After the Fire.

The fire ct the Grand Prize hosting
works, says the Tuscarora News, had
burned down yesterday afternoon SO as to
admit Of an examination Of the shaft. It
was found that only three sets of the top
most timbers had beer burned, those be-
low being entirely uninjured, as were also
the pumps and everything else in the
shaft. One cage was burned and also q
tank. The engine, boilers, etc., are still
80 hot that they cannot be examined with
sufficient closeness to estimate the damage
they have sustained. Supt. Dixon had re-
ceived no instruction from San Francisco
last evening, but he is Of the opinion that
the Argenta hoisting works will be util-
lied in working the Grand Prize and
Argenta ~Companies' claims. They are
amply adequate to perform all Of the work
necessary to be done in prospecting above
the 600 level, and the cost Of removing
them to the Prize shaft would be but

IALiSADE, July q 1000
Ed. SENTINEL: In response to your re-
quest for some further particulars with
regard to the death of Benjamin G. SAT-
ford, / will state that he was found lying
dead in a barn back Of the Beowawe Hotel
at Beowawe yesterday. He was accustomed
to sleeping there, and was discovered in the
morning by the landlady, who went out in
search Of him and found him as stated.
He was lying face down with his head
deeply imbedded in the pillow, and ap-
peared to nave smothered to death. An
inquest wa held and DIR. Hansen Of Win
nemucca summoned, who held an autopsy
and pronounced death caused from pull
monary paralysis, and q verdict was rem
dered accordingly. On his person was
found $40 in gold and some silver, though
no papers of any consequence were found.
The old man had often expressed the fear
Of being taken off suddenly, and lately has
been reluctant about going prospecting,
fearing that he would die in the hills. His
body was removed to Gerald and buried in
a mound between Gerald and the Stafford
mines, AZ be had often requested to be
buried in the district. The funeral was
largely attended, people coming from all
sections Of the country to pay their last
respects to the old prospector.

A Scene in u Sacramento Opium
IOiuf-

A Scene fn q Sacramento opium
Joint.
The Record-Union tells the following
disgusting story: Yesterday morning
while Officer Fredericks was secreted in the
alley between 1 and J, Third and Fourth
streets, wat ching for burglars whom he
expected would visit that quarter, a we'll
dressed lady and a good-looking young
man brushed by him and disappeared .
short distance beyond in the rear end OF
An opium den in the Chinese quarter.
About half an hour afterwards the officer
CROPPED his way through the filthy back
yard leading to the room where the almon-
eyed Celestial deals out the deadly drug to
women and men, boys M girls. and Ell
fected an entrance without being discov-
cred. When he entered the room he stood
agbast at the spectacle. On Q rude, wood
en- platform, recumbent in the arms OF her
lover, lay the woman in an almost nude
condition. while she was putting away ct An
opium pipe and fully under the influence
Of the drug. To describe further b
the officer saw, and what was being wit
messed by q dozen bIear-eyed Celestials
cannot be lone in these columns. The
officer arrested the man and woman, the
proprietor Of the den and another Chi
naman, handcuffed them together, and
took them to the station-house. Recent
developments and inquiries in regard to
opium smoking prove that it is not con-
fined to the lower classes, but that 1t has
obtsined quite a hold upon and is freely
used by some of the supper-tendom."
This vice is growing to an alarming extent
in this city. What they call ''joints" have
been discovered in lodging houses in many
portions Of the city, and occur every few
doors along Second street between and
L, and L street from Front to Fourth,
while Chinatown is full Of them.

