"Have foreign mine owners no rights
that native Americans are bound to re-
spect 2"
The above conundrum is propounded
by the distinguished attorney Of the Rich
mond Company, ostensibly Of Nevada, but
really Of London. The distinguished at
torney is unfortunate in hurting this poser
at an u~noffending world. 1t would
come much nearer to the mark If it
were reversed: "Have native Ameri-
cans any rights which alien mine
owners are bound to respect" 1t
seems not in the case Of the Richmond.
Everybody in this community knows that
the real owners Of the Richmond Mine are
aliens; everybody knows that every dollar
Of profit resulting from the working Of
the Richmond Mine goes to London and
is divided among these aliens; everybody
knows that it is against the law of this
country for aliens to acquire mineral
lands by location; everybody knows that
the alien proprietors of the Richmond,
the real parties in interest, have acquired
acres of valuable mining ground in this
district through the fundamentally Of
persons qualified to appropriate the public
domain; everybody knows that every such
entry was a fragrant and palpable evasion
of the law Of the land; everybody knows
that these fraudulent methods Of the alien
owners Of the Richmond have been toll
Grated with scarcely q murmur from the
" native Americans Of this district. We
submit then hat the distinguished attor-
ney OF the Richmond. all Of the circum-
stances considered, is particularly un-
fortunate in charging, even by inuendo,
that the aliens whom he represents have
not been fairly and literally dealt with
by the people of Eureka District.

purnacien. Inaividual..

Al. Skinner and Denny Mann got into o
quarrel in a downtown saloon on wednes-
day evening, and Skinner gave Mann . se-
we're beating, backing both his eyes and
cutting his left cheek with a ring. Denny
was wholly under the influence Of liquor
and quite abusive. Skinner, after the
fight, 1t is alleged. gloried in his ability to
whip Mann in any way. shape or form.
This boast being conveyed to Mann yester-
day morning, he agreed to meet Skinner at
the baseball grounds at 2 o'clock. Mann
was promptly on the ground with some OF
his friends, but Skinner did moi put in an
appearance, sending as an excuse that he
had injured one of his hands during the
fight the evening previous, and therefore
was unable TO meet his opponent, but he
was willing to face him Q week hence.
The friends Of Mann were very indignant
at this turn Of affairs, and charged that
Skinner had shown the white feather.
Mann, we understand, will challenge Skin
ner to meet him with small gloves, in or
der to evade the law, and mutual friends"
are now ~endeavoring to get up a contest.
Both men are somewhat noted for their
pugilistic encounters, and IL they can be
brought together there may be . good
battle.

KeIton, Utah.

A letter from this place by an old Eu-
rekan. Geo. H. Cook, under date Of May
8, to a friend in the SENTINEL Office, says
"Kelton is now q pretty busy place, and
will continue to be SO as long as the Wood
River excitement lasts, and from reports
il is more likely TO continue than abate.
Mrs. and Ward Allen were here a few days
ago, and are by this time at Bellevue.
Hank Knight and Gabriel Cohn, who have
been knocking about town for several days,
started East yesterday. Their destination
was Salt Lake City. There is a large
amount Of freight being shipped from
here to the mines, and this, with the large
number Of strangers in the place, gives US
the appearance Of thrift and business i'm
portance. The Kelton House, the best
s'hotel" here, is doing a rushing trade. If
any Base Rangers come this way, I would
recommend them to this institution. A
funny incident occurred the other day.
A cripple came to Kelton and took charge
OF the town, threatening everybody with
dire calamity. He became so violent and
abusive that one Of our citizens was COM
PEELED to lay him low with the soft side Of
a club. That evening the fellow disap-
peared. He was almost entirely without
legs, having them amputated above the
knee, and evidently thought his unfortu-
nate condition gave him a license to do as
he pleased. II this town can be made the
main d~ebouching point for Idaho and
Wood River 1t will grow into some prom
inence during the present year."

HOW PARSONS ADVERTISE.

The annexed article being from q jour.
nal-the Brooklyn Eagle-published in
Brother Beecher's own diocese is quite
suggestive:
"Can I do anything for you in my line
to-day? ?" asked an advertising agent, lay
ing his card before q prominent Brooklyn
theologian.
"But, my dear sir, I'm a clergyman p
protested the dominic. "I don't adver-
tise. I don't need it,"
"Humbug |" responded the agent, seat
ing himself on the table. "They all ad-

"I don't believe in heretical sermons"
said the t~heologian, musingly.
Hit off some other parson then. Come
out and say he's no account. Bang him
around a few Sundays and leave the rest

THE OPERA HOUSE.
A Musical Treat that was Most
Heartily Enjoyed.

