For the destruction OF property and
the throwing out Of employment of the
men, we are very sorry about the Eu-
reka Con. fire. On no other ground is
the destruction an injury to the town.
Better have no furnaces here than a
thieving trust. The Richmond has
run the Consolidated for two years.
Almost from its inception the Rich
mond Company has been robbed by
its officers and understrappers, and IN
turn they have robbed the miners and
the community. Several people well
known here have stolen themselves
rich off the Richmond Company.
Everybody knows and coppers y

sniIivau Lieks Enrain I'm seventy.
i've Rounds.

The great mill between Sullivan and
kilrain has been all the talk in En-.
reka for the past week. No event Of
the kind rel before excited so much
interest here. The Eureka people
were perhaps as Is to | in favor Of
Sullivan. The Americans and Irish
men were almost to a man in sympa-
thy with the big Bostonian, while the
Cornish and Queens own" were
equally unanimous for Kilrain. Kill
rain lost supporters by having any.
thing to do with Mitchell. All lovers
oil fair play recognize in Mitchell's
tactics a disposition TO trick and dodge
rather than come up to the scratch as
a square and manly fighter. His con-
test with Sullivan in France consisted
chiefly Of ducking and lodging and
running. IL was more of a foot race
than a fight. We don't care much for
sluggers Of high or low degree, but
when a man goes into the ring we
want TO e him face the music and
take his medicine like a man. This is
why Sullivan commands so much adj
miration. He never yet threw off a
tight on ran away from his antagonist,
and as a consequence he is a bigger
man to-day in the estimation OF the
public than he ever was. He has
fully redeemed himself from the in
jury OF 30 many debauches, and il he
will but keep from strong drink he
will occupy a fair place in the public
esteem as long as he lives. He has
now IN opportunity Of making a great
deal of money by giving exhibitions.
As things look he could break the
town Of Eureka by showing" here.
We persume il is about the same all
over There was but little money bet
in this place or the fight. There was
a good deal Of Sullivan money but
Kilrain's supporters we're not dis
posed TO back their man. The SEN
%TINEL's extra giving the result OF the
battle was eagerly devoured, as were
also the papers bringing the full de-
tails. OF the 70 rounds fought, but
few Of them were at all spirited.
Kilrain played the Mitchell dodge Of
feinting and then running away. But
kilrain made a better showing than
Mite lell did with Sullivan. The
fight lasted two hours and Is minutes.
Kilrain was fairly and h~onorably de
ieated and he and his party so ac-
knowledged. He got the first blood
and knocked Sullivan down but onc
in the contest. Sullivan foored him
a great number Of times. At the
finish, Kilrain had the appearance of
having been badly punished. He
cried like a child. Sullivan had a
small cut under the eye and a scratch
on the ear. Otherwise he was as good
as new. And so ended the greatest
pugilistic encounter in many years.
sullivan is now the champion of the
world, and there is no living mar able
to dispute his claim to that distinction
If it be a distinction.

John Grey, an old time Eureka

yesterday from California.
Robert Rawling, an old time Ruby
Hill man, and later of Elko, has just
arrived in Butte, with the expecta-

Eureka, New, has recently lost, and
Butte gained. a citizen in the person
of James Killhan. "Jim" thinks
that Butte is a good enough place for
him to pitch his tent.

Little Chief on East Park near Main,

Hugh Muldoon, who grew up with
Nevada and nearly went down with it,
has arrived in Butte and will camp
here. Mr.. Muldoon is one OF the live,
go-ahead young men, for whom there
is always room in a western country.
The only thing to be said against him
is, that for several terms he was a
member of the Nevada Legislature.

The west Point Cadetship.

Says the Silver State: Ne
vada will not be represented
at the West Point Academy
this year. Congressman Wood
burns last nominee for the cadetship
had no better success than two or
three preceding ones. He failed to
pass the examination required by the
regulations, and was not accepted.
This furnishes further proof, if more
was required, of the propriety, in fact
the necessity, of following the example
set by Geo. w. Cassidy, when Rep
re~sentative from Nevada, in selecting
a candidate for the West Point cadet
ship. Instead OF arbitrarily naming
the son of some political henchman for
the place Mr.. Cassidy held a compe-
tive examination, open to all the
youth of the State OF the requisite age.
and gave his certificate OF appoint
ment to the one who proved himself
best entitled to it. 1t is true that the
examination cost Mr.. Cassidy about
$3.50, but that is less than it has cost
each of the three or four young men
selected by Mr.. Woodburn, as they
had to pay their own expenses to
West Point and return.
1t is to be hoped that our Congress.
man, Mr.. Bartine, will profit by the
experience of his predecessors, and
like Mr.. Cassidy, give every young
man in the State the privilege of COM
peting for a prize which will insure
the victor opportunity to acquire a
good education and an honorable pro-
fession.

THE DAWN OF DAY.
A New Rate for the transportation
of Ores Probable.

