John r. Kelly.

OF a gentleman we'll known to many Of
u readers. the San Francisco Report has
the following: John p. Kelly has arrived
in this city from Mexico. Mr.. Kelly was a
surveyor in White Pine in the incipiency
of that district, and was a first-class civil
engineer. Subsequently he studied law
under Col. Harry I. Thornton, was admit
ted to practice, and distinguished himself
as a lawyer during the exciting litigation
which marked the early days of Phoebe.
He stuck to Phoebe until almost the last
hope Of a resurrection Of Ely District was
gone. Then he was appointed Superintend-
emit of the Savage under the Williams
management. and did all that mortal man
could do, under the disadvantages Of heat
and water, to make the property a paying
proposition. Receiving an offer to go to
Mexico to help develop some mines there,
Mr.. Kelly resigned his Savage Superin-
tendency, and went to the land OF the
Greaser. He was successful there, hav.
ing opened and put in working order some
mines which had been purchased by East
ern parties. Mr.. Kelly, after a rest in this
city, may visit Butte Mountain, to take in
the mining situation there.

plates to the best class Of book and job
printing.s He was elected three times

town offices, and was then three times
elected to the State Legislature as an old

or Interest to veterans.

Quite a number OF ex-soldiers and sail
ors OF the late war. who have lost their
discharges through the fires and floods Of
Eureka and elsewhere, are applying to Up
ton Post, Grand Army OF the Republic, to
procure duplicate papers, in order to gain
admission. An order was promulgated
from general headquarters, G. A. R., re-
Gently to the effect that the Adjutant Gen.
eral Of the United States would take no
further notice Of individual applications
for duplicate discharges, as his office
was flooded with all kinds Of requests hav-
ing no direct bearing on the business Of
his department. All applications to- re-
ceive attention must be made through the
various departments Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic. The members OF Upton
Post will gladly assist their late fellow
comrades In arms who are without their
credentials Of honorable service in procur-
ing them. A meeting Of the Post will be
held on Sunday evening, and application
should be made before that time in order
to receive immediate attention.

w. III. sweeney Thrown From q
Buggy and Dangerously Injured.

buggy and Dangerously Injured.
At about 0 O'Clock last evening W. H.
Sweeney, the w%ell-known livery and
W. 0. Mill 0 Jr. were speeding a young
horse along Main street. When a little above
the Turner House. q colt belonging to .
passing team ran across the street in front Of
sweeney's horse, causing the latter to shy
suddenly and in such a way as to capsize
the buggy. II went over TO the right. and
the occupants were thrown violently to the
ground, Mills passing entirely over swee-
ney and landing on his hands and knees.
sweeney was entangled In the reins and
caught by the buggy. Both men were
pretty badly stunned. Assistance was
soon at hand, when Sweeney was extri-
Gated and removed to DR.. Bishops office,
near the Opera House. He soon became
unconscious, and an examination demon
strated that he had received severe internal
injuries. An hour or so later he was
taken on q litter to his residence on Mob
hill. At q late hour last night he was
thought to be in q critical condition. OF
course there 10 a chance for his injuries to
Do mainly external, in which event he will
soon be out, as no bones are broken; but
~ as Is feared, he Is hurt internally, there
can Dc no question that his case becomes
9ne iraught with serious probabilities.
ns friends will hope that on further ex-
summation 1t may be found that he is
merely damaged externally. Mr.. Mills
escaped with a few bruises about the lower
limbs: The accident seems to have been
one OF those un~accountable things which
'Ake place when least expected.

Recent Assays Show Little or NO
Value in the Ore.


We had high hopes of the new district
near Palisade. We wished the new mines
to prove a grand success. They are SPLEEN
didly located near the Humboldt river and
the railroad, and the great mass of high
grade ore reported in sight caused us to
hope and believe that a second magnif-
cent mining locality had been discovered
within the limits of Eureka county. We
now fear that all Of these bright anticipa-
tions are to be doomed to disappointment.
We have known for three days that assays
made here were not satisfactory, but we
thought best to await developments and
further proofs. We hesitated to condemn
without first being doubly assured of the
now little room for doubt. The outlook
OF the new discovery is not as bright as il
was. The assays have not held up. A
dozen or more samples brought hither
within the last few days have failed to
show any value worth recording. Indeed
many pieces have not shown as much as a
trace of either of the precious metals.
The evidence is overwhelming that the
great mass of the rock is comparatively
valueless. Under this state of affairs it
becomes the duty Of the SENTINEL to make
public the facts. We cannot sit quietly by
and see poor men induced to rush to a
place which seems to be lacking in merit.
1t would afford us the greatest pleasure
to be able to maintain the exist
ence OF a marvellous bonanza in the new
Stafford district. But we have become
convinced that it is not there. There
is evidently a very rich streak in the
O~nondaga mine, but the great mass of the
ledge matter does not pan out. Possibly
this rich streak may lead to something
good, but that remains to be demonstrated.
Captain Platter and others have brought
up average samples, which, on being as
sayed, were found to contain next to moth
ing. We sincerely hope that future devel-
opnients may prove the district to be even
more valuable han has been claimed for
it, but at this writing there is no occasion
for an excitement or q rush. There is q
chance for the heavy mass of black iron to
give way to the yellow carbonate ore at
depth, and this we hope may be the result,
but until it does the principal mine can
yield in paying quantities. The find
ing OF any high grade ore at all is OF course
an encouraging feature and one worth
following up.

