Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1888-02-11

The SENTINEL has information that the
feeling in many circles in ssh Francisco
in the future Of our district has greatly
improved Of late. The recent important
development in the Eureka Consolidated
mine" the Old Reliable'-has contrib
uted largely, if not mainly, in bringing
about this result. The late find in the
Diamond mine on Prospect Mountain is
also another influential factor. In all
directions, in fact, the mining interests
Of Eureka are more promising just now
than at any time in the past three years.
The SENTINEL has never lost faith in Eu.
reka. The business Of the camp declined
but we were always hopeful Of the future.
We knew that we were surrounded by the
largest continuous stretch Of mineral ter.
ritory TO be found elsewhere OF the face
Of the habitable globe. We were well
aware that no mining camp in any OF the
Western States or Territories could begin
to compare with us in mineral resources,
and while Others faltered and drifted
out, we have stood to the fore and cease
lessly proclaimed the faith that was in
us. 1t has not always paid, but the
SENTINEL is conscious Of having per-
formed its full duty to it's patrons and
the district. II has done more than its
share-done more than all other inlu-
ences combined-to prevent eternal dark
ness settling upon the old camp. When
all others failed II remained stout OF heart
and purpose, and continued issue after
issue to carry "the glad tidings Of great
Joy" to the uttermost ends OF the earth.
Our reward is already in sight. We are
to have q revival and q great awakening
in the mining industry in this district.
The old times Of '76 are to return, and
this time to stay. And with theimproved
condition Of affairs will return also many
an old timer who thought they had left
US for good. Unless all signs fail we
shall expect much better times in Eureka
the coming season. We are not looking
for q booming excitement to come upon
US all at once, but a gradual and steady
growth that will mean good business and
a healthy prosperity.

A PLAIN, ORDINARY THIEF.

c. C. Stevenson, Of Nevada, has got
control OF the Kentuck mine. He has got
a dummy board of directors, who, in def
ance OF law, justice and decency, have
made a lease to C. c. Stevenson on such
terms that, while he has made a million
dollars, his fellow stockholders have been
paid less than "a, 500, all told. He has
not only robbed the stockholders on the
lease, but he is now robbing them on the
ore returns. He has Quilted the mine for
his own profit, and left his fellow stock.
holders-his partners-without a dollar.
He has stolen their ore and their money.
and he Is only a plain, ordinary thief.
His contract is inequitable and void in
law, and any court not bought with his
money would set ii aside, on demand,
and make him account for what he has
stolen. There is nc need for him to be Q
thief. He has money and could well af.
ford to buy the few thousand shares OF
stock that are in the hands of outsiders.
The stock is worth about SlC0 per share,
though people, tired of being robbed, Of
ten sell it in the stock board for two or
three dollars. In the meantime, the
stock exchange ought to look into the
swindle.
The above article is from the San Fran
cisco Evening Post. The matter is dis.
tinctly libelous, if untrue. Under mod
ern rulings Of the courts the truth may
be pleaded in mitigation Of damages, pro.
vided a good purpose can be shown in the
publication. We do not quote the Posts
article spprovingly. As a matter OF fact
we know nothing whatever about the
truth or falsity of its charges. But G. c.
Stevenson is the Chief Executive Of u
State. To say that our Governor is a
common thief, as the Post does, is to re-
fleet upon the good name and character
of the entire people Of this Common.
wealth. In the name Of the people OF
Nevada we repel the SANDER. But it is
the duty of Governor Stevenson to do
more. He should hold the Post to the
strictest accountability for its ill.tem'
pered language. We hsvealways regarded
the Governor as an uprightand altogether
valuable citizen Of the State; but If he
permits these charges to 60 unnoticed
and unanswered, we may reluctantly be
compelled TO revise u estimate OF his
worth. We demand that Governor Ste
venson shall demand the fullest investi-
CATION of his connection with the Ken.
tuck mine.

NEvADA's POUR PROTECTED IN.
DUsTRIES.

There are but four articles in the tariff
law, as it stands, that are produced in
Nevada. These are lead. wool, copper
and borax. The duty on lead is two cents
q pound, or forty dollars a ton. On wool
ten cents 8 pound. On copper twenty
per cent ad vslorem, and on borax ten
per cent. Borax had not been protected
prior to 1888, at which time General
Rosscrans and the gentleman who then
represented Nevada in the Lower House
succeeded in having it added to the duti-
able list. But the leading interests Of
Nevada in the tariff are her lead and wool
products. Any Interference with the
duty on lead would seriously cripple the
working Of our low grade lead and silver
ores. In this regard Eureka has more at
stake than any other place in the State,
since we are the only lead. producing
camp Of prominence in Nevada. As be.
tween the lead and and wool industries
in Nevada, the former is the most import
ant OF the two by reason Of the greatest
number Of men which it employs. But
we would be glad to see present rates Of
duty maintained on both. The rate on
lead is the most difficult to uphold in
Congress. The trouble is that there are
not to exceed three members who repre-
sent lead.producing sections, while the
sheep industry is almost universal from
Ohio West. The members from Nevada
and Colorado, and one district in South.
western Missouri are the only immediate
representatives of lead. We predict,
therefore, that il there is any revision Of
the tariff by the present Congress lead
will be cut down from forty dollars a ton
to say twenty-five or thirty dollars.
There will be a large number of Repre-
sentatives to fight for wool, and this
article may possibly escape without a cut
The production of copper and borax in
this State has never attained large pro.
portions. High rates Of transportation
have strangled both industries in their
infancy.

soI.ICrrUDE ron THE FORESTS.