Superintendent Gilman informs us
that a new rate for the transpc ration
Of ores over the +. & 7. railroad is in
contemplation and will most proba-
bly, be adopted at an early day. 1t
is to be based on the grade Of the ores
shipped. The exact figures have not
been determined upon, but the new
schedule is likely to run something
like this: On exceedingly high grade
ores the present price OF s. per ton
on ores running in the neighborhood
Of 800 per ton, 81 per ton on ores OF
the value Of $50 per ton, 50 per ton,
and on ores working say $50 per ton,
81 per ton-or the absolute cost of
handling them. OF course these fig
ures NAV be varied a little, but the
above illustrates the idea fairly well.
The concession is an important n
and is about the best move that has
been inaugurated for this camp in its
history. We are assured Of corre-
spending reductions by the big roads
on ores TO Salt Lake. The smelling
trust ltIt HAS Iuliitu MI DhoAilCSs. ~
has starved the miners out and the
little railroad as well. The commu-
nifty is TO be congratulated on the fact
that our railroad has determined to
make this new departure. 1t is going
to make a strong effort to build up a
business in spite OF the trust. That it
will succeed we have not the slightest
doubt. There are millions OF tons OF
ore in this district that will be mined
and shipped under the new order Of
things. It is a pity that this liberal
policy had not been inaugurated two
wears ago before so many good miners
were driven out OF the camp by the
outrageous combination of our local
smelters. But the change is better
now than never. II is to be hoped
that the miners OF the district will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
get their pres to a decent market at
decent races.

snELrINe WORKS BURNED.
The Eureka Consolidated Com
pRny's plant destroyed By Fire.


The large smelling works Of the Eu.
reka Consolidated Mining Company
were destroyed by fire last Sunday
morning. The fire, which was acct
dental, originated between the boiler
and drying rooms. 1t was prompt
ly discovered, but got completely be-
yond control in a few seconds and j IN
thirty minutes the whole works with
the exception Of the refinery had been
consumed. Ore houses, outbuildings,
the ~trestlework and a quantity Of
charcoal went with the rest.
The superintendent office and resi-
dence we're saved. Three fiat cars be-
longing 10 the Eureka & Palisade rail-
road, standing on the trestlework with
supplies, were destroyed. The boilers
and two OF the stacks of the smelling
works are thought to be but little in
jured.
The total damage is variously esti-
mated at from $50, 900 to $75, 900. The
insurance, which is with San Fran
cisco agencies, is believed here to be
about $4,000.
1t is thought that the works can be
very nearly restored with this sum,
but whether the company will rebuild
is a matter to be determined by the
Board of Directors in San Francisco.
1t is thought they will Immediately
begin the erection OF 70 works.
There is a quantity Of about 800
tons Of good ore at the works awaiting
reduction. One hundred men are
thrown out of employment by the fire.
A good many people are saying that
the fire might have been extinguished
right at the start if there had been
cool heads about. Everybody got ex-
cited and the hose kinked and could
not be got in position until too late to
be Of any avail. Also it is said that
the large gango Of i" Modocs" employed
we're greatly in the way and impeded
matters by running I'VE each other.

Fries is not certain what will be done

best opinion is that the company must
rebuild. There is no other way out OF
the present difficulties. The company

According to the Chronicle the feeI-

way. When the bulletin was posted
announcing that Sullivan had won in
" rounds, the news was received
with a rousing cheer; but when, a few
minutes later, a dispatch from Balti-
more stated that Kilrain had won, not
a shout was heard, which plainly IN
dicated that popular feeling here was
largely in favor of the Boston cham
pion, whose victory is confirmed in
later dispatches. This victory makes

Ii comes from a point 800 feet below

Keen in the Soup.
The SENTINEL learns on good au-
thority that John Shaw who used to
control the Eureka Consolidated mine
in the palmy days of that property is
flat broke in New York. He made a
big fortune in Eureka, and was at one
time estimated to be worth from three
to five millions. Like Jim Keen and
the rest, he imagined that San Fran.
cisco was too small a field for the ex-
ercise OF his great financial ability,
and he driited to Gotham on the same
anti-sand lot wave that carried ID. O..
Mills and the other millionaires from
the Pacific Coast. Shaw sailed into
railroad speculation, maintained a
fashionable establishment on Fifth
Avenue, kept a stable OF fast horses,
and for a number years did his level
best to be considered one of the " four
hundred" But he had himself over
rated as a Spectator in railroad
securities. Jay Gould laid for him
and took him into camp on a deal in
Hooking Valley railroad stock. The
line residence, and fast horses went to
the winds, and at latest accounts the
great financier and operator was on
his uppers on Wall street-gone to join
Jim Keen another illustration that it
won't do to fool with the buzz-saw.
But Shaw may pull himself together
again and manage to keep the wolf
from the door. He has a good trade.
