Convtoced-Not BulIdozed.

The dyspeptic old excrescence who
claims to edit the milk-and-mush pub
LEGATION down at the corner Of Catfish
alley is jealous Of our advertising pat
ronage. In a labored article this week
in his poorly printed old apology he
says hat we practice bulldozing to
bring advertising. What a liar! The
Kicker practice bulldozing! The idea
is Imaginable, and if he was worth
minding we should walk down to his
shanty and choke the assertion down
his brazen throat. There used to be
several firms here which didn't be-
lieve in advertising. We couldn't
make 'em believe in it until We went
at it and found out that they we-e
composed of gentlemen who had
skipped from the East for barnburn-
ing, horse stealing, bigamy, embezzle-
ment, etc. Then we wrestled with
'em, and they came to see that the
life OF trade was in using printers ink.
We simply convinced-not bulldozed.
The efforts OF our knock kneed contem-
porary to smirch the fame of the
Kicker will simply call forth smiles Of
pity.-The Arizona Kicker.

AN OUTSIDE OPINIos.
A GOod Word for Eureka and ats
New Prospects.


The newspapers both East and
West have given the widest possible
publicity to the new conditions in
augurated in Eureka and all predict
for the old camp a renewal Of its
former prosperity. We thank our
brethren Of the press for these favor
able notices and beg to assure them
that they are most highly appreciated.
The Mining and Scientific Press has
this to say Of the situation here:
The first thing a mining camp wants
IS mines then il wants capital to de-
velop them then comes the need Of
smelling works or mills, and then n
railroad, and after that cheaper rates
OF transportation. 1t seems that all OF
'hese things are necessary, though II
might be supposed that when the
smelter or mill period arrived, the
people could get along very well with
out the iron tracks. 1t appears to
have been generally the case, however,
that unless there were lean Of trans
portation for low-grade ores to other
reduction centers, the local works
have made such charges as to get
about all the profit there was from
most OF the mines and claims.
Eureka, Nevada, has been in this
fix for some time. The smelling COM
panies have made such a scale Of
transportation, that the camp has
been far from prosperous. Quite re-
Gently, however, as noted in the Press,
the rates OF transportation on ore to
other smelling centers have been
materially reduced, which will bring
about a lively competition on low
grade materials. Unless the smelters
are reasonable, all the ore will be
shipped elsewhere.
All this is good for the miners.
Many OF them can now work claims
which were practically valueless under
former conditions. There will be
more men at work, more money in
circulation, and a more prosperous
community. A recent sale Of the Dia-
mond and Antelope mines in the dis
trict will still further better matters.
The developments in these mines by
the new owners will renew life in the
district and bring back numbers Of
men who have left for other camps.

KNOCK RID OUT.
Tho Railroad and Its Gang Defeated
at Austin.

Lander county has scored another vic
tory over the railroad in its tax suit.
Huntington can buy a ten-million-dol-
lar shyster German Prince as q husband
for his daughter, but cannot afford to
pay taxes on the value of his property
like the other taxpayers Of the State.
By the way, most Of that ten million
was ground out Of the people Of Nevada
in exorbitant freight rates. There is
not an Assessor in the State who assesses
the Central Pacific at half its value.
There is not a mile Of the road that is
not earning q fair rate OF interest on
S25, 600 a mile, and there is not a mile of
it that the company would sell for dou-
BILE that figure. The railroad company
should be made to pay IN the full value
of their property like other people. As
a matter Of fact, all values, save hat Of
the Railroads, are strained in this State.
The Reveille is justly jubilant over old
Lander's victory. 1t compliments Judge
Henry M~ayenbaum and District Attor-
ney w. d. Jones in the highest manner
for their zeal and ability in the contest,
and under the heading of "The Com
munity Pleased" it prints in double
loaded type the following graceful trib-
ute to the uuhinching honesty Of our
District Judge;
The Reveille. in behalf Of the citizens
and taxpayers Of Lander county. takes
this occasion to thank Judge A. L. Fitz.

