Australian Mound Builders.

In Australia and the neighboring ISL
Ind are seen many large mounds of
earth, which were formerly supposed to
be the tombs of departed natives. These
remarkable Misunderstanding as much as
fifteen feet in perpendicular height and
sixty feet in circumference at the base
are not the work of man, however, but
are now known to be the incubators built
by the jungle fowl and other species of
the small family of Megapodidae, or great
footed birds. Each of these great piles
consists of fallen leaves, grasses, ETC.,
which the birds deposit in place by
throwing backward with one foot. Though
the mounds are usually in dense shade,
the decaytng vegetable matter has been
found to raise the temperature at the CEN
ter as high as 90 degs. The eggs are
carefully placed with the larger nj up,
about twelve inches apart, and are COW.

wonderful Display.

CAS- Ma an ! strolled down Main
street the other afternoon, we were
astonished at the wonderful display OF
holiday goods presented at the old
and reliable dry goods store Of Morris
& Levy" This is what III reporter
overheard a young Miss Of ten Sum-
mers say as we passed a cosy looking
residence on Spring street, and he
Immediately set out for the o. M r. g.,
where, true enough, such a display Of
holiday goods were set out as would
be tempting to any lady, young or old
Such a variety OF ladies silk
handkerchiefs, plain and embroidered,
silk muffiers, a magnificent assoit,
ment OF fans, ladies' kid gloves and
such pretty patterns Of gents neck
wear as never were before seen
| Then there were lots OF new
things in the regular lines OF ladies
dress goods, wraps, etc., which 1t II
| easier for ladies to understand by ex'
aiming than for q gentleman to ex
plain and describe. One of the grea
| attractions OF the season Is a mag
| nificent silk dress to be rallied for a
Morris & LEWIS store, and a ticket 10
il will be given to customers 10
every dollar spent in purchasing othe
goods. We would like to win tina
dress. Read their new advertisement

Murderer Hanged.

John H. Meyer, one Of three men con.
victed Of the murder Of John Lowell,
In FL Dorado county, in the month Of
March last, was hanged at Plscerville,
CAL, on Friday. The fear Of death com
pletely unnerved the murderer. who had
to be carried bodily to the scsffold by
four men. and supported by them while
the rope was adjusted about his neck.
When told that he could make such re-
marks as be desired he could ouly say,
"Oh, my poor wifei" His neck was
broken by the fall through the trap, and
in fourteen minutes the physicians pres
emit announced that life was extinct.
Olsen and Drager. who were convicted
with Myer for the same crime, were MOI
hanged, as their attorneys took an sp'
peal to tho Supreme Court for a new
trial, as Meyer made . confession that lac
alone killed Lowell, and the others after
ward helped him TO secrete the body, and
joined with him in stealing Loweli'i
horses.

The diamond Tunnel.

The contractor in the new Diamond
tunnel has completed the grading for
the blacksmith shop, and two days
ago was about entering the mountain
with the face OF the tunnel proper.
He has received about all of his Win
ter supplies, and in a few more days
will be under cover. He has a crew
of six OF the best miners to be found
in the district and will push the work
day and night until it is completed. A
blast in the face Of the tunnel on
Thursday disclosed q two-inch stringer
Of fair looking galena ore. This is not
important except as an indication that
the limestone belt at hat point is
strongly m~ineralized all the way
down 10 the shale contact. The tun-
mel starts in on the upper edge of the
shale. a little Of it showing on the
lower side OF the cut of the tunnel. 1t
is the opinion OF judges that the new
tunnel is quite apt to cut important
feeders to the main ore body within Q
distance OF $50 feet. The small
stringer met within the face on Thurs
day last adds strength to this opinion.
The Diamond is all right and seems
certain to pan out to the satisfaction
of everybody concerned.

Les mere He No n~enkeyiug with
Eureka County.

a year or more ago it was mooted in
THIS section that there was 10 be a
general consolidation of counties by
the coming Legislature. The scheme
was devised by the strikers and lobby
lists Of the Central Pacific railroad,
and was intended for the benefit OF
that corporation by reducing the num-
Der Of county governments to be
maintained and supported. Eureka
county was to be tackled on to Elko
county. The scheme was moving
along nicely until an ominous voice
was heard from the property owners
and taxpayers OF this county and
particularly of the town OF Eureka.
The tactics Of the consolidationists
we're changed. They discovered that
they could not win in an open fight,
and so they have since been acting
under cover The county conyen-
tons OF both parties here resolved in
favor OF maintaining the territorial in
tegrity OF Eureka county, and in
structed and pledged their nominees
for the Legislature to oppose the dis
memberment of the county. These
pledges We presume are quite likely to
be kept by the gentlemen elected, but
we hear it now whispered that the
railroad power is 10 carry the cas-
over the heads OF the immediate rep
resentatives Of the people most con-
cerned. This would be a hiQh-handed
proceeding, but designing schemers, it
should be remembered, are capable of
high-handed things, We have reason
to warn the property owners Of this
county that the consolidation project
is not dead yet. We also improve the
opportunity to inform members Of the
Legislature from the other counties Of
the State that the consummation Of
such an undertaking would be in OPP
position 10 the unanimous voice OF the
people Of this county irrespective Of
politice or partisan affiliations. No
person here, outside OF the corporate
interest mentioned wants any
interference with our local government.
1t will stand the people in hand to DO
on the alert all through the coming
session, lest some undue advantage be
taken in the premises. There is
enough basis in the whispers and ru-
mors floating through the air to call
for this note OF warning on the part OF
the SENTINEL. In the name Of a
united people we say TO the Legislature
hands of of Eureka county.

Thanksgiving day passed off very

But most Of that will find its way out

The Ely Gold Mining and Milling
Company shut down both mine and

Complaints are made Of several
cases of petty larceny in and about
Riepe's hotel. One article was a seal

rested on suspicion OF the theft, but as
there seems to be no good evidence
against the man, his name is not given
for the present.
