Secret Canyon is commencing to boom.
The following series Of mines are being
incorporated, namely, the Commodore,
John NJ. Foley, Hole in the Wall, New
Years, John NJ. Foley No. 2, and John NJ.
Foley No. 8, These mines are owned by
Col. E. N. Robinson, p. N. Hansen, and
Captain John NJ. Foley, and are situated
in Secret Canyon Mining District, i'm
mediately north of the Basey Canyon.
Much labor and money has been expended
in prospecting and developing these mines,
and now the whole series are being cut at
right angles by a large tunnel at a depth
of from 800 to 800 feet. The great por-
phyritic mother lode occupies the apex Of
the hill on which these mines are located,
and the great mineralized limestone zone,
containing the Eureka Tunnel bonanza, to
the north, and the Geddes Il Bertrand, to
the south, runs also through the eastern
slope of this hill. Without exception this
Ia one OF the finest mining properties IN
this county.

About $50 last evening the fire bells

Lynchfng.

A special dispatch to the SENTINEL con-
tains an account OF the lynching Of Richard
Jennings at Austin, for the murder Of
John A. Barrett. This act OF summary
punishment will be generally condemned,
but not very violently, for an occasional
lynching, at the present time, Is as much
needed In Nevada as 1t was in the days Of
the vigilantes in the early days Of Cali
fornia. Lynching is q terrible thing. but
1t Is not likely to be resorted to except In
extreme causes, and one dose Of 1t has
greater effect in checking murders than
a dozen ordinary trials, which furnish SO
many escapes from the merited moose.
In fact. lynohing would rarely be re.

dence in the execution Of the law.

Our Shake.Ups.

There are some people who want every
thing and would take an earthquake rather
than have anybody else enjoy it. While
it was apprehended by some Of our con-
temporaries that Eureka might have
"hyena" Tom Lawton in limbo, they
gave way to despair ; but now that they
find our officers on the wrong scent, they
are happy again. The SENTINEL is catch
ing it now from the Daily Report because
u earthquake did not spread around
more. 1t is even skeptical as to our having
been shaken up at all. It's very refreshing.
Says our metropolitan" contemporary
Of our :" country" affair A singular fact
in connection with the late earthquake at
Eureka is that it was felt but q very short
distance outside the limits of that town.
The shake being confined exclusively to
Eureka, and not being ~perceptible in the
~neighboring towns. Can it be possible
that O'Donovan Rosa has an emissary en-
gagged in the manufacture Of Internal ma
chimes at Eureka, and that one OF them
went off accidentally in the cavern in
which his laboratory is located

Mr.. Dennis Crowley yesterday brought
down some very fine looking ere from his
Virginia mine, on the west side Of Pros

from the mouth OF Prospect Mountain

ing tour through Utah and Colorado, but
finding nothing there more attractive than
his old claim on Prospect Mountain. con-
cluded to return here. Some 10 days ago
he started In on o small seam OF ore,

EXPLANATION.
our A~ssesso shown to Have Col.
lected Every Available Poll Tax.

iected Every Available Poll Tax.
O. @. Wallace, Assessor of Eureka
County, having his attention drawn to an
article in the SENTINEL OF Tuesday, which
was reprinted from the Reno Journal.
which reflected somewhat upon the eff
cheney Of his work in the collection Of
poll taxes, invited our reporter to call at
MS ONCE and investigate the charge. This
has been done and the result will be en-
ureiy satisfactory to every taxpayer, and
SHOWS that Mr.. Wallace has accomplished
everything possible in making the collec-
tons referred to. Our reporter found the
names OF all persons 1879 who have
PAID their poll tax registered and their
names and occupations noted in o book
provided especially for that purpose. In
making q comparison between this book
and the registry OF last year and other
data, we find that the tax has been col
iected from every person who is engaged
IN any business in the county, and from
all others who could be reached and made
to- pay. There is q large population in
Eureka County OF irresponsible and i'm
pecunious people, who are coming and
going all the time, from whom it is i'm
possible to collect any tax whatever. Any
effort to collect the poll tax in such cases
would not only be idle and unbusiness-
like, but would entail extraordinary ex-
pense on the county-much more than the
tax would amount to. By way OF illustra-
ton, suppose the Assessor should close
the doors Of some crowded saloon in
Eureka and insist upon the payment OF
poll taxes on the spot. How many OF the
crowd is it presumed that 81 could be
extorted from? The suggestion brings
to mind getting blood but of
the proverbial turnip. The fact
OF the business is that, considering the
nature OF a large part of the population
of Eureka County, Assessor Wallace has
made a closer collection than has been
made in any other county in Nevada.
The SENTINEL feels bound to say this, in
asmuch as the Journals article would
make it appear by innuendo that he has
neglected his duty. Had the Journal con-
fined its structures to the assessorship in
Washoe they would have been proper
enough, for in that county the facilities
are greater for collecting poll-tayes closely.

OUR SENATORS.

The two Kansas senators have places or
the Senate committees as follows: Senator
ingalls, is chairman of the Committee on the
District Of Coli mbia, and has place on the
Judiciary Committee and the Committee on
Indian Affairs and Senator Plumb is chair
man of the Committee on Public Lands, and
a member of the Committees on Appropria-
tions and Agriculture.
No State in the Union is more ably and ef-
ficicntly represented, in the Senate, than
Kansas. Our Senators arc universally recOg-
nizcd, by their colleagues, as men Of ability
and character. and exert a commanding inf'n-
ence in that body. They supplement one an
other admirably. Mr.. Ingalls, is a scholar
and a lawyer and Mr.. Plumb Il business man.
Both are ready debaters. In his command of
vigorous and classical English speech, Mr..
ingalls, has no superior in the Senate, while
Mr.. Plumb speaks flucn,ly End forcibly, and
always commands attention.
Their assignment on the Senate committees
shows the prominent position they occupy.
In addition 10 the craftsmanship Of two inn
portant committees, they have been assigned
TO place on the two leading committees of
the Senate-JudiciaIy and Appropriations.
Places on either of these committees are re-
garded As equivalent to a craftsmanship of
any ether committee hdnpion.
