Last evening between 8 and 9 O'Clock q
fne-looking, handsomely dressed little
boy about four years old. apparently q
stranger in Eureka, got separated from his
mother whom he had probably gone out
with for q walk among the stores. He was
found crying on-tlns sidewalk, and q gen.
tleman, who has a soft spot in his bosom
for children, took him mp and tried to
console him. The little fellow was terri
bly, frightened and threw his arms convul-
sively around the neck Of his stranger
friend, nor could anything for q time in
duce him to relax his hold. The gentle
man packed him around in hopes of find
ing the child's mother. A lady came up
and attempted to speak with him, but he
only looked around for an instant and
seeing that it was not his mamma he
screamed at the top of his voice. While
he was being carried around he thought
he saw bis mother in a dry goods store.
and jumping down he ran towards her as
fast as his little legs could carry him, but
when he got near her he discovered that
he was mistaken and he ran back to his
projectors embrace again, the tears fairly
streaming down his cheeks. In the course
of an hour the little chaps mother, q
lady from the southern country, who had
been looking for her darling avery where,
reclaimed him and then there was joy.

Rescues, BalI-The Fourth.

1t is q fixed fact now that there will be
no other celebration OF 1.-THE Great and
Glorious Fourth" than the ball to be given
BY Rescue Hose Co. No. l in the evening.
AS there will be no other opportunity for
our citizens to display their patriotism, we
suppose and hope most sincerely they will
avail themselves OF this anyhow. The
boys are making all preparations for Q
grand time. aud they will have it sure, as
in timee past they have never failed, and
the success OF the past is Q guarantee of
the future. We regret that the Olympic
Club saw fit to give q dance Friday night,
as it perhaps will somewhat initiate
against the boys in their effort-two
dances following each other in such quick
succession. 1t would have been Q graceful
act on the part Of the club for them to
have postponed their dance until after the
Fourth, as the Rescues had advertised for
that day, some weeks ago, and particular
~ so as we are informed the Rescues offered
to pay the Club for the whole, or the
greater part, of the expense which they
had been at in preparing for their festivity.
However, it is too late now to regret this,
aud we believe our citizens will not let
the ball OF the Hose Company suffer on
that account. The price Of tickets has
been put by the boys at the modest sum Of
So, and we again express the hope that ev-
cry citizen will take one, as our fire COM
panies must be sustained, or otherwise we
will again have our town laid in ashes,
and if the fire laddies give their services
gratuitously it is as little as our citizens
can do to patronize them in the way Of Q
ball ticket now and then to assist them in
defrayipg their expenses.

A BIG EROLITE.
A Large Visitant from the Realm
Of Space.

A Large Visitant from the Realms
OF Space.
The Butte Montana Miner says: Joe
Summerfeld and Mr.. WeAthersby, who re-
turned yesterday from . fishing excursion
to the Big Hole country, tell q story Of the
falling Of an immense erolite in the vicinity
OF Gibbons battlefield. where thy had
taken shelter from the storm Of Sunday
afternoon. About 2 p. M. q loud crash
was heard, not unlike thunder, and . shock
IS of an earthquake was felt, while the
heavens we're lit up with vivid flashes Of
lightning. Looking upward they beheld
the clouds torn asunder and from the rift
a large body was seen descending to the
earth, followed by . fleecy train Of smoke
or vapor. The rushing of the body through
the air, as If hurled by some celestial cat
apult, was . fearful sight and created Q
noise like the thunder Of an express train.
The erolite buried itself in the earth Q
hundred yards from the cabin which they
occupied, and when it struck the ground
the conclusion caused the cabin to shake
as if struck by . cyclone, and make . re-
port like the explosion Of q powder maya
zine, which must have been heard for
lies around. Recovering from their
fright, they hurried to the spot and found
a hole about three feet deep. Upon dig
cling down they came to q solid block Of
what appeared to be lava, in the form of .
turncated cone, and weighing from 500 to
600 pounds. The surface, which vas still
hot and emitted . sulphurous smell, was
covered with a greenish crust. full Of small
holes, such as might be made by finger tips
in a soft paste. The gentlemen brought in
several pieces Of the astral visitor, one Of
which will be placed in George Newkirk's
cabiBek.

