Found Dead In a Tunnel

The Eureka Sentinel of last Satur-
day says: George s. Yerrick was
found dead yesterday week by Owen
Rice, John Foley and Joe Maines,
living in a tunnel in Silyerado in this
county. Ten or twelve tons of waste
rock had caved on him in the tunnel
where he was working alone. 1t is
thought he was dead nearly three
weeks before the body was discovered.
Mr.. Yerriek was an old timer, and n
good, honest man.

yearly in the mining industry is cnor-

at Butte $4,000 feet of timber are put
under the ground daily, or at the rate
of 30,000,000 feet year. At the

ROBINSON DISTRICT.
A Fine Showing for the Investment
of Capital.

The Joanna bonanza continues tC
loom up bigger ard richer with ever,
days work that is done upon it
The bad weather of tie past two weeks
made it necessary To have the small
working force transferred from the
the surface to underground, VI there the
work being done is daily exposing
higher grade ore without limit as
to extent. The roads too have been
bad aud the hauling of ore 10 the
mill has been impeded. Were il not
for the shadow of cloud as to title
resting over the Joanna. the property
would no doubt ere this have changed
hands for the snug sum of quarter
of million dollars.
But the intent of this article is not
to exaIt the merits of the Joanna, il
shows for itself. What we wish to do
Is to call the attention of capitalists
and mining men to the many other
promising mining claims in this Dis
trict. some of which are adjacent to,
and look far more promising than did
the Joanna six months ago.
The owners of many of these claims
are poor men who are hampered in
developing their claims for the want
of means, but who would gladly give
men of money an interest in their
mines for a working capital, or sell
out to them at 4 reasonable price.
We met man the other day-an
old pioneer Of the camp--who said
I" have a good mine; lots of good
ore in sight; can you tell me Of any
one who would put UP few thous-
and dollars TO build little mill so
that | can work it7Iw:iv i've such
party fair interest in my mine
There are dozen or more claim
owners in Robinson District-who can
offer like inducements TO capitalists as
the one above referred to-but they
must abide their time. The time
will come, aud the properties that
capitalists could now invest in for a
few thousand dollars will go up into
the hundreds Of thousands.
Winter has now set in in earnest
and the indications are that it will he

ing for mining investments do not

and if they did. it would he hard to

cred over with several feet Of snow.
So we must wait until the Spring of
1890. when, we have no hesitation in
predicting that Robinson Mining Dis
trict will boom on merit In the
meantime The Joanna, II not tied up
in a lawsuit, will spread the reputa-
ton of the District far and wide, aud
the owners of good mining properties
will not have to 90 begging for capl-

The Genoa Courier says: Hereafter
we propose to charge moro for keep

revolution would ensue in short order.
1t is what is kept out of paper, not
what goes in, that keeps the world

121 lines Of rain were recorded at the
Fort on Thursday morning, and 81 this

The weather has been intensely hot
during the week and, as a consequence
perhaps, has also been rainy. Besides TIL
showers of which we have written b Glow

day afternoon, amounting to So lines, and
on Thursday night there was much thunder
and lightning abOu t 6 or 7 miles to the

would seem as if the usual May rains had
set in earlier this year, IL promising fact
for the crop of 1890, but a drawback
to the reaping and grinding now in pro-
gresS. In the mean time sugar prices cOn-
tinue to rise, the last price from London
being 17j9 and from New York 5 l5-16th.
In the local market we hear of offers of
of $3.50 aud over mad early i'll the
week; but planters generally seem dis
posed to wait a little, h0pin & to do
still better. The condition OF things Is
just now a little exciting. In a st. Kits
paper we read of a planter who had con.
tracted to sell his whole crop at $3.50,
and the chronicler says he probably regrets
it now, even if while making the bargain
he thought on the proverb ga bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush" A very
good proverb it is no doubt, but very much

Also the gay clothes she bought and

He Begins Life as a Historian and

Everybody is familiar with the
name of the great Wall street
tinancier, Jas Gould, and almost
every Intelligent man can tell you
something of his history. Very
few, however, are acquainted with the
fact that one of his early adventures
in business was in the role of an au-
thor. When young man he did sur

arch of all the railroads he chose TO
survey. In his capacity as surveyor
and geographer he ran a little ltet
barrow through Delaware county, n.
Y, where he was born, and made "a
map of the same. He did his work
well, and with the pluck aud energy
with which he does everything;
and, to accompany il, he wrote and
published book upon the county.
The book was entitled History of
Delaware County and Border Wars of
New York; Containing a sketch of the
Early Settlements Of the County and n
History of the Late Anti-Rent Difficult
ties in Delaware, with Other Historical
and Miscellaneous Matters, Never Be-
fore Published"
This considerable octave volume was
published over thirty years ago in his
native town-Roxbury-an "Keeny
and George" were the publishers. 1t
was not a good business venture.
There was abundant matter in the
book, and, as county histories go, it
was well handled in every respect, and
not badly written. But it found few
purchasers, and Mr.. Gould's partner in
the enterprise-who was probably the
financial hacker of it-scored a con-
siderable loss.
