A SUGGESTION.

what Bill Nye Says About Guiteau.
1t is clear to our mind that there ought
to be q vigilance committee organized at
Washington, D. @. When crime gets too
common and life isn't valued very much
in the West, there is generally q committee
OF property holders organized, whose OBJ
ject is to discourage murder, and throw
out inducements for robbers and cut
Threats to go away.
We do not claim that the people Of the
West are always right. They haven't the
advantages, some of them at least, that
Eastern people have. Out here we are
generally six weeks behind On the latest
hitch in poodle dogs and colic, but we aim
to do about the correct thing before we get
through, regardless of cost.
Colleges are not very thick here; and a
man can ride a hundred miles, sometimes,
and not see the Goldfish ball that is 80 COM
mon to more advanced civilization. Still
our people are highstrung and proud.
They have rough, crude notions about
hanging a red-handed murderer, that
might shock. the sensitive nature of a
Washington politician, but when men de-
eide on q lynching bee, 1t is generally
crowned with success.
The accused may be compelled to stand
on a rough kerosene barrel and go through
the exercise without his notes, but when
the barrel is kicked to n side and quiet
is restored, it generally turns out that life
is more secure to those who remain.
We have only this to say Let Guiteau
be sent to Carbon Station, W. T., from
which point Dutch Charley and Big Nose
George were able to look over into the
mysterious realm Of the bright beyond, or
let'him come to Laramie City, where the
time-honored telegraph pole still waits to
deal out substantial justice to those who
are hankering for the kind that works in
simultaneously.
We have no idea that this suggestion will
be accepted, because it is uncouth and
lacks the softened and chastened repose OF
manner and elegant diction which are the
results of an older and more refined civ
ilization, but we lay it on the altar OF our
common country with that open, generous
style OF ours which is so characteristic.
Still, there is one weak point in the sug-
g~estion, and we admit it. II lynching
| should once get a start in Washington, OF
IL those who have been in public life at the
capital were to become the victims OF fear
less vigilance committees, the census Of
1890 would look as though the Asiatit
cholera had swept over the land.

Americas Gold Product.

A recent estimate as to the amount Of
gold produced since the discovery OF
America gives it at $1,000, 900, 900, which
would be sufficient only to cover the pave
ment under the cupola Of the National
Capitol with a one-foot bed Of gold.
Trade consumes about S75, 900, 900, arts
and manufactures consume in England,
France, and the United States, about
S33, 900, 900. India absorbs $4,000, 900.
The coinage between 1851 and 1875
amounted to $4,000, 900, 900. America
absorbed in 1S79-s0 nearly SIC, 000, 900,
and in 18sO-S1 over sol ,o0O, 900, which is
equal to one-third OF all the gold coin in
England. This is a good argument in IA
yor Of o double standard, and some far
seeing statesmen even aver that the luxury
and trade OF the world will require even a
greater amount Of the medium OF ex-
change than the two royal metals are able
to furnish.

THE SOUTHERN MAIL ROUTE.
A Letter Containing Some Facts
Important to Eureka.

Typo (Nev.), Nov. 26, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Your paper is we'll
named. You have always been on the look
out for the interests of Eureka and our
own mining neighborhood. Permit me to
say a few words in your paper which / hope
will not come too late. II our complaint
gets into type, maybe we will be treated
better.
After July next the daily stage will be
taken off from Eureka for Morey, Hot
Greek, Florence, Danville and Typo; but
we shall have Jul mails from Belmont via
Austin. Till now southeastern Nevada
has looked on Eureka as the main point OF
supply. The stages have been leaving your
town loaded down daily with goods and
passengers. Eureka with its energetic bust
ness men has been capable of supplying
all the wants Of the interior country. The
Postmaster General says this shall not be
so any more. After July a letter mailed at
Eureka will have to go all the way round
to Austin and travel four or five days be-
fore it gets to Morey, which is to be cut
down to a tri-weekly mail from Typo.
This change Of postal service will hurt
every camp along the line. Eureka will
suffer, too, as our supplies will have to be
brought from Austin after the route is
changed.
Our section Of country looks well and
we expect developments in the Spring.
Typo will soon resume operations; Rev
ellie is producing now, 10 stamps running
daily, and the mines in Florence District
are going. to be bonanzas. The Hot Greek
Company will start their mill early in the
Spring. We do hope that something can
be done to keep the mail service as it is
now. Respectfully, @. B. 8.
P. s. I have written the above at the
request Of many Of the citizens Of Morey
and Tybo.

STOCKS.
Some Tart Remarks ON the situa.
ton I'm the Mining Record.


tiOn in h Mining Record.
Under the date Of Nov. 16 a correspon-
dent Of the New York Mining Record
writes az follows The week just closed
has witnessed almost o collapse in the
mining Boards, and surprised many who
had noted the quiet strength of the mar
ket during the previous week. 1t has been
in fact q bear market, with raids " on
several good stocks continued persistently.
Chrysolite has not suffered materially, but
Robinson Con. has been let down "
much to the disadvantage OF the late pur-
chasers. The State Lines have also been
"persecuted," but stand the attack fairly.
The fanatical faith in the Comstocks in
San Francisco continues to bury money
that might with advantage be used in de-
veloping hundreds Of new and rich mines
in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. The
incessant booms that amount to nothing
in the Comstocks are getting to be ridicu-
lous, and investors who continue to put up
their money simply to make a few sharpers
wealthy, are still more absurd. The list
less tone of the market at present, we
trust, will DOR give way to active effort,
and bring forward stocks of merit that are
now patiently paying dividends without
receiving the confidence Of buyers.

a Man Highly Connected F0rgss
for n stake to GambIe On.

