EUREKA MINES In LONDON.
some Mention of the Richmond
and Ruby-Dunderberg.

and Ruby-Dunderberg.
The London Mining Journal of Nov. 10
is at hand. 1t contains the following
reference to Eureka mines :
RIoHMoND-The usual telegram from the
mines at Eureka, Nevada, states that the
weeks run was S43, 900, from $50 tons OF
ore. During the week the refinery pro-
duced dore bars to the value OF $40, 900.
Total depth in ore on incline 30 feet, now
iattening out northwards. The manager
(oct. 19l reports that the 200 west has been
extended IL feet in favorable ground. A
winze has been started from the bottom Of
the 200 south from the west drift in ledge
matter, low grade ore, with bnnches of
galena, and looks very favorable to open
out to pay ore shortly. Last week a drift
was started east from the 600 north,
from the No. IA chute, and after drifting
~ feet a small cave was encountered show
ing some good pieces Of galena and carbo-
nate ore on the sides. After clearing out
the debris from the bottom Of the cave
we found q floor Of good carbonate ore.
Not sufficient work has been done to ascer-
tain the size, but at present it shows a
breast Of 8 feet of good ore, and Judging
from the appearance it is nearly certain to
open out to a large ore body. This is I'M
doubleday the continuation in depth Of the
large ore chamber found above this level,
and the fact Of it making below the 600 is
OF great importance, and cannot be too
highly appreciated, as no ore OF any value
has been found below the 600. The 700
east has been drifted 10 feet without any
change. The 1900 crosscut has been ex-
tended 20 feet, a total distance from the
shaft OF ia feet; the end is still in quartz
ite.
RUBY DUSDEnBERG-The telegram this
week shows a considerable improvement in
the quality Of the ore smelted, the assay
value per ton being nearly $54. This in
creased value, it is understood, has been
brought about partly by the improved
character OF the shipments from the Bull
whacker mine. The weekly report shows
that the No. 7 ore body is developing salts
factorily, and that the No. 2 ore body has
been met with again between the 600 and
700 levels. The shipments from the Bull
whacker continue on a fair scale.
EUREKA (Nevada)-This weeks report
advises good progress in the various drifts
in the Bald Eagle. A assure of low grade
ore had been passed through in the $50
foot west drift. which is being followed
both north and south, and it is expected
this may lead to q good ore body. The 150
foot north drift has been advanced "a feet
feet during the week; this only requires
about 10 to Is feet further driving to con-
meet it with the bottom Of the old ore
chamber.

INDIAN GIRL GRADUATES.
CryingFTheir.E Eyes Out when Sent
Back. Home.

Back; Home.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from the Grow Creek
Agency, says: "While / was galloping
back to the fort in the company of DR..
Berger, the post surgeon, we came upon
a handsome Indian girl, who was saunter-
ing along the roadside. She proved to be
Irwin, or Yellow Woman, one of the
Hampton College graduates. Attired in
a fashionably-cut polonaise, jaunty bon
shoes, as she drew back and modestly
shaded her eyes with a tiny gloved hand,
Irwin was the strongest advocate Of edu-
cation that could have been sent among
the susceptible braves of Grow Greek.
She ia the daughter of Don't-Know-How,
an Indian store-keeper, who displays over
his door the sign, d. K. Howe When
little Irwin was sent to the college at
Hampton Roads her fathers house ap-
peared. in comparison with the surround
ing tepees, to be o palatial mansion. The
impression was not effaced even by con-
tact with Eastern luxury during her col
lege life, and last week the girl looked for
ward with pleasure to the grand reception
which her father had arranged for her re-
turn. But when she walked into that
rude hut and felt how completely edifica-
tion.had isolated her from her savage sur
roundings, the poor girl burst into tears.
That night she slept in the arms Of her sis
ter, and both girls cried till morning, one
because she was civilized, and the other
because she was not. The next morning
Irwin turned everything upside Town and
began a general house-cleaning. Her
father appeared at the Agency an hour
later, with a melancholy countenance, and
it is a question as to how long he can stand
the regime of cleanliness which has been
inaugurated. After a few words with the
girl we passed on, and by a piece of good
fortune overlook one of the Yale College
graduates. (. He was the pink Of stylish
perfection, and would have attracted at
tention even in the East. He said he was
surprised to find how education had al
tered his ideas regarding the Sioux, but
said his people were all anxious for civili-
cation, and when we parted he apologized
for having left his visiting cards at home"

The Cattle Rusiness.

The Silver State learns from cattle own
ers that there is nothing to warrant the
conclusion arrived at lately that beef cat
tie are to be unusually high this Winter.
The reason which they assign for a differ
ent opinion is that a great many cattle are
being fattened for the Winter and early
Spring market. Shippers say I. V. But
ton is now feeding, or will feed 500 head;
Aaron Layton is feeding 200 head; Richie
& Barnum 200 head, and Farrell Brothers

timated that at least 5000 head will be
fed north OF the railroad in Humboldt

THE BANQUET.
An Elegant Farewell Testimonial of
Regard G o Mr. T.. j. DOwlen.

