stafford District.

We are pleased to learn, from a reliable
source, that the developments now being
made in the above named district are OF a
most satisfactory character. The vein on
the northeast end Of the Onondaga con-
tinues in ore Of a high grade. In the
Mary Ann, q location southeast OF the
Onondaga, a cut was run on the surface
some distance and the ledge struck upon
which shaft is being sunk. AT q depth
OF 20 feet a body OF blue bromide ore five
feet in thickness. with welLdedned walls,
has shown itself. The ore appears to be
strong In place and has every appearance
Of being extensive. At q further depth
prosecuting will commence and the boz
nanza explored.
Work on the Alta is being prosecuted
with yigor. The shaft is down 20 feet:
with ore in the bottom the full width OF
the shaft. The ore is rich, and the pros
pect bids fair to be second to none IN tne
district. ia.
The Constitution has a shaft down 90
feet, with the ore body showing as strong
rs ever. s
The recent stormy weather has retatdea
work on q number Of the best claims.

A Commendable Act.

Constable Penrose arrested a mar on Ruby
Hill the other day IN a charge of drunk
enness and brought him to the Eureka
Jail. He has a son about nine years old,
a very interesting and pleasant-looking
lad. The little fellow has been left to take
care Of himself pretty much. and was lily
or scarcely clad and poorly fed. Mr.. PEN
rose interested himself in the boys behalf,
and endeavored to get the County to take
care Of him, but Commissioners Campbell
thought the matter out OF his or the
Boards Jurisdiction. Not being able to
secure the desired aid, Mr.. Penrose last
evening at his " expense lifted the boy
out In a new suit Of clothes at n Of the
clothing stores on Main street, and intends
to make suitable provisions for his future
home and schooling. ~ IL may be Q long
time before his father will do anything
for him again, II ever.

The following is copied from the London
Mining Journal OF Oct. 90:
From the communications received from
shareholders it would seem that q general
Misrepresentation prevails as TO the imme-
diate prospects of their mine. Sources
more interested in speculative operations
than in the material prosperity Of the en-
terprise have indicated that in depth I'M
favorable results have been realized. Sig
n~ihcantly silent have been those not
altogether disinterested reports that the
Richmond main shaft has been for q con-
siderable depth penetrating quartzite,
wherein productive ore is never looked for.
The shaft is now down 1900 feet, and
drifting has been commenced, not only
towards the ore-bearing strata, but also
towards the Eureka Consolidated, where at
q parallel depth is the richest ore ever
seen in either mine. Hence, a few weeks
exploration will no doubt develop such
new bodies of ore as to place the Richmond
mine in q position ii has never yet occu-
pied as to permanence or diyidend-yield-
ing capabilities. The most important
development in the history Of the Rich.
mond Il near at hand.
Since the above was printed the de.
velopments indicated have been made
mention Of which was made in b SENTI'
MEL several days ago.

another Incorporated Company to
be Added TO the List fn This
District.
j. 3. Wilton and ]. Il. Anderson yester-
day purchased from M. and Peter McGarry
q fraction over one-quarter Of the Banner
mine. The purchase price was $4,000, or
at the rate Of about sec, 900 for the whole
property. The McGarry brothers still
retain nearly a one-quarter interest in the
property. The figures at which the inter-
est changed hands are deemed away down
to bedrock by those familiar with the
mine. The mine ought to sell for q quar-
ter OF a million in any market in the
world. The interest would never have
passed at the low price mentioned, only
that the McGarry brothers are still hold
ing a large interest, the value of which,
they think, will be greatly enhanced by
the infusion OF new blood and capital;
that is to say, the property has passed
into stronger hands and must in thefuture
take a as one Of the leading mining
enterprises in this district. There can be
no doubt about the great value Of the
property, both developed and prospective.

