one can
have the ~faintest conception of the unut-
terable horror of such position. Envel-
| oped in impenetrable darkness, suspended
| by one arm over an abyss that invited him
to certain death il his frail support should
| give way, and alive to the knowledge that
the descending bucket might p~recipitate
such a catastrophe. Taggert's situation was
so inexpressibly horrible that its contem-
| plation makes one shudder. Luckily, how
ever, his comrade comprehended the situa-
| ton Of affairs, and by acting promptly
prevented a tragic ending of the accident.
Taggert was released from his perilous po-
| sition, escaping any more serious injury
than a severe strain Of his physical system
and mental faculties.

EUREKA MINES in LONDON.
Some Mention of the Richmond and
Ruby.Dunderberg.

The London Mining Journal Of August
It'll is at hand. 1t contains the following
reference to Eureka mines:
RUBY-DUNDERBERG.
The shareholders in this company may
be congratulated upon the very interesting
announcement contained in the weekly tel
egram published in another column. 1t
is stated that ''the discovery of ore alluded
to in the 500-foot level is a feature of great
Importance that the public should be re-
minded of the prospects it opens out. The
information contained in the official tcle-
gram has been subsequently more than
confirmed from various private sources.
The strike of ore mentioned is in the 300
foot level, in a drift running parallel to
the old workings in the Dunderberg and
Atlas ground. This drift is in entirely un-
broken ground, and adjoins the immense
chambers of ore from which the parties
previously in possession of the property
obtained about $3.50, 900 net profit. The
old workings were to the east Of the dis
covery just made. 1t is fortunate that the
company regained possession Of its prop
erty when it did, otherwise the riches
prominent in this new discovery would
have also been lost to it. Advices from
well-informed quarters state that this new
ore body is % feet is length, and 500 feet
high; the width not ascertained. The
other workings of the mines are steadily
progressing, and the drift towards the
Home Ticket is now in Al feet, and high
grade ore punches are constantly being en-
countered. The property is being skillful-
ly and energetically worked, and the Di-
r~ectors, it is stated, are selecting gentle
men Of great experience to conduct their
smelling operations in Eureka. With the
saving which will thus be effected, and
having regard to the vast ore at
the disposition of this company, there
seems to be no reason why q dividend
should not ere long be declared.
CON.
The usual telegram from the mines at
Eureka, Nevada, states that the weeks run
