Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-04-03

The fire alarm, quiet for q long time
past. was sounded at $3.50 o'clock last night,
caused by a blaze in a small building on
Monroe street, near the Stag dump. owned
and occupied by Col. Tom Taylor. A
dense volume Of smoke issuing from the
house was the first intimation of the fire,
and by the time the Rescue Hose Company
reached the ground the entire inside OF the
boys tore out the front part Of the build
ing in short order, and soon had a steady
stream on the sdestroying elements, but
not quick enough to save the furniture,
books and other property In the apart
ment, valued at about $500, which appears
to be a total loss, with no insurance. The
Colonel informed a SENTINEL reporter that
he could not account for the fire. He left
the house early in the morning, and had
been down town all day, so that the only
conclusion he could come to was that the
fire was the work of an incendiary. What
object the miscreant could nave had in this
work can only be OWNED. The house is
located in an out OF the way quarter, but
a fire, once under Roadway there, would
sweep the town as 1t has probably never
been swept before. Is was fortunate that
there was no wind, and thar it was so early
in the evening. We hope our citizens will
watch their buildings more closely. and
bank up the sides OF their dwellings, as
the fire last night appears to have origi-
mated under the floor, where a lot Of loose
hay had been scattered.

Tho Philosophers stone,

The Pail Mall Gazette Of a recent date
says Though the presence Of gold in
pyrites has long been known, the cost Of
extracting the precious metal has until re-
Gently rendered the operation unprofta-
Bile. 1t is stated that an important dis
covery has been made which at last solves
this difficulty. The process, which is of
French origin, has yet to be tried on q large
scale; but up to this time the experiments
that have been made show q return OF be-
tween one-half and ~three-quarters OF an
ounce of gold from each ton Of pyrites
treated. The discovery is exciting very
great interest in the pyrites trade. One
well known concern has secured the
patent, and is now erecting the apparatus
necessary for working the process. If the
process shall prove to be what is claimed
for it, the discoverer has found that which
is a very good substitute for the "philoso-
piers stone" He can find mountains of
iron from which to extract gold. Not only
in California, but also in Colorado, Ne
vada, Utah, Montana, Arizona, and in fact
in almost every mining region are found
veins OF rebellious pyritic ores that are
rich in gold. 1t would seem from what is
said above that the pyrites operated upon
the new French process we're such as are
found in ordinary rock, not such as are
met with in quartz veins in gold-produc-
ing countries.

Salmon River Mines,

A correspondent writes from Salmon
River that the mines in that region are
opening out beyond all expectation, and
that the various camps along that stream
will have a veritable boom this Spring
not a second-class or ephemeral squirt. but
a substantial upheaval, the mines being
very rich and the business prospects Of the
most encouraging kind. The work during
the Winter has been extensive, and a num-
Der Of very rich strikes have been made,
which show that the region is not half
prospected. A large quantity of first-class
ore, averaging about $500 per ton, has been
taken out by the various mines, and will
be shipped to the furnaces as soon as the
nov is off the ground. The furnaces are
preparing to start up, and will have a good
Summers run and it is quite likely that
several new ones will be constructed.
Challis is building up, and promises to be
quite a large town, and will no doubt be-
come the county seat Of Custer County.
The latest and biggest strike made recently
was in the Faithful Boy, on Poverty Flat,
where an extensive body of %800-ounce ore
was found. A smelter is also to be erected
On Squaw Creek, where a great deal of ore
awaits reduction. From these showings
the Salmon River country bids fair to di-
vide the honors with Wood River the en-
suing season.

Daniel Peterson, who died yesterday
morning Of consumption, was formerly
steward Of the White Pine County Hos
pital, a position which he held for three
years, and through which he had endeared
himself to many unfortunates by his
uniform kindness and attention. He came
to Eureka about two months ago, but the
dread and insidious disease which had
taken possession Of him proved to be
incurable. Both lungs we're found to
be completely gone. The deceased was .
nativetof Norway. where he has q sister
living. He died among friends, who will
give the remains Christian burial from
the Episcopal Church to-day at $50 o'clock.
Ellen Leach, the woman who died at the
County Hospital yesterday morning, was
buried by Undertaken Schwamb in the
afternoon. The deceased was brought
down from Cedar Hill during the early
part of the week in a very low condition,
and her death was not unexpected.

Letter From Wood River.

A letter dated March goth, from Wood
River, from Dick Pickett and George Cum
ningham, who left Elko about q month ago
for that place, is published by the Times
Review. They arrived on the 14th, after a
rough trip OF five days from Blackfoot.
They are still suffering from snow blind
ness contracted while on their journey.
They advise everybody to stay away for six
weeks at least, as nothing can be done be-
fore that time on account Of the snow. The
town Of Bellevue contains about 300 in
habitants. nearly all Of whom are pros
pectors, most Of them broke. There are
seven stores. Ave saloons, three restaur-
ants, two barber-shops, one lodging house,
ont tin-shop, two stables and two meat
markets, but no beef. There are not q
thousand dollars in circulation in the town,
and the boys say they would rather have
Dallas saloon in Tuscarora than the entire
five in Bellevue, for the next six weeks.

The Country for Prespectors.

