ORIGIN or BI1LIARDs.


The game OF billiards was invented
about The middle Of the sixteenth
century by London pswnbroker
named William Kew. In wet wealth
er this pawnbroker was in the habit
Of taking down the three balls, and
with the yard measure pushing them
billiard fashion, from the counter
into the stslls IN time, the idea Of
2 board with side pockets suggested
itself. A black letter manuscript
says: Master William Kew did
make one board whereby game is
played with three balls and all the
Young men were greatly reoreated
thereat, chiefly the young clergy man
from St. Pawles hence one OF ye
strokes was named cannon, having
been by one Of ye said clereymen
invented, The game is DOW known
by the name Of 'bill-ysrd becauee
William or Bill Kew did first play
With a yard measure. The stick is
now called kew, or keu, It is
easy 10 comprehend how 'bill-yard'
has been moderiz3d into 'buliard. .
and the Transformation OF kew. or
'kue,' into que, is equally apparent.

Work 10 progressing on the Connolly
mine with good results.
Portions Of the Pioneer mine have been
leased and offer a good prospect.
The tributers in the Hamburg mine are
shipping q good deal OF ore and are doing
we'll ip their pitches.
The Fair Play ''bonanza" is not holding
out as well as formerly, and the ore is
lower grade than it has been.
Good reports continue to come in from
the Enterprise mine at Diamond. The
company is making money right along.
Tributers in the Bald Eagle are working

Parties are talking about leasing the

There is also some talk Of putting up Q

is panning out we'll.
Assessment work is being completed on

Messrs. Hilkey and Yerrick are develop.
ing the Nahant mine, on the eastern base
of Sllyerado Mountain, by means Of new
tunnel, now in twenty feet. There is good
pay ore or the surface, about 100 feet
above the tunnel, which it is their aim to
prospect.
A connection has been made between the
second level Of the Eureka Tunnel and the
incline winze from the first level. The
facility for prospecting the mine between
the two points is good. The force of men
employed is small, but the mine is paying
it's way. Advance capital is what is needed
to do the dead work. After that has been
furnished the mine can take care Of itself.
George Story, with the assistance of
another miner, is doing some good devel-
opment work on the Farrow mine, which
is situated on South Alhambra Hill. The
main shaft was sunk on heavy iron crop
pings, and in this the assessment work
was done for this year, when . small streak
OF ore assaying STA per ton, silver, was
encountered. A tunnel was formerly
started from q point below the cropping to
to cut the lode. It is now in Is feet, and
the prospect for q paying body Of ore is
very good.

Some Small Souls Write Malicious
aud Embarrassing Letters.
1t was to be hoped that the disease Of
malicious letter writing which has been
annoying the people Of Carson and Of
other Nevada towns would not break out
in Eureka. Within the last few days,
however, it has been proved that we have
our quota Of these small -souled scribblers.
They have not written anonymous letters,
but have done that which is quite as bad,
il not worse. They have written commun-
~ications to which they forged the sigma
lures Of other persons. So far, we have
heard Of but two Of their vicious tricks. A
w~ell-known young gentleman received Q
written invitation from q lady friend
asking him to come around aud dine with
her family on Sunday. Meeting her shortly
after the receipt of the invitation, he
| thanked her for the kindness, but was sur
| prised to hear her exclaim that she had
not written any such invitation. The diff.
ficulty OF the situation and the embarrass.
ment ON both sides can readily be imsg.
ined. This was bad enough, but their
| second mischievous effort was still worse,
~ IL Ttbult6Q Al Tue uumllldtlOu OI Ou6 OF
the pretticst and best young ladies in Eu-
reka. She received an ingeniously written
note inviting her when out walking the
next time to call in a certain store and see
a handsome present left there for her as .
| Christmas gift. The note was signed
(seemingly) by a gentleman friend Of hers
in the store. Without q suspicion, she
vent where she was requested to go. When
she made known her arrand aud found out
how stability she had been served she suf-
fered more annoyance than any Christmas
gift in the world could compensate for,
while the gentleman in question was mad
enough on account Of the false position
that he had been forced into to cleave the
air with horrid words, had not the charm
ing young lady stood before him covered
with confusion. These cases are probably
only two Of many others, the victims to
which have been too much annoyed and
Inundated to talk about them. A coat
of tar and feathers and . sharp rail would
do the mischief makers much good.

