A past event of romantic and tragic in
terest is recalled by the death Of Spotted
Tail. Shortly after the war q battalion Of
the Second Dragons was ordered to Fort
Laramie, and there Lieutenant Brockhurst
Livingston. of the we'll known New York
family, saw and loved the daughter Of the
old Sioux chief. and found his passion re-
ciprocated. The young officer took her to
his house, and she bore him a son, but
Livingston's health failed, and he was or.
dered to Europe, where he died. The girl
died Of a broken heart in 1866. after learn
ing of his death, and was carried to Fort
Laramie by her father, and was there
buried. Her grave is still annually decor
ated with flowers by the soldiers. The
mother of the young officer has sought to
find and educate his son, but the Sioux,
either because they have lost sight Of him
or because they wish to keep him, give no
trace of his whereabouts.

"Public Opinion" an outspoken weekly
paper published at the Bay, has the fol-
lowing, which fits all around: "There is
a lady in this city whose husband is worth
six millions of dollars. though he pays
taxes on but thirty thousand dollars, who
drove up to a butcher shop in her fine
carriage the other day, and had her coach
man take out, from the seat, a dozen lard
cans, which she had used for years, to have
them refilled. This is economy with a
vengeance. We also learned that there
are ladies who live in palatial residences,
entertain in a magnificent and
save the oyster cans and old bottles, which
they sell for the benefit of their hair
dresser. Our rich people are but
small potatoes, at best, and it is no wonder
that our people feel the inhumanity and
penuriousness of the upstairs most keenly.
In the East o lady ia born q lady; in Eu-
rope. a lady has had her grandmother ac-
knowledged as an ornament to good socie-
ty, but here, Cider Gottes, every washer
woman, whose husband sprung up in a sin
gle night, like the guard of Jonah, from
the lower levels of the whisky shop to
power and plenty, is the ruling queen Of
good ~ society. What the rich people of
Europe and the East throw over their fence
supports hundreds of poor people, but our
~millionaires still remember they were raised
on buttermilk-hence their meanness."

EUREKA CON. MANAGEMENT.
A Friendly Word or Two with the
Editor of the Mining Record.

Addressing itself to the press Of Eureka
the New York Mining Record says
The Mining Record has been a stanch
and effective friend ofyour district from our
earliest issues, and to-day, If the largest
part Of the shares Of the Eureka Consoli-
dated are owned here at the East, is it not
a little due TO our steadfast assertion that
the property was one Of the highest per-
manent value. The owners Of the prop
erty are speaking through us. and you are
not called upon to become the allies and
advocates of a management which Is dis
trusted by those who have the right to
choose their own agents and trustees, as
you will surely see. on the third Monday
Of October next.
We admit your friendship and thank
you for it. But you ask too much when
you say that we should not stand by the
present management, which we know to be
correct in every particular. There are
shareholders on this coast who have rights
that should be respected as we'll as those
Of the East. You intimate that the con-
troll is to be assumed by Eastern parties.
That we do not want, and in this regard
we are speaking not only for the best in
terests Of the Eureka Consolidated, but Of
our whole district. Eastern arrangements
have, almost without exception, proven
disastrous failures in this section. We
care nothing about the personnel of the
new Board, SO long as you entrust the
mining and smelling operations to West
ern hands. We are opposed to Eastern
experiments with this splendid property.

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
The Comparative Statement of the
Mining Record Not what IL should

