The English papers are continually dis
cussing questions of the most vital consc-
quencc, the latest being whether the COM
ing woman will or will not smoke. The
answer likely to occur to any one who has
knowledge of the sex will be that she will
if she wants to, and If she doesn't no power
on earth can make her. Some of the papers
are arguing this important question very
exhaustivcly, and one of them concludes
that if men don't want their wives and
daughters to smoke they must provide
them with hcalthful exercise, keep them
from being overworkcd and feed them
well. The feebleness of the argument is
shown, however, by the fact that the men
who smoke the most are those who live the
best and have abundance of leisure. What
is the proverb about the comparative use of
sauce for the male and female anserinc
biped =?

Tho body of the notorious young scoun-
drel who occasionally answered to other
names but was universally known as Billy
the Kid, and who was happily killed last
July, was buried in long neglected ceme-
terry near Fort Sumner. Five days after.
ward the body was snatched from the
ground, conveyed to Las Vegas, New Mex
leo, and slipped into the private Office OF
n physician in that place There the head
was removed, and after sufficient manipula.
ton the skull assumed the polished and
clearly appearance appropriate to such q
relic. The body. was buried again in "a
secret place to avoid discovery and allow
excitement to subside, and in due time the
complete skeleton of Billy the Kid will dan
gle before the delighted eyes ofthe students
in some medical college. This is the story
told by the Las Vegas Optic, but that organ
may have been too much dilated to discern
the facts in the case clearly.

Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-04-28

The best Town I'm the Enjoy ment Of
the Best Name ON the Pacific
Coast.
Eureka is just now receiving a large in
hux Of strangers. The number Of strange
faces noted on our streets daily is quite out
OF the usual routine Of things on the Base
Range. The travel on the Z. & p. has no.
tably increased during the past month. A
good many people from abroad are visiting
the district to inspect our mines and to
view the general outlook for business op-
portunities Of various kinds. In all parts
OF the country Eureka bears a better name
than any town on the Pacific Coast. But
Tor the rush to Arizona first, and Wood
River second, we would unquestionably
have enjoyed a big boom here the present
season. As it is, we seem to be catching a
fair share OF those who are in search of q
favorable point at which to locate. Let
them come. They will find that Eureka
possesses advantages over any of the new
camps that are s%pringing into prominence
on unknown merits. There is nothing
problematical about the future Of Eureka.
The value and permanency Of our mineral
resources are we'll ascertained to be unex-
celled by any mining center on the face Of
the globe. Wood River and Arizona,
either or both, may prove as good, but
that is a fact remaining to be demonstrated.
The moral of all this is that it is better to
stick to a place Of ascertained and univer-
sally acknowledged merits, than take the
chances in new fields Of which little or
nothing is known. Eureka will be q pros
porous mining center when many Of the
new camps which are now SO attractive to
the restless spirits Of the country have
passed from memory.

One Nevada Man who is not En.

The Ward Reflex Of last Saturday prints
the following: John s. Nelson, a former
resident of this place, has reached Wood
River and has been heard from. Nels is
evidently Of the opinion that 1t was dis
lance that lent enchantment to Wood River
and not mines. In q letter TO Bob Foster
under date of Bellevue, April ~, he
says "I have been here three days and I
do not know what to think of the place.

Bullion mine is about twelve miles from

near this place. A town has been laid out
on the river six miles from the mine. This
is a large country, and I would advise
every one coming to bring plenty OF
money, as there is 40 way as yet up here

Col, ReiIIy,s Fame,

The London Daily News. one Of the
most popular Of English newspapers, has
a valued and newsy correspondent in
Eureka. In one Of the latest numbers Of
that journal we find a long letter from
this district signed "Ruby HILL" from
which we extract the opening paragraph.
1t reads thus:
"Old miners say there is more snow
than ore on Prospect Mountain just now
The Richmond Company has immense
quantities Of lead piled up about the
works. Col. Reilly has laid a good sub
stantial Stag crossing across Main street,
from the Ruby and Dunderberg Office,
which will be appreciated by lady pedes-
TRANS. We learn that H. W. Brooks. who
went to Boston some time since for the
purpose of disposing OF several mines, has
succeeded in selling the Albemarle, Dirigo
and Green Seal, all Mccoy Hill properties.
Let the good work proceed"
The readers OF the News will no doubt
thank their correspondent for the informa-
ton that Col. Reilly has laid a substantial
Stag crossing. It is not quite as import
ant as the assassination Of the Gear or the
deadlock in the Senate, yet it is important,
if not sensational, from the fact that 1t
shows how regardful we in Eureka are for
the comfort Of lacy pedestrians. It also
establishes the fame OF Col. Reilly
throughout the known world as the most
gallant engineer in modern history.