"
Regard TO Mr.. T.. j.. D0wIen.
Mr.. e. J. Dowlen, the retiring superin.
tendent Of the Ruby underberg mine Of
this mining district, was the recipient last
night on the part Of his friends, who fig
ure among the guests, Of o most we'll.
timed and recherche farewell dinner. Mr..
Dowlen has been a resident Of the Pacific
Slope for q number Of years, and he has
so endeared himself to the several COM
munities in which he has resided during
that time that it is not without a pang that
we bid him "God-speed" to old
England, hoping that he may return to us
soon II his lines are not cast in pleasanter
places. He has stamped himself the gen.
tleman in our community, urbane, genteel
and honest. We commend him wherever
he may go. The gentlemen who assisted
at the entertainment last night are Messrs.
VIM. Pardy, presiding, Col. L. N. Robin
son at the other end Of the festive board,
e. j. Dowlen, Rev. G. B. Crawford, j. M.
Leet, DR.. G.. Fl. Thoma, d. b. Merry, j..

Eureka Leader, st. George T. Bryan, Gen.

Wilson, d. r. Sessions, A. L.. Fitzgerald,
and j. G. Peters. The latter gentleman
takes the place Of Mr.. Bowling as Super
intendent Of the Ruby-Dunderberg mine.
The feast was served at the Jackson House
Restaurant, by Gibfried q Brisacher,
whose art as cooks and caterers is I'M
equaled anywhere in the mountains. The
whole affair was delightful. 1t is the SEN
TINEL's regret that the end Of the upper
came so late as to place our paper at dis
advantage. 1t would have been our
pleasure to report some Of the ad-
dresses. They remind us strongly
OF what we read about in the reports OF
sfter-dinner wit among the gentry OF our
mother land, who make this diversion an
object Of special social culture. Any at
tempt at such a report, however, would
be an injustice and derogatory Of the oc-
casion. 'Mr. Dowlen leaves Eureka with
the unanimous desire Of the people that
he will soon come back again.

Combustion ian the Old Bonanza
Mines.

Combustion fm the Old Bonanza
Mines.
The combustion which some time ago
occurred in the lower levels Of the old Bo-
nanza mines appears, says the Enterprise,
to have never been very well understood.
1t caused the evolution of a vast quantity
Of deadly gas, which spread through the
lower levels Of the mine and everywhere
drove back the workmen /; yet no fire was
ever seen, nor could any one ever think Of
any means by which fire could have been
communicated to the timbers in the old
deserted Slopes, whence the gas appeared
to proceed. From the first the officers of
the mines were quite confident that the
gas was produced by some kind Of slow
spontaneous combustion that was going on
without either flame or fire. Indeed the
gas, where most dense, would instantly
~extinguish a lighted candle.
AS no man could live in the gas, OF
course no one was able to visit the seat OF
the combustion to see what was there 60
ing on. The opinion Of those in the mines
was that heat and combustion were gen.
Grated in masses OF timbers under great
pressure, and that could n visit the spot
he would find that the timbers were being
charred by means Of a kind Of slow; black
combustion-that is, that there would be
no visible fire.
1t was thought what was going on was
somewhat Of the nature of that which has
taken place in the formation of beds of
coal that through great pressure a suffi-
cient amount OF heat was generated to
drive great quantities Of the more volatile
gases out Of the timbers, soften them, and
unite them in a solid mass resembling q
stratum Of coal. We have accounts of
something of the same kind having &C.
Cured in the mines OF Europe, where
the conditions we're far less favorable to
such a result than here in the bonanza
mines.
As the gas now appears to have almost
ceased to be produced, it is probable that
in a few months our miners will be able
to make explorations and seek out and
examine the scene Of the combustion.
Such an exploration would be sure to af-
ford matter of interest to the scientific
world, and the coal, or whatever material
was left behind when the combustion
ceased, would be worthy of close inspec-
ton.

diamond fields is not agreeable. Hundreds

lapse into beggary. Money is very scarce,
and very few miners, even with nominal

A NEW WAY TO TREAT DIPH,
THERIA.-Quite discovery in the
treatment of diphtheria has been
made recently. A young man whose
arm had been amputatsd. was attack
ed with diphtheria befors healing
took place and Instead of the matter
incident to the disease being deposi
ted in the threat, the greater portion
appeared on the wounded arm, and
the diphtheria Was very light and
easily managed. The physician in
attendance profitted by this, and IN
the next case of diphtheria blistered
his patients chest, and en this blis-
tered part the chief deposit appeared.
This was also aa easy case of the
disease. The theory is that diphther-
ia usually appears in the throat be.
cause of the thinness of the lining OF
the throat: Hence, when the blister
breaks the skin on the other part OF
the body, the diseases appears there.

full conduct against you. 1t does not
fellow because the letter was in your

informed and knew of its spurious
character that your action was culp-
able. One of your counsel has,al-
ready stated that the forged Morey
letter was offered to the San for pub
lIcation before it catne to Truth ;
that the Slm submitted it to counsel.
and that counsel advised against its
publication on the ground that ii was
forgery. We recall, 100. casual
Interview between yourself and a
gentleman of established yeracity,
wei known in this city, in the
month of November last, in which
you said to him, referring to the
Morey letter: sit is not genuine. II

fore the Truth published it," We
are quite well aware of the truth OF
the statement made in the .SuJs, last
week, that you pronounced the letter
a forgery as soon as it appeared. You
knew it was forgery because the
original had been previously in your
possession, under circumstances and
accompanied by information which
left no room to doubt its spurious
character, and you We're thereby en-
abled to express yourself accurately
upon the point as seon as the copy in
type appeared. You are mistaken,
therefore, in denying that you had
the Morey letter in your possession
before it came to Is1ab."
The article closes by calling upon
Mr.. Dana to reveal the source from
which the letter came to him, or the
parties to whom it was returned.