The Champions OF the Coast.

The last issue Of the New York Spirit OF
the Times has the following in relation to
the amateur champion athletes Of the Pa
ciic 'Coast who have gone to New York to
compete in the National Amateur Cham
pionship games of America, which take
place next month: r. s. Haley and ]. T.
Belcher of the Olympic Club, San Fran
cisco, will reach New York to-day, and at
once commence training for the coming
championship meeting. They will be ac-
companied by w. NJ. Slime, q club mate,
and also bring along their trainer, P. Nc
Intyre, the well-known professional pedes-
trian. The party have engaged rooms at
Mott Haven, and will train on the New
York Athletic Club grounds as the guests
of that club. The gallantry of these
young gentlemen deserves all commenda-
ton. They have travelled 5000 miles for
the privilege of competing for the amateur
championships, in which contest they will
be opposed not only by the pick of all
Eastern athletes, but also by Myers, fresh
from his English triumphs. Under such
circumstance defeat will be no dishonor,
and it is to be hoped they will not return
home without some pleasant memento OF
their visit.

o. B. Sampson was last night the recipi.
ent Of a handsome gold medal at the hands
Of the Union Guard. 1t is beautifully en-
graved. and is really something for the old

ken Of appreciation for skillful driving on
tine occasion Of the recent picnic excursion
Of the Guard. 1t will be remembered that
Sampson came near having a runaway COM

testimonial in appreciation thereof. Samp-
son will treasure up the gift while he lives.
He ia duly grateful for 1t, and desires to
thank the generous donors for this mark Of

Rob Rowland.

The Elko Independent has this to say of
our Bob. who is now prospecting the new
find near Palisade: Bob Rowland got
back from Alaska just in time to secure
the cream OF the new district OF Stafford,
near Palisade. Nothing Of q commercial
or speculative nature escapes Bob's enter
prising eye, and immediately after COB
bling up the district mentioned, he saved
the most feasible and direct route to 1t
from the west by procuring a franchise
for q rope ferry across the Humboldt at
the only eligible point on said stream.
The ferry Is already established ; the rope,
however, merely serving to drag back the
old blind cayuse after discharging bis load
on the opposite bank. Most Of the travel
is said to be by Bob's route, all others be-
ing dry ones,

A New Way of Sending Money by
Mail.

Postmaster General James has, it Ia
said, devised a plan for sending small sums
of money through the mail at a cheap rate.
The device consists Of a card having three
columns, representing dollars, tens and
cents, and the amount to be drawn is des-
ignated by punching out the figures. Two
denominations will be issued, one for all
sums within 50 so, and the other for all
sums within IS. The orders will be paya-
BILE to the bearer, and the postofice will
not be responsible for their safe delivery
any more than for fractional currency, for
which they are a substitute. They will be
finely printed on bank-note paper. The
Postmaster will sell the 50 so card for two
or three cents premium, and the SIS card
for four or five cents premium, and will
himself punch out the amount paid, and
the buyer will simply enclose the card in
his letter, and the receiver can cash it at
any Office. The Postmaster will enter the
amour of the order on a stub, which will
be the only check the Department will
need, as the name of the sender and payer
are not entered. In order to prevent the use
of the postal orders as currency, they are
not to be redeemable only for three months
from the date of issue.

Barnum's Circus.

The Boston Journal says there have been
two immense gatherings at the Coliseum
Grounds daily, and the great circus exhibition
given under the management of Messrs. Bar
mum, Bailey and Hutchinson has gained de-
served favor. There are so many good fea-
lures in this model show'that it seems invidi-
Gus to point out any as being especially note
worthy Every department is perfect and the
whole performance is marked by an even ex-
cellence. The equestrians are some of the best
in the world, and the leaping, vaulting, aero
batic feats, juggling, trapeze acts. etc., have
never been surpassed The exhibition of
trained elephants is of itself worth going far
to see, while the menagerie as whole is
worthy of the highest praise that could be
awarded to any exhibition of its kind, COM
prisng as it does a large and magnificent COL
lection Of rare animals. All who can do
should patronize the day performances and
thus avoid the evening crowd.
Barnums agents have placed on exhibition
in the window of Messrs. Owen, Moore & Co.,
Congress street, several elegant vases and
belts, which are to be presented to the best
leapers, tumblers and wrestlers of the Bar
mum & London shows, at the close of the sea-
son. They are to remain there three days.
