AUSTIN, March II, 1881.
EDITOR SENTINEL Since nv last epis-
tie our worthy A~ssemblymen Hons. Smythe
and Newell have returned to the bosom of
their constituency, and were welcomed in
regal style. They were met at the depot
by the Lander brass band and a large con
course of admiring citizens, and escorted
up town. This hearty reception was not
rendered merely for the reason that they
are "jolly good fellows" but more es-
pecially as a slight mark of recognition of
their services for the people as their repre-
sentatives in Carson assembled, and the
| while ~endeavoring to champion the best in
terests Of old Lander through thick and
thin. Knowing, therefore, that their la
bors have been fully appreciated by those
they 80 honestly served, they can settle
back into the humdrum of business life
with a satisfying consciousness of duty
we'll done.
TARTE UP.
The Manhattan mill, which has been
closed down for some time, commenced &C.
tive operations on Monday last. This al
ways serves to gladden. the heart and
pocket Of mechanic and merchant alike,
for with the mill not running we exper-
fence our dullest period. Let the mill
shut down for a time and the blues become
epidemic, and long prayers and long faces
take the place of the usually lively aspect
of our little burg. Yes, sir even the
gamblers pray for the mill to hold up its
lick, 80 as to keep the 20's in sight from
payday to payday.
THE LEWIS DISTRICT BUSINESS.
Our noble army Of miners, in union
solidly banded, had a little recreation last
week. 1t became necessary for them, in
the assertion of their rights as Unionists,
to go in a body some $50 of them) to
Lewis District and "shoo away a blue
tailed monopoly fly" in the shape of the
Superintendent Of the Starr & Grove mine.
They gained the point they went for, and
now the miners in that camp will get 81
per day instead Of So so, as before, or So,
as the reductionist Superintendent en-
deavored to force them to work for. But
this has all been published in your tele-
graph columns, 80 l will refrain from
further mention, except to add that the
Union boys shoo'd and the Colorado re-
ductionist fewed." Yes, he's gone, but
will probably only circle around the sugar
and return to his slipping. Ny sentiments
are that every citizen (be he salaried or not
should be in strong sympathy with the
Miners Union in their endeavor to keep
wages at a living standard. For accord
ingly as their wages are raised or reduced
just 80 much are we, non-sackholders,
affected as to our individual interests or
prospects. Yet there should be a careful
guard set to prevent bloodshed or violence
at all times. Let the cooler minds rule,
and, by all means let both sides be reasona-
BILE in anticipated and present action.
PosToFFIcE MATTERS.
Quite a buzz went the rounds the other
day caused by a petition being circulated
asking the appointment Of Chas. Lund
as Postmaster here in place Of VIM. Gibson,
the present incumbent. 1t seems that
there is Also another candidate in the field
who it is said, expects to fall into the chair
easily. The telegraph has informed us,
however, that President Garfield does not
favor the idea of removing. faithful and
honest officers from their positions merely
ito make room for some one else and,
as he has refused to appoint a lifelong
friend of his to a coveted position because
the man now filling the Office had 'naught
against ulm. we Cdu uhTuly iChllLC tudt
he will make Austin the amazing excep-
ton, and BUST the man who has served us
SO faithfully and untiringly for these sew
eral years.
A COMEDY COMPANY.
1 believe in my last letter we were clam
oring for a show. Well. we got one. For
the last two evenings the Grace Heezlep
Comedy Company has been entertaining
our theater-goers. They had a fair audi
ence both evenings, and gave a good bill.
Mr.. Staley deserving special mention for
the manner in which he rendered his
n and MARBLES in imitation Of the re-
nowned J. X. Emmett.
THE MELvILLEs.
We partially latter ourselves that we are
to be favored with the Melville Opera Com
pany, and not a little OF expectancy is visi-
BILE among the amusement lovers. l hope
satisfactory terms will be arrived at and
that we may nave the opportunity of see.
ing something of the upper notch OF
operate business once more, for then we
could proclaim ourselves bigger than
Battle Mountain and pretty nigh as
tony as Eureka. GOGGLES.
