Mr.. A. Skillman, OF this paper, on
his return trip from Phoebe two weeks
ago, met with an accident by which
his right shoulder was dislocated.
There had been aheavy shower, max
ing the ground wet, and in attempting
to water the team he slipped and fell
on the rim OF the bucket in a way TO
produce the above result. 1t was q
most unexpected accident, and one
that would not occur once in a thou
sand times under similar circumstan-
ces. 1t was five days before he could
reach home for medical attendance,
during which time his shoulder be-
came greatly swollen and was excru-
ciatingly painful. Reaching home he
placed himself under the care Of DR..
Williams, and that gentleman, a few
days later, succeeded in reducing the
dislocation, which was another painful
operation. Mr.. Skillman is now on
the road to recovery and able to leave
his room, through he will not get the
Use Of his injured arm for some
weeks.

The Comptroller Of the Currency has
appointed Wn. H. Chambtrlain, Of San
Francisco, Examiner Of National Banks.

is sceepted. TO take effect Oct. l.. The
Nevada delegation recommended DIR. q.
II. Thoms, Of Reno. for the position.
but California and Maine seem TO gobble

The above is from the Reno Journal,
and is the substance Of . Washington
dispatch appearing in most Of the Coast
papers. Mr.. Cassidy had held the office
for four years on July y last. though
there is no tenure to the place. The sp-
pointment is in the gift Of the Comp
trOller of the Currency with the concur-
renee Of the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The Office involves q most deli
cate and important trust and is
one Of the most difficult to fill in the
public service. 1t is by no means a sine.

position are exceedingly arduous and II.
acting. requiring q sound discretion,
strict integrity and more than average
ability. Mr.. Cassidy discharged the
duties 6evolving upon him without criti.
cism from the Department during his en-.
tire term. 1t is to be regretted that =
Nevada man did not succeed him, as the
Office is one Of the best paid Of all the
Federal offices in the west. The Exam.
iuer receives his pay in fees when the
work is done and has no regular salary.
The work has been done for 1889 and
the office Is Of no value to any one until
1890. Mr.. Cassidy is under orders to
visit and examine two or three new
banks, lately organized, during the pres.
emit month. After that there will perhaps
be nothing to do until the new Examiner
begins his annual round in January,
1890. OF the political aspect Of the sit.

this may be said. The President did
not succeed in finding a gentleman who
suited him for Comptroller Of the Cur
rency until the latter part of May. Then
il was that he named z. S. Lacey oil
Michigan, and Mr.. Lacey required sons
time to arrange his private business In
Michigan before entering upon the active
administration Of the Office. In the
meantime, Mr.. Abrams. 9 Democrat,
continued at the head of the bureau,
and is still employed as Deputy Comp
t%roller. or was, quite recently.
The Reno Journal manifests some
spite in its fling abou. Nevada being ig-
nored by the Administration in the mat.
ter Of appointments, and as good a'
charges that Senators Stewart and Jones
are without influence at Washington.
We beg leave to take issue with the
Journal and state emphatically that this
is not true. 1t has not been three
months since we received a sack Of seed

There is a rumor saoat in town OF an
important strike in the Eureka Con.
mine. Il is said TO be on the sOO-foot
level Of the X X ground. We have no
means Of verifying the rumor. Some OF
the officers Of the allied forces OF the
combine are not especially cordial with
the SENTINEL since it assailed the smelt-
ing trust here. 1t is the old, old story.
When you try to help q man out OF the
mud onto decent firm ground he is almost
certain TO be unAppreciative. We are
always sorry when our efforts are not sp-
preciated, because we hate ingrstitude,
that basest Of all the passions Of the
human heart. Bat, seriously, the
trust can 90 where overcoats are not
needed. So return to the strike: We
have an idea that il is likely to be Q good
one AL Burt, the foreman Of the mine,
has always had great faith in that por-
ton Of the ~compsny's ground. Burt 10
. 6rst-elass miner, and IL given his own
way about prospecting, and is allowed
TO push forward this character OF work
in the mine, which has not been at
tempted for two years. brighter days for
the ouce famous bullion producer are
quite apt to follow. Good miners be-
lieve that there is much virgin ground in
parts Of the Eureka Con. which should
be prospected. Burt, the foreman, holds
10 the same view. All sensible men
know that ore cannot be found without
running drifts. Burt has a theory that .
drift started at the water level and ex.
tended out through certain UNEMPLOYED
portions Of the X X would be productive
OF good results. He should be allowed TO
run il and as many more as he desires.
In years past we have many times seen
the Eureka Con. looking as though II was
completely exhausted At all points and q
month later worlds Of good ore In every
part. This coming and going OF ore de.
posits is q Characteristic Of our limestone
formation. The new strike is encourag.
ing. and we shall not be at all surprised
IL the old mine is as good as new In a
brief period. Foreman Burt will soon
see what there may be in the hidden re-
cesses, II not hampered.

