HAMILTON, New, Oct. "a, 1886.
EDITOR SENTINEL: II. L. Bartine, the
stump orator, who is canvassing the State
in the interest of the Republican party,
made his appearance before a Hamilton
audience the other evening. The turnout
was not so large as that at the Democratic
rally the week previous, many remaining
away on account Of the Indictment weather.
Still the house was full and the audience
appreciatiye and attentive, though lacking
the enthusiasm that characterized the
assemblage that greeted tho Democratic
nominee for Congress.
Mr.. Bartine like most Republican
speakers portrayed in glowing colors the
great good his party had done the country
by its enlightened and conservative (?l
administration during the last "a years,
their standing, particularly of the last few
years on the Chinese question, and the
almost superhuman efforts put forth ~
by the party to bring silver on a par with
gold.
1t is useless to enter into the details of
Mr.. Bartine's speech, for though quite
liberal in his views as a Republican still
nothing original was advanced by him, il
being merely a repetition of what we have
always been favored with from a Repub-
lican standpoint. st times the speaker
was compelled to draw upon his imagina-
ton to supply the insutficiency of facts
and figures, which we're such prominent
features Of Mr.. MacMillan's speech of o
few evenings ago
Now tina: the election is drawing near
oil the respective candidates upon the
county ticket are out making their canvass.
They can be seen leaving town at an early
hour almost every morning with a jug
under one arm and a box of cigars under
the other, striking out for Newark, Cold
Greek, Taylor and vicinity, with a stern
resolve pictured upon their c~ountenances
that they must win. But as all cannot
win-for some are bound to lose-there
will consequently be much wsiling and
crashing of teeth after the I'd of Novem-
Der.
Winter has come and with it q. its
terrors-snow, wind and cold, Twice
during the last ten days snow has fallen to
a depth of several inches, though judging
from appearances at present writing we
will have good weather for several weeks
yet. However, the ranchers and old resi-
dents predict a severe Winter on account
Of the different marks and phases peculiar
to the late storm, which can only be de-
ciphered by the weather prophets in and
about this section.
The Smoky mill is still rafting away.
though it will shut down soon on account

ing every day, there not being sufficient to
run on. Teams have been put on hauling
water night and day from the California
mill, and it is quite novel sight to see
and as novel in realizing that enou gh
water can be hauled to keep as large q mill
as the Smoky running. Nevertheless. 1t
Is a fact that though the pressure iSegreat
and, were it not that Winter is so near at
hand, the water works would be started,
for ore is still coming down from both the
Stafford and Edgar mines. 1t is said
these two properties are showing up very
we'll both in the quantity and grade of the
rock that is being shipped to the mill.
Quite an improvement is also apparent
in the Wheeler Tunnel. In the face of a
drift from the tunnel ore of good quality
is coming in, and indications point to a
big development in that vicinity in the
near future.
All that this section wants ia a body Of
ore in the Wheeler Tunnel, Hidden Treas
ure mine,) and then il would be but a
short time before old White Pine would be
enrolled as the leading bullion producer
