what h "C0rner MAN. Has to Say
OF the Latest Innovation.
We are reliably informed that some time
recently q new method Of waltzing was in
troduced. 1t is called "The Glide )" but
all sensible people call it 1.-The Snide." The
worst feature Of this snide business is, that
it takes innocent people unawares. An
honest waltzer will be making his utmost
endeavor to keep along, whir,ing in the
old-fashioned way, and the first thing he
knows, himself and partner are knocked
over the music stand, by q glider" To
be q glider, it is necessary to be all the
same as a lively flea. You must go in every
possible direction at the same time, and at
the same time whirl both ways. Not only
this, but il there is Q reasonable show to
hold the arms in q horizontal position, this
must be done. This last requisite is not
required for ease, or gracefullness. but so
that in the "reverse" business OF the en-
CINE. some plebian may get hit in the nose
and therefore will, very naturally, notice
this extraordinary improvement in the an
Gent art of dancing. The Corner Man "
was knocked down in this way several
times, and he gave up the dancing BUSH
ness. What he feels particularly grieyed
about is, that when he got knocked down,
in the manner before mentioned, the Gid
ers said he was intoxicated. And he o
says that q man or woman who would prac-
tice the glide business upon an innocent,
dancing public, ought to have sentence OF
s.seven years." at least, and without /" ben
eat Of clergy" CORNER MAN.

Notes Of Interest Regarding Various
Mining Matters.
We understand that R. P. McDaniels
intends returning to Boston in a few days,
on business connected with the Eagle series
Of mines on Prospect Mountain.
The stock Of the Bowman mine is held
by parties in Massachusetts, and Connecti-
cut, and letters are received here daily
making inquiries regarding the progress Of
the work and the merits OF the property.
A company Of miners are negotiating
with the owners of the Metamoras mine
for a lease Of that property, and if s~atisfac-
tory arrangements are made work on an
extensive scale will be commenced about
the 1st Of May.
An important series Of mines on Adams
Hill have been bonded to an English COM
pany, and everything indicates that . sale
will be made at al early day. Should the
property change hands the new owners will
erect substantial hosting works, and put .
improving the property.
w. n. TAYLOR & Co. have been extracting
about two tons OF ore daily from the San
Jose, ON Prospect Mountain, since the last
important strike was made, the ore aver
aging from $3.50 to SITS per ton.
Mr.. D. X. Ralston, who is largely inter-
ested in the Bayard Taylor Con. and Mary
land Tunnel, intends returning to Eureka
about May LIST, and will commence work on
both properties soon after his arrival.
Mr.. Jerry Mcmahon was in town last
evening making arrangements for the ship
ment Of ore from the Grant mine to the
Richmond furnaces, and reports the mine
improving as q greater depth 10 attained.

A Proposition 70 Erect Smelling
works and samplers In Eureka.
There came to Eureka flew days ago Mr..
I. 8. Backus. . capitalist Of New York. and
Mr.. J. T. Goe, . we'll known smelter and
mining man Of Utah. Mr.. Backus repre-
sents . large amount Of capital in the East,
he, with others, having made spool Of
several hundred thousand dollars to put
into legitimate mining in the West. Mr..
Backus was sent out on behalf Of the pool
to purchase properties. Coming to Utah,
he induced Mr.. Goe to join him in the
seach for something desirable. Mr.. Goe is
q first-class miner and expert, and it was
for this reason that Mr.. Backus desired his
company. The two travelled all over Utah
Territory, but could find nothing that
suited them. They next went to South
Mountain, Silver City, Boise Basin and
other points in Idaho with . similar result.
They came to the Central Pacific Railroad
at Winnemucca and had started eastward.
Picking up . copy Of the SENTINEL At some
place along the road containing glowing
accounts Of the mines n resources Of
Eureka district, they concluded to switch
of at Palisade and take . look fo- shem-
selves. To say that they were both
surprised and gratided with the
extent and outlook Of the mineral re-
sources of Eureka district hardly expresses
the favorable opinion for med Of this Sec
ton. Mr.. Goe declared that it was the
greatest mining camp in the world, and
gave it as his opinion that within two
years from this date Eureka will be the
largest and most permanent mining GEN.
ter on the American continent. He thinks
there is . magnificent opening here for
custom smelling works and samplers, and
these he expressed q determination 10 pro-
vide the present season. Mr.. Goe has gone
back to Utah with q view to settling up his
business there, intending to bring his
family and take up his residence in our
midst at once. Mr.. Goe will be heartily
welcomed to Eureka. Enterprising min
ing men, who car command capital, ID the
great want Of the district. The more we
get the better. Mr.. Backus also deter
mined to make Eureka the scene Of extern
sive mining operations. Having been
more than pleased with the general situa-
ton, both gentlemen thought it would be
as well to return TO Salt Lake and await
the disappearance Of the snow from Pros
pect Mountain. They will put in an ap-
pearance here again in about three weeks,
when they will mean business. The SENTI-
MEL guarantees that they will be able to
find any number of desirable properties.