I'm Some Respects the Greatest Law
rel I'm fhe United states.
just before the Supreme Court ad'
journed Chief Justice Waite said Of an ar.
gument made in the case Of the States Of
New York and New Hampshire against the
State of Louisiana: "That is the finest
legal argument l ever heard" And Asso-
ciate Justice Miller, who took his seat on
the Supreme bench in 1862, and, there
fore, antedates all the others, said: II
concur in that opinion"
The man who made the argument was
John A. Campbell Of New Orleans. He
was q member Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States when the most famous of its
present members we're unknown. He held
his place until the war broke out, and then
he left the Union and the bench with his
State. He reappeared after the war as .
member Of the Supreme Court bar with q
remarkable practice; even for that bar of
large practices and great fees, and has
stood in the front rank ever since.
He is q very old man. His form Is thin
and bent, his skin is in the parchment
state, and his hair is a. white % the driven
snow; but . great mind looks out through
his keen bright ere, and . great soul con-
trolls his fragile body. He is a lawyer to
the core--in some respects n Of the
wisest, broadcast, deepest and most learned
in the United States. He has neither the
presence, voice nor tongue Of the orator.
but when he speaks in his thin, deliberate,
measured tones, never wasting q word, the
Supreme Court Of the United States listens
as it listens to almost no other q Mr..
Campbell ia absorbed in his work. Hehas
no eyes or ears for anything or anybody
not immediately concerned in the case in
hand.
He lives very quietly in New Orleans,
surrounded by n Of the finest law Ii
braries in all languages in the world. He
ia a profound civil lawyer, with Justinian
ct his tongues end, and at the same time
q common lawyer, competent to battle
with the best of that class. His memory
is IS wonderful as George Bancroft's. He
apparently remembers every scrap Of Law
he ever saw or heard. and be has his re-
sources 30 classified and ~catalogued that
he can bring them forth at will. This is
what makes his dry, monotonous argu-
ments SO we'll worthy of the praise great
lawyers give them. Flowery tropes and
magniloquent metaphors would be out Of
place with such learning.
Mr.. Campbell is "well to do" and prac-
tees only because he loves the work. He
practices only in the Supreme Court. He
takes nom but great cases. He takes
only three or four in a year, att fee Of
from $4,000 to $25, 600 apiece. Now and
then he gives an opinion on SOM great
question to ONE less learned lawyer or to
some inquiring Judge who feels his def
cheney and seeks this powerful 'friend Of
the court" But all minor cases. that is,
cases involving minor questions. whether
the amount of the fees involved be great
or small, are promptly declined.

They have got a jury to try Coombs at
Carson for the murder Of Ross. 1t looks
as though two men had got into the jury
for a purpose. They were summarily
bounced" 1t will be interesting to
watch the course of the trial to see whether
the jury is competent" to administer the
law now that it is purged of them. At
any rate it is pleasing to learn that the
Judge ordered the District Attorney to
bring charges against both Piper and
of this proceeding. says the Carson Index,
ought to be salutary upon that class Of
persons who are too careless Of their
oaths when it comes to examinations for
Jury service.

Rye Hay.

A great many farmers north Of Reno are
raising rye hay without irrigation. They
drill in the seed, say the Gazette, without
p~loughing, putting it In early in the fall,
so that it gets all the early rains. and cut
it after it grows to a good size, but before
it ripons. 1t yields about three tons Of
hay to the acre. which ia claimed to be
better Than alfalfa. They say all the land
around Reno that is not too rocky would
raise 1t at 0 good profit.

Horace Eldred Of Sacramento bought .
horse last Wednesday from 8. Trefry that
is, to say the least, an equine wonder. He
is bright bay gelding, Is hands high,
compactly built and a perfect beauty. He
was raised near Salinas City, Monterey
County. The price paid was $4,000. After
the purchase the horse was driven around
the Agricultural Park course and made re-
markedly fast time. The quarter was
made in 80 seconds, the half in 1:04 and
the mile in 2:09A. The owner thinks that
before Fair time his horse will be able to
make the mile inside Of two minutes. The
Pacific Life, in commenting on the fore
going, says that unfortunately the horse is
a mystery in his pedigree. nothing being
known about him but what is here given.
Like Occident, however, the Life claims
that he adds honor to California, though
probably doubts will be thrown upon the
accuracy Of the time.
