[By Telegraph to the Sentinel
SAN Francisco, December 1.-THE jury

1t is probable that no verdict will be
reached.
In the Mussel Slough case, to-day has
been devoted to argument on the question
Of the admissibility Of evidence taken at
the C~oroner's inquest on the bodies Of the
victims Of the tragedy.
In accordance with telegraphic advices
from New York, subscriptions to the De
Lesseps canal nave been discontinued In
this city. The managers of the Anglo-C CAL
ifornis Bank. agents in this city, report
that the amount subscribed here is small,
but they do not feel authorized TO state the
amount received.
SAN Francisco, December 10.-A Tue
son dispatch says: Judge Chas. Silent de.
cided to-day, in the action brought by
Pinal county to recover taxes from the S.
p. X. r., that the Act of the Territory
passed in 1877, which exempts the s. p.
from taxation for four years, is not in con-
prevention of an Act of Congress, which
forbids the granting Of special privileges to
private corporations. The tax levied
against the Railroad Company, he decides
is therefore void.

A Vile Islander.

The Ruby Hill News perpetrates the fol-
lowing SANDER on a couple Of public OFF,
ciaiu "a couple of worthless who call
themselves Bird Reynolds and Jim Mason.
and who intimate that they are Deputy
Sheriffs Of Eureka county, State Of Ne
vada, were seen proving around the Hill
and the Richmond Side last Wednesday
with a very fine rig-probably borrowed.
They had with them a large book and two
huge buckskin bags. 1t was whispered
around that Wednesday was license day,
but it appeared more like beer-up day.
Both bags went home empty, and the Dep
uties full. Our citizens thus far. however,
lave reported nothing missing.

Bill McKeon, q printer, left Bodie = few
days ago, bound for Eureka. Just before
he pulled out a friendly ~ bar-keeper gave
Bill four bottles Of suthin' to keep him
warm on the road. Bill knows the where
fore of pneumonia" at Bodie and did
not taste the stuff. He offered the stage
driver a nip" and then Bill had to
drive into Carson. He boarded q freight
train for Reno. and his good health was
winked by the conductor as he quaffed the
liquid. Bill had TO report q conductor taken
with heart disease az that end Of the route.
The sam medicine paralyzed two ticket
punchers on the G. p, and Mac got into
Eureka Friday night with two bottles Of
the .'pizen" intact. Bill wanted work. and
he passed the truck around to the SESTI-
MEL corps. The stuff did its work effectu-
ally. but il the stomach-pumps don't give

Some Mention of The Richmond and
Ruby. Duuderburr.

Ruby Dunderburg.
The London Mining Journal Of Novem-
Der Goth is at hand. 1t contains the fol-
lowing reference to Eureka mines
RICHMOND.
The usual telegram from the mines at
Eureka, Nevada, states that the weeks run
was $780, 00, from 800 tons OF ore. During
the week the refinery produced dore bars
to the value of S55, 900. The manager
(0ct. 20 reports that ''the 700 northwest
from WINE has been driven 81 feet, in
more favorable ground for ore than we
have had since the drift was started from
the Wine. The 800 west has been drifted
IS feet in hard limestone. The $40 north
west on fissure has been advanced 10 feet;
ground in present end looks very favor
able. The 900 west drift has been extend
ed 26 feet, in hard ground. The 900 north
west On fissure has been drifted 10 feet,
without any change to mention; the assure
is still regular and well defined. The winze
sinking below the 800 northwest on fissure
has been sunk IL feet; the assure is well
defined, and looks very promising. The
chambers are all looking very well, es-
pecially No. IA, which has greatly i'm
proved since my last; we find the ore max
ing out east a greater distance han we ex-
pected. This chamber is looking as we'll
at present as it has at any time for some
months past. The furnaces are in good
working order, and smelling an average
quantity of ORE"
RUBY-DUNDERBERG.
The usual weekly report and kilograms
describe the progress being made at this
c%ompany's works as Of a satisfactory ma
ture. Attention is directed to the aug
mented ore return, which fully bears out
the opinion frequently expressed, that the
output would speedily increase in quantity.

About $3.50 o'clock last evening, a wooden
building adjoining Trofatter's restaurant,
used as lodging house. was discovered to
be on fire. The fire had made such head
way that il was useless to attempt to save
it. and all efforts were directed to saving
the buildings on each side OF 1t. which was
done by putting up blankets and throwing
water upon them, thereby stopping the
confsgration. The building burned was
the property of E. I. Trofatter. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. Several of
the dodgers in the building lost heavily in
stocks, etc. Mr.. Trofatter's loss is about
81, 900; insured for $500.

Says the Ruby Hill News: A. ". Castle,
OF Eureka, a few days since received a
patent from Washington for his new safety
cage. From what we can learn it is a big
improvement to anv thing Of the kind ever
invented. 1t will operate successfully not
only when the cable breaks, but in such a
case as the late Tioga disaster, when the
engineer lost control Of his engine. 1t will
also prevent the cage from running into
the sheaves by shutting off the steam when
the cage is but q few feet above the top
OF the shaft.

From all sources we hear the most en-
couraging reports of the riches OF this cele-
brated mining property. 1t is now posi-
lively stated that the company have a great
abundance of high grade ore continuous
from the 500 down to the HOO level, all OF
which is in new ground. When the new
compartment shaft is completed, which is
now down some 100 feet. and the mine is
in complete running order. look out for
old time 81 aud SO dividends.

Encouraging.

The Kemp 4 Keen series Of mines have
shown up some excellent deposits OF ore in
the recent workings. and with present
prospects to go on. the owners will proceed
to develop the property. Notably promi-
neDt aud encouraging is the outlook in
the Kemp h Keen and the Bourbon mines
The ore uncovered is Of the same quality
and stamp as that in the Jackson. and
there has never been a doubt but that the
chambers extended from the Jackson into
the Kemp q Keen ground. The owners
feel encouraged TO go on with develop
ments.

Fixing Up.

The Carson appeal says the Senate and
Assembly chambers are being fixed up for
the approaching session. The halls OF the
Capitol have been covered with mating,
and everything that can conduce to the
comfort Of the Solons will be arranged in
due time. We wonld suggest not to fix
up the chambers too luxuriantly gor-
geoas and comfortable. as some OF the
members elect are not accustomed to such
augean palaces, and their health might be
endangered therefrom.

At the Atlas furnace they have adopted .
new method of feeding the same. which is
declared to be a great improvement on
the old order OF SO many shovelfulls Of
ore, coal, fiux, etc. 1t has been noticed
that the furnace did not emit such often
siye fumes as when il was run in former
wears, but the secret lies in the feeding,
and it is claimed that much is saved there
by. The steam from the ores, and that
which is generated in the smoke-stack
saves much Of the metal.

Chinese pro,ecuye society.

The Chinese wash-house men. says the
Appeal, have started a protective associa-
ton for the purpose Of preventing people
from skipping about from one wash-house
to another. Several families in Carson who,
during the past month, have concluded to
change their wash-men have been unable
to do so, as the man offered the washing al
ways remarks: Me no takee way from
my friend" They have agreed not to I'M
dermine each others trade. and are all
sticking to their agreement.
