The sale of Mines.

In regard to the prospect of selling
mines, the New York World says it is easier
to do it now in New York than it was six
months ago. II says There is not the
boom which made the Fifth Avenue Hotel
a mining rendezvous a year ago, but there
is not the horror of the word mine which
was felt after Little Chief Joined Chryso-
lite and Little Pittsburg in its farewell to
dividends. Mining is on u better basis
than it has beer before in this city. Capt.
talists are willing TO invest in good mines,
but they a to be assured that they are
good. Large sales of mining properties
have been negotiated during the past
month with noticeable ease. A man who
came here recently with a 20-day bono on a
$40. 900 property closed a bargain within
10 days after his arrival. 1t was, however,
an extra bargain. There is less disposition
to overcapitalize than there was a year
ago, and diminished tendency TO stocking
mines at all. Sales this winter seem to be
largely to men who are not in for a stock
deal, but who propose to work the proper
ties bought. The genuinely rich develop
ments Of the past season in Colorado,
Utah, Nevada Arizona and New Mexico
have had an excellent effect in restoring
that dssideratum, a cautious confidence in
mining properties"

Charley Ducheneaux, one of Utah's en-
terprising citizens, arrived in town on
Monday evening, on a visit to some friends
and to get a sniff of our fumes. Charley
was one of the pioneers of Corinne, where
he carried OF a large livery business with
the finest stud of horses in the Territory.
When the town collapsed he migrated
southwark with the flight of birds, but
now thinks of locating permanently at
Ogden, which, he says, will be the future
metropolis Of Utah. We hope, however,
that Charley will become fascinated with
our climate and picturesque surroundings
and pitch his tent among us, for we also
expect to lay claim to metropolitan honors
at no distant day.

The Grant Mine.

There are hundreds Of good mines on
Prospect Mountain and the surrounding
hills, which, if worked by experienced
miners, could be made to pay more than
81 per day. Many Of them could be leased
on favorable terms. We have one in mind
now. 1t is the Grant mine, on Mccoy
Hill. Some time ago Messrs. Jerry Nc
Mahon. Gus Peterson, NJ. Connery and
John Cuff secured a lease Of the mine.
They worked it to good profit. but as the
warm days Of the past few weeks has re-
vived the desire to travel, and as Bob Wat
ers and brother had a liking for the looks
Of the mine, they sold out their lease to
the Waters Brothers. The mine remains
in the hands Of the lessees FIR ten months
longer, and they must have great faith in
its future yield, il we judge by the price
the Waters boys paid the original lessees
Of the property. The Grant ore has al
ways been of high grade. and we under
stand that its yield promises well from
the present outlook. Jerry Mcmahon and
his associates are good miners. and we
hope they will get hold OF some other
property In this district.

James E. Anderson of the Mining News
says our reporter was a trif1e off when he
stated that Jim would father " the pros
peetus to be issued for the purpose Of ad-
vertising Eureka Mining District. The
matter rests entirely with some of our best
mining men, surveyors and civil engi-
neers, who propose to squelch the cry of
'' Where in hell is Eureka, anyhow 2" by
publishing facts and figures that all may
read and become rich, as well as wise in
the perusal thereof. Mr.. Anderson will
compile the same and submit it to a COM
mittee OF our best citizens for their ap-
proval or rejection. Jim will fill the bill
and enter into the details of the matter
thoroughly. Let us all lend a helping
hand.

Lula.

Jim Kyle, Angus McCuaig. Billy stin-
son and a couple other solid Ruby Killers,
are owners in the Lulu mine at the head
of the canyon above that town. A gang
of men have been kept as constantly at
work as have the employees of the Rich
mond or Eureka Con. for many months.
The scene of their labors now ia from a
drift on the l00-foot level. From that
level a drift was run in a westerly direc-
ton under the mountain about $50 feet;
thence one was run south IN favorable
matter, but where the hope OF a big thing
il now conferred is the north drift, which
bears towards the Grant mine. The gen
tlemen certainly display a good deal Of
pluck, and we hope they will reap their
reward.

In a letter to Alex. Wilson, Esq, Capt.
A. D. Rock writes a very entertaining ac-
count of how the Chinese resolutions were
received in the Assembly. AS we pub
lished, yesterday morning, the same, it is
useless to repeat 1T. The Captain says it
was readily understood to be Chinese tur-
key and bnzzard for the poor white trash.
Privately, the Captain tells who are his
supporters for the Wardenship, and he will
get it, sure, il his men stand by him. He
also requests any who have work they
want accomplished at this session Of the
Legislature to say SO, as the people Of
Eastern Nevada are strong enough to be

Assembly nil No. 80.

