A Healthy Mining Camp building
Up at Diamond city.

f. j. Mette, a gentleman Of considerable
experience in mining, returned yesterday
from q visit to Diamond City, and gives
US q very flattering account OF the Enter
prise property. He says that the mine is
looking better than ever, and that with
the ore in sight he calculates that the fur
mace can be kept running at full blast for
six months, with fair indications of plenty
OF ore afterwards, and an indefinite pros
pect for Developments. There are now 65
men employed altogether in the mine
and on the works. The furnace is
working to a charm. Since it
started up, Dec. IS, it has stopped only
once, and then but for two hours to
tighten some betting. The ore carries its
fux in abundance. From 35 to 40
tons per day are reduced. The average Of
the bullion, Mr.. Mette ~ststes, is over $3.50
per ton. There is plenty Of water for all
purposes. Since Dec. 10, rs tom Of
bullion nave been shipped, and there are
As tons now piled up at the furnace await
ing shipment. This is certainly a crafty
ing condition of things, and renders Dia-
mond City II very important adjunct to
Eureka. The gentlemen who own the
property have invested their own money.
1t Is a legitimate mining enterprise. They
and the amp are to be congratulated on
their present success and the fattering
prospect for the future.

MIR. TRAINER SPEARS.
His Story in Regard 10 b Con
suniptive Celestial.

SumtDttVe OeAeSttAts
In order that everybody may have his
say. we publish the following at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Trainer:
Ed. SENTINEL: Please allow me to state
the facts OF "a Ludicrous Squabble
Over q C~hinaman," as yesterdays SENTI-
MEL termed it. In the first place, l have
store for about three years, and he owed
me $110 besides the mortgage. and when
he came to me for u team to go away, l
asked him what he was going to do towards
paying me. and he said he had left my
money with Sam Sing Kee, one of the
partners in the store. He said he wanted
the team to take him to Austin to his
cousin, who vas going to give him some
money, and he gave me SAT for a team and
driver. / gave them to him, thinking
my money was all right at the time, but
when I went to Sam Kee for the money he
had given it TO the runaway Chinaman to
give to inc, but he never gave it to me.
| Then Sam Kee and another Chinaman, by
name Charley One Tor better known as
Mrs. Kavanaugh's cook offered me $40
to go and have him stopped. for he owed
Charley One $500, too. and he Charley
went with me to stop him. / see by yes
terday's SENTINEL that Big Sim has taken
care not to mention that there were two
Cinnamon with me when he met me the
following morning. The captive China
man was in the buggy with me. while
| Charley One was with Pete VIM. /
knew l could get the Chinaman, for l told
Pete VIM to stay over night at the Will
lows Station, as l do myself and have my
drivers do always when they go by there.
When l met Big Sim and Kelly in the
morning, they asked for the Chinaman
(that is the captive one) and I let them
have him, for | knew they were depu-
tized by Sweeney in the evening, In
this Mr.. Trainer is mistaken. They had
only the promise of q deputyship on
condition of complying with the law
Ed. SENTINEL. and l did not want the
Chinaman then myself, but was bringing
him back for Charley One, who wanted
him and his books back to Eureka. By
that time it was settled between Charley
and me that he Charley would take
the mortgage of me and pay me the S110
besides the mortgage, for he thought the
store was worth four times the whole
amount. About my parting shot to them
Kelly and Big SIM, "that Chinaman
has got a pocket full Of g~reenbacks. Be
careful, you fellows, don't rob him." |
said that for a joke, for the Chinaman
paid me in ~greenbacks. / knew
the poor fellow had no money,
for it took all he had to pay me, and Pete
VIM had to give him 81 to pay for his
breakfas, at the Devils Gate, and he got a
quarter in change. and most likely the
one Big Sim found. 1t is false that there
was any putting or blowing about trying
to shoot the top of q buggy, or
anything else. / am sorry Sim
did rot make anything for his hard
work and cold drive land it was bitter
cold, bat Sim l don't think you spoiled
my business any at all, for / got eighty
seven dollars before l left Eureka, and
getting the mortgage and one hundred and
ten dollars besides. THos. TRAINER,
PETE VIM.

