WEIGHING THE MAILS.
rhe Beauty of This Red Tape as
Seen HereabOuts.

1t Is known that the operation Of weigh
ing the mails, every day for n month,
all over the United States, has begun.
There is no Office In the whole country,
however small, which is excluded from the
process, no mail sack however diminutive
that is not tested on the scales. Mr.. Wal
ter Marchant is the Nasty OF Palisade.
He has Pine Valley within his jurisdic-
ton also. The latter Postofice is on Pete
Hansen's ranch at his store. The 'heft"
OF the mail matter shipped therefrom is
correspondence between Pete and his
clerk, and as Pete Is often on the ranch
himself, this correspondence even is cut
off. The empty sack weighs five pounds.
When charged with its contents, II weighs
Eve pounds two ounces at most. To detect
the daily variation between two ounces
and nothing, 1t is requisite for Mr.. Mar
|,cbant to come up on the train every night
to Hansen's ranch. Having performed
his arduous task in q moment, he rides
into Eureka. Getting into town about -
o'clock he has just about time enough to
have a run with the boys, when he boards
the train again at $50 and takes in the
ranch on his way back to Palisade. While
en- route he tries to sleep, but with no
more success than a horse tied behind O
hash-house kitchen in fly time. The train
boys vie with each other in their success
full efforts TO keep him awake. He Is not
miserable with recompense, however, for
Uncle Sam pays him q per diem OF two
dollars and q half.

Monsieur ]. B. Grenier, a F~renchman,
aged 61, died and was buried in Eureka
yesterday by his friends. He directed all
his papers and other effects destroyed, and
enjoined it upon his friend, Mons. Alex
ander Dumas, that no information con-
corning his life or death should be sent to
his native country. He was a msn, we are
told, OF fine education, a first-rate book
keeper, and a thorough business man gen.
orally. As far back as we can trace his
history he was in Idaho in the times OF
mining excitement there, in 1884. He
came TO White Pine in the flush time OF
80. A year or so later he came to Eureka,
and has made his home here since. Until
recently he has held the responsible place
OF book.keeper for Mr.. Frank Aberdee,
n Of our chief business men.

THE POLITICAL POT.
It Boiis and Brings Some Names
to the Surface.


1t is carly yet for political states, but
there is hardly a time in the year, not even
the day after election, when there are no
some little plans entertained for the next
campaign. A number Of little crowds of
those who have the disposition, and have
partially matured schemes to take off the
baggage this Fall in the county election,
have already been formed. They have not
shown up entirely as yet, but enough has
come to light to furnish a pretty fair idea
OF their schemes, some of which may sue
coed, while others will be surely knocked
on the head. There is an unusual inter-
est displayed by taxpayers, and they will
have a good deal to say in the matter of
electing officers this year regardless of
cliques and combinations. Our reporter
has been carefully looking about him for
the last three months, and after taking
everything into consideration, he is salts
fed that the majority Of nominees for
county offices this Fall will likely be taken
from the following names which he has
accumulated Oh his note book. For the
present the SENTINEL forbears discussion
Of their merits or dement's. They are all
well known to the people Of Eureka, and
to the people Of Eureka we commend them:

The New York Stock Report publishes
the following:
oSome of the so-called played out
mines, as in the case Of the Chrysolite,
Little Pittsburg and others, have been
resurrected, and are again yielding a profit;
but we believe that almost without excep-
ton every one Of the Leadville properties
placed upon this market, so many of which
are played out could, with good, honest
and competent management, be made to
pay out for years to come, good returns
to stockholders. Some of our best mines
in the country have been out Of ore from
time to time, but development and perse-
verance has generally made them show up
again. AS late examples, take the Eureka
Consolidated mine. 1t ran out Of ore ak
months ago, but this week the good It'd
ings come Of 'ore found again and better
thar ever The Martin White mine, also
in the State Of Nevada, ran out OF mineral
two years ago, but after persistent work,
and at large expense, mineral has again
been uncovered, and Martin White gives
promise Of becoming a good dividend payer
again."
The above is not exactly in accordance
with the facts. Six months G the Eure-
ka Con. had reserves in sight to run one
furnace a year, and at no time during the
past twelve years has 1t ever looked like
