A PLEASANT EVENING.
The REGULATIONS and Music at the
Methodist Entertainments.

Entertainments.
RUBY HILL, New, June &c, 1884.
Ed. SENTINEL: The entertainment on
Ruby Hill Wednesday evening was a grand
success. For the opening Of the exercises.
Mr.. Moyle played in a skillful manner an
instrumental piece Of music. After a brief
statement Of the object Of the meeting by
the Chairman, Misses Nellie and Minds
Triple sang, "When the Dewdrops Bright.
ly Glisten" In an unassuming and sweet
manner. Miss Rachel Frank read with
much tenderness. 1.-THE Bridal Cup Of
Wine." This was 9 well-selected piece.
and was excellently rendered. After this
Misses Emile and Louisa Father sang q
duet, 1.-THE Sabbath Bells" melodiously
q defamation, Wounded" by Mr.. Allen,
recited in a mastery and effective style,
He brought out wildly the leading fea-
| cally encored. He responded by r~eciting
"Sparticus," which was done with as much
skill and power as the other. Then fol-
lowed singing, "The Ship That Meier Re.
turned" by the Misses Triple, in q
delightful way, which was heartily re.
ceived by the audience. After this, Miss
Esther Frank, who has just returned
among us from a successful term of SER
vice in school teaching at Elko, read ''The
Battle Of Nasty" with q clear accent and
correct emphasis, revealing study and re-
fined appreciation Of the sentiment.
Following her, the Misses Father ap-
pesred again upon the stage and
sang, "The Little Brown Church
in the Vale" in a charming manne and
were warmly applauded. Mr.. Allen ap-
peared again with a consciousness Of pre-
vious victory and gave us a short declama-
ton, then retired, declining to re-
spond to any further calls, because of
the lateness of the hour. Last on the pro-
| gramme was singing, Al Evening
Hymn" by Miss Rachel Frank, who as
tonished all present with her musical
gifts. This was a difficult but beautiful
piece of music, and the gliding of her
| soul into the vessel Of her voice through
the waves OF this sea of melody, was ex-
| tremely pleasing to those present. She
was warmly encored, but for the same
reason as that Of Mr.. Allen, declined to
respond. Mr.. Moyle played the accom-
paniment for the Misses Father. Miss
Esther Frank played for her sister and the
Misses Triple. This part Of the pro-
| gramme was well executed. Immediately
after the exercises refreshments were
served, and it was almost impossible to
meet the eagerness Of the demand. After
demolishing all the p~erishables on hand,
the people retired greatly pleased with the
temporal and intellectual feast, and anx.
ious to come again. We heartily thank
those who took part in the exercises, and
the people for their liberal patronage
| The entertainment melted S35 so.

Novel Libel Suit.

Emma Nevada is unwitingly q large fig
urer in a libel suit brought by Mile Marie
Van Zandt against J. H. Haynie, the Paris
correspondent of the San Francisch Chron-
icle and Boston Herald, for writing to
those papers that Van Zandt had intrigued
to get Emma Nevada out of the Theater
Conique. The case was called in Paris on
Thursday and among the papers brought
by the defense are letters from our Austin
warbler. Haynie was sentenced to pay a
fine of rs francs and suffer no imprison-
ment. and the plaintiff was awarded one
franc damages and her costs. Haynie was
also ordered to insert the judgment in
three papers, American or French. Law
yers and journalists present were much

Death of a stock Broker.


A Chronicle interview with Langtry con-
tains the following:
Her oval face, with its regular features
and the light brown hair fixed in coils,
around which All edge of shorter hair forms
a kind of aureole in front, bespeak the
birth, breeding and simple taste Of the
beauty.
W~hereupon says the Exchanges: When
the police pull in a hoodlum girl with an
oval face and IN aureole of short hair
around her forehead they will know thai
she is of good birth and breeding. The
hair is an index of character and "betokens'
blood. A man destitute of hair has none
of the finer feelings such as characterize
poetical natures like Oscar Wilde, Joaquin
Miller and Buffalo Bill, and all he is good
for is to sit in the front ows at the theatei
or to afford a recreation ground for the fes'
tive housefy. A woman without hair on
her head is-but the subject is too sacred

One Real and Another Imaginary
Tarantula.

George B. Hill, in the round of his
travels, came into Eureka yesterday to in
terview our tradesmen who want gro
ceries. liquors and cigars. He had an
adventure up in Idaho, Of which he bears
the marks yet. He was bitten by a taran-
tula, and his friends, having no other anti
dote at hand, filled the commercial traveller
with one of his commodities, i. @. whisky.
Being put to bed to sleep awhile, and give
the barleycorn a chance to subdue the
poison, he dreamed that another t%arantula
was after him, and, falling, got a black
eve. He avers-and we will vouch for his
earnestness and veracity-that, in the first
instance, it was tarantula sting and not
tarantula Juice.

An Excellent idea.

We are told that Mr.. Mckay, Superin-
tendent of the Richmond refinery, acting
under instructions from Manager Probert'
has issued an order that hereafter all m
ployes about those works must wear boots
instead of shoes. The idea, which is an
excellent one, is suggested by the recent
sad accident that befell Mr.. Sampson, who,
it will be remembered. had on shoes when
he happened to step into a pan of molten
lead. Had he worn boots he would proba-
bly, nave sustained no serious injury from
the mishap. We are informed that one OF
the workmen at the Richmond refinery
some time ago, made a similar misstep,
but, having boots on, he jumped ont, and
stamping on the ground, every particle OF
the lead that had stuck TO the leather was
instantly shaken off.

No Consolidation wanted.