CHEAP DIRE RATES.
An Important Move for Our Dis
frtef.

tEHth
Superintendent Gilman, Of the E. &
p. X. R., has been below for two
weeks. He went down to secure a
cheap rate for the transportation OF
Eureka ores to Salt Lake il possible.
We learn that he has succeeded. The
new rate is something in the line Of
the schedule given in the SENTINEL
some weeks ago. 1t contemplates a
sort Of sliding scale according to the
grade OF the ore. Thirty-dollar ore
and under is to be delivered in Salt
Lake for seven dollars per ton. Be-
tween thirty and fifty a little higher
rate will be charged. Above fifty the
present rate is to prevail. This is a
very important move for Eureka and
means, we believe, the beginning of q
new era Of prosperity in our district.
We are assured that Salt Lake smelt-
ing men will construct sampling works
here within the next thirty days. 1t
has not been possible TO get the exact
figures OF the new rates for this issue
of the SENTINEL. But it is approx
mately on the basis we have mem
toned. Now let prospectors go to
work. The trust no longer owns the
country.

Il is this or dismemberment, or deserv-

The Mail aud Express. which is one Of
the leading Republican organs Of New
York. quotes the SESTISKL's article en-.
tire. and concludes a lengthy editorial
comment on il in these words:
The fears of the Mormon organ are
clearly betrayed by the spitefulness Of

TO move for an early investigation, as 10

A Big Water suit.

The SENTINEL learns that a suit is
in course OF preparation which will
involve the right of whole of the water
OF the Humboldt river. 1t appear
that when a suit is commenced for the
water OF any particular stream that
the relative rights of all parties inter-
ested must be determined from one
end Of the stream to the other. The
Humboldt river is nearly 800 miles in
length. How many people claim
water rights along it can not be
stated, though there must necessarily
be a great many. When the ball opens
for the waters of the Humboldt the
fur will fly along its banks. The
Humboldt is Nevada's largest and
longest stream, barring the Colorado
river, which is only half ours.

SINGULAR REFERENCE.
An Incident Of Judge Beatty and
Dave Maggie in White Pine.

Dave Maggie in white Pine.
Dave Nagle, who assassinated Judge
Terry, in a late interview referred to
Judge Beatty, Chief Justice Of Cali
~fornia, As a gentleman who would
-vouch for his (Nagle's) good and peace
able character. This is a somewhat
singular reference to old Nevadans
familiar with the relation once exist
ing between Beatty and Nagle. The
incident we are about to relate took
place in the early days OF White Pine,
and while Beatty was District Judge
there. Nagle was in some way inter-
ested in q mining suit then on trial, or
about to be tried, in Beatty's Court.
Beatty did not act officially to Nagle's
liking, whereupon the latter called the
former in open court "a damned old
baldheaded s-of-a-b." Beatty OF
course asserted the dignity OF his
court by promptly imposing a sen-
tence OF 80 days in the county Jail and
a fine OF $3.50. When Nagle got out
he repeated the remark to the Judge
on the puplic streets OF Hamilton in
the presence Of two Deputy Sheriffs,
neither oil whom made any attempt to
protect the Court" Beatty not on
sidering himself an object Of contempt
on the street allowed the matter to
drop. 1t is quite evident that Maggie
did not have as much respect in for
mer times for the dignity OF Courts O
when he hired out to murder poor old
Dave Terry for merely showing,
through an uncomfortable impulse,
his supreme contempt for Judge
Field off the bench.

is no such equality as that in this or any
other country. No two men are exactly

there may be, and should be, universal

Field and Maggie at Lathrop were no bet

all other people. To attempt to throw

A LIrTLE ~UNGRACIOUs.

The SENTINEL has always stood by
General Powning, Of Reno, in all Of his
hopes and ambitions. 1t reluctantly
takes issue with him ow-mo in sor-
row than in anger. II has come to the
knowledge of this journal that General
Powning is after the official scalp Of his
successor U. s. Surveyor General G. w.
Irish. and Is circulating a petition among
the faithful praying for his removal.
We submit that this 10 not quite the
thing in high.mindsd up,and-up politics.
The record will show that General Pown.
ing managed to hold on TO the Surveyor
Generalship nearly half through the
Cleveland Administration. He has
never been quite reconciled to the fact
that President Cleveland conceived il to
be in the interest Of good government to
put him out ct all. But all of the cir
cumstances considered, we regard it as
Distinctly ungracious in General Powning
to jump oE General Irish In this n
ssemly way, and before six months Of the
Harrison Administration has run. W.
were strongly opposed to the bestowal of
the place on General Irish originally;
not that we had any personal feeling
him. but because he belonged to
another sovereign State. But now that
he IL legally installed and Is making a
good officer, it is only decent that he
'hould be permitted to remain unmo-
Isssed for the full term which the law
provides: II is particularly indecent in
General Powning TO try 10 bounce him.

REPUBLICAN, HOSTILITY To
uAnuTsAN.