Bodie Free Press No less than three
very important mineral discoveries, in new
and hitherto us,prospected districts in this
section Of the country, have already been
reported since the snow began to disap-
pear. One Of these is about forty. another
thirty and the third but little more than
twelve miles from Bodie. One of these
discoveries consists Of 4 quartz ledge six
feet wide and cropping out boldly for a
distance of one mile, and giving assays
from the groupings Of about $50 in gold
and $3.50 in silver to the ton. 1t is appa-
rently free milling ore, and the rock bears
a striking resemblance to the rich crop
pings Of the old Imperial and Empire
mines in Gold Hill, Nevada. No prospect
ing has been lone in the vicinity, save
upon the one ledge, and that has been wis.,
tied by but two men. Another prospect,
said to be the finest ever discovered in this
section, is situated about twelve miles from
Bodie /; but Of this more anon. The third
is the Charley Willard discovery on Sweet
water, Of which we will have particulars in
a day or two. But there are miles and
miles Of just such mineral country, un-
prospected, within the range Of vision from
Bodie Bluff.

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
What II a Curse ON the COmstock f.
a Blessing al Tombstone.

What II a Curse ON the Comstock f.
n Blessing nj Tombstone.
The past week, remarks the Epitaph, has
been a most important n in the history
OF Tombstone. Water has been struck in
one Of the leading mines in the district, Of
a character to leave little doubt as to the
.permanency Of the flow. 1t has been the
opinion, OF course, of all our best mining
men that If the veins Of the camp did not
peter out" water would be struck sooner
or later; but those men were few, If there
were any at all, who believed that water
would be found at q less depth than 1000
feet. So firm and general was this opinion
that none Of the hosting works in the dis
trict, not even the later and more power
full ones, were built with any view Of en-
countering the water problem, and there
are only two shafts in the district that
woul not have to be recut were water to
be encountered generally. The great
Importance Of water in the mines, es-
pecially here in Tombstone, is not
overrated, and the late strike in the Sul-
phuret has been very generally discussed
during the week. One well informed and
very conservative mining man yesterday
to al Epitaph reporter that in
his opinion the camp had been benefited
100 per cent by e~ncountering water in the
S%ulphuret. 1t would inspire renewed con-
fidence in the permanency Of the veins it
would relieve the mines of the heavy ex-
pense Of hauling ore SO many miles to the
it would tend to bring more capital
to Tombstone district than would a dozen
big strikes in the upper levels of the
mines themselves. He regarded the dis
covery of water in the Sulphuret as of far
Importance than the developments
Of rich ore, extensive as they are, which
were recently made in the same mine.

DOM Desert n Permanent Camp
for n Prospective One.


A rolling stone gathers no moss, and to
those who contemplate pulling up stakes
here, among whom are some of our best
and most active business men. we would
offer n or two suggestions. Eureka has
proved itself to be a good and substantial
camp, whose sun Of prosperity has not yet
fully begun to shine. Capital is lust be-
ginning to find out that we have rich and
undeveloped mines here, and is showing a
disposition to come in. As an evidence of
the truth OF this, we may cite the sale of
several valuable mines to Eastern people
within the past two months, and pending
negotiations for others. Active operations
on these new properties will increase the vol
ume of business, and assist in breaking the
monotony OF the present dull times. 1t
VIII gfve us a boom worth two new and
uncertain camps. Wood River. which an
pears to be the long-looked-for paradise
Tor all our restless, anxious spirits, is moi
yet, by any means, a permanent place.
There are undoubtedly some good mines
there, but the veins are small. For the
prospector and well-to-do miner it offers a
good field of labor for the business man
there are only crude expectations in sight.
The region will be overrun with men who
have just enough means to get there.
There are NJ enterprises which will sus-
tain them or give them work. There are
mills or furnaces to give employment
to hundreds of men, and even if the mines
Justify their erection, it will probably be
late in the Fall before they can
operations. Quartz mining camps are of
exceedingly slow growth. and Wood River
will not prove an exception to the general
rule. Again, any one familiar with the
country will know that no prospecting can
done to advantage before the LIST Of May,
and some seasons not before the LIST OF
April is a most vicious month, and
is particularly severe on the houseless in |
that latitude, now and rain generally
between the LIST and 30th.
Wood River may prove a rich camp in the
tnture-indeed, all the reports from the
sources there published in these col
umns lead us to that belief-but we expect
to hear more abuse of it than praise three
months from now by those who go there.

CINCINNATI. Charley Ross.

CINCINNATI. March 2s.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance Of little
Theodore Keller deepens more and more
as time passes. The case has now assumed
q sensational phase. and the general opin-
ion is that Cincinnati has q second Charley
Ross case. Yesterdays developments point
strongly to the theory that the child has
been stolen by gypsies and this theory
seems to be generally accepted by the po-
lice. Some, however, hesitate in express
ing an opinion in the matter. preferring to
wait for the developments that they think
may follow within the next two or three
days. A gentleman called on the family
to say that on the day Of the disappearance
he had seen a white boy answering the
description Of the lost child with o band Of
gypsies on their way out Of town.

The A. d. II. W.

Says the he'd Bluff Sentinel When one
considers the benefits to be derived from a
membership in the Order Of A. o. U. W.,
be will rightly surmise that the organiza-
ton is a glorious one, and it behooves
every man, be he married or single, to
possess a certificate OF membership. The
sound and substantial benefits to be de-
rived from the Order have been plainly
shown in Red Bluff Of late, where bereaved
and fortunate widows Of members have
been presented on the death of the hus-
band with the magnificent dowry Of 50, 900.
The last to receive the sun was the widow
Of our late esteemed friend, Robert Rose
vesre, who in his life well knew the bene-
fits to be derived from fraternal societies.
The A. o. U. W. is yearly gaining a large
membership, and its acts in the above re-
spect faithfully carried out are the main
causes for its success. No sensible man
can well afford at the present time to be de-
prived Of the benefits Of direct insurance,
or a connection with one Of the beneficial
Orders Of the day.
