we estimate the number of acres of grain
planted this season at over lG0,0 OF
this amount there are fully $4,000 acres
planted to wheat, and the balance in bar

| fifteen thousand acres of alfalfa and from
fifteen to eighteen thousand acres OF
orchard and vineyard.

farmers report their grain entirely frozen

have faith that we shall have more than
an average crop notwithstanding, while W.
we ought to have one of tie largest

here that have been laborine under physical diff

that has terminated in bronchitis Under these cir
cumstances havei taken the trouble to write my

gence of this Senate that l may be allowed TO have
the Secretary OF this Senate to read them for me-
Leave was granted, and the SECRETARY read the

COASTERS In GOTHAM.
Flood and Coll beam Lunch TO.
gether, and Mark Mcdonald


gefher, and Mark Mcdonald
Makes n Cleanup in Railroad
shorts.
The Wall Street News is a gossipy little
sheet, which finds its way regularly to our
table. The issue of May 18th has some
mention of Paci6c-coasters that will be
read with interest here. Mark Mcdonald
is a large owner in the Fourth of July
mine, in this District, and Johnny Boyd
and George McAneny used to hang cut in
these parts in early days. The News says
1t is rumored that Bonanza Flood and
Coll Deane lunched together at belmont
cos yesterday, and sent a joint congratu-
latory dispatch to John Maekay, %announc-
ing the burial of the Ratchet. Peace hath
her victories, etc.
The Californians in New York are max
ing quite an impression on railroad securi-
ties. 1t is reported on the street that Mark
Mcdonald has cleaned, up over $50 900 on
shorts within a week, and that George
Roberts, operating on a large scale, has
added over a quarter of a million to his al
ready ~plethoric bank account. Nothing
like sitting 'em in occasionally.
Among the recent arrivals from the Pa
cifc slope, we note with pleasure Col. John
F. BOYD and Mr.. George B. McAneny, both
of whom are closely identified with mining
interests. Colonel Boyd is one of the Off
GERS of Bodie and Standard, and has had
large experience as a mining expert. Mr..
McAneny is one Of the fortunate owners Of
the Contention mine, Arizona, which is
now turning out over SIS, 900 per day. As
he owns one-quarter Of the properly, his
income may be set down at about 81 900
per day. These gentlemen contemplate
spending the summer in the city and vicin-
ity, having a right royal good time.

Mining Notes.

The owners Of the Phil Sheridan mine,
on Ruby Hill, are about to let a contract
for sinking a shaft and prospecting the
mine.
All the vacant ground OF Mccoy Hill,
on the west side Of New York Canyon, has
been located during the past month. and a
number OF locations have been made along
the foothills on the western side Of Pros
pect Mountain.
George K. Mccullough has opened up a
fine body Of rich milling ore in the Reeves
d Berry, at Spring Valley. and says there's
millions in it,"
E. II. Rose and James Duker are making
preparations to put in a summers work on
the Five-twenties and W~oodchopper mines,
in Spring Valley.
Richard Charnoek has several tons OF
very fine ore on the dump Of the North
Star mine, and says that the prospects are
very encouraging.

Another Precinct Heard From.

The Idaho Avalanche has this to say Of
some matters in Nevada: Colonel Bishop
is one Of the rising men Of Nevada. He
is a Republican in politics. In q recent
speech he exhibited manhood and inde-
pendence enough to declare that Jones,
Sharon and Daggett were grossly misrepre-
senting the sagebrush State at Washington.
He rebuked their contemplate imbecility
in asserting to the belief that there was
only one man in this vast country Of fifty
million people who was fit to be President.
II there are any freemen in the Republican
party of Nevada now is the time for them
to assert sheir rights and proclaim their
manhood. Comstock interests nave con-
trolled the politics Of that State too long.
Decency and justice alike demand a new
deal. The sack has been Nevada's dis
grace, and with the political extinction of
the men who now misrepresent the State
at Washington a new and brighter era will
dawn upon its progress both political and
otherwise"

Grants Nomination at Chicago AS
sured.

sured.
George G. Gorham, the Washington cor
respondent Of the San Francisco Chronicle,
as every one knows is a very shrewd politi-
clan. He enjoys the further advantage of
being on the sinside" of the Third Term
camp. In bis latest letter to the Chronicle
he has the following regarding the Repub-
lican Presidential situation:
Grant, who advocates a reconciliation, is
now virtually nominated. Already dele
gates in favor Of his nomination have been
chosen as follows: Arkansas IL, Georgia
10, Indiana IS, Kentucky "a, Massachu-
sets 7, Missouri 80, Mississippi 8, Mary
land 8, North Carolina IL, New York 50,
New Hampshire 2, Pennsylvania SO, South
Carolina IA, Tennessee Is, Texas 16, vir-
ginia %, Wisconsin 2, District OF Columbia
/. Total 1888. He will certainly have be-
sides, AZ from Illinois, 8 from Florida, is
from Alabama and 16 from Louisiana.
These 81, added to 1873. makes Ala, which
is SO more than enough to elect. To COM
pensate for any desertion, land the strong
side is seldom deserted), his friends count
on all Southern and some Ohio delegates,
with Sherman out, while the Al votes
now nominally for Edmunds and Wash
burne are most likely to finally support
Grant. The estimates to the contrary of
these figures are made merely to affect the
conventions now being held in Illinois.
Colorado, also, will probably be for Grant.
On the 10th inst. Illinois will speak. Thus
far my calculations nave not been found
far amiss. Maryland was a good Offset for
Georgia, and Wisconsin for Mississippi.
Now, see if / am not correct in predicting
that Illinois will be solid for Grant, and
send a delegation with resolutions as en-
phatic as his most ardent friends can
desire. / do not dwell on these figures to
combat the notions Of others; my object is
to endeavor to prepare the readers of your
paper for the event at Chicago.

SHOOTING AT THE HAMBURG.
Mr.. j. A. D~entOn's Statement.
HAMBURG BOARDING HOUSE, !
Nav 10. 1880.

Mr.. j. A. DenfOn's Statement.
HAMBURG BOARDING HOUSE,,
May 10, 1880.
EDITOR SENTINEL Will you please in
sert the following statement in your paper,
in regard to the shooting that occurred
here yesterday morning. at which time 1
was leading my horse to water, when a
man named William Cameron was con-
cealed where | had to pass, and rushed out
with a six shooter in his hand, cooked, and
ordered me throw up my hands. ! told
him was not armed, but if he would lay
down his pistol I would fight him; or, if he
would give me a chance to "heel" myself,
| would fight him that way. He refused
to listen to anything, and fred at me while
| was talking to him, and then cooked his
revolver to fire again. The only thing that
prevented a second shot was my closing in
on him. Cameron procured the pistol
from the foreman's Office, without his
knowledge. Cameron laid in wait to assas-
sinate me as / passed by his place OF CON
cealment. The above are all the facts in
the case, as | will be able to s~ubstantiate
at the proper time.
l have never carried arms since / have
been or the Pacific coast, believing that a
man who attends strictly to his own bust
ness is better off without them. l send
you this statement hoping that you will
publish it, that the public may know how
cowardly l was attacked by a would-be-
assassin. j. A. DENTON.