vERDENAL ON EUREKA.


W nat ne says Oh Ouf mines, anu
the Feeling East.
Mr.. D. F. verdenal, writing from New
York to the Boston Advertiser, has this to
say Of Eureka district: There seous " be
o growing interest in New York in favor Of
looking after the mines Of the Eureka Dis
trict, Nevada. Certainly a camp that has
been such q steady bullion producer as
Eureka. with its Ruby and Adams Hin and
Prospect Mountain, is worthy Of serious
consideration at the hands Of mining in
vestors and even spectators. The reports
Of the recent big developments IL the
Richmond, Eureka Consolidated, Albion
and other mines OF the district, has stimu-
lated inquiry in that direction. The Lon
doners, who have the good fortune to W
the Richmond, have cause for congratula-
ton. Under the shrswd management Of
Brother" Probert, as they call him out in
Eureka. they have rolled the precious diyi-
dends into their Golfers until they swell up
into the millions; ard far fropS being
the end. the recent discovery Of an
other immense body Of ye guaran-
tees them for months. not years.
The dividends OF Eureka Consoli-
dated have contributed largely to the
wealth Of San FrsNtisco, as DR.. Zeile,
William Sharon, Thomas Bell, General
Dodge, Judge Heydenfeldt. Frank Logan
and other well .known operators can attest.
The opening<up OF Q rich body Of ore in
the X x Consolidated formerly managed
by w. IS. Reyes, now Of Colorado-has
astonsshed the "sharps,' although, prob
abls, j. b. Haggin, the present chief
Gamer, knew about it all along. The own
ership Of the discovery is claimed by the
Eureka Consolidated, just as all the ore
opened up by the Albion 10 claimed by the
Richmond. Work is actively prosecuted
on the jackson, from which property much
ore has been extracted. The Phenix, one
Of the oldest mines in the camp. is tenn
porarily suspended. to the surprise Of some
Of the oldest miners, who are confident
that q few more months work would un-
cover q valuable bonanza. II all the facts
in connection with this property were
properly presented. no doubt Eastern cap
italists would take hold and make q divi-
dend concern of it before winter. 1t is
reported that Jay Gould has bought several
properties in this district, being satisfied
from well-informed experts that he will
profit Is much thereby As in r~ailroading.

BELKNAP FOR JUDGE.
A White Pine Demo rat Urges His
CIaimn.

lk2lmE.
A White Pine Democrat sends the follow
ing to the SENTINEL for publication. We
heartily indorse all that is said, by our
correspondent, Of Judge Belknap:
EDITOR SENTINEL IL notice in your
paper, OF recent date, that o Carson cor
respondent suggests the name Of Judge
Seawell, Of the Lyon-Esmeralda District,
as a very proper person to receive the
Democratic nomination, at Winnemucca,
for the Supreme Bench. / think, myself,
that he would make q most acceptable can
didate, and an able and just officer, if
elected. Your correspondent has the honor
of q personal acquaintance with Judge Sea-
well, and knowing him, fully realize his
great worth as a citizen and Judge. But
Judge Seawell, l have reason to believe,
will not consent to become a candidate.
He has a large and interesting family, and
like most Of US honest people, he is poor.
He already occupies q fairly lucrative posi-
ton, as Judge Of the District named, and
l do not believe that he would care to give
up a certainty for an uncertainty. Besides,
the people of Esmeralda and Lyon voted
against him, when q candidate for the Su-
preme Bench eight years ago, for the sole
purpose OF retaining him as Judge over
their own District, Of which he was then,
as now, Judge, and which Office he would
have been compelled to resign had be been
elected. That they are still as warmly at
tached to him is demonstrated by his re-
election, over and over again, in one of the
strongest Republican Districts in the State.
For these reasons, / say, Judge Seawell is
not likely to To d candidate before the
Winnemueca Convention. Who then
should the party nominate? l say, most
unhesitatingly, hat Judge Belknap, of
Storey, is the man for the place. He has
served one term on the Supreme Bench Of
Nevada, and / have never yet heard either
his ability or integrity questioned by any
one. He il certainly the intellectual peer
Of any member Of the present Bench. As
Mayor of Virginia City, also, he has q
splendid record. Indeed. / believe it is
conceded on all sides that he made one Of
the best and most correct municipal officers
the metropolis Of the Comstock ever had.
I don't know that Judge Belknap is a
candidate, or that he would accept the
nomination if rendered him, but to my
mind he is clearly such a man as the party
should delight to honor. The thousands
of friends, all over the State, Of the late
lamented Governor Bradley, would rally
enthusiastically to his support. OF all the
prominent Democratic lawyers in Nevada,
Judge Belknap is the man who can achieve
an easy victory over the Republican candi-
date. Judge Beatty. DEMOCRAT.

