A recent dispatch from Victoria (B.
c. says: cat New Westminster, about 8
P. M. yesterday, a negro, named James
]. Chamberlain, engaged as cook at the
Abbotsford Hotel. while ~disputing with
a Chinaman about some washing, became
enraged, and drawing a revolver, shot him
through the head, the ball entering at the
ear. The Chinaman is still alive, but
there are very slim chances of his recov-
cry. Chamberlain fled before the alarm
was given and is still at large" Chances
are the darky had made u personal appli-
cation to himself of the thresdbare Jokes
of the newspaper funny man and the
circus clown, aud was driven to- despera-
ton by realizing that he was about TO be
the hero of still another one Of these old
saws. He explained to his friends after
the shooting that no would rather be
published as a murderer than get into the
papers az pursued by a Chinaman for a
wash bill.

MINING.
Brief Notes of What in Going On In
the District Mines.


Waters & Co. are shipping quartz ore to
the Richmond ~rnace for tiux.
The Fourth Of July mine has been
leased to George Andrews and brother.
The Clipper mine on Home Ticket Hill
is producing ore carrying from 20 to so
per cent lead.
The tributers in the Hamburg mine are
still successful, and are making dividends
for the company.
1t is understood that the E. d P. R.
R. Company will make special rates for
ore to Salt Lake.
Martin Piantoni has made another
strike in the Dead Broke, the richest ore
ever found in the mine.
Messrs. Lane and jenkins have struck a
body Of rich ore in the Excelsior mine,
which they leased lately.
The rich ore streak in the North Addi-
son chamber of the Eureka Tunnel gives
evidence of still further Improvement.
The prospects for pay ore in the Uncle
Sam mine, on Peelstick Hill, are very
good-red lime and iron showing up
abundantly.
Much Of the preparatory work at the
Connolly mine has been completed, and
the resumption of developments will short
ly take place.
The 200-level of the Eureka Tunnel is in
a fine prospecting condition, and If a force
Of men we're employed it would very
probably show up a good deal of ore.

A Had Affair.

The story of Ernest Hawley and Bert
Rising, sons of Supreme Judge T. P. Haw-
ley and Richard Rising, District Judge of
Storey County, charged with abstracting
money from the mails on the Carson Il
Colorado Railroad, grows no better with
developments. Young Hawley was mail
agent and young Rising was Wells, Fargo
Il Co.'s messenger, but being discharged
was returning home on the train, and, so
Hawley says, was allowed by him to sleep
in the mail car. The Carson Tribune says f:
The two young men drank freely, result
ing in Hawley falling asleep. The latter
claims that Rising distracted a sum of
money from a registered package while he
(Hawley) was in that condition. Rising,
OF course, denies the charge. An investi-
CATION of the matter should be had at once,
so as to relieve the innocent party from the
odium attached to such a crime.

GEORGE BOOTHS CASE.
Remarkable Consumption of In
Liver and One Lung.

George Booth, son of John Booth, the
we'll known editor and proprietor OF the
Austin Reveille, who was recently brought
from Blackfoot to Salt Lake City and
placed in st. Mary's Hospital, where he
died on Monday, the 7th inst, was well
known in Eastern Nevada, and was at n
time employed as pressman on the SENTI-
MEL. After leaving here he went to Bel
mont, where he got into a shooting scrape
and was horribly wounded. 1t was from
the effects of tlese wounds that he ulti-
mately died, though, after going down
seemingly to the very doors Of death, he
rallied and was tolerably healthy for years
afterwards. A year ago he began to
droop, and last November he was seized
with indiscribable pains in the n~eighbor-
hood of the kidneys. The cause of these
pains, which bafiled the physicians, was re-
vealed by an autopsy, which the Salt Lake
Tribune describes as follows:
DIR, Hamilton made an autopsy on the
body, and the result was astounding. The
Iung that had been injured was so disin-
tegrated that its structure was all broken
down and in the body OF it were Jumps.
The liver was enlarged; its texture, too,
was broken down and fused into q soft
pulpy mass, but containing similar hard
Jumps to those found in the lung. A
further search exposed a tumor which ex-
tended across the body for several inches,
which was, moreover, attached to the
spine, and which also had the Jumps. A
microscopic examination of these Jumps
revealed the fact that each one contained a
cancerous cell. OF course no medicine
and no surgery could have prolonged his
life for a day. The wonder is that he did
not die weeks ago. In the above the
Tribune merely attempts, in a bungling
way, to report what was a scientific
description as it fell from the lips of DR..
Hamilton; and which, by the way. was
told as a favor, and not with the expecta-
ton that it would be published.

ssJohn's', Opinion of John.

