Guiteau's irrepressible conduct in court
leads the New York .Sun to inquire if Presi-
dent Garfield's assassin has not been study
ing the record of the trial of Lawrence, the
lunatic who tried to kill Andrew Jackson
When Lawrence was arraigned before the
court. and before half a dozen words had
been said by the District Attorney, the pris-
oner darted from his seat, shouting in sub
stance: what means this indignity? Is it
decreed that [ am to be brought here? And
for what? [ desire to know if I, who claim
the crown of the United States likewise the
crown of Great Britain, am to be treated
thus?' His counsel wanted him removed,
but the court refused and he was quieted
with difficulty. During the examination of
witnesses the prisoners Interruptions were
continued thus:
Prisoner starting up wildly)-What |
have done to Jackson is on account of money
which he owes me. The United States Bank
has owed me money since 1902, and want
it. I must have my money from that bank.
You are under me, gentlemen,
The deputy marshal tried to pacily him
and prevail on him to sit down.
Prisoner Ito the deputy marshal indig-
nantly Mr.. Woodward mind your own
business, or | shall treat you with severity
1t is for me, gentlemen, to.pass upon you
and not you upon me.
The prisoners counsel requests for the sec
ond time that the prisoner may be sent out,
and the court says he may go if he desires.
Prisoner (starting up again)-I deny the
power of this court to try me [ am superior
to it, and what I want is my revenue.
Prisoners counsel-Be calm Mr. Law
renee; you shall have your rights
Prisoner-Ay. but when?
Prisoners counsel-To-day
Prisoner-You will let me have my funds?
Prisoners counsel-Yes, to-day
The prisoner sits down and allows his
counsel to call the witnesses upon his in
sanity.
Scoyille does not pursue the course of
Lawrence's counsel in soothing and quieting
his client, as one would an insane person, al
though he assumes the ground of defense
that Guiteau is insane However insane
Guiteau may be- his conduct before the
since in jail, and now during the
trial. shows that he understands the nature
of his crime and its legal consequences to
himself It is doubtful if his interruptions
and speech-making are as good indications
of insanity as Of inordinate conceit, spe-
cies of mental Obliquity which may in rare
cases form as competent ground for detes Sc
for murder as insanity

ABOUr WOOD RIVER.

A Letter from n Lyon County Man.
W. II. Atkinson was a resident Of Silver
City, Lyon county. He went to Wood
River and writes back to the Times as fol-
lows:
Bellevue is the first own you strike, and
owing to this fact has the start as a bust
ness point. There are -four town sites al
ready laid out along the river, and what
bothers most IL TO know which will be the
central point. They have all their respec-
tive groups Of mines, and 1t rests solely on
Developments to determine which will be
the place. Haley, situated about five
miles above Bellevue, is q town but lately
started. The first smelter will be erected
two miles from here, and they intend to
have it in operation in about thirty days.
The mines near this place are the only
ones doing anything. They are working
about 60 men in the Bullion. Quinn and
Idaho, and have out about 500 tones Of
ore. Ketchum, the next place, about IS
miles above here, and Galena, % miles
above Ketchnm, are both laboring under
the press Of too much snow, and it will be
a month or two before the snow will go off
SC that prospectors can see the lodges.
The only thing in which I am disappointed
in is timber. l expected to see immense
tracts covered with it, but it is very scat
tering. There is no lumber to be had, and
it would sell readily for 500 per thousand,
that Is at the present time.
Take IL on the whole, I think this will
be q good country. The mineral belt is
extensive; the climate is fine, and grazing
for stock is splendid. / would not advise
anybody to come here at present in the
hope Of getting work, but for prospectors
this is the country, and they can't get here
too soon.

The amusement public should not for
get Miss Daisy Wendell's benefit on satur-
day, May IA, when the beautiful drama Of
Diplomacy" will be presented by the
Eureka Dramatic Club. The piece is rec
ognized as the best modern production
now on the boards. Its dialogue is Yigor-
Gus and dignihed; its plot intricate and OF
absorbing interest, and the action smooth
and telling, unfolding the play TO it's
climax like a scroll. It's inception is ro-
mantle. its business somewhat sentimental,
and its conclusion highly satisfactory.
The cast requires strong individual efforts,
as nearly all the roles form a conspicuous
part Of the argument. The play win test
the dramatic talent Of the amateurs to the
fullest extent, but we believe they will be
equal to the occasion.

