THE INNING INTERESTS.

President Gibson, before a recent
bankers convention in New York, speak
ing of the varied monied interests of this
country, informed his hearers that no
other legitimate industry could show
such large and well sustained profits as
mining during the past thirty years, in
spite of the fact that mining, as a
science, had not been much more than
experimental. This statement will bear
the test of critical inquiry. 1t is not an
idle boast delivered by a nonenity to
clap-trap an audience with a speculative
snare, but it is the thoughtful and pru-
dent utterance of a prominent and well
known banker of New York, based on
carefully selected and thoroughly reliable
statistics. True, there have been many
ventures foisted upon the public that
were comparatively worthless; but in the
main mining industries have been pro-
ductive Of enormous realizations for the
moneys invested.

CUSTOMERS.

They have a curious way of doing
things in the Black Hills. When a fell
low is found who does not pay his bills,
they append his name to a black list and
publish it in the papers. Davidson b
Mills, of the Daisy Billiard Hall at Dead
wood City, publish an article headed as
follows: "Still they come !! More souls
made happy! Accounts on the follow
ing named parties offered at a discount /"
Then a string of names appear. The
document then concludes: "This list
will be kept standing for some time yet,
when it will be replaced with new names.
We shall continue to publish the names of
dead-beats without fear or favor, regard
less of profession, position, occupation,
age, race, color or previous condition of
servitude. Business men will do well to
cut this out and post up for future refer
ence."

l845 a simple declaration of their belief
in the second coming of Christ was form

TALK.

The New York Conservative, a paper
devoted to legitimate mining, has this
sensible paragraph at is nonsense to
talk Of buying a mine only where there
is twice as much ore in sight as the price
asked for it, for mining is just as safe and
legitimate as any other industry, luck
serving no better purpose in nining than
it does elsewhere. Indeed. mining, when
conducted on a true business basis, has
dealt most bountifully with those who
have embarked in it their energies, their
brains or their money"

NEW loRK, may u, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Since railroad stocks
have fallen and the great rush Of business
in that line has given way to q mere play
among the brokers Of New York to resus-

received a little of their justly due consid-
GRAFTON; hence a better feeling and
stronger market. A new stimulus has
been added in the hopes entertained for
the Comstocks, and q strong disposition is
manifested here to invest in the north end
mines.
Great satisfaction is expressed as regards
the Supreme Court decision affirming that

reka Con. vs. Richmond Con-, which
arises from the fact Of q large number of
Eureka Con. shares being held in the East.
Albion ia receiving q great deal Of atten-

plicity OF law suits in which it is involved,
and the stock has been dealt in in New
York and Boston with good profits to the
investors; parties having bought at so
cents and sold at "a 10 secured the best
bargains. People here used to be fright
ened at law suits, but now it 10 understood
to be . necessary adjunct, and q mine not
worth q fight in the Courts Is not worth
the investors money. A number Of COM
panies have been formed here since the
commencement Of the year for the pur-
pose OF developing mines, and quite q
number OF mines have been sold for cash.
1t is much easier to operate now than it
was q few months ago. In fact, as railroad
stocks have lost in public favor, SO mines
and mining stocks have gained. The
principal mines Of Eureka are getting to
be well known here, and many are the
questions asked about them. their man
ayers and management. The question IL
also asked, " Why do not the local papers
give more detailed Indignation about the
mines Of Eureka District?" There il

to reach the investors at large Is by liber-
ally using printers ink TO place the merits

miles north of Reno, and contains 116
square miles of water surface. A
tunnel one mile long will be run to a
point twelve feet below the level of
the lake, and through that outlet the
waters will be diverted for fuIning
and irrigating purposes. The lake is
surrounded with a thick growth of
magnificent sugar-pine, fir and ordi-
nary pine timber This will be cut
and foated through the tunnel to a
saw:mill which will be built over the
cut. The lumber will be dumped out

and tloated to some station on the Or
