A Traveller from Eureka.

Elko Independent: George Gone, who
went from here TO Eureka some three
years ago, came into town again on horse
back yesterday. Exposure to the sun had
so bronzed his features that few, if any, of
his old acquaintance recognized him, an
he was obliged to formally introduce him
self to his old-time friends. George is as
robust as a grizzly, and in answer to a
Hood Of questions rs to his life since leav-
ing Elko, he states that like the original
Arab, he has devoted his time to rambling,
having in the meantime spread himself
over the entire Coast, including Idaho
and the Webfoot nations. He spent some
time at Wood River, TO which locality, it
seemed to him, all the bsttle-borners had
converged. George remained over in
town to-day to r%ecuperate his steed and
exchange with the boys, and as the animal
will probably get fat by tomorrow, his
rider will point his toes il the direction of
the Base Range.

For the Long Term.

The genial and popular host OF the
Bureau Hotel, Pat McElroy, announces
himself in this mornings SENTINEL as a
candidate for the long term Commissioner
ship of Eureka county. 1t requires no
effort on our part to say the best things in
COMMUNICATION Of Mr.. McElroy as a candi-
date for this office. He is one of those
substantial and capable men OF business
who make the best Commissioners. He
knows what ought TO be done on the
BOARD: he has the backbone to do 1t; and,
being himself materially interested in all
public matters, as a heavy taxpayer, It can
be nredicted with safety that he will act
for the general good of the county. Be-
sides, Mr.. McElroy is a man whom the
neople have all confidence on account OF
bis established reputation for integrity
and honor. We do not presume to
suggest whom the Democracy shall nomi.
nate for Office, this is for the wisdom OF
the convention. but we will say that. IN
our opinion. the party has no stronger or
swiftar man for the race than Pat IeElroy.

- Little Off,

Under this head the Elko Independent
says in regard TO an article reproduced in
Sundays SENTINEL from the Silver State:
Now. the fact is. Battle Mountain Min
ing District was organized in the Spring
Of 1866 by parties from Austin, old man
Pickett being the first to find copper ore in
that locality. The editor of this paper
happened along there just at the time of
the organization, and located three copper
claims on what was named Long creek, one
of them being close to the spot where Bob
McBeth found the Little Giant silver mine,
more than a year later. But little work
was done in that part of the district, how.
ever, until McBeth's discovery of the Little
Giant, the principal discovery up to that
time having been made at Copper Canyon.
several miles south of Long creek. Among
the earliest l~ocators in the district in 1866
we remember the names of d. W. Welty,
@. E. Blackfan, Charles B~evelhymer and
s. S. Sears, all of Austin. We crossed the
valley in company with 1. G. Bateman.
that Spring on his first visit to Copper
Canyon, at which time he bonded the cop
per mines. which he subsequently sold to
an English company; which company we
believe still owns them.

The schoolhouse was the l~iveliest place
in town yesterday. over 800 children,
freshed up by a long vacation, coming to-
gether like the winds turned loose. There
was the usual and unavoidable exhilara-
ton OF getting started. Some Of the
urchins were greatly excited over their
promotions and others, of course, cha
grined at their failure to be promoted. 1t
was a matter for the Judgment OF the
teachers and they had to do what they
thought best. They certainly would have
been glad to promote all, If they had been
able to do so. The term starts out with
this corps Of teachers, placed as follows:
Prof. Mcdonald, Principal; Miss Wright,
Assistant in the Grammar Department;
Mrs. Atwood, Intermediate; Miss Riley,
First Primary; Miss Dorsey, Second Pri-
mary; Miss Mannheim, Third Primary;
and Mrs. Wendell, Fourth Primary.

New Mode OF Telegraphing.

1t has long been known that it is posi-
BILE to send a Geographic dispatch without
a wire over short distances, by means OF q
stream Of water. Professor Loomis is now
in the mountains of West Virginia, en-
gagged in making a practical d~emonstra-
ton of his theory, that a current Of cleo
tricity constantly passes through the air
at a certain altitude, and that telegraphlc
dispatches may be sent by means Of il.
By employing kites which we're raised to
the same height, using copper wire instead
of a string, he was able to send a message
a distance of eleven miles. He has erected
towers on two mountains 90 miles apart,
from which iron rods are run up into the
regions of the electric current. His ex-
periments will undoubtedly produce very
interesting results.

ACCIDENT.
A Man Falls $50 Feet Down
We'll.

Charley Vanini came into the SENTINEL
Office at 9 o'clock last night to report to us
a most shocking accident which occurred
yesterday afternoon at the willows, some
three miles from town, where he is en-
. ployed training some running horses for
the track. There was q man there work
ing for Frank Paroni, the keeper of the
station, named Dan Taylor, q man pretty
well known about town as q minstrel
performer in the concert halls. Near by
Paronis house there is q well $50 feet
deep with five or six feet of water at the
bottom, and which is cribbed with boards
set in horizontally to a depth of 80 feet.
From the cribbing down jutting rocks
occur on all sides. Taylor was drawing
water and complained of q cramp in his
back and asked Mr.. Vanini to help him,
there being W buckets suspended to a rope
which passes over an iron wheel above.
Taylor was subject to those cramps, and
when they seized him violently, he was par
allied for the time and would fall down
doubled up and unable to move. Mr..
Vanini assisted him to draw up q bucket OF
water and then vent into the house. Hav-
ing occasion to go TO the well soon after
wards, he was surprised not TO see Taylor
anywhere around. When be vent to draw
water for himself he noticed one of the
buckets jammed up against the wheel and
he had to climb up and ~disengage it from
it's fastening. This circumstance excited
his curiosity, and after he had drawn the
water he wanted, he went off to look about
the premises for the missing man. The
water be drew up appeared quite muddy,
but he thought nothing strange Of this a.
the water is nearly always rolled. Mr..
Vanini and the others about the place
started in the search for Taylor, but they
looked everywhere about the premiser
10 vain. They went then to the well
and saw one Of Taylor's slippers where
he had been standing pulling on the
rope when last seen. Three men
happening to come to the station, they
took hold of the rope with vanini and
lowered Eugene Norris, who had the nerve
to descend, down to the bottom. Norris
reported, when brought back to the sur.
face, that he stopped at the water. He
saw 10 body, but he saw the rocks spst.
tered with blood and brains. The body
had evidently sunk under the water. Ii il
conjectured that while Taylor was leaning
over the well pulling at the rope he was
seized with a cramp, and, losing all con-
troll Of his muscles, fell in and went like a
rock into the awful depth. The officers
went down last night to recover the body.