How Mining Enterprises are
Damned i'm New York.
A New York mining journal draws this
truthful picture Of how mining enterprises
are wrecked by operators in that city:
"This it pays to remember: That it don't
pay to run a mining company on e~xtrava-
CANT principles any more than it pays to
run any other business in the same man.
ner. Extravaganza has been the milestone
that has sunk more thar one mining com-
pany having headquarters in this city, and
which, if they had been conducted on
strictly economical and business principles,
might have been to-day among the respect
able and paying companies. There are
several companies that come up before our
minds eye as we write who, a year ago,
were selling stock, and spending the money
in the most lavish manner that are to-day
in the most povertv-stricken circumstances
as a consequence. Of their thoughtless ex-
t~ravagance. The usands Of dollars were
spent in furnishing a suite OF Offices, issu-
ing prospectuses at thirty or forty cents
apiece, and in various other ways, when q
large portion OF it should have been paid
out in developing the mine. The chief OBJ
ject which seems to have been had in view
by these companies was the selling of their
stock. Their efforts were all concentrated
In this direction, and the development Of
the mines was left as q secondary consid-
Grafton. This was all very good-for the
companies-while the boom" lasted and
the stock sold readily; but when the dull
times came, and the stock Of an undevel-
oped mine could scarcely be given away,
these high-toned vendors of mining stocks
found themselves ON their backs in a hole
from which they have been all these month";
trying 10 extricate themselves, with but
very poor success. One after another they
have succumbed to the inevitable, until it
seems as though their ranks must be pretty
well th;uned OUT

area,l and water Diet.

The Migrants, incarcerated at the Coun-
ty Jail. continue to hold out against labor,
and prefer the seclusion Of prison life, with
bread and water diet, to an active exis-
tence under Gods sunshine out OF doors.
The prisoners MAJ not be constitutionally
opposed to physical exercise, but they ap-
pear to have q holy horror for work on the
public streets. A SENTINEL reporter in
terviewed them last evening. It was the
closing Of the third day Of their fast.
They were exceedingly cheerful, and APP
peared to be quite contented with their lot.
They refuse point blank to serve out their
respective sentences in what is designated
as the chain-gang, and claim to be able to
endure as much hardship under blankets
as the law allows Tailor F~itzmaurice to
impose. Mr.. Cooper asserted that he had
lived so well that he was growing obese,
and q little Tannerizing would be beneh-
cial to him. His stomach might growl
somewhat, but his mind was at ease.
He had not yet dreamt Of starvation. and
didn't propose to lose any sleep. His SEN
timents were reflected by the ether four,
and in all probability the Jailor will have
to continue the prescribed bill Of fare I'M
til the expiration Of their sentences.

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, aud therefore
know the texture of any piece of Goods, and
the actual value thereof, and being in the
market all the time know when they see a
piece of new goods. and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed of
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get a certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell SO cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lesseAing our expenses. If we
had to keep . set of books wes 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 invitations are out for the seventh
annual reunion Of the FL Dorado County,
California, pioneers. 1t takes place at
Shell Mound Park May7. There are quite
Q number Of old FL Doradoites In this sec
ton Of Nevada who would doubtless be
glad to be present and participate in the
festivities Of the occasion. Among those
we now recall may be mentioned Major
John h. Dennis, Oscar Fairchild, Hon.
Thomas Wren. Judge F. H. Harmon, Mr..
and Mrs. D. W. Levan, Col. P. P. Cana
van and Judge D. @. Mckinney. No
doubt there are many others in these
parts. for Ell Dorado was once the most
populous mining county in the Golden
State. The SENTINEL hopes the old timers
may have q jolly time on the occasion OF
their forthcoming reunion.

A has been floating about the
streets for several days Of an important
find by the Albion Company. As the story
runs. the Richmond. just before being en-
joined, had discovered an immense ore
body in = drift in what Is known as Albion
No. 1. Ascertaining that they had crossed
over the Albion line, they withdrew and
plugged up the drift. In making surveys
for the purposes Of the late trial, the Al
bion people are alleged to have discovered
this blind drift and explored ii to its full
length, with the result already indicated.
The SENTINEL does not assume RESPONSE
bility for the correctness Of these rumors,
though they are detailed with the most
minute particularly by persons on the
street. who profess to be familiar with all
the facts. This journal Is always glad to
hear Of the discovery Of new bonanzas in
the district, no matter how or by whom
made. ~

which was being led up Main street from
the depot. The animal has just been inn
ported from Mclean County, Illinois. by
Joshua Whitesides. and has been II days
on the road. He does not appear to have
suffered any from the journey. Before
starting he weighed 1870 pounds. He is
seven years old and has served three
seasons. He will be taken to Lamoille
Valley by Mr.. Whitesides, where he will
stand during the Summer. He is Of

the Comstock, are drawing crowded houses
nightly. A telegram received here y%ester-
day by the agent of the troupe. Mr.. Froom,
states that the company has made q most

would be q very successful one. This is a
good recommendation for the troupe; bet
ter perhaps than would be the praise OF
some OF the big dailies Of the Bay. The
Sacramento and Carson papers have spoken

utterances are a fair criterion by which to