with any amount Of Slopes, drifts, wines,
etc., on the various levels. The total cost
OF these improvements will not fall short
OF SAC, 600. There is any amount of ore
in the mine, from the grass roots down.
Indeed, there is no mine in the district
that gives promise Of a brighter future.
As soon as the above sale had been con-
summated, the new company resolved to
incorporate at once The necessary pa
pers are now being prepared to that end.
The company will be incorporated for
81 ,000, 900, divided into 100, 600 shares Of
the par value of $40 each. The following
trustees were chosen to serve for the en-
suing year: j. s. Whitton, J. H. Alder
son; Maurice Hartnett, M. McGarry and
George W. Cassidy. j. 8. Whitton was
elected President and Treasurer, and M.
McGarry, Vice President. The officers |
named above and John Garrett are about
equally interested in the ownership OF the
property. The SENTINEL predicts that the
Banner will give a splendid account of
itself before another year shall have
passed. M. McGarry has stuck to it for
the past eight years, and deserves the sue
cess with which he is meeting in the prem
ises. The incorporation will be COM
pleted in a few days. Whether any Of the
stock will be offered to the public is a
question that has not yet been determined.
The mine, when put in first-class shape,
will produce more than enough bullion to
thoroughly develop the property to great
depth.

The month of September was not a very
sv.ntful one for the hunters who branch
mt from Carson City. A goodly number
Of qusils, valley and mountain varieties
have been found this season, and in many
instances nave giver good sport to those
knowing their location /; but quail shoot

n This hilly country, as a flock Of quails
when once shot at go up a steep
s;de ana never stop till out OF harms way.
Ouite a number of our sportsmen have
spent q few weeks hunting deer on the
Rubicon, a tributary to the American
River, west Of Lake Bigler, but have met
with Indifferent success. They got
10 deer. This game is not pienti-
iul any more. Indians have been
slaughtering them since july. and
white hunters innumerable have stood
In with them to such an extent that there
IA but little chance for deer to exist. Ex-
tsnsIye fires, also, have driven much OF
this game away. Some California sports
men IL pot hunters can be so called) have
had bad luck, the deer they shipped 10

rived at Its destination. What have the
California sporting papers to say of this2
would ask them which Is preferable,
TO kill o deer in November. when
they can preserve the flesh, or
In July when they cannot? Ducks
geese and smaller migratory birds
are quite plentiful at present, as they
make this neighborhood a resting place for
few days. Washoe and Carson Valleys
are covered with geese ; quite a large
flight Of the white variety this year. which
are little shot at, az the dark color OF the
aesh makes them rather distasteful to cpl
cures. The honksrs are with us, too, and
many are being brought to the city. Our
streams are so dry that game cannot tarry
long.
Reading SO much Of late about the one-
armed shooters, reminds me that we have

north Of the city. He shoots a muzzle-
loader with his left hand, and only four
fingers on that hand. He does not do any
wonderful shooting, but parties who are
good shots and have hunted with him,
say he can bold his own In most any COM
pany.

The Chinaman Outdone.

An Indian hunter came into Palisade on
Monday with two dozen wood rats, that
he had captured along the river. for sale
among the less enterprising Of his tribe.
Reaching town he took a rest, and by way
Of advertising his tempting game, skinned
the rats carefully, and then making a little
fire singed the hair off the skins not over
carefully. He then rolled each skin up
into a pellet and swallowed the two dozen,
one after another, with genuine aboriginal
relish.

GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGE

From One Of the First Ladies OF Ou1
CITY

From One Of the First Ladies OF Our
" City.
DIR. JONEs-Dear Sir: When you
commenced treating my eyes they
had not been free from pain one in
slant for sixteen months. The second
day after taking medicine prescribed
by you, the muscles relaxed their iron
grasp, and my poor tortured eyes
found sure relief. They are gradually
gaining strength, and I can now use
them a portion OF each day without
any sensation of pain. Words are
inadequate to express the change; 1t Is
indescribsbly delightful. Accept,
Doctor, the thanks of a heart which
sweIls with gratitude to our kind
Heavenly Father and his gifted in
strument. I cordially recommend DR..
Jones to the sff1 cted and urge all
such to embrace this opportunity OF
once more tasting the joys of health.
Delays are dangerous and this is q
chance in lifetime.
Very truly, MRS. g. 6. ADKINS,
Ga Clinton Pike.
