A Romantic history.

Captain Tully Of Eureka who has just
made a sale of his mine Of which mention
is made elsewhere, registered a vow when
he came out to the Pacific Coast in 1851
that he would not return East until he
had made q raise" and could go home
rich. He was lucky in several ventures,
but being OF a highly speculative tempera-
ment, ready to take chances in anything
even up to losing every cent, he has seen
several small fortunes melt away in his
hands. Being thus kept away from home
and family by his oath. it was just 81 years
to a day when, after his latest raise. he
started from Eureka on his way back to
New Jersey. When he got there he found
his wife i'll and for fear of the shock that
the meeting would cause her. after so long
an absence, her physicians would not al
low him to see her for u week. He says
that week was the longest he ever spent in
his life. This IL but one of many similar
instanceS of life among the mines, which
goes to show that truth il sometimes
stranger than fiction.

MR.. PowNING's REA FOR RENO.
Already this inflated ass is telling Reno
of the grand things he will do when he
flashes upon an astonished Congress as q
member. Among other things he is going
to nave a Government aooolen mill built
on the banks of the Truckee at Reno. He
is to have the salary Of the Reno Post
master raised. 'Ill get Offices for all my
friends" is his constant declaration. He
promises anything to anybody. Already
he has pledged himself to get the Reno
Postmastership for three different men.
He also declares that he twill send all the
seed wheat that the ranchers Of Nevada
may want to sow 81 tell you," cried
the little man to a crowd the other even
ing as he was charging upon what he was
going to do for Reno, 81 tell you that me
and j. p. are the boys to make things get
up and howl. l tell You that | got the
Surveyor-General's office and the Asylum
located here, and by - l am going to
have the Mint, too. Look out for me-, for
I'm goin' to be a bigger man than ever
went TO Washington from Nevada"
l have not exaggerated the young mans
style of speech or declaration of purpose
in the least. 1t would be hard, indeed,
to do 30. His boastings are so constant
and wild that even Reno, 80 long accus-
toned to Pownipg, smiles.

The news from old Hamilton Is better
day after day. Since our recent report Of
the rich find in the Rescue, which is situ-
ated about a mile below Hamilton, later
reports from the mine are still more fiat
tering. The shaft is now down twenty
in ore and portions of the north, south
and west sides with every indication of
an ore body. The ore body is principally
| chloride with some bromide and horn sill

the shaft was being sunk. The outcrop is
a body of quartz some forty feet in width,
all Of which on the surface runs from $l5
to $40 per ton. At a depth of about twelve
feet AN assay was made OF one piece weigh
ing about twenty pounds, which went
S466 "a. Between this point and the sur
face assays were made that showed between
$500 and $500. On the 17th Of this month
an assay was made Of ore about nineteen
feet below the mouth Of the shaft
which went 81 ,2S1 SO. On the 18th an
other assay was made from the ore at a

IMPORTANT MINING SALE.
Eastern Capitalists BUY One.Half
of ihe Paul Pry Wine.

Eastern Capitalists BUY One.Half
of She Paul Pry Wine.
The SENTINEL is credibly informed that
Capt. Tully, recently full proprietor Of the
Paul Pry mine, located on the southwest
ern slope of Adams Hill, has disposed of
one-half interest in the property for a
handsome sum in cash paid down, with as
much more guaranteed in sixty days. The
effort to keep the secret is too much for
quid nunc, who has heard it now, how
ever, from other sources than that which
imposed secrecy, and the story must be
told. The amount paid is $40, 900, and
that to be paid in sixty days is also S10,-
600. Further than this, the capitalists Of
the East advance $40, 900 for the expenses
of exploring the property under the Cap
tain's management. Capt. Tully is on
his way home from the East now, and in a
few days will set to work with as large a
force of men to prospect the mine as can
be proitably employed. The capital
lists backing him in the enterprise
are men of large fortunes, and they will
not stop in the work of prospecting until
they develop a big mine or become salts
fled that there is nothing in it. The Paul
Pry has been a little daisy Of a mine.
With two men working with him
he has been going along quietly. and
cleaning up in the neighborhood of 81 900
per month for several months. The
Captain deserves the success with which
his labors nave been crowned. He has
had a long, hard struggle. He had not
been back home or seen any of his family
for thirty years until recently. He has a
wife living and also several sons who, we
are told. have grown up and are all &C.
cupying prominent places in society. He
is to be congratulated on his good fortune,
and the camp is in luck, for the sale just
made will call attention to other mines, es-
pecially those near the Paul Pry, several
of which, if properly ~prospected, would
show up as very valuable properties.

they hardly expected at that time to en-

Developments Along the O.. & Q.
Railroad.