YANKEE FORK.
terms from h Herald FOL the Week
Ending April 10th.


The Charles Dickens and Montana mines
have been bonded to New York capitalists
for over $500, 900. The bonds run but
thirty days, and the sale must be closed
within that time. Prof. Hooper, who
sold the celebrated Horn Silver mine OF
Utah, examined snd recommended these
Yankee Fork properties. There is hardly
Q doubt that the transfer Of the property
will be consummated within the time
named.
One feature Of the Yankee Fork country
commends itself to every man and boy in
the land. The morning nap is not here
broken by the shrill voice Of the housewife
piping all hands to the garden to break
clods and pack fertilizer for the onion beds.
The sun has shown with great warmth
for nearly a week past, and the snow is rap
idly settling. A few more days Of this kind
of weather and the ~prospector will be out
on the quartz belt scanning the hills for
ssfioat."
Spring has returned. and the Yankee
Forkers who wintered in Zion are coming
home. They seem to feel good for exactly
q month. Can the Tribune explain the
racket they strike?
Last year this time the snow had disap-
peared from the valley Of the Yankee Fork
for some distance above and below Bo-
ana 1t is all gone now, with the ex-
ception Of about three feet.

In the East has been the cause Of producing

There are mining men in the East who
know q mine when they see 1t but a ma
jority Of the self-constituted experts. now
spreading themselves in Eastern cities are
frauds. As 9 rule, q mining expert is a
humbug on general principles. Only those
who combine technical knowledge with
practical experience, can properly be de-
nominated experts.

With the mining people East carbonate
producing mines are in greatest favor. One
correspondent complains that no other
class Of mines stands any show. This all
comes OF the fact, Of course, that the East
ern people have acquired ell OF their no.
tions Of mining from Leadville. On the
same score Eureka should be immensely
popular beyond the Missouri river. We
have here the richest and most extensive
carbonate deposits that have aver been
brought to light in any part OF the world.
But the Eastern public is wrong in restrict
ing purchases to carbonate properties.
There are other classes Of mines equally
productive and permanent, and fully as
desirable.

Wires Down and Trains BuFiea II
Snow Drifts.
As stated in yesterdays SENTINEL, mat
ters on the sisrras are in a worse fix than
ever before in the history Of railrosding
over that altitudinous section. All Of the
telegraph wires are down. and the trains
are hopelessly blockaded by ~snowdrifts.
Not a word of telegraph, public or private,
was received at the Eureka office yesterday.
At latest accounts the storm was still rag
ing with undated fury. The outlook for
the interruption and delay Of mails and
trains for the next two or three days is
most excellent. At s o'clock P. NJ, Tues
day. the train due at Palisade yesterday,
was fifteen hours behind time at Alta. Az
Alta is over the mountain, and almost be-
yond the snow line, the prospect Of it get
ting through in any reasonable length Of
time is not very encouraging. 1t is pos
sible that a train may be made up to-day
at Truckee or Reno, and sent east to con-
meet with the UEion Pacific, as was done
during the blockade Of last week. In that
case we may get q mail tonight from points
as far west as the snow belt. But the rail-
road and telegraph men shake their heads
when you speak Of through rail connection
with San Francisco under three Or four
days. They may be mistaken, however, as
they know but little Of the real situation
beyond the fact that the most terrific snow
storm in fifteen years has prevailed on the
Sierras during the last two days.
