Ed. SENTINEL: During the early Spring
1t was confidently expected that teaching
works would be erected here this Summer,
but for some unexplained reason, this
much-to-be-desired improvement will not
be contaminated this season. The mill
has been operating on tailings for six
weeks or more, and is said to be producing
more satisfactory results than during any
previous run. Seven bars Of bullion is the
product for the present month. The
works are now closed for Q general clean
up, but will resume operations in @ few
days. 1t is proposed to keep running
until Winter, and, perhaps, then, il the
weather is not too severe. Only q few men
are employed in the mines of the company,
but those few are all working in ore Of y
high grade. The battery will probably be
dropped later on, when this ore will be run
through, and add materially to the bank
account OF the owners. But few other
mines are working ON the hill at present.
The Hartford and q few other small mines
are still producing some good ore. while
the Swallow, which held out such prom
ises q month since, seems to be under o
cloud. The managers of the furnace near
Palissde became interested, in some way,
in the latter-named property, and for a
month or more have had men working and
sorting the old dumps. Considerable Of
this ore was recently shipped 10 the fur
mace, since which time bnt little has been
heard from the management, and the
wherewithal to reimburse the employees
has not been forthcoming. As . result Of
this apathy On the part of che managers
the mine is now idle. Frequent letters Of
inquiry to find out why this 10 thus failed
to elicit any response from their en-
ployers, and sundry explosives are heard
in highways and byways which are more
forcible than elegant, and seem to portend
q coming storm.
Among the new business ventures i'm
mediately resulting upon the resumption
Of milling operations by the company we
find the genial face OF our old friend Ed.
Leventhal, an old timer OF Eureka, and
erstwhile Of the County Hospital. Ed.
has occurred the right and good will Of
Hattie L.. Murdoch in the restaurant BUSH
ness, and has opened a first-class house on
IA attohAOcs oAo ohAAJ SohAO a. ooAA16
the last week, and will reside among us
for the summer.
A decided innovation, as well ss o nov
city, to the denizens OF this vicinity is the
establishment OF 9 Sabbath school, under
the leadership Of Mrs. Bailey. They tell
us the days Of the hoodlum are numbered in
this locality. and for the good Of the COM
munity we hope it may be 30.
The common school under the able tut
ton Of Miss Miller, q young lady teacher
from Eureka. Is progressing finely. There
is some talk OF closing the school for 9
short season. This, if seriously contem-
plated by the Trustees. is manifestly an
unwise policy, and will hardly meet the
approval Of the majority Of parents.
Mrs. M. Stanton and her daughter, Miss
Minnie, returned Wednesday from an ex-
tended visit among relatives and friends in
New York.
Mrs. Crombie, accompanied by her
daughter. Miss Beccie. came in OF Sum
days train.
Mrs. Hattie L. Murdoch left yesterday
for q visit to California. ToMAso.
