MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Richard Charnock is taking out some
very high-grade ore from the North Star
mine, in Spring Valley District, and will
commence shipping the same as soon as
teams can get through the valley. In 1869
there were several shipments made by bull
teams to Austin from this mine, which
yielded the owners S377 per ton, after pay
ing expenses of hauling and reduction.
The ore body in the Grant mine improves
in extent and richness, as greater depth is
reached. The lessees are now working -four
men and intend increasing their force next
week, as soon as they have room to raise
the ore to the dump.
The owners OF the Atlantic a Pacific in
tend to let a contract to run their tunnel,
next month, and will continue the work
without intermission during the summer.
There will be a larger number OF mines
worked throughout the District during the
next six months, than have been any sea-
son since Eureka wal discovered.
1t is rumored that Frank Way has struck
a big bonanza in Fish Greek District.
John Erickson's teams haul
ing ore from the Grant tomorrow.

CANDELARIA.
A Reese River Man Pronounces Ii
a Great Place.

The SENTINEL published a letter the
other day giving Candelaria a black eye.
Now here is a statement on the other side.
This journal proposes to do precisely the
fair thing. Says the Austin Reveille !:
mike Ryan, of Reese River, who has just
returned from a trip to the new town Of
Candelaria, in Esmeralda county, reports
it the ~liveliest camp he ever aw. Money
is plentiful and work is abundant, but the
prices Of the necessaries Of life are fright
fully high, to say nothing about the lux
uries. Everybody appears to be there for
the purpose of making money, and, to use
a common expression, they stick it on
without mercy or regard for the purses Of
purchasers. They only charged Ryan two
dollars a night for stabling his horse, but
we suppose they fed the animal on ambro-
STA for that price, as hay can't be much over
three or four hundred dollars per ton.
Water has to be purchased at the rate of
about ten cents per gallon, consequently
the consumption of whisky and kindred
spirits is enormous"

A PROMISING STRIKE.
Found at n New Point ON the
Phil Sheridan.

fnll Sner1uAns
The Phil Sheridan is located south Of the
quartzite and Immediately beyond the
Eureka Consolidated. II is owned by W.
P. Haskell, J. S. Allen and Mr.. Hutchin-
son. The main shaft is down something
over $50 feet. Good ore was developed in
this shaft, and altogether the mine has
given great promise for the past six months.
Last week work was discontinued at this
point, but operations were begun at an
other place on the claim. There was a
spot that looked especially favorable, and
the boys concluded to sink on it. At a
depth Of 16 feet two feet Of splendid ore
was encountered, which speedily widened
TO four feet. 1t is excellent carbonate ore,
going as high as SITS to the ton. The
ledge seems to bs we'll defined, and the
owners appear sanguine that they have
struck on the top of what promises to be a
paying bonanza. The ledge is said to run
in the direction of Mccoy Hill. These
Developments back of the quartzite may
yet give rise to new theories regarding the
geological structure of Ruby Hill. 1t is
not improbable that some Of the theories
which have now the sanction Of law may
be knocked higher thar a kite in less than
q year. New and interesting features are
continually being disclosed in the mines Of
the district.

CARSON CORRESPONDENCE.
Maneuvering of h Grant and
Blaine Men at the Capital.

CARSON, April Goth, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL: In my memorandum
to you of yesterday, l noted that the
Blaineites had sent a committee to the
County Central Committee to ask for the
resembling of any Objectionable clause in
the proclamation for primaries, and pre-
dicted that there would be no resembling,
but the events of to-day give proof positive
that my prediction was not well taken, still
it was predicated upon the declarations Of
those who had prompted the Objectionable
clause and who had passed and proclaimed
it. In my estimate of the situation l neg
lected to consider the herculean efforts of
Secretary Lyons and General Edwards, but
as usual with outsiders, failed to notice the
important elements of strength. There
was bucking and stiff-leg jumping yester-
day, but about noon to-day a majority Of
the committee yielded, leaving a minority
bucking and squealing, and the Blaineites
jubilant and claiming an easy walk over
tomorrow. Large printed notices Of a
meeting of the Blaineites to be held at
Moore & Parker's Hall tonight, for the
purpose of receiving the report of their
committee, are being distributed. The
Grant stalwarts have pulled down the bars
so that the herd can enter unmolested, and
it seems that a fair opportunity will be
given tomorrow to test the strength of
Grant and Blaine at the capital city.