A gentleman who has just returned from
q visit to the southern mining regions in
forms the Carson Tribune that he has
never yet seen such evidences OF good
mining property in the State of Nevada as
during his travel by the G. Il O. Men
who had for years been working in Com
stock mines went with pick and shovel
to Luning and surrounding localities
and in consequence of the means
given of transporting ore for reduc-
ton several Of them have in the
space of a few months become possessors
of thousands of dollars. The opening out
of that country; the discovery OF gold,
silver and copper mines; the vast deposits
of borax and hne salt is due entirely to
the projectors of the O. & O., and u in
formant. a practical miner, says that the
people Of Nevada will surely be lifted out
Of the slough Of dependency into new
life by the mining property in that diree-

executive TO disappr0ye of anv item or
items in an appropriation bill without
being under the necessity or condemn
ing the entire measure. Referring to
the report OF the secretary Of War, the
attention Of Congress is invited to the
propriety OF making more adequate
provision for arrning and cquipping the
militia, and to the conflicting legisla-
ZION with reference to the retirement of
army officers. The condition Of the Ma
w, as shown IN the Secretary report
is commented upon, and the attention
of Congress called to the intimate con-
uection and interdependence Of the
navy and the commercial marine, and
To the continued decadence Of the latter
and the transfer Of our growing CONE
merce to foreign bottoms. The report
Of the POstmaster-General shows that
there ~ considerable surplus in his
department, and the President express
SEES himself in favor OF a reduction OF
letter postage to the rate Of two cents
per half ounce, and believes that the
increase i'm postal patronage would
equal the expenditures after the lapse
OF three or four years, if they would not
ultimately greatly increase the reYe-
nues from this source In regard to
that portion Of the Attorney-G
report which touches upon the star
route cases the President SAYS that ''if
any guilty persons shall finally escape
punishment it will not be for lack of
earnest and diligent efforts on the part
Of the prosecution" Commenting in
connection with the report of the Sc
cretary Of the Interior upon the litter
acy disclosed in certain portions Of the
country by the census returns, the
President thinks it a momentous ques-
ton whether Congress should not eX-
tend immediate and substantial aid to
supplement individual effort and State
legislation in behalf Of education. Up
on the subject Of ciyil-seryice reform
the President recalls the sentiments
expressed in bis last communication to
Congress, and adds that since these
suggestions were submitted ''the peO-
pie Of the country, apparently without
distinction Of party, have in various
ways given expressions Of their earn
est wish for prompt and definite action.
In my judgment such action should no
longer be postponed" The President
takes occasion to set himself right upon
the question Of official removals, and
claims that in the fourteen months Of
his administration only eighty-nine re-
moyals have been made, exactly the
same number made in the four months
of President Gartield's administration.
In connection with this subject he also
expresses his disproval of forced con-
tributiOns from Olfice-holders, and fa-
Vors their prohibition by law.

Am Empty Homestead.

Near Stanton, Va, stands what
is known thereab0uts as the Eng
lish House" 1t was bulls some
time ago by the late Viseount Mil
ton, eldest son of Earl Fitzwiliam
who in 1864 travelled in the North
west with Dr.. CherdIe, aud wrote III
conjunction with him, valuable
and interesting work therednent.
The house stands near the old Gala
han Hotel, u noted hOstelry in its
day, at which Lord ana Lazy Milton
put up and lodged much OF their
furniture, rich carpets, &c. The
very night they arrived the hotel
was burned Lord Milton, who was
heir to one of the richest peerages,
took up his abode in Virginia on the
score OF health and q great liking for
this country. Two or three of his
children were born during his resi-
dence here. After bis death Lady
Milton once came over for q few
Weeks,and subsequently her brother,
Mr.. Beauclerk, occupied the house
q huge brick mansion-f0r It time.
Then it was closed and left in charge
of Il woman, who is enj0ined not to
show it. 1t is still completely furn-
ished.