Mining Record Not what IL should
BE.
The attention Of the reader i. invited to
the following statistical showing made by
the New York Mining Record in drawing q
comparison between the earnings Of the
Eureka Con. and the Richmond
Since Sept. 80, 1880, the English holders
Of the Richmond have received S12 so per
share, leaving half a million dollars at
least in the treasury, while the Eastern
holders Of Eureka Con. received but SIS
per share in dividends. The stock of the
Richmond is to-day in London at rising
$50 per share OF the par value OF $25,
while that Of the Eureka Consolidated can
be sold in New York for, at most, S29 per
share OF the par value OF 500.
With the July dividend, it is true that
the Eureka Con. had paid it's shareholders
in the aggregate 81, $50, 900, while the
Richmond had paid So, 202, sos, and eonse-
quently the shareholders, past and present,
of the former have received 81, AT, 492
more h have been received during the
same period by the Richmond holders.
But surely the SENTINEL does itself an in
justice in setting up this fact as a reason
for opposing the change Of administration
which the present Eastern shareholders
almost unanimously desire and are seek
ing to effect, for it must know that the
shareholders of the Eureka Con-, in chief
part, are not those who held the stock two
years ago. At the end of 1879 the divi-
dends that had been paid by the Eureka
Con. aggregated 81, 225, 900, and those of
the Richmond S2,112, 500. Since then,
however, the shareholders of the latter
have received from their investment ST.
lat 500, and those Of the Eureka Con. but.
$3.50, 900. So much for this phase Of the
question for the present.
With all due Difference to our esteemed
New York contemporary, we must say that
the above showing is simply unfair.
Within the time mentioned the Richmond
has declared an extraordinary dividend OF
S. per share, which, added to the regular
dividends, has produced the seeming dis
crepancy in the earnings of the two COM
panies. 1t is a thing that does not occur
often and may never occur again. 1t is
not a criterion to base a demand upon for
a change OF management. Within the
same period, also, the Eureka Con. has
been under extraordinary expenses. 1t
has purchased the X K ground at a cost Of
$3.50, 600 has expended more than $780,
600 on the new shaft, and still it carries
over as a reserve fund something over
$500, 900, to say nothing Of 500, 900 worth
of coal and other supplies on hand. Still
the fact stands that the Eureka Con. is
away ahead Of the Richmond in the aggre-
gate amount per share of dividends paid.
If the Mining Record will only cool off for
a moment and candidly consider the bot
tom facts in this whole case, ii annot fail
to reach the conclusion that it is wrong in
attempting to overthrow the present excel
lent management.

Fruits for Everybody.

The Red House yesterday received an i'm
mense supply Of fruit from California.
Among the lot are some Of the finest peach
es ever brought to this market. They are
all OF magnificent size. weighing o an av-
erage a half pound each, and Of a color 70
harmonize with a maiden's cheek. In the
grape line there is also q luscious variety,
which look as fresh as though they were
Just. plucked from the vine. The attention
of private clearinghouse keepers and res
taurant proprietors is directed to this
store. And the devoted housewife will
find the present an excellent opportunity
to lay in a supply Of preserves for the en-
suipR Winter.

Eureka tunnel stock.

The late favorable reports from the Eu-
reka Tunnel are causing the Eastern hold
ers OF the stock to raise their heads. The
stock is largely held in Boston. The SEN
rINEL was yesterday shown a letter from a
gentleman in that city asking about the
prospects Of the Tunnel, at what price the
stock is held at this end Of the line. He
also mentioned that there are purchasers
there for the shares II any can be found
for sale. We imagine that most of the
holders here are willing to hold a little
longer under the present bright outlook.

Eyiled -'Erenehmeu.

II there are any Frenchmen in Nevada
who were banished from their native land
after the coup d. etat of 1851. they may be
interested in knowing that a law has been
passed by the Assembly in France grant
ing an indemnity OF 5000, 900 francs to
the expatriated Republicans. The indem-
nifty is not for loss OF property, but for
Punishment or exile, and 1t is not for the
descendants Of the dead, but only for those
still living. Every n entitled to any
thing at all Is entitled to from 400 to 1900
francs per year the balance Of his life. In
order to reap the benefits to which they
are entitled the exiles must make applioa-
ton within two months from this time to
the Secretary Of the Interior OF France
through their respective Consuls.

Will Begin Drifting.