EUREKA MINES In LONDON.
Official Information from h Rich

The London Mining Journal Of April
10th was received last night. Concerning
the Richmond 1t has the following: The
usual telegram from the mines at Eureka
states that the weeks run was SIS, 900,
from 1,12s tons Of ore. During the week
the refinery produced dore bars to the value
Of SAT 900. The Manager March III re-
ports that the 200 main DRIFT has been ex-
tended four feet on the assure, that cross
cuts have been extended rs feet therefrom
in low-grade ore, and that a winze has
been started from this, the bottom of
which is in good ore. The chambers are
all looking we'll, and turning out the usual
quantity of ore. Connection has been
made between Nos. IL and Is chambers, all
the way in ore Of good quality; the dis
lance between these two points is $50 feet.
This last development greatly increases
the reserves Of ore. The furnaces ale in
good working order, and smelling large
quantities of ore. All the machinery,
both in the mine and smelling works, is
working smoothly.
Abiding to the by-Dunderberg the
Journal says; A very large business has

The Eureka papers had it that it was Mr..

the suit. Mr.. Button now writes that he

much as he has many friends and acquaint-
ances throughout the State, he would like

The great mines Of Leadville seem to be
tumbling one after another. The Little
Pitts was the first to show signs Of weaken
ing, and to weaken absolutely. Now the
celebrated Chrysolite, Of which Professor
Reyes is Superintendent. follows suit. On
the 21st instant the dividend Of the latter
unexpectedly fell off from 81 to so cents.
There is great CONSERVATION in the East
over the decline in the dividend, and the
stock has started on the down grade.
More than a month ago a gentleman just
out from New York informed the SENTINEL
that the Chrysolite was son it last legs"
and within ninety days the whole Colorado
bubble would explode. 1t seems that he
was not wide Of the mark. Meritorious
properties further west, about whose rich
ness and permanency there can be no
question, should now receive a share Of the
attention of the Eastern people. Senator
Spencer doubtless knew what he was talk
ing about when he told a SENTINEL re-
porter the other day that the boom would
hit Eureka about the middle Of July.

KEARNEY'S CASH.

Sixty Thousand from the Republic
cans Last Year.
The San Francisco Chronicle Of April
goth says: The statement Of Kearny's
counsel, that he was unable to pay his fine
Of 81, 900 was not Endorsed by Kearney
himself at the House Of Correction, nor is
it in accord with authentic reports con-
corning the pecuniary profit that his bust
ness of ''agitating" has brought him in.
Before the late W. s. O'Brien died, acting
entirely independent OF the firm, and being
enraged at an attack made on him by
Kearney on the first flush Of the ~latter's
prominence, he is said to nave dashed off a
check Of $4,000 for Kearney, saying
ssIt's cheaper to buy the --- than
bother with him p Kearney received $751;
900 during the gubernatorial campaign for
keeping White in the field. He received
from SIS, 900 to $40, 900 during the New
Constitution campaign for his apathy DUR
ing the last six weeks before election. In
fact, as nearly as can be estimated, his Pc
cuniary profits are in the vicinity Of
$50, 900. At the House of Correction,
when asked if he were able to pay his
81 900 fine, he answered evasively. AS no
Imprisonment excepting the six months
which formed a part Of his sentence. and
which began with his incarceration yester-
day. can be enforced until the fine is paid,
and as the collection of the amount must
be by civil process, the exact status of
Kearney as a capitalist becomes an inter-
esting question. The certainty is, however,
that his profitable career during the past
three years will very we'll permit him six
months rest and retirement. As soon as
the weather permits resumption of work
on the road and at the quarry, Kearney
will be set at labor with the rest.

THE SNOW In THE SIERRA.
A Depth of One Hundred and Fifty
Feet.

