straw brick, In addition to 1000. 900

The experiences gained on the New
Jersey side will render the work on this
side OF the river comparatively easy.
The only obstacle Of any account to be
encountered and overcome 10 the loose
silt aud mud which extends thirty feet
below low water mark. All depth OF
sixty feet solid ground 10 found. but to
make assurance d0ubly sure. the sxca-
vation OF the shaft will extend ten feet

June that work en- the tunnel on this
side will b begun, and II present calcu'
lations are not at fault, the New York

Tommy Douglas and a few select friends
had lots of fun yesterday morning. Tom
my's private residence is on Monroe street.
Upon the side Of the house is a nail, and
upon that nafl, every night, is hung a
milk can. Sometimes the milk was not
there and the entire household would bless
the milkman for a neglect OF duty. Fin
ally, Sunday morning, the can and all was
gone. Tommy purchased another can and
introduced therein a rousing dose Of croton;
hung it on the nail; the milsman appeared
in due time, aud filled the same with un-
sdulterated tactical fluid; the thief, also,
soon appeared, swallowed the whole bust
ness aud did not get past the rear OF the
Turner House ere he was Strengthened out
like a +" pizened pup" But we will pull
down the blind We'd rather swallow the
adulterated sample which was ON exhibit

Dave Lesser. who not many months ago
was of the firm of Farmer & Lesser, Main
street, Eureka, is now doing a big trade
in the dry goods and clothing line, in COM
pany with his brother Louis, at Albu-
querque, New Mexico. While here Dave
made the acquaintance of a very estimable
young lady, Miss Sarah Koshland, a sister
in-law of Abe Mooser. By reference to the
Albuquerque Daily Journal Of Jan. IA. We
see that Dave has followed that acquaint-
anceship up to a final issue, for on the 18th
instant they were married in that city,
The ceremony was witnessed by a large
number Of friends, and judging from the
sssend-off" given the affair by the Journal,
the occasion was one which will live long
in the hearts Of the participants as being a
s'royal time" Dave never did do things
by halves, and in such an event we'll
wager that nothing was lacking in hospi-
talitv and good cheer. The good wishes OF
many in Eureka will follow Mr.. and Mrs.
Dave Lesser all the days of their lives, and
the SENTINEL stands in.

Ed. SENTINEL: In your columns it has
been given to the public that James Myers
and Geo. E. Bennett had been by Justice
Tom Robinson of Newark bound over to
appear before the Grand Jury of White
Pine county for grand larceny, in the steal
ing of certain cattle.
Now we beg, in the name Of justice. to
be allowed to state the facts in regard to
the case. At the examination it was
proven that on the 18th inst. Myers and
Bennett bought of Adolph Brehe four head
of cattle. After having driven them to the
Dew Drop" corral they found that two of
the cattle belonged to R. Sadler, and in
formed the lady at the place of the fact,
and called her as a witness to the brands,
in order that they would not be compelled
to pay Brehe for them. Charley Mau,
Sadler's agent, came up to see the Sadler
cattle, and claimed that another Of the
cattle belonged to McMenomy. McMen-
omy came up. The steer was thrown, and
it proved to be his animal. Neither Myers
nor Bennett ever refused to give up the
cattle. Mr.. Brehe swore that he did sell
and deliver all Of the four head of cattle,
as described by the witnesses. to Myers
and Bennett, believing them to be his own
property. Judge Robinson, no~twithstand-
ing this testimony, under the instructions
of Horace d. Beene, acting District Attor-
ney, and all the other officers, bound
Myers and Bennett over, and then admit
ted them to bail, although he and Mr..
Beene must know that the Grand Jury will
not indict. Yours truly,
GEO. E. BENNETT,
JAMES MYERS.

EUREKA AND COLORADO RAIL
ROAD.


EDITOR SENTINEL: The certificate Of in
corporation of the Eureka and Colorado
River Railroad discloses the following
facts, to which is invited the careful atten-
ton Of the people: The incorporators
named are M. ID. Foley, r. Richard, W.
H. Remington, H. johnson, John e.
Platter. J.. s. Whitton, r. Sadler, Thomas
Wren, Henry Rives and George W. Baker.
The capital stock is five million dollars,
divided into fifty thousand shares Of the
value Of one hundred dollars each, and
five hundred shares have been taken by
each of the above named persons.
Under the Perley bill, Eureka county,
after paying out the sum Of one hundred
thousand dollars in bonds, will be allowed
TO W one thousand shares OF the stock,
an amount equal to the number Of shares
already standing in the names Of any two
Of the incorporators, say for instance
George W. Baker and Judge Rives. The
three counties Of Eureka, White Pine and
Lincoln. after paying out a half a million
of dollars in bonds will own five thousand
shares of stock out of an issue Of fifty
Thousand shares. Ten thousand shares are
thus accounted for. What has or will be-
come Of the remaining forty thousand
shares is the question? No doubt many
shares Of it either have been or will be put
where they will do the most good. The coun-
ties stand about as much chance for divi-
dends or profits in this railroad scheme as
three milk-white doves would for their
lives in the nest OF ten hawks.
The promoters OF this railroad project
have published an anonymous circular or
manifesto addressed to the taxpayers of the
three counties. Its authors are under
stood to be George w. Baker and Judge
Riyes, assisted by Senator Hobart. Most
of this document has appeared before in
the SENTINEL ia the shape of q communi-
cation from Fair Play" and to which re
ply was made on the 22d instant. Some
further answer to this lawyers brief will
be given hereafter by ANTI-SuBsrDY.

Superintendent Fonlke OF the Star in
forms us, says the White Pine News Of the
Esd. that good ore has been struck in the
south ledge on the 300-foot level east, rs feet
further east than any working yet lone in
the mine. The new development was made
in running a tunnel from the outside.
From 450 to 500 tons of ore are now on
the dumps at the mill and mine. and an
average Of 20 tons per day can be ex-
tracted for many months to come. Ten
men were laid off last week on account Of
the large quantities OF ore. which so choke
up the drifts as to keep the force working
at q disadvantage. The most important
subject now presenting itself to the Super
intendent is how to increase the crushing
capacity Of the mill. and it is more than
likely that enlarged milling facilities will
have to be supplied before long.

White Pine News: Last Thursday we
paid II short visit to Egan Canyon, and
through the courtesy of Foreman Frank
Hallowell were taken through the tunnel
and shown the several prospecting drifts,
all of which give fair promise to at no
distant day reveal paying ore bodies.
Since the company started up last October
their aim has been to find the lost ledge.
and in this they have succeeded. We saw
some good streaks Of ore, but as yet the
v, ms are not large enough to indicate a
supply sufficient to start up the mill, and
this, we learn, will not be done until larger
ore developments are made. Twenty-one
men are now engaged in the work of ex-
ploration.