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
TUscARoRA, New, June 30.-The Grand
Prize-Argenta hoisting works at Tuscarora
we're burned to the ground in Q few min
utes last evening, the fire starting in a pile
Of dry, tinder-like sagebrush in the boiler
ROOM. This 10 the sort of fuel used gen.
orally in Tuscarora for firing. During the
temporary absence OF the fireman q spark
ignited the infammable mass, and In an
almost incredible short space Of time the
whole room was in a blaze. The fire spread
rapidly, and in q very few minutes the
flames had enveloped the entire building.
Al. Griffin, the engineer on duty at the
time of the fire, continued at his post after
the roof was all ablaze above him, and he
did not leave his engine until he had
hoisted over 20 men to the surface from
the 300-foot level. 1t was impossible for
him then to remain any longer, Is the
heat became intense and the smoke suffo-
eating. The other men below, Of whom
there were supposed to be only six, escaped
by climbing out through the old shaft.
The loss Of the fire is $50, 00e. the outlay
necessary to replace the building and
machinery. There was only $4,000 in
surance.

A meeting Of the School Trustees Of this
township was held last night, at which it
was determined to re-employ the present
corps of teachers in the Public Schools Of
Eureka. There will be one vacancy,
caused by the absence OF Mrs. Marsden,
who leaves Eureka in . few days to take up
her residence in California. 1t was decid-
ed to reopen the schools on the first Mon
day in September with a full corps OF
teachers. The schools have improved SO
much in the last six months that 1t was
thought best to give them the best posi-
BILE start when work is resumed, without
any decrease of force. 1t may be found
practicable, after the schools get well un-
der way next Fall, to dispense with the
services Of an assistant teacher in the
Grammar Department, but it is feared
that to start with one teacher less than
are employed at present might impair the
efficiency of the schools, which have now
got under such fine Roadway that any
thing like an experiment should not be at
tempted, except on the side OF safety.

Thc Bancroft Process OF History
Manufacture.
A represent ative OF the Carson Appeal
spent half an hour with II. II. Bancroft,
author Of the Histories of the Pacific
Coast, and reports the following inter-
view, which will give some idea Of the
progress OF the work and the magnitude
Of the undertaking:
Reporter-what induced you first to un-
dertake 80 great q work as publishing 80
volumes Of history?
Bancroft-It was Q matter Of recreation
mostly.
Reporter-Not a financial venture?
Extraordinarily. l only expect to get
a portion Of my money back. I have
spent $500, 900 on the work, and I expect
to spend $500, 900. I had the means TO do
this, and concluded that it was better to
invest the money in such q labor than on
the turf, politics or travel. OF course, l
will get some OF this sum back from the
sale Of the work. / would like to get it
all back, but certainly cannot expect to do
this.
Reporter-How many men have you en-
ployed?
Bancroft-My writer's, compilers and
translators now number 20. H. s. Oak
and William Nemos are the best 1 have.
Much Of the labor is clerical. The his
tory department is separate. l keep 20
compositors employed, and the work is
never hurried. / get about $50 pages set
up. and send it to Painter 4 Co. to be
s~tereotyped. 1t takes about . tor Of metal
to stereotype o volume. / aim to have the
histories as correct o. possible, and get
every available scrap Of information. For
instance, I have finished the history Of
Central America, . volume Of 800 pages.
/ hear that . similar history has been pub
lished in Spanish. I shall secure this
work, and il it gives any new information
I shall re-write my volume. I have plenty
of time, and expect to continue my work
as long as l live. I I'm in nc hurry to get
through, as the work is not Q task in any
sense.
Reporter-Will you publish . history Of
Nevada?
Bancroft have men in the field a.
ready gathering material.