The annexed story, though tough it may
public: Next Summer, if some man from
Sierra county shall tell an Eastern tourist
that snow lay to the depth of $50 feet in his
section during the preceding Spring, the
Eastern man will think his informant lies.
But the Sierra man will tell the truth. On
the east fork of the Yuba, this week, a
snow-slide filled the river canyon to a
depth Of $50 feet. People who have never
lived in the Sierra Nevadas in the snowy
season cannot begin to realize the great
depth Of the snow in those mountains. In
winters not considered extraordinary in
point OF snowfall, the snow often covers
the ground from forty to fifty feet on a
level, and all the way from seventy-fve to
one hundred and forty feet in the canyons.
In Sierra county towns are covered with
snow for several months at a stretch, the
people digging tunnels from house to house,
thus making ~thoroughfares under the snow.
When the town of Meadow Lake, Nevada
county, existed, it was entirely buried in
snow in the winter, though it contained
many two-story buildings. A stranger
coming to town would find himself stand
ing on a broad waste of snow, with nothing
to indicate his vicinity to an inhabited
town but wreaths of smoke curling up
from the surface Of the snow. Yet under
meath him was a town of several hundred
inhabitants, who had lived and had their
being and transacted business and all the
offices of their daily life under forty feet
OF o
The present depth of snow in the Sierra
is probably the greatest that has ever been
known since white men nave lived in that
region. 1t is late in the year for such a
volume Of snow to be in the mountains,
and when it begins to thaw it will send a
few torrents down on the lowlands. 1t is
thought that the worst is over, now that
the storm has ceased. 1t is our opinion
the worst is to come. There will be more
~avalanches and land-slides in the noun
tains, and it looks as il nothing can pre-
vent a food in the valleys. If the snow
melts gradually and the streams can be
kept within banks, well and good but in
the event Of q sudden heavy thaw, it will
be impossible to avert great disaster.

ALBION VS.. RIcHnoSD.
A New Suit Instituted and the Pa
pers Filed.

The Richmond-Albion litigation has as
sumed a new phase. Hitherto all of the
suits have heen brought by the Richmond.
Now the Albion turns around and becomes
the aggressor in the contest. The COM
plant, in what may prove a most import
ant legal case, was served on Mr.. Wren,
counsel for the Richmond, yesterday
morning. The Albion starts proceedings
looking to the upsetting of the St. George
patent of the Richmond Company. The
Uncle Sam title is, Of course, relied upon by
the Albion to effect this result. Whether the
undertaking will be successful remains to
be seen. 1t is alleged that the Uncle Sam
is the Oldest claim on that portion of Ruby
Hill. The complaint also sets up that the
st. George patent was obtained by the
Richmond Company through fraud, and
the Court is asked to set aside and declare
void SO much Of it as conflicts with the Un-
Gle Sam claim of the Albion Company. The
ground thus put in dispute is supposed to
cover a big slice Of mineral bearing terri
tory, and in consequence, a vigorous legal
tuoeio iol io po5scosiou may Dc ioohcu iOi.
The allegation of fraud regarding the is
suance of the st. George patent, is a thing
that no outsider can know much about un-
til the proofs are submitted. The
case is brought in the United States
Circuit Court, for the District of Ne
vada, and the hearing must be
had in Carson. The defendant is cited to
appear within twenty days from the date Of
the summons, though this being merely
formal, the case is not likely to come to
trial for several months. 1t will be inter-
esting in several respects, but the chief
point will relate to the st. George patent.
This is the first case, we believe, wherein
the validity of o United States patent to
mineral land has ever been assailed in this
State. In Colorado they are subject to the
closest scrutiny by the Courts.
The Complaint in the case under notice
is very vofuminous, and the pleading is in
the quaint ltilted style peculiar to the U.
s. Courts. The papers were served by
Sheriff Kyle, acting in the capacity Of Dep
uty United States Marshal.
The attorneys for the Albion are Messrs.
W. s. Wood, r. H. Lloyd and Frank G..
Newlands, OF San Francisco, and Judge
Day. E. Baily, OF Eureka. Wood and New
lands are Bank Of California lawyers, the
last named being the son-in-law of Senator
Sharon. This would seem to indicate that
the Albion may have pretty solid backing
in the pending struggle-that is to say,
that the stock has been drifting into infu-
entail hands. Mr.. Wren will. of course,
appear for the Richmond, assisted, doubt
less, by some of the great legal lights Of
San francisco.
