EUREKA TUNNEL STOCK.

The San Francisco Daily Report
Getting the HI Will of Eure'
kans.
The business and mining men Of Eureks
are not pleased with the course Of the San
Francisco Daily Report as bearing upon
matters in this district. We may say, in
deed, that they are deeply indignant to-
ward that journal. They say that the Re-
port never misses an opportunity to give
our new enterprises q slap and black eye.
1t has always bitterly denounced the Al
bion as a swindle. Our people understand
that Fred. Fl. Hart, n Of the editors Of
the Report, is the author Of these articles.
Mr.. Hart il a strong personal and political
friend Of Mr.. Wren of this place, and is
supposed to partake very largely Of Mr..
Wren's dislikes. In the embittered litiga-
ton between the Albion and Richmond,
Mr.. Wren was leading counsel for the lat
ter. This settled the status Of Mr.. Hart
and the Report in the contest. 1t was vio-
lently pro-Richmond, and quite as vicious
ly anti-Albion. 1t even imbibed a deep
hatred for the Robinsons who controlled
VIZ AASAohs AAoouluaDiy shcbV bhluo lhC-
tors inspired its recent assault IDOL the
Eureka Tunnel Company. General Con-
nor controls the tunnel. Acting as his
agent. Col. E. N. Robinson took bond Of
the Ell Dorado No. 2 for the benefit Of the
Tunnel Company. The bond has been
transferred to the company, aud is now on
record in this county, where the property
is situated.
As will be remembered, General Conner
and Mr.. Wren FLASHED here politically a
few years since. The former desired the
Republican nomination for Governor, and
the latter wanted to be returned to
Congress. The split defeated both.
1t is presumed that o feeling of
enmity exists to this day between
the gentlemen named. Mr.. Hart
was a strong partisan Of Mr.. Wren. Gen.
eral Conner offers q valuable mining stock
to the market, and Mr.. Hart hastens to
throw o cloud on the title. Summing up
the facts and circumstances we have re-
lated, the situation explains itself. We
object to the spites ~engendered in q Repub-
lican squabble years ago being perpetuated
and used to the detriment OF the mining
industry of this district. Personally, we
think extremely well of Mr.. Hart, but we
do think at the same time that he occa-
siOuhliy dliOWs LIB lrlouQbnlp 1Or mr.
Wren to outweigh his better judgment,
and, besides, it is not clear that Mr.. Wren
desires that every mining company in the
district, except the Richmond, shall be
la~mpooned. The SENTINEL has . better
opinion of Mr.. Wren than that. But we
fear that Mr.. Hart has thought that he
was serving him in balancing up some of
the old personal and political scores of the
past. Uncle Frederick, w have here the
coming camp Of the universe. You will
all be rushing for front seats in our midst
in less than a year from date. Don't
make mistakes. Be generous; be just.
Stand in and do the fair thing by the
Base Range, and we will interest you in 10
shares Of the capital stock of the Pewter
inctum when we incorporate it. The an
nexed squib has been handed us for pub
LEGATION
Mr.. EDITOR: II the editor of the San
Francisco Stock Report wrote that little
article about the Eureka Tunnel, I think
it about time for him to exchange his lit
tie pen for a little Ratchet. After that eff
fusion he must lie easily on his downy
couch or anywhere else. I only fear he
will continue in a lying posture too long
for his spiritual good. II is my belief that
some venomous child Of the Base Range
secured the services of this editorial gnat-
fly to sting o neighbours horse to death,
but l can inform him that this ia 40
horse. EUREKA.