we have heard expressions upon every
side to the effect that they feel proud Of
him, as their District Judge, we hasten
to express il through our columns. as ii
is a compliment worthy our gentlemanly
chief iudicious officer. The community,
and Lander county in general, feel jubi-
liant that its a~ttorneyshave won, in try
ing to compel the railroad company to
pay its honest taxes, and therefore feel
asif they should shake Judge Fitzger-
aid by the hand, and say. "you have

GOLD GALORE.
wild Exeitement I'm " bttc Pine


Parties just in from Robinson Dis
trict, White Pine county, report great
excitement prevailing over the new
gold discoveries there. Nothing like
II a been known in Eastern Nevada
since the discovery Of the marvelously
rich mines Of Treasure Hill in 1868.
The people Of Ely and Ward and Tay-
lor and the surrounding country are
simply wild with the gold fever and
nearly all business is deserted in the
hight to the gold fields. Even
the county officials at Ely have aban-
doned their desks and gone to dig
glng Tor the yellow metal. The temp
tation must indeed be great when .
county officer will seize a pick and u
to work. 1t appears from latest nc
counts that gold is found everywhere
over a very considerable area OF ter
rltory-perhaps two miles long by a
mile in width. A great bluff standing
up hundreds Of feet is found to be a
mass OF gold bearing quartz worth
thirty to fifty dollars to the ton.
Wagons are backed up to this bluff,
filled in a few minutes and driven off
to the small gold mill OF McGill &
near by. The richest claim so
far as known is owned by Mr.. Watson
one OF the pioneers Of the district.
MIR. House, the butcher Of Ely also has
another good claim. The Watson
carries a streak OF decomposed
quartz about six inches in width which
goes from five thousand to six thous-
and dollars TO the ton. The rest of his
1re is worth fifty dollars per ton in
iree gold. In any part Of the rich
streak six to ten dollars to the pan can
horned out. The gravel ravines and
Hats near by are also claimed TO show
exceedingly rich placers.
The discovery OF gold in the immedi-
ate locality under notice is OF recent &C.
,urrence. McGill & Lyons had worked
a low grade gold ledge with varying
success about three miles away.
Robinson is an old district but no one
had looked specially for gold. There
be no room for doubt that gold is
now found there to an extent that
promises 10 be important-but how
important We are not prepared to say.
The prospects as far as tested would
seem to Justify the belief that the new
field is both rich and extensive. II

now be lined with pilgrims from every

of William Courtney, deceased, held at
Palisade, Eureka county, Nevada, on the
Goth and 2sth days of October, 1889,
having viewed the body, and heard the

of said William Courtney was caused by
a gunshot wound, and that said wound
was inflicted by William Curnow, in the
county of Eureka, State Of Nevada. on
or about the 18th day Of September.
1889, with the intent on the part OF the
said William Curnow to murder the de-
ceased, William Courtney. And we
further find, that Nicholas Curnow. was
accessory to the fact, and therefore we,
the jury, do accuse the said William
Curnow, of murder, in the shooting Of
the said William Courtney.

Our worthy Postmaster, NJ. b. Bart

been told by the local Republican boss
that there is no doubt but what he will
be called upon from Washington to va
cate at an early day. The scheme was
to "fx" things and have him resign.
This Mr.. Bartlett declined to do. His
commission runs for about eighteen
months and he has made a good and
efficient officer. The SENTINEL has more
to do with the mails than any other in
stitution or individual in town and 1t
has no complaint to make against our
Postofice as it is administered. But
aside from all this, it is grossly indecent
in the Republicans to ask for Mr.. Bart
lett's place before his time is out. Mr.,
Smith, his predecessor, served two years
or more, under the Cleveland admins
~tration and it is simply fair and equi.
table that Mr.. Bartlett be allowed to
serve an equal time under the Harrison
Administration. This is not Civil Ser.