The Richmond mine has reached q total
depth Of 1890 feet. This is equivalent to
about 1900 feet OF the Eureka Con-, ow-
ing to the contour Of the mountain. A
station will now be opened and drifting for
the ledge commenced next week. There Is
hardly a doubt the Richmond viii lind ore
Of this great depth. The prospects in the
lowest workings have been Of the most en-
couragipg character. There Is fear OF Q
food OF water, which IL missed, we may
expect to hear OF some splendid develop
ments in the Richmond within the next
few months. These deep workings are
needed to test the real backbone Of the
mines OF Ruby Hill.

MINES In LONDON.
Some Mention of the Richmond
and observation-disclosures.

Some Mention of the Richmond
and Ruby-Dunderberg.
The London Mining Journal Of Aug. 10
is at hand. 1t contains this reference to
Eureka mines:
r. Richard, Eureka, Nevada, July 90: l
beg to hand you the report for the past
week. Drift from Lizette Tunnel crosscut
has been extended % feet; the ground is
not looking quite 30 favorable as it was
when last reported on. The 200 drift south
from No. 16 chamber has been advanced
7 feet, in a regular and well-defined assure,
which looks very favorable. The 300 north
drift has been extended q distance OF 2 feet
in hard limestone. The 400 north from
No. IL chamber has been drifted 8 feet in
hard ground. The 600 north from No. I
chute has been advanced ~ feet, ground
somewhat easier. Drift southwest from
No. IA chute has been drifted Is feet with
out any change. The 600 east from north
assure drift has been extended 81 feet in
much more favorable ground for drifting.
The 600 east, on shale contact, is without
any change to mention. The shaft has
been sunk an additional depth Of % feet;
now down 228 feet below the 2OO-foot level
RUBy-DUNDERBERG.
The weekly mining report and telegram
give the customary accounts of work done.
In the Dunderberg east drift, from No. 2
winze so feet above the 700-foot level, a
seam Of good ore has been cut, proving
that the No. 2 ore body extends down to
this level, and will afford good returns Of
ore when opened up. No. l and s ore
bodies are looking we'll. A crosscut On
the 300 has been commenced under the
old Home Ticket lode, which was pitching
in a northwesterly direction. ~Bullwhacker
mine was being vigorously worked, and
the drift 65 feet below the 328-foot level is
reported as looking promising. The weekly
telegram reports the run of the furnace to
be $4,000 from 274 tons, producing SO
tons Of bullion This is expected to be
improved next week. This return gives a
value of nearly $44 per ton of ore.

A Man Under Arrest I'm visaIfa,
California, for AN Old Crime.
The Sacramento Record-U Union has the
following: Levi r. Randall is under arrest
at visalia charged with the murder of q
little girl who was killed four years ago.
1t will be remembered that some three or
four years ago a little girl. about IA years
Of age, living with her parents near Kern
vile, Kern County, started home from
school, and not being seen as soon as ex-
pected, was sought and found by the road
side brutally outraged and murdered. Tie
greatest mystery hung about the affair.
Every clue was eagerly seized upon and
followed up. to lead to but nothing. A
Mexican who lived on the road between
the girls home and the school-ho was
suspected, as the child had often stopped
at his cabin, and he was intimate at her
home. There was talk of lynching him,
but he strenuously protested his innocence
and finally he was released, there being no
evidence whatever against him, and SO the
matter gradually died away. A few days
ago Randall was heard of as being in or
near Visalia, and was found at a dance
house and taken in charge by Deputy
Sheriff Fudge. Randall is an e%x-convict.
a bad man and a dangerous one. 1t is
said that he told the story Of the killing OF
the child to a fellow convict, who has in
turn told the officers.

Last night was the time set for the clos
Ing OF the entries for the races on satur-
day and Sunday next. A SENTINEL re-
porter called on Mr.. German at the Palace
Saloon at about IL o'clock, and found that
seven horses had been named. Possibly
others were put in at a later hour. But
seven insures the success Of the meeting.
1t was originally desired to have eight en-
tries, in order that they might be run in
two teams Of four each, the two winning
horses to go in q third race. The same
plan may be followed with the seven, four
running in one batch and three in the
other. By this method the sport will be
heightened out and the meeting invested
with greater interest.
