for without improvement in methods
there will be no increase in profits.
Let the soil be made a little better

crease in the yield Of products will
compensate three or four times the
outlay. On the other hand, if there
is a constant decrease in the fertility
Of the soil, the ability Of the farmer

not invite them to the hardships of

We published yesterday the instructions
Of the Postmaster General with reference
to the new special delivery postal system.
Under the law the new plan can only be
applied to towns having a population OF
1000 and over. A young Jaoksonian
friend has dug down through a mass OF
census statistics in the Federal Reports for
1880 and discovered that four towns in Ne
vada will receive the benefits OF special de-
livery. These are Eureka, Virginia City,
Gold Hill and Carson City. The popula-
ton OF these places, respectively, in 1880
was as follows: Eureka, 4,207; Virginia
City, 1897; Gold Hill, 1881; Carson
City, 4,229. 1t will be observed that Eu-

The Case Of Judge Clough.

Says the San Francisco Post: The At
torney General, who at first thought there
would be no difficulty in removing from
Office Superior Judge Clough, who is a
~lunatic. has changed his mind. The code
provides that the insanity of the incum-
bent shall create q vacancy in the
office, but the Attorney General,
agreeing now with the opinion Of
Judge Lawler, holds that the code
does not bear upon this case, because the
Constitution provides that q Judge may
be removed by q concurrent two-thirds
vote of both Houses Of the Legislature.
But the Attorney General is doubtful if
even the Legislature can remove Judge
Clough, for the reason that the Constitu-
ton, in providing q method for the re-
moval Of q Judge, also provides that the
accused shall have In opportunity Of
hearing the complaint and Of being
heard In his own defense. As an insane
person is incapable Of being heard in his
own defense, the Attorney General can
not see how the case Of Judge Clough ia
TO be reached at all.

AN ENCOURAGING FIND.
Good Ore at Great Depth fn Pros
pect Noun tain.


1t affords the SENTINEL great pleasure to
chronicle an important development in the
Ruby Hill Tunnel. 1t is the most encour-
aging thing that has transpired in this dis
trict in q long time. Eureka 10 not yet
played out. We have always had un-
bounded faith in the deep bowels Of old
Prospect Mountain. This strike ia espe-
cially Important from its great depth. II
will be remembered that General Conner
had a fine body OF ore in the Eureka Tun-
mel. That body in Its day was at the deep
est point reached in the mountain. The
Ruby Hill Tunnel is 700 feet lower than
the Eureka Tunnel, and 200 feet lower
than the Prospect Mountain Tunnel. The
samples brought down yesterday from the
new find are az fine as silk. We never saw
finer looking ore in the camp. The assays
and other particulars are given elsewhere in
to-day's SENTINEL. The samples are on
exhibition at the Jackson House. II the
discovery continues to improve for q few
days as il has in the last "a hours, the
Ruby Hill Tunnel will have q paying bo-
nanza. The company is incorporated and
has Q magnificent scope of territory.
The original owners did the sensible
thing in the beginning Of consoli-
dating q number Of claims, some
20 odd. and taking stock in the tunnel com-
pany. The owners were feeling particu-
lsrly jubilant last night. The stock made a
big jump In the confidence Of the holders
on the strength Of the strike. All Of the
shares are owned by Eureka people. Hon.
H. X. Mitchell owns q big slice, the largest
we believe Of any single individual. He
richly deserves his good fortune, for he is
the most enthusiastic %prospector in East
ern Nevada. He has faith in Eureka's
mineral and has been operating
here for years all along the line from Ruby
Hill to Secret Canyon. Among the other
shareholders we learn Of John E. Jones.