EUREKA, May /, 1881.
EDrron SENTINEL: Being a small holder
of Albion stock, l should like to suggest
that it would be but bare justice for the
stockholders in general of this town and
Ruby Hill to assemble some evening at
the Eureka Opera House for the purpose
Of expressing their thanks, and II neces-
sary making up a purse to be presented to
old "Anticlinal for the great aid he has
given by his lucubrations in the Leader
In raising the value Of our securities in
such q handsome manner
And, Mr.. Editor, / would also suggest
that the honored President OF the In
Urinary be requested to preside on the
occasion, and to confer on said 'tAnti-
clinal" as many degrees Of honor as are in
his to ~give-that is, Of course, If such
action on his part would not conflict with
the well-known rule Of his great society
to utterly ignore naturals. Enclosing a
three cent postage stamp as my contribu-
ton. I am sir, yours very respectfully,

The New York Financial News has the
following: CAS- we have already said. the
indications on all sides point to an APP
preaching season Of unprecedented aetiv-
ity and prosperity in the mining business.
This opinion seems to be general through
out the country. The Arizona press is
unanimous in predicting a revival OF the
interest in that section. The California
and Nevada papers are equally hopeful and
with equally good cause. The Leadville
Herald, just to hand, says; The coming
season will be in every respect the most
profitable that Leadville has ever seen.
And aver the conservative Mining Review
of Chicago chimes in: From whatever
position the question Of mining is viewed,
In the light Of it's development and its in
iuence upon the future Of the worlds
progress and prosperity, the aspect is most
fiattering and encouraging"

The Reflections of n Week as Re-
flected I'm the Reflex of Saturday.

aa1 Va So
The District Court having adjourned
before the Grand Jury got through, that
body submitted a sealed report to the
Clerk OF the Court.
Robert Briggs, Foreman of the Grand
Jury, 1t is conceded by all present at the
parting hour, made a very neat speech to
the Court.
The Hamilton stage was upset Wednes-
day night this side of the Robinson Sum-
nit. Four passengers on board but no
one hurt.
A letter was received here yesterday in
which the writer says a big strike has been
made in the Blue Bell Mine at Silver
Canyon.
Judge. W. s. Bonniield of Humboldt
opened the District Court for Judge Rives
in Hamilton on Monday last, and gave
general satisfaction.
At Osceola, Monday last, VIM. Irvey
took two shots at George Muncey. The
shooting was bad and Muncey escaped
injury from the shots, but not without
two beautiful black eyes from another
source.
The Teacup mill, at Cherry Greek, has
been shut down for the reason that the
engine has not power enough to drive the
machinery. A large ly-wheel has been
ordered and the hope is entertained that
the difficulties under which the company
at present labors will be overcome.

The Regulator i'm Dry Goods.


We call particular attention to the card
published to-day by Messrs. Morris &
Levy, the well known dry goods merchants,
in another column. These gentlemen,
since their advent in this city, have made
it a special study to please the public in
choice goods, and in sweeping reductions
whenever IN opportunity occurred. This
our ladies are especially aware of. In their
card to-day they propose q special reduc-
ton in their beautiful lines of silks,
satins, ~velvets, velveteens, and an extra
ordinary reduction in their cashmeres
and large stock of choice dress goods, do
mestics, ~calicos, ginghams, etc., which
have just been opened, and are now ready
for inspection in their fine Establishment.
In feet, on the whole, their card speaks
sound logic, and knowing them so well we
fully understand the importance il con-
veys to the ladies Of Eureka, Ruby Hill
and vicinity. Mr.. j. Morris, the senior
partner, has had long years experience on
the coast, which, united with the business
qualifications Of both partners, gives this
house a reputation second to none on the
coast. They seek no war, neither do they
follow other establishments, but depend
ON their own business qualifications. They
embrace every opportunity to cater to the
public, and sell their goods at the very
lowest market rates. We therefore advise
our ladies to give this fashionable resort q
call, il only to examine their goods and
prices. We guarantee them a polite and
attentive reception.

Our Reason

In fact, we sell s1l goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit Of
those who want to know how we sell Goods 90
cheap, W 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, inc no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be palmed Oh
on them as being Of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash W get . certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell 80 cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lessening 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 Prospect Mountain Tunnel.

The SENTINEL learns that two days 6 a
cave was encountered in the face Of the
Prospect Mountain tunnel. The cave
shows a soft, kindly formation, carrying a
large per cent Of ledge matter with some
ore. This may be regarded as a very en-
couraging prospect. In this district caves
are q sure indication of ore in quantity
near at hand. The tunnel is getting well
into the heart Of the mountain, and devel-
opments of an important nature are to be
looked for at any moment. The total
length Of the tunnel is in the neighbor-
hood of 1000 feet. There is not q more
important piece OF work being carried on
in the district than the running of the
Prospect Mountain tunnel, and the men
who are standing by it are deserving Of
the highest need Of praise for their pluck
and energy.