Tor n stake TO Gamble On.
G. l.. Murphy Of Ruby Hill was arrested
Sunday on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, on a warrant sworn
out by Charley Graham, of Graham & Co.
Murphy was admitted to bail for 5000 yes
terday, and his trial set for Wednesday.
The circumstances of the case are as fol-
lows: Murphy had been q constant
player at one of the faro games in Ora
ham d Co.'s saloon. He seemed always to
have the command Of all the money he
needed for gambling /; and he had almost
invariably won, beating the game alto
gether out of a considerable sum. He is
a man Of about 80 years of age. genteel in
manners, and until lately unsupported OF
any crookedness in the community. He
is employed above ground at the Eureka
Consolidated, at 81 a day, sometimes in
one capacity and sometimes in another,
the job being smoothed down for him
probably on account OF his relationship to
Senator William Sharon, whose wife was
Murphy's sister. On Saturday, the 10th
OF November, after banking hours, he
sat down at the faro table to
press his extraordinary luck, and passed
in a check for $125, bearing the forged
signature OF j. Il. Fox, who turns out to
be a myth. His luck had deserted him,
however. and after playing until late at
night, he went away drawing out $40 only.
Before going away he requested H. d.
Johnson, who was dealing, to hold the
check, and he stated that he would come
down in the morning and reclaim it. In
stead OF doing so, he reappeared the next
day and played in a check, drawn as the
first, for SIS. The proprietors Of the faro
game were misled by the fact that they
had received a check on a Ruby Hill man
named Fox in a transaction a few months
before, which was duly honored and paid.
After Murphy had got 5000 in their debt,
however, they began to be suspicious, and
Johnson went, Sunday evening, and called
on Captain Platter Of Paxton & Co.'s bank
to find out whether J. T. Fox had any de-
posit there to his credit. 1t was learned
that no such person had any account with
the bank whatever. johnson saw Murphy
late the same night, and the latter said
There is a misunderstanding about this.
Fox has a credit with the bank, and it
must be in the shape Of a deposit Of stock
certificates. Fox is a Cousin jack
well known on Ruby Hill and a RESPONSE
bic man but you just let the matter rest
and I'll bring you the cash myself" Not
satisfied with this assurance, John
son went to Ruby Hill on Monday,
the 21st, to look further into the affair.
Whereupon Murphy confessed the whole
business, saying that there is no such per-
son as j. T. Fox known to him, and that
he felt lucky and that he thought he would
win as usual and nobody would be hurt.
He begged for time till Saturday to make
a settlement saying that he could rustic
and get the money and that he would do
80. The indulgence was granted and he
failed to come to time; so that Sunday
morning he was arrested and charged as
already stated.

A ACCIDENT.
A BOY Fourteen Years Old Turn
bIes 500 Feet Down q Shaft.

A hoy Fourteen Years OAd Tum'
bIes o Feet Down q Shaft.
Johnny O'Keefe, a lad OF Ruby Hill,
was employed to carry drinking water for
the men at work in the new hosting works
of the LOGAN shaft. Sunday morning
Johnny went into the tunnel with his
buckets as usual; had filed one and car
ried it into the drift a few feet and re-
turned to fill the second. The general
supposition is that after filling the second
bucket from the tank, which is about eight
feet from the shaft, he blew out his 4ight,
and in ~endeavoring to find the bucket in
the darkness mistook his direction and
walked into the shaft.
There was no one on the first level at the
time, and the first intimation received that
anything was wrong was by Engineer AL.
Newman and others on the surface, who
noticed the cable in the north compartment
shaking violently, and they Immediately
after heard a thud and a rattle as il some
thing had fallen heavily on the cage, which
was standing at the bottom or the seventh
level. They concluded at once that some
thing had fallen from the station on the
first level, and calling down the shaft and
receiving no answer, they began to invest
igate. They inquired of the men working
near the mouth Of the tunnel if any one
had entered it, and found that Johnny
O'Keefe was the last to go in. Men were
sent into the tunnel, and finding the buck
cts and lamp and the boy gone, the truth
was apparent. The reels were unclutched
and John Davy. Frank Holmes, Dan. Will
liamsa and Andy Stinson went to the bottom
in the south compartment. Here they
found the body. The boy had fallen about
500 feet. He apparently struck feet first
on the bonnet of the cage, which he broke
through, and when found was so tightly
wedged between the cribbing and a car that.
was standing on the cage, that it was with
difficulty that he was taken out. He was
brought to the surface, horribly mangled,
and almost unacceptable. His back
head and lower face were crushed, neck
and back broken, both legs broken above
the knee, and his left arm broken at the
wrist.
The case is a peculiarly sad one, as he
was the main support of an aged and
widowed mother, whose grief is almost
frantic. He was an unusually good boy,
and liked by all for his u~prightness and
Industrious habits. He has a brother
about his own age and a sister a trife
younger. His mother is distreesingly un-
fortunate. About three years ago her hus-
band was killed by an accident, and only
last Thursday she fell upon the ice and
dislocated her wrist. She is indeed an OBJ
ject OF pity, and her many sympathizing
friends are endeavoring in every way to
alleviate her sufferings and console her in
her grief.-Ruby Hill Mining News.