There ia a spirit Of fairness about AS
sembly bill No. so which is justly meant,
and it will probably become a law in lieu
of the "Act to protect the wages Of labor"
which was approved Feb. 81, 1878. This
act was drafted by our townsman, Alex.
Wilson, Esq. aud Hon. Geo. W. Merrill
in the Assembly. 1t differs from the old
law only in the case Of executions, attach
ments and writs of a similar nature that
three notices must be served instead Of
one. thereby avoiding any sly business. in
the sale Of property. The new bill calls
for the serving OF a notice to the officer,
the creditor and the debtor, SO IL there is
ground for dispute it Is advertised sufi
GENTLY to do away with all possibility OF
fraudulent sales.

EureAa Tunnel.

Owing to the impure air in the header
OF the Eureta Tunnel they can work but
one shift in 81 hours at the present time,
but a change for the better in this respect
is evident within the past few days. This
is accounted for by the change Of forma-
ton. The tunnel is now in $50 feet, and
the head Of the tunnel is upwards OF 1000
feet below the surface. The ore indications
are more favorable at the present scene OF
labor than they have been for the past 800
feet. They are out OF the shale entirely
and are working in a mixture OF clay and
spar. We should not BIZ surprised if the
next deal in mining stocks along the Base
Range was In that OF the Eureka Tunnel.

About II 80 last evening the contents of
a slag-pot rolled into a snow bank below
the Richmond dump and bursted, creating
a noise like the bursting of a shell. 1t
was heard all over the city, and people
near the Eureka Con. turned out with in
q~uiries as to Who is shot?" Whenever
the haulers Of Stag reach the end Of the
dump they set the pot on the edge thereof
and back they go for another pot. On the
return trip they knock out the Stag and
roll it down. The outside is cold. and
when it comes in contact with water OF
snow an explosion follows. for the center is
still red hot. Fatal results might follow
such explosions, for the fragments fly all
about.

he journeys will have the sympathy of his
many friends in Eureka.

Frank Sheridan, at Bartlett's, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Johnny Dean, dated
Prescott, Arizona, Jan. is, 1881. Johnny,
it will be remembered, was Of the Dean
Liggett party, who went overland with
teams and heavy loads. He prefers rail-
road travel TO mud-wagons in the winter.
They made a very quick trip, considering
that they had to dig out and double team
295 times on the road. Johnny says it
was colder than "Billy-be dogoned." They
got snowed in at Qninn Canyon. and their
horses went back on them-37 miles. He
is not particularly stuck after Prescott,
the whole outfit is resting mp while the
stock is on good grass in the vicinity.
Nickels are of the same Importance there
that dimes are in Eureka. Johnny thought
it pretty tough to run a "bit house, in Eu-
reka. but says it now looks like q fve-cent
business or nothing.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Miners are very
often led astray by newspaper items. 1t
was published in Jour paper the other day
that DR.. j. A. Nesbitt had paid three men
for good work performed on the Delaware
No. 2 mine. For the benefit OF miners l
beg you to contradict that statement, and
say instead that he is indebted to four
men for work performed on that mine,
to the amount of over $500. The Della
ware No. Q mine is undoubtedly a good
property, and if DR.. N. would attend
properly to his business he would likely
regain his lost reputation.
Mr.. Hugh Hamilton is working the
mine on tribute, and it is through his gen.
crosby that Nesbitt has been spared the
trouble of getting his work in on the res
taurants and clearinghouse.
Very respectfully, r. E. COLE.

The outlook for Nevada, so far as carry
ing on a State government is concerned, is
not very brilliant just now. The revenue
from taxes on proceeds Of mipes has ALLEN
off very greatly. and the values of all tax
able property are decreased. The Treasury
is in such a condition that the State must
borrow money in order to carry on the
government. The Comstock people are
still hopeful, and say the old lodi will
come out all right yet; but / notice that
the population of storey county is con-
t~inually decreasing by departures to Ari-
zona aud New Mexico. Storey has seen
her dull times before, but never such bus
mess depression as at present. Gold Hill,
once so full of life and hustle, looks like a
deserted village, and in Virginia everybody
is complaining of hard times. The ex-
penses of conducting the State govern
ment will probably be reduced, but the
| reduction came take place for two years,
and in the meantime the State must go on
in the same extravagant groove that it WAS
running in during the flush times.
Some people contend that the projected
tif bnilt) railroads aud those in course of
construction will increase the taxable prop
| erty Of the State so as to afford sufficient
revenue to support the State government;
but that IL something that only the future
| can decide.