In the United States Senate the other
day, Senator Hawley Of Connecticut, in.
troduced a resolution calling upon the
Interior Department for suggestions as to
how Congress might proceed in the en-.
actment Of a law to preserve the Ameri.
can forests. The inquiry is timely. Our
forests are disappearing at a rate tina
will completely destroy them in a few
years. The question of timber is one OF
special Importance to all of that vast re-
gion lying between the Missouri river
and the Sierra Nevada mountains. The
millions Of population who are to occupy
these plains in the near future will have
o serious obstacle to combat in the scar
city of timber for domestic use. But are
not our laws on the subject a singular
contradiction as they stand to-day. BY
a high tariff duty we exclude Canadian
and British Columbia lumber from our
markets. On the other hand we offer a
bounty for the planting of trees under
the Forest Culture Act. In q law we
exclude foreign lumber, the importation
and use Of which would preserve our own
forests, and in another VI give a bonus
to those who will cultivate forests. There
may be profound wisdom and statesman.
ship in these laws, but we confess that
we have never been able to see the point.
While we are not much in favor of swell.
ing the free list, candor compels us to
say that President Cleveland is not far
put of the way when he recommends that
the tariff be removed from lumber. Every
foot of lumber brought in from Canada
would save a foot of our own lumber for
the uses land abuses) of posterity.

he also helped Nevada. In all the great
mining, railroad and other enterprises in
the western part Of the State, Sharon for
nearly twenty years was the moving
spirit. He had friends and deserved
them, because he was always devoted TO

q host Of his intimates did not get rich.
The same has not been true OF the Com.
stock since sharon stepped down from
the supreme control. But to return to
his relation with the dashing and design
ing Sarah, we believe his conduct was
foolish in the extreme. Still we do not
believe he married her, Notwithstanding
the Supreme Court Of California says he
did. He was more foolish in allowing
the case 10 20 into the courts. II money
was what was wanted he should have
paid princely, rather than have these
scandslous details dragged into public
view. How the late decision will affect
his estate remains to be seen. We see
that Judge Terry claims that his wife will

is a good many dollars. But we shall

A RAILROAD COMIN0 SURE.

So much interest is felt in Eastern Ne.
vada in a second or new railroad across
our State that we may be excused for re-
ferring to the subject again. We are all
agreed that another road would be the
making of Central and Southern Nevada.
There is no necessity for discussing the
bearing a second line would have on the
general welfare and prosperity Of the
State. That may be taken for granted.
The chances for the construction Of the
road is the thing that information is de.
sired about. Touching this phase Of the
subject we have special facilities for OBJ
tanning reliable data. From the best we
can gather we feel sanguine that another
line will make a break across Nevada the
coming Summer. Any company will be
satisfactory. But q company operating
through line of its own from ocean to
ocean will be preferable. That such a
line Is now assured we have little or NO
doubt. Jay Gould Is to be behind the
new enterprise. He already owns the
Missouri Pacific to Denver. He and
Sidney Dillon also own the Utah Gen.
trail, which is 264 miles in length, and
which is to furnish a link Of that length
in the new route. 1t is now q pretty well
settled fact that Gould has a controlling
interest in the d. &R. G. system. Hence
he has substantially three connecting
lines-the Missouri Pacific, the d. 4 r.
G. and the Utah Central, reaching from
Missouri river to the Nevada State line.
We are reliably informed that the work
Of building westward from Frisco, Utah,
will be commenced in early Spring, a
fact already announced exclusively in
these columns. The route will be through
Patterson Pass of the Snake range. thence
almost due west to the Walker River
Pass Of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The line will pass within a few miles Of
White Pine mountain and Eureka dis.
trict. ALI talk Of a road by the Southern
Pacific managers. from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles. is regarded in we'll informed
circles as in the nature of a bluff to pre-
vent the extension Of Gould's line. But
the bluff game will not work. The Gould
road is to be built at once, whatever else
may happen in the railroad world. 1t
has been repeatedly published in the pa.
pers, as having the sanction of Gould,
that the Wall street Railroad King would
never visit the Pacific Coast until he
could travel the entire distance over a
road owned exclusively by himself. As
matters are now shaping it would appear
that he had about made up his mind to
make the trip at an early day.

THERE ARE VOTES I'm IT.

There 10 one trait 10 President Cleve-
lands character that is sure to command
a good many votes in the coming election.
II will form q factor which politicians
will do well not to pass over too lightly
in making calculations about probable
results. We allude to the Presidents
well. established igmness. Nobody rum
him or controls him in anything. He is
unequivocally and most emphaticslly the
President Of these United States. Hit
or miss, he does precisely what his own
individual judgment tells him is the cor.
rect thing to do. There is no Kitchen
Cabinet 10 this Administration. The
firmness of the President is neither stub
bornness nor pig-headedness as the Re.
publican press is wont to describe his at.
titude on many public matters. 1t is
simply the self.reliance and individuality
Of the man. His integrity is above any
question. His honesty and firmness have
been especially and conspicuously illus.
trated in many OF his official acts. What
other man in Nevada would have had the
courage to veto the Independent Pension
bilIl We are not now inquiring whether
the measure was right or wrong, but all
must agree that the exercise Of the veto
by the President was q most courageous
thing to do. Had he been more Of q
d~emagogue, which is equivalent to saying
less honest, and playing to catch the pop
ular breeze, that bill would unquestion.
ably have received his prompt approval.
As a Democrat he knew his motives were
subject to misconstruction. In q Repub.
lican the veto Of that character Of meas
ure would have cost no effort. in a Dem.
ocrat it evolved heroism Of the highest
type. We only cite this instance to illus.
trate the general character Of the
man, the dominant traits Of which are
firmness and integrity. That these will
have great weight with the masses does
not admit of a doubt. III there is one
thing more than another that the Ameri-
can people admire in a public officer it is
backbone. From the days Of Andrew
Jackson down TO the present, they have
been worshippers at the shrine of a stiff
vertebra.