Except in Ormsby county the Enterprise
scheme Of consolidating the counties OF
Nevada does not appear to be considered
favorably. We know that Eureka does not
want to be joined to any one or more of
Its %neighbors. The plan Of consolidation
Is sound and wholesome on economic
grounds, but there are actually a good
many people who would rather be poor
aud independent. The Lyon County
Times says:
The Enterprise has again brought for
ward the question OF consolidation Of
counties, and suggests that it would be a
good plan to unite Storey, Washoe,
Ormsby aud Lyon, and form a large
county with Reno az the county seat. We
40 not know the feeling Of the people out
side of this county on the matter, but the
citizens OF Lyon county do not wish to be
attached to any other county. 1t is very
well for counties that are in debt and can
see no way out of their dilemma to sdyo-
cate consolidation, for it would be a fine
scheme for them to take in W or three
prosperous counties to help them pay their
arrears. Lyon county is in a fl|ourishing
condltion-is to-day in as good q condi-
mon financially as any county in the State.

The SENTINEL is requested by Pat Nc
Elroy and @. J. B~oskowitz, who went
around yesterday and secured contribu-
lions for the benefit of Judge W. s. Grey,
of Hamilton, to the amount OF SIPS, to
say that there are a good many generously
disposed persons whom they were unable
to call on, and that these may have an
opportunity to add to the sum already
contributed by calling at the Bureau
Hotel where the subscription list has been
left. Judge Grey came over here to rattle
of a pair Of horses to raise a little money
to aid him in his troubles, which need not
be particularly mentioned among our
generous people. While he was trying to
do this he met with another serious loss
referred to elsewhere-a valuable horse
belonging to him was burned in Tom
Trainers stable. Under the circumstance
a word is enough.

CORTEZ.
Some Politics Mixed Up with u
Whole lot of Mining.


Col. W. o. Mills, Jr., and J. N. Hill,
candidates respectively for Treasurer and
Assessor Of Eureka county, on the Demo-
cratic ticket, left Eureka last Wednesday
morning for a trip through the northern
end of the county. The principal places
they visited are Cortez, Mineral Hill,
alpha and Diamond Valley. These gentle
men report the county safe, measurably
prosperous aud solid more or less) for
Cleveland aud Hendricks, though locally
mixed. They are cheerful over their in
dividual prospects for election, but modesty
inclines them to say that their advers-
aries, Black Wallace and Mr.. Hoadley,
have a living chance. But to come to
something substantial, never mind who
wins, we will talk upon the mining
industry which generally promises we'll at
CorteZ. The Garrison mine, which Is the
principal one in the district, is looking
very well. In fact, while it is yielding
now very handsomely it gives promise of
showing up q most important bonanza for
the future. The deposit is not a pockety con-
Germ. The ledge is a perfectly defined
assure which varies from Is inches to 6
feet in width. AS to the reduction of the ore
which is plentiful now and which prom
lses to come out hereafter in greater guam
titles than ever before, Mr.. Wenban, the
proprietor Of the property, is having the
ground graded for the erection Of works
for milling or smelling process. Fol the
purpose Of getting the necessary water,
be has laid pipe for a distance
of seven miles. He is busy grading
roads, etc., preparatory for future
work on an extensive scale to
correspond with the fattering prospects.
He has employed altogether in the neigh
borhood of $50 men, Of various nationali-
ties. Mr.. Lane ia the day foreman of the
mine, and is one of the most experienced
and reliable miners in the State. W.. j..
Mccormick, formerly of Eureka, has
charge on the night shift. The many
friends of this gentleman will be glad to
know that he is in good health and has a
position which is satisfactory. He is an
old hand at mining, and we believe that
Mr.. Wenban could not have got a better
man for the trust if he had hunted the
whole country over. Mr.. Henly, who has
been with Mr.. Wenban for a long time, is
the efficient foreman of the mill. Our re-
porters, the candidates named, did not
stay very long in Mineral Hill, but they
we're there long enough to see their friends
and to find out that the people in the
little camp are cheerful and confidently
expecting good things for the future. On
a recent run of tailings the company had
got out four large silver bricks. From
Diamond the candidates came over by way
of Col. Scott's ranch, stopping at the
ranches of Mr.. White, Mr.. North, Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Mau, arriving in Eureka
in time to be present at the fire.

A RIVER OF SILVER
Five Hundred and FOrty-SeveB
Miles i'm Length.

Virginia Chronicle: Silver mines never
die. From the days of Corte2, in 1921,
asEn to the beginning of this century, and
vn to the present time, except when in
trupted by revolution, the Mexican sill
yer mines have poured forth an unceasing
stream Of silver, such as the world has
never seen. Ii Is estimated that the value
Of the silver coin and bullion OF the
country since the conquest is over SO, 000,-
900, 900, and il is well known that some of
the mines have been profitably worked
almost without interruption from that
time to this, and that one OF them at least
is still running out silver at the rate Of
5000, 900 per year. California has yielded
about 81, 100, 000, 900 Of gold and silver.
Nevada has turned out something like $500
900, O00-possibly more. II it were all in
dollars, it would take every man, woman
and child in Storey county at least a year
to count il. Suppose that all precious
metal was silver dollars, and that each dol
lar contained 412k grains, and that l6
such dollors would weigh one pound, and
that $40, 000, 600 per annum for 80 years
has been secured by the people OF the
United States. IL would weigh 13l $780,
900. Now, let us load this vast amount
into wagons. Allowing 5000 pounds for
each wagon, it would take 43, $50 wagons.
Allowing so wagons per mile, it would
make a train Of wagons 5468 miles long.
II the train started from Virginia City, the