Heartily Enjoyed.
"Genevieve de Brabant" was presented
last night to o two-third house, the small
est OF the season thus far. As q musical
composition the opera is fully up to the
Ofenbach standard, but the arrangement,
or dialogue, Of 81. b. Farnie is not in
keeping with the score, and runs through
somewhat YEARLY, though the incidental
business, almost entirely given up to local
| gags. saved it from falling q little heavy.
The burden of the opera, or rather the
music, falls to Drogan, q baker, n after
wards a page in the Dukes household.
Miss Soldene took the part, and rendered
it in an admirable manner The score
gave her full opportunity to use her
magnificent voice, and gem followed gem
to. enthusiastic applause and encore.
Sleep On, My Friend" the lullaby to
Genevieve, and "The Music Of the Mar.
riage Bells" were decidedly the prettiest,
the former showing to what splen-
did perfection the human voice may be
trained. Also in the duet with GeDevieye
the beautiful melody was sung with artistic
effect and was rapturously applauded.
These songs fairly captivated the audience,
and held it spell-bound a. the silvery
notes died in the faintest sound in the
prima donna's throat. Rose Stella had
little singing to do in the title role, but
she made up for it in the duct with Drogan-
and in the kissing song. Marshall and
Hersee, however, were the lions Of the
evening, and as the brave and imperturba-
BILE gendarmes, Gaburge and Pitou, offered
a budget OF fun, and brought in an array
Of local hits that sent the house into an
uproar again and again. Messrs. Camp
bell, Appleby and Quinton filed their re-
spective parts excellently. Miss st. John
confidant Of Genevieve. Miss Clara Eli
son, the pretty and shapely little lady who
led the chorus up to last evening, wal for
the first time seen to advantage,
and made a most pleasing page.
Miss Maggie Duggan was r~esplendant in
the final costume, and exhibited her grace
full person to admiring eyes. The con-
noisseurs Of the female form divine
were allowed to feast on the contour Of
her anatomy at will. II was like looking
at the picture OF some chisseled beauty.
The dance Of "Allemand," though good,
did not reach expectations.
Tonight " Planquette's "favorite opera,
"Ghimes Of Normandy" will be given.
Our people have seen the Melvilles play il
twice, but if they desire q real treat
they should not miss the Soldene
version. Emily Soldene will play Serpo-
lette. and Rose Stella, Germaine. The
Marquise de Bonneville will be personated
by Mr.. Campbell and Grenechieux by Mr..
Appleby. Mr.. Quinton will do the Baillie
and Mr.. Hersee his clerk Gobo. But the
principal dramatic feature will be the old
miser (Gaspard) by Mr.. Marshall, a per-
Torrance that will be the event of the sea-
son. During the piece the Partisan eccen-
trio dance " Clodoches," by Misses Maggie
Duggan, Mary Maxwell, Clara Elliston
and V. st. John will be introduced, and in
which these ladies will demonstrate their
proficiency in the terpsichorean art.

These mining people must recognize the
power Of printers ink. The SENTINEL
put Its shoulder under the Albion mine
and boosted 1t to the value Of three-quar-
ters Of q million. The SENTINEL let up
because 1t thought 1t had made money
enough for a small batch Of it's poor
neighbors. Then appeared the distin-
guished attorney Of the Richmond with

sit down violently on all the Albions, he
would. He threw the immense weight Of

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to know how we sell Goods so
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market. and are thoroughly con.
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, and therefore
know the texture of any piece OF Goods. aud
market all the time know when they see .
piece of new goods, and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be pslmed Oh
on them as being Of the latest pattern. And
a. we buy our goods for cash we get . certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some Of the reasons why We
sell SO cheap. Another reason lie we sell for
cash, thereby lesseAing our expenses. II we
had to keep . set of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts Of others to make good their losses.

The leadership Of the Conservative
party in Parliament seems to deyolve

who sustained the whole burden OF it in

istry of Beacons6eld, and who has no

all able to command the ~sympathies and

The leadership in the House of Lords is
not easy to settle, but it is not a presum'