John t. Baker, who enjoys a joke on
others, tells one ON himself. Some six or
seven Cinnamon were arrested last Friday
evening for running a lottery game, the
mysteries Of which are known only to
themselves. The boss Of the gang. want
ing to get his trunk out Of Jail, where it
was in soak, and that right off. because it
has his money in it, was told to employ
John Baker as an attorney, as his regular
lawyer was out Of town. He went and
came back to the Sheriff, who had recon-
mended John to him, but he evidently did
not get a very satisfactory impression of
the ex-President of the Infrmary. He
told Mr.. Sweeney in language which,
translated, was: II have seen him and
talked to him, but I'm afraid il he don't
win he may spoil the case. I guess I'll
wait and let the trunk and the Cinnamon
stay in jail" They are still in the cooler.

An Answer TO Correspondents Seek.
I'M. Information.


The SENTINEL, presumably owing to the
fact that one of its proprietors, Mr.. Gas"
sidy, is a member OF Congress, has re-
ceived a number of letters asking for
information in regard to the vacant An
napolis cadetship, and, also, in regard to
the cadetship at West Point, which, we
believe, is to be filled by appointment
from Nevada next term. In both cases the
examination for admission to the Acade-
mics is about the same. 1t goes no further
than through the bare rudiments Of an
English education. 1t involves arithme-
tic, reading and writing, including
photography, a knowledge Of the elements
of English grammar, of descriptive
geography. particularly of our own coun-
try, and Of its history. 1t should be said,
however, that the examination in these
elementary branches is exhaustive and ex-
tremely rigid. AS far as the admission to
either West Point or Annapolis is on
cerned, any time spent by a boy who has
not all these studies at his tongues end,
in superior studies not required, is
just that much time wasted; although, if
he ia sure of admission, any knowledge he
may have Of the higher branches in the
course OF study prescribed, will, of course,
be greatly to his advantage. The require
ments for entrance are slight, but the four
years subsequent are brim full OF work,
and a boy must be either exceptionally
bright or very industrious in order to
graduate with honor. AS regards the
physical examination, the services of a
physician, in most cases, are hardly
needed. If a boy has any defect of body that
would impair his usefulness as a soldier
or sailor in active service land who can
fail to observe such a deficiency?) he will
not be admitted. If be is conspicuously
under size for his age-candidates must
not be under II or over 81 years old; if his
sight or hearing is affected; or if his
health is imperfect by reason of any or
ganic or chronic disease, he will be sure
to fail in his candidacy, never mind how
well he may be able to pass the literary
examination. We hope this will be taken
by those who have written to us on the
subject as a general answer. 1t is the
best we can give with the information in
our possession at present. All the details
can be had by application to the War
Department, or to either the Naval or the
Military Academy, or to Mr.. Cassidy at
Washington, through catalogues published
by the Government and covering the
entire ground. If it is not out of order,
however, we would advise the teachers Of a
number Of boys in the State who are pre-
pairing them for the coming competitive
examination for admission to the Naval
Academy, to confine themselves strictly to
a tuition OF the rudiments named, 80 as to
make their pupils perfectly au fait in
these a b c's.

The widows Claim.

1t appears that Pritchard, n of the
pioneers in Ceur d'Alene, was staked by
Mrs. Edgington, Abe Edgington's widow,
and that one of the richest claims in the
district, located by him partly in her
interest, has been jumped. The claim has
already yielded considerable gold, and the
widow is going to fight the jumpers next
Spring to recover the ground.

which Gen. jackson was engaged was in
1913. 1t was no fault Of his. A young
Captain named William Carroll, who later
became a General. was a favorite Of
Jackson's. Jesse Benton, a brother of
Col. Thomas III. Benton, challenged Car
roll to fight a duel for some imaginary Of
tense. Carroll succeeded in getting Jack
son TO be mis- second, though the General
did all he could 20 make a pleasant settle
ment. Jesse Benton was untamed and
fiery, and would fight. They met, and
Carroll wounded him. Jackson, who was
aggravated that the fight should take
place at all, made light of the affair all
round. Jesse Benton then poured into
the ears Of Thomas Benton a wonderful
tale, and Thomas at once denounced
Jackson as an migrate, a traitor, etc.
Jackson said he would horsewhip him on
sight, and every one believed it. On Sept.
all the parties were in Nashville.
Jackson, with his friend, Col. Coffee, went
TO the post Office, where they saw the two
BentOns standing.
snow, you id rascal, am going to
punish you" said Jackson to Tom Ben
ton, advancing, riding whip in hand.
Benton made movement to draw a pis-
tOl, and Jackson drew his, still advanc-
ing, whip in hand. Jesse Benton then
discharged pistol loaded with slugs at
Jackson, literally tearing up one of his
shoulders. Jackson fell, weltering in
blood. A running duel then commenced
in the street, though without effect. Cot
fee shot at Thomas Benton and knocked
him down a flight Of stairs, and friends Of
jackson tried TO kill Jesse Benton, who
was wounded with a dirk. jackson
came very nearly dying, and carried Ben
toms ball to his dying day. This was the
last of the important engagements in
which Gen. Jackson figured.
