Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-05-21
A g BUSINESS.

The production of bullion is the
leading and most elevating business in
the world. Professor Clayton, well known
in Eureka, very ably illustrated this idea
in a recent address in New York. Among
other things he said 1.-THE bullion, the
product Of your mines, is always well
come in the markets of the world. It
won't rot; it don't rust; dry or wet sea-
sons have but little effect upon its pro-
duction; it is secure from the ravages Of
bugs and ~grasshoppers. Tariffs don't
interfere with its value; commercial
panics do not destroy the chances of sell
ing it. for it is the representative of
values.
1T also represents power. 1t gives you
the force necessary to maintain govern
ments, build up manufactures. to es.
tablish and carry on the worlds com
merce, and to cover our broad land with
interlacing railroads and t~elegraphs. 1t
gives the power to establish and maintain
every branch of industry required by
man. 1t makes civilization possible.
ut is not strange, therefore, that min.
ing for the precious metals has a peculiar
fascination about it. for it makes a miner
a producer Of money, a creator of wealth,
and a co-worker with divine law in sub
DUNG and identifying the earth.
I'VE may add hat these last men
toned considerations should have their
weight with the capitalist who. when he
invests in mines. materially aids the
obtainment of the best results that
nature can afford. And not only is this
the case, but the risks he runs are no
more, If as much. as they are in other
ventures that are continually commend.
ing themselves, though their returns are
by no means handsome and remuner.

A PrOmtslng New Nev00a amp
It has been some time since Q new
mining camp started up in Nevada. There
are. no doubt, many localities that will
come into prominence once that railroad
facilities are. furnished the more remote
sections. OF somer recent discoveries down
in the southwestern corner Of Nye County,
o correspondent Of the Los Angeles Her
aid has the following to say:
Bromide District Is in the southwestern
corner Of Nye County, Nevada, about eight
miles west Of the dividing line separating
the States Of California and Nevada.
Until December last but two mines were
known on the range Of mountains in which
the discoveries Of the past three months
have been made. The first location was
made about IS months ago by Eugene
Lander Of Los Angeles County, and Albert
Rowland Of La Puente.
The ledge il called the Blue Monster,
from the immense size Of the out-crop and
color Of the ore; and well it Is named, for
on the surface Is exposed thousands of
tons Of rich silver bearing quartz, in some
places over 100 feet in width and / 900 feet
in length. This large body Of ore carries
black metal, or patancc, with bromides
and chlorides thickly interpreted through
out the entise length Of the surface ex-
posure. This mine Is only about one-half
mile from water. and Is easy Of access.
Subsequent discoveries were made In the
months Of December, January and Feb
ruary last. BY q party OF prospectors from
Lake District, California, consisting OF
Messrs. Robinson. Hart. Casey and Parker.
The lodges were found in . low belt or
range Of mountains lying IN the east aide
Of the Armagosa River, and extend north
erly and southerly for q distance Of about
IA miles. distant about 80 miles northerly
from Resting Springs and As miles south
erly from Gold Mountain, Esmeralda
County, New. Wherever the white belt or

THE A-CCIDENrAL JUDek

1t is no use crying over split milk,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, and SO there
is no use in ~lamenting Stanley Matthews
confirmation. But he had a close shave.
and was confirmed by an error, after q
committee report which was unanimous
against him ave one. Sewell voted for
confirmation when he wa paired with
Teller. who would have voted against,
and no step being taken to correct the
mistake, the confirmation stands by a
majority of one. Anthony. also, was
opposed to confirmation, but was
countably absent. So we have an obiec-
tlonable Supreme Court Judge by mis-.
take and carelessness. 1t never happens
that good, but only evil, about in
that way.

COxKLING's CHANCES IMPR0v.
ING.

Last nights dispatches inform us that
materially improved within the last day
or two. 1t is now thought that he will
be returned without much difficulty if
he really desires to 60 back. The SEN
TINEL has never had a great deal Of
doubt about this. When it comes right
down to the test, the pride of the Empire
State is sure to be enlisted in Conkling's
favor. His friends, too, will make a
more determined fight than his opponents.
The stalwarts, if not ADLER, are at least
more aggressive than the "half-breeds."
Hence, when the canvass is once opened
in earnest, it will be found that the stall
warts will make the most Roadway. As
the situation now presents, we regard it
as morally certain hat Conkling will be
reelected. And the same influences and
reasons that will apply to his case must
also operate to return Platt. 1t will be
impossible to vindicate one and ignore the
other. If the New York Legislature de.
~termines to slap the Administration in
the face with Conkling, it must give it a
side wipe with Platt also.
The tide seems to be turning in favor
of the e~x-Senators. Conkling has been
held up by the Administration organs as
a dictator demanding the right to run
the President and control all New York
appointments. This view of the case is
fatty denied by Conkling and his friends.
Instead of debating anything, it is now
shown that neither Conkling, Platt nor
Vice President Arthur have ever asked
or demanded a single appointment at the
hands of President Garfield. If this be
true, and we do not doubt it, the Adj
ministration has been guilty of misrepre-
senting the New York representatives.
As these facts become known and under
stood, q reaction will naturally take place
in favor of the late Senators. Therefore
we are prepared to witness within the
next week the swelling Of an anti-Ad-
ministration tide that will sweep both
Conkling and Platt back into their old
places in the United States Senate.

SAN FRANcIsco, May 20.-The steamer
