BELLIES AND PICKS.
The Beauties of Eureka Go
on a Tour.

EVer?-Ne Life i'm Old Hamilton.
ED. SENTINEL: James Orr, the char
loteer, rolled into Hamilton Monday even
hand, having on board the Rev. @. d.
Crawford, Mr.. and Mrs. W. j. Townshend,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Pardy and the fol-
lowing Eureka bellies: Miss Hattie Clute,
Miss Grace Psrdy and Miss Gertie David
son. Some of the boys thought the Saliva
ton Army had struck town. Mr.. Craw-
ford held divine service at st. Luke's
Church and discoursed on Joseph for his
text. The ladies named formed the choir,
assisted by our blushing Sheriff, j. II.
Lander, and our popular County Clerk,
John McKernan. Manager Eugene N.
Robinson gave a general invitation to the
party te visit Treasure Hill and the "fnd'
in the Stafford. 1t was a cold day on
Treasure Hill, but the novelty and grand
eur of the surroundings kept the tourists
from fainting by the wayside. After leaving
the most altitudinous city in the United
States we moved on to the new ''bonanza."
GOING DOWN.
The descent to it is 125 feet on an in
cline of 80 degrees. At the entrance the
young and genial foreman. Frank Paul,
provided us all with candles. He was
overcome by the presence OF the bellies, and
he was 80 elated that in place of giving one
candle to each of US he gave each of us
two or more. He was bewitched and he
could not help it. Well. down we went,
bellies, candles and all. Soon q shrek was
heard:
"oHl# I'M PAINTING"
Whereupon all who thought they were
going to faint climbed back to the surface,
being escorted thither in safety. The
others got down into inferno bravely. Say,
did you ever go down into a mine having
fair ladies under your care and protection ?
It's pleasure and fear combined, a blend
ing which l do not take hold of easily.
Yes, we went once into the b~roiling
depths Of the Belcher along with a dozen
daisy" schoolmarms, attired, all of them,
in miners breeches. 1t was just awful,
Joe! Ed. SENTINEL. The visitors were
greatly pleased with the spectacle of chic
rides, bromides and horn silver, distinct
from the glittering black and white
spar. The bonanza is very encouraging.
$4,000 PEI TON.
After the exploration of the Stafford
Mr.. Robinson took the party to see the
once famous Eberhardt mine. They were
shown the place Of the deposit from which
$50 tons Of ore were taken that yielded
81, 500, 900 in silver-S2, 900 to the toni
Next we were to go to the Eberhardt Tun-
mel. / struck out by trail TO prepare for
the party's arrival-lunch, etc. William
Reed, foreman, Capt. Drake being absent,
kindly prepared the train Of cars for our
use with the pet mule, kitty" to trans
port US q mile and d half on the tunnel
level and / 800 feet below the surface. In
stead Of all this, however, Mr.. Robinson
changed his plans and drove his guests
through Cathedral Canyon to give them a
view of the grand scenery. 1t sas q haz-
ardous undertaking, for no vehicle had
dared to try the road for the past year, as
it was all washed out and cut up. But he
started in to do it and nothing could have
stopped him.
A FESTIVE EVE.
Night found US all in Hamilton again,
and at a Delmonico lunch presided over
by Mrs. E. n. Robinson with the ease and
grace Of an ideal hostess. After this de-
lightful repast, Mr.. Robinson kept his
guests in a roar by reading from Josh
Billings, Mark Twain and Artemus Ward.
He is a capital reader and could amuse al
audience Of any size by his humorous
manner Of recitation. AT a tolerably late
hour the guests retired running over with
thanks to their kind hostess and host for
the hospitality so heartily extended. /
should not forget to say that Mr.. Robin
son promises them that, in case the find
comes up to expectations, to give them a
grand, unique masque ball.
NOTES ON THE MINES.
saw on the Eberhardt dump some very
fine quartz, with bromides all through it.
1t certainly looks as though large qusnti-
ties of the same ought to be found where
this came from. The Eberhardt and Au-
rora Company surely deserve success.
They have displayed wonderful energy
and pluck exploring their ground under
Treasure Hill and | am yet confident they
will be handsomely rewarded for their out
Law. 1t wouldn't take much of the stuff
| have referred to to pay them back and
put them on a dividend basis.
Supt. j. II. Kendall is running on tall
ings. Started up last week, and everything
running well. After a months run, and
a cleanup he will be able to tell how the
thing is going to pan out. He has let an
other contract on the Jennie A tunnel,
which is now in $50 feet, and has cut the
quartzite. Should ore be found he will
probably start a furnace next Spring or
Summer.
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
Judge Doolin of Eureka is here. He
has taken a lease of the Imperial mine from
Hon. Thomas Wren. The Imperial is one
of the leading base-metal mines of White
Pine District. In Colorado, Utah and
Idaho it could be worked to advantage and
would be a No. l property. Judge Doolin
has also leased the Fay mine from
the Centennial Company of San Francisco,
for which l am agent. He is taking out
five tons of $50 ore per day, with three
men. The ore carries so per cent OF
lead. The Imperial ores average $50 in
silver and 40 per cent lead, with from 10
to Is per cent copper. These two proper
ties adjoin on the Hill, and both promise
we'll.
James and John Thomas have taken a
lease of the Silver Chamber from Herman
Happy.
James Brown and VIM. Cameron talk OF
leasing the Mountain Queen, owned by the
Mathewson Brothers.