Hon. c. c. Goodwin. Of the Salt Lake
Tribune, has started the war.whoop in
the west against the Harrison Admins
tratiou. He belabors both the President
and his Secretary Of the Treasury and
charges that they are engaged "in dig
ging the grave Of the Republican party.
We are sorry about this, bat really can
see no way in our power to avert II.
Judge Goodwin seems 10 be angry be-
cause the Administration has set it's face
90 strongly against silver. We wonder
how any man Of sense could have ex'
pected anything else. President Harri-
son while Senator was always the deter
mined foe Of silver. He never gave q
silver vote or uttered . silver sentiment
in his life. His record was known to all
the world before the election But he Is
no worse than nine.tenths Of his party
in the East on this subject. The Repub-
licsu party struck down silver in 1873
and has steadily opposed its rehabilita-
ton ever since. IL has never furnished
ten men in the Senate 10 vote for any
silver measure. There viii be "a mem
bers Of the United States Senate next
Winter, IL all the new States get in, OF
which . majority Of six or eight will
most likely be Republican. We will
wager any Republican editor in Nevada
or Utah the price Of . wool hat that
no silver bill or resolution, or any meas
ure whatsoever favorable TO silver that
may be proposed in Congress next Win.
ter commands the support of sixteen
Republican Senators including those from
the new States. We will go further and
double the bet that any silver measure
getting into John Sherman's Finance
Committee never sees the light OF day
thereafter. A somewhat widely quoted
Republican Senator from this Coast ad.
mitted as much to rs in . conversation
had within . month. And still Nevada
and Colorado and all the silver region
will vote to send Republicans to the
House and Senate, thus giving that
party the numerical strength TO organize
both Houses and construct the commit.
tees on the line Of avowed and well es.
tablished hostility TO our dominant in.
terest. We had better have wooden
men than Republicans to represent us in
either House at Washington. To send
Republicans there is simply to copper
fasten the opposition. 1t is equivalent
to kissing the hand that smites US. A
man in Nevada or Colorado or Montana
or any Of the western country is an ass
to vote for any Republican candidate for
either House Of Congress. II the voters
Of the ilver~.producing States had as
much sense as chipmunks they could
settle the whole silver question at q single
election. II is only necessary to place
the Democratic party in complete pos.
session of every branch Of the Govern.
ment to secure the full restoration Of
the white metal. II will never be &C.
complished other wise. Every vote given
TO send Republicans to represent MS iu
the halls Of Congress at Washington 10 q
vote against silver. The fool.killer has
. big job ahead Of him before silver Ia
benefited by legislation.

Lufkin formerly lived in Nevada and

hardest type. He had killed or
wounded several men at different
times before meeting his death. He
died like most men of his class, with

the merits of the trouble between
Lufkin and Kennedy, but it is more

There seems to be an effort making
in good faith to extend the Utah Cen

through toward the Pacific Coast. 1t
is believed that it is headed for the
coast in the vicinity Of Los Angeles.
The surveyors were in the. vicinity of
Phoebe at latest accounts and locating
the line at the rate OF five or six miles
a day. The SENTINEL also learns that
many tons of scrapers and wheelbar-
rows and carts and other tools have
recently been landed on the Colorado

that the road is soon to be built. 1t is
thought the line will pass within 40

INDORsED.

The SENTINRL's proposition to annex
Utah to Nevada as . means Of settling
the Mormon question, ct the same
time giving to us resources and popula.
ton sufficient to justify the maintenance
of . State government. has attracted wide
attention from the press Of the East.
Most Of the great leading journals Of
both parties heartily indorss the sugges.
ton. OF course we expected opposition
from the Church organs Of Utah, and IL
came in most spitsful language. The
ADLER Of the Nevada papers ooncurrsd in
the SRSrrNEL's proposition while the
narrow wsaklings very generally took
the other side. We may say with m
phssis. onos for ell, that we have no
other feeling ON this subject than . de-
sire for the bettsrmsnt Of the condition
Of our State and people. Some Of the
alleged arguments advanced by our 10.
cal opponents are too contemplate TO
deserve mention. We cannot dignity
them with notice, save 10 this general
way. 1t is only the contracted man or
knsvs who attributes improper motives
where high and honorable debate should
rule. While As . matter Of policy it
might be well to endsavor to keep con-
csaled the real condition Of our dsclin-s
ing State, w are not going to lie about
ii to please anybody. Fortunately we
do not belong to that class Of nincomA
poops who are governed by "policy."
We take pleasure in having IN opinion
and expressing il on every conceivable
subject that may arise. And we hope to
live in Nevada many years to tell the
truth and expose the shsms and frauds,
official. political and otherwise, Of which
this poor little State Is 90 naussatingly
prolific and has been 90 long the victim.
Now what are the facts about the de-
crease Of our population. We need only
give the official vote for . succession of
years in support Of the truth Of our po-
sition. In 1876 We pollsd 1891 votes;
in 1880 we fell to Is, 343 and in 1884 to

cline Of more than 2S, 900 in our popula-
tion in Is years. In former years the
census has attributed 10 us . population
of $1,000 in round numbers. We be-
a total population to-day TO be
less than 80. 900 all told. We also know
that u material interests have declined