II has for a long time been the rule of
the Eureka Con. to assist tributers to the
extent Of grub. in case they could get no
ore in their pitches. the company being
afterwards reimbursed for the outlay when
ore was struck in paying quantity. Thus
a considerable number of men have been
kept at work to their own advantage IN
prospecting, backed by a certainty of a
livelihood, while the company has been
having its property explored cheaper prob
ably than any other way. Supt. Read,
upon receiving instructions from below,
announced yesterday that this system will
be discontinued for the present, where
upon about fifty tributers quit work. The
letter of instructions to Mr.. Read states
that the company docs not feel able, owing
to the present condition OF finances. to
continue the 'subsist" plan of tributing.

been found to give satisfaction to the mar
who wants to go to sleep and can't. To b.
sure, it makes a fellow sleepy to read som'
of them. but that doesn't count. We wish
to suggest a sovereign remedy-one tina
will cure in every case, or money refunded
It is very simple. consisting in employing
somebody to rap on your chamber door
occasionally during the night and vel
through the keyhole that it is time to ge
up. We have known boys to be KEEP
asleep until nearly noon by this ample ex
pedient. We mention this fact that oul
remedy may be used with discretion. Al
overdose may prove disastrous.

A Proper Inquiry.

Our dispatches inform us that Repre-
sentative Robinson introduced a resolution
calling upon the Secretary Of State for in
formation whether our Ministers in foreign
courts obey our laws forbidding them to
wear court dress and requiring them to ap-
pear in no other than the apparel of the
American citizen. 1t is a very proper in
quiry. Any one of our ambassadors who
affects loyalty in dress lacks horse sense
and is a first-water snob. The best thing
to do with such an ass would BIO not to go
after him with law, but to Danish him
from this country and leave him to him
self to make his living abroad without our
Government at his back.

CEUR D'ALENE.
Don't Leave q Good Situation to
Join in the Rush.

Don't Leave q Good to
jain i'm the Rush
A correspondent writes from Portland,
Or, OF the new mines with considerable
enthusiasm. The following extracts may
interest some readers:
1--WE are on the eve OF a great mining ex-
element, which will equal, il it does not
surpass, that Of Fraser River and Cariboo.
The Ceur d'Alene mines are the general
topic OF conversation. A company is
building 9 boat to run on Lake Ceur
d'Alene. A portion of the boat is already
shipped to its destination. This steamer
will be used for transporting freight and
passengers. They propose to run a small
steamer up the creek to Eagle City, within
six miles of the mines. There ia now
building in this city an engine for a saw
and shingle mill, the former to have a
capacity of 10000 feet per day.
''If the emigration to this country proves
TO be as large as is anticipated, there is
going to be trouble. The old mining laws
of Idaho permit a miner TO hold twenty
acres as a claim. II these mines are as
rich as represented, and Is, 600 miners go
there Dext Summer, it will be hard for one
man to hold so much ground.
Notwithstanding that all the reports
that come from there are very favorable, /
would not advise any one to leave a good
business or a good situation to go to these
mines until they are more fully developed.
Some say that over %, 900 people will go
there next Summer, and I do not doubt i.
10 the least, from present appearances.
lone must make some allowances for
those fancy reports coming now. The
writer has been carried away by more than
one mining excitement. and paid dearly
for it; therefore he would say to those who
are doing well, ponder over the matter a
little before going to an uncer tainty."

McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-07-03

THIS is how the Gazette-J Journal
feels about the presumption and timber
culture laws now under consideration
in Congress There never was any
good reason for the present congress
sional war on the land laws. The repeal
of the timber-culture act and the pre-
emption law was not and is not called
for in the interest of the people, partic
ularly the poor men, who can take adj
vantage of them to their prosperity.
We are glad to see that a reaction is
taking place among our makers. A
Washington telegram says that numer-
Gus protests are being received by Con-
gressmen against the passage OF the
House bill to repeal the presumption
and timber-culture laws. Mr.. Nelson
said tonight that he had received
good many remonstrances from the peo-
pie in his district, who claim that the
bill, if passed, will work hardship to
actual settlers. He says the bill is
looked upon by great many as a move
ment in the interest of railroad compa-
MES, as it would prevent people from
getting lands under the presumption
and timber-culture laws and compel
them to buy lands from railroad compa-
MES and spectators. ga great many
poor people who have had their home
steads and lost their rights" Mr.. Nelson
says, "can not get lands because they
have exhausted their hOmesteads. They
must, therefore, buy of these monopo-
lists The bill is regarded as a great
land-jobbing scheme. Ii will hardly
pass the Senate. Nelson has got hold
of the correct idea. This repeal scheme
is evidently intended to benefit some
body else besides the people. We hope
our Senators will oppose any repeal.
We say this wholly in what we regard
as the good of the masses who are to
take advantage of these laws and be-
come the pioneers of the unsettled coun-
try. We say no more lands for rail-
roads, nor foreign syndicates, but give
the poor chance at them.