The Opening Address.

Teachers Institute Thursday morning al
Reno Schoolmaster General Young deliv-
cred an address Of considerable length.
devoted to a review of the various school
systems Of the past and present. 1t wal q
very we'll prepared and instructive essay.
One OF the most pungent sayings among
the many that he quoted from the old
masters wa these words from Seneca:
"Whenever corporal punishment is in
ficted, it is a sign Of negligence and indo.
lence on the part Of the teacher" As to
this sentiment there il . wide difference
among teachers. but there ia no doubt
that. as q rule, Seneca's idea is good and
human.

Smash.Up Wear Truckee - Manly
Conduct Of Engineer LOrinx.
The following special dispatch to the
SENTINEL last night explains why the G. P.

We do not know what passengers were on
board for Eureka. Judge Rives is thought
to be on the train. II il gratifying TO
know that only one passenger was hurt
and he only slightly:
TRucKEE, Dec. 29.-The Atlantic ex-
press this morning, when nearing tunnel
Is, ran into a loaded freight car which had
slipped down from the siding on the train.
Both express train engines were badly
smashed and 100 feet Of snow-sheds de-
molished. Engineer Loring was badly
injured. Engineer Hoadley escaped with
. few scratches. One passenger was slight
ly injured. A purse was raised among the
passengers for Loring, TO whose sense Of
duty in sticking to his engine, a frightful
calamity was averted.

Rock Creek.

Hughey McGraw has just arrived
from Rock Creek and reports several
new strikes in that section. He
brought in some samples of ore which
assay 81 900 to the ton, carrying black
sulphates of silver, and $50 in gold.
The mine locations so far made on
Rock Creek are opening up favorably
with work. Next season it is predicted
will witness lively camp down there.
The Guy and Rock Creek mines will
work a large number of miners, and
as quite settlement is forming on the
lower valleys of Rack Creek and
Wood River, postof1ice is to be ap-
piled for, to be opened at Stanton's
station, on the lower Boise road and
crossing, where a school of some %
scholars will be continued all winter,
and store will be opened soon.

Lower Wood River Valley.

Since fifty families now occupy
homesteads in the Lower Wood River
Valley from 10 to Is miles below
Haley, every tract of land is valu-
able for grain, root crops and hay,
while the foothills afford pastnrage
for unlimited numbers of cattle. All
along the Wood River Valley are rich
alluvial bottom lands, and plenty of
timber for every requirement. The
seasons are mild and roads excellent,
while the railroad is only an average
of five miles distant, and Haley,
Bellevue and the mines afford ready
markets for all they raise. From
some of the ranches the hay crop
alone reaches some 100 tons or more,
and is worth s25 to $50 per ton. The
settlement along Wood River ex-
tends to Is miles below Haley, where
the river passes through canyon in
the table lands some five miles before
reaching another valley. The tribu.
tary streams, such as Spring creek,
affords the finest of valley lands, but
being higher than the Wood River
bottoms, irrigation is necessary to
raise good crops, though bitches are
being brought in through each quar-
ter section

Military Ball.

The great approaching event and
topic of conversation is the coming
grand ball to be given by the old SOL
diers and sailors of Wood River, at
Haley Theater on August 16. 1t
is to be a brilliant affair, and every
soldier and sailor is to appear in
uniforms where possible. Feds and
Confeds will mingle in perfect har-
mony of spirit, and the occasion will
afford another opportunity for the war
veterans to fraternize. The music is
to be the finest procurable, and sup
per will be provided outside of the
ball tickets, which will be 81 each.
The theater will be handsomely decor.
ated, and from appearances fully oc-
cupied by merry couples. Major
Hyndman will be in command with
his aides.
