A WORD TO THE WISE.
Don't Desert a Permanent Camp for
a Prospective One.


In the Eureka Sentinel of a recent
date we find the following, which is
sound reasoning, and to a certain ex-
tent as applicable to our district as to
Eureka:
rolling stone gathers no moss, and TO
those who contemplate pulling up stakes here
we would offer one or two suggestions Eu-
reka has proved Itself to be good and sub
stanilal camp. whose sun of prosperity has
not yet fully begun 10 shine Capital is Just
beginning TO end out that we have rich and un-
developed mines here, and is showing dis
position 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
last two months, and pending negotiations
for others Active operations on those new
properties will increase the volume of busi-
ness, and assist in breaking the monotony of
the present dull times. II will give us a
boom worth two new and uncertain camps.
Wood River, which appears to be the long
looked-for paradise for all our restless, anx-
ious spirits, is not yet, by any means, a per-
manent place. There are, undou btedly. some
good mines there. but the veins are small.
For the prospector and well-to-do miner il Of
fers good field of labor: for the business
man thore are only crude expectations in
sight The region will be overrun with men
who have just enough means to get there.
There are no enterprises which will sustain
them or give work. There are no mills or
furnaces to give employment TO hundreds of
men. and even If the mines justify their eree-
tion, II will probably be late in the fall be-
fore they can commence operations. Quartz
mining camps are Of exceedingly slow growth,
and Wood River will not prove an exception
TO the general rule. Again, any ono familiar
with the country will know that 30 prospect
ing can be done TO advantage before the ist of
May, and some seasons not before the lst of
June April is the most vicious month. and
IL particularly severe on the houseless in
that latitude, snow and rain generally alter
ternafing between the lst and the 3Oth.
Wood River may prove a rich camp in the
future indeed, all the reports from the best
sources there published in these columns lead
US to that belief-but we expect to 20 hear
more abuse Of it than praise three months
from now by those who go there.

Proposed jewish and Christian n
Union.

The Rabbi Sonneschein of st.
Louis advocates "A union of Jews and
Unitarians. "There is not the slight
est difference in character, standing,
human worth or dignity between jew
and Christian" he says; "there is no.
thing in the way from the standpoint
of reason TO declare that the bans of
race prejudice shall debar the consol-
idation. Let us intermarry; that will
help along the consolidation. When
the Unitarian takes Jew into his
church, the convert is not baptized.
He makes no confession of faith only
that which he had held before. The
race prejudice is a stubborn fact in
the way of consolidation. The Chris
tians are further on the road to- pro-
gress than we are. They take me in
just as I am. / require them to be-
come Jews before l allow them to be-
come members of my family. de-
cline TO enter into common commu-
Mon with them on the gronnd that
they are not of my race. When we
are capable of and ready to pay our
indebtedness to them, then we can
enter into consolidation with them"

A jest Ending in Earnest.
Memphis tTeun.l Appeal J


A romantic marriage took place on
Mardi Gras. A young gentleman and
young lady who were acquainted,
met on the street and commenced
bantering each other about marriage.
He offered himself in a jesting way,
and the conversation was kept up un-
till they reached the young lady's
home. Neither had the slightest idea
of getting married at the time, but
Cupid was at work shooting arrows,
and the discussion was resumed in
the parlor. He again offered himself
and dared her to marry him that day.
She replied, as she caught up her hat,
"Let us CO." He seized his hat and
assented. They visited the County
Clerks Office, secured "A license, and
repaired to the residence of clergy
man, stating the object OF their visit.
lie asked If IL was a runaway match.
The young man replied, "Not exact
ly." The clergyman wished to know
fthe young lady's parents had agreed
to the marriage. The young man
said, "No, but that he could go for her
mother" II was done, and the
mother, after objecting, was induced
to say AYES" They were married,
and are now as happy as any of those
who married after long courtships,
and more so, perhaps. May they live
long and prosper.

THE Downieville Messenger de-
scribes an interesting spectacle to be
seen on the East Fork of the Yuba
river, about five miles from Downie-
Vile. 1t is an immense slide which
completely covers the river for dis
lance Of several hundred feet. This
slide formed year ago this winter,
and was then about rs feet deep. TIE
summer sun of last year failed to melt
IL, and 1t is now, with some of this
winters snow, at least 40 feet in depth,
ane old snow being as hard as ice.
The river has worn its way through,
and the arch Is as regular as though
formed by human hands. There will
doubtless be plenty of snow there all
'ne coming summer, as 1t lies I'm a
gorge where the sun strikes 1t only a
iew hours during the day.

The Boss Snake.

There has been considerable. talk latel about large water snake that was sup posed to inhabit the laguna, east of town and the SENTINEL, always to the fore il matters of interest and information, de- tailed its most truthful reporter( (which the initial letter of his first name is Walter Millar) to investigate the matter, and see if the tale was founded upon facts. He finds that large snake, resen bling tHe old fashioned moccasin, TrigonocephaluS piScGvOTus. has been seen by several per. | sons, in what is known as the laguna, or Gila slough. It has been seen not only once, but several times, by MT. L. A. Smith, Judge Mabbitt, and several Mexi. can women who are accustomed to wash clothes upon the banks of the laguna. Some estimate of its size can be made from the fact that its body, where seen, is not less than or inches in diameter, (nearly two feet in circumference); and
 
 as in swimming it exposes g or 10 feet of it's lenfith, It is perfectly logical to sup. pose that its entire length is not less than thirty feet. Its head, which it car ries at times high out of the water, resem- bles in size an ordinary water bucket; and the women say it could swallow an | ordinary child of or 5 years. It gave one of these women scare, once, by lay ing one or two Of it's slImy folds upou her washboard, while she was tempordri- ly away. This snake has been reported to have frequently chased batEers. and one young man, named Bro wley, was so badly frightened as to be made quite sick - in fact, he was sick, in bed, for a week. On several occasions it would have been an easy matter to have killed his but it is the wish of those who Ire acquainted with its habits 10 capture alive.

MT. Chas. Baker. of Bakers ranch, in- forms us that he found the dead body of s man lying at the side of the trail between his ranch and Castle Dome, week before last.

Baker could ascertain, was Wm. H. TolbaIt, of Indiana. The body was very much decomposed, aud was buried on the spot.

new time schedule has been issued on the Yuma division s. PR. R. chaging the time. of two trains. No. 21 arrives under the new time card at II: 10 A. M, instead of 2: 45 P.

No official an nouncement has yet been made as to when this change will take place, or in what manner it will affect the arrival and departure of trains at Yuma; but 1t will possibly make a radical chan ye in the time of the through express trains.
