A Better Outlook.

The SENTINEL ia reliably informed that
che Eureka Con. Company will at once
excavssing for the construction
OF another furnace alongside OF the one
now in successful operation. The furnace
will be almost q fac-simile OF the presen,
one, and will have the same working
capacity. We are also informed that 1t ID
more possible now than it has been in
many months that mutual arrangement
will soon be arrived at by the company
named and the Richmond people for the
starting up OF the formers large pumps
and draining the lower levels of the two
mines. II this is done o better future II
certainly ahead for Eureka, as il appears
to be 3 foregone conclusion among prsc
tical and scientific mining men who have
visited these properties that larger and
richer ore bodies will be found in the
lower levels than have ever been found In
the upper. We trust our information
will prove correct, and that the good worl
will commence at a very early day. The
Eureka Con. mine is looking and yielding
we'll, especially the Williams ore body on
she seventh level, which has produced
many hundred tons, and which is evidently
capable yet OF producing many thousands
Altogether, the outlook is good.

Sarah AIth cas- Pistol.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

SAN Francisco, Aug. 12.-Master Of
Chancery Houghton has forwarded TO
Judge Sawyer q corrected report regarding
the Sarah Althea Hill revolver incident.
He says upon previous occasions the re-
spondent has brought to the Examiners
Office during examination g pistol. having
the same in 9 satchel or handbag. Upon
one occasion, after the respondent had been
using toward the complainants counsel
harsh and abusive language, the respondent
took her handbag on her lap, opened ii
and sat for some length Of time with her
hand within the handbag. To the knowl-
edge Of the Examiner, while 80 doing she
was looking sngrily at the complainant's
counsel, and later upon the same occasion
the Examiner saw her draw partially out
of her handbag and exhibit to the Office
boy of Judge Tyler, who was seated by her
side, 8 polished and apparently metallic
object, which the said Examiner believed
to be q pistol. The foregoing is even more
explicit than the original report. As ex-
sminer Houghton handed il In he re-
marked: "They don't like my frst report
I hope this will suit them"

A LAND
An Idea of the Dispute Now Being
Waged over n Portion of the
NtaLoas, Ruueh

An Idea of the Dispute Now Being
Waged over n Portion of the
Nickals' Ranch.
After quieting matters at Niokals' ranch
Sheriff Stinson returned to town Tuesday
night. As was stated In yesterday morn
ing's SENTINEL. the trouble grew out Of
Thompson j. Bird, a claimant to a portion
of the ranch, going thereupon and cutting
hay. The land in dispute has quite Q his
tory. 1t appears that in early days, before
Eureka county was formed aud when this
section was embodied in Lander county,
VIM. W. Nickals purchased the large
ranch, which Ia some ten miles west of
town and which ia one OF the best watered
in Eureka county. The land was unsur-
veyed at the time and remained 30 for sew
eral years afterwards. Finally, when it
was surveyed Nickals felt so secure In his
claim that he deemed it unnecessary to get
title to the same from either the State or
Government. Matters thus went On when
Thompson j. Bird appeared On the scene
and entered asoldiers' homestead claim on
100 acres Of the property and soon after took
tlerefrom considerable hay, which at that
time was marketable at a high price.
Nickals entered suit In the District Court
here to recover the value OF the hay, and
the action was decided in favor Of Bird.
The matter was carried to the State Su-
preme Court, where the decision was re-
versed. This was during the years 1881
and 1882. In 1883 Nickals commenced an
other action in the District Court to &C.
quire title to the land in question, and q
decision was rendered in his favor. Since
then Bird has applied to the Government
for a patent TO that portion of the ranch
he claims. and inssmuch as Nickals en-
tered . protest TO the issuing OF the same
the matter Is now pending before the Sec
rotary Of the Interior. The action against
Bird last Tuesday was q writ of restitution
to enjoin him from the premises. The
same was duly served by Sheriff Stinson.
and thus the matter stands. Mr.. Nickals
now resides in West Berkeley. CAL, and
has other large real estate interests in the
town and county of Eureka.

Aunt Hannah Curley Ia known all over

every mining excitement that has taken
place during the 81 years she has resided
in the Far West. Her old home ia in
Boston. She left this morning for a short
visit Of business and pleasure TO the Hub
OF the universe. She expects to be gone
about three weeks. During her absence
her store will be in charge Of the Misses
Roarke and Kalaher. who will sell just as

wishes Of Aunt Hannah's many friends
will go with her in her trip to the other

An item ia going the rounds OF the
papers about the recent cruel murder OF a
Chinawoman ct Grantsville, Nye county,
in this State. In order to punish her for
something she had done, her inhuman
countrymen stood her up in a narrow tin
box and left her In the sweltering hot sun
all day. At sunset she was dead, having
sweat so profusely that 1t Allied the box.
rose above her n~ostrils and drowned her.
Not only that, but owing to the intense
heat the poor creature was actually par
boiled in her own sweat. The Walker
Lake Bulletin, which first published the
item, merely gave the facts Of the case
without comment, and as no one disputes
the story II must be true.

DEEP MINING.
Almost n Fixed Fact that the Joint
SHAFT VIII 60 Down.

ch"hs VIII w DOWhs
All of the evidences are in the direction
OF the sinking Of a deep joint shaft by the
Ruby Hill companies. There is in fact
little else for these companies to do. The
future Of both mines depends wholly upon
deeper mining. 1t is but a question OF
time when the upper levels will be COM
pletely exhausted. The water must be
taken out and ore sought at greater depths.
The mere starting Of such an enterprise
would give every one here new courage
and hope. The outside mines. though
numerous, n in the hands Of poor
men bring the camp out. Our main hope
is q shaft deep into the bowels Of Ruby
Hill. put down on joint account by the
Eureka Con. and Richmond. As We have
that we are to have it. 1t is said that Mr..
Probert and DR.. McKenzis are getting
pretty close together on the main PROPOSE
tion and have already agreed upon many
Of the details. Mr.. Probert visited the
Eureka Con. works several times when
here last. 1t Is estimated that it will cost
100000 to remodel the machinery and
pumps as they must be arranged before q
start can be made. Divided between the
two great companies the amount is insig-
nifcant. An advance of so cents q share
on the stock would pay it. The moment
II may be demonstrated that the water
can be successfully handled both stocks
will double in value in the markets. In
deed the sinking Of the proposed shaft is
the only thing that will give life TO either
stock. There are no speculative chances
resulting from the present surface work
ings. Hence it is the direct interest Of
both companies to take hold of the new
shaft. That they will do 80 in the imme-
diate future hardly admits of a doubt.
When they go at the work in earnest
the town and business generally will be
im~measursbly benefited. The new joint
shaft is about the only thing upon which
se can predicate q hope for an early re-
vival of matters here. Let the work go on.
