a WONDERFUL INVENTION.
A Truckee Man Who beats SCOTS
DOuatersWfyeI.

A. w. Chellis, Superintendent OF
Richardson's box factory at Truckee.
has invented a machine which indi-
Gates correctly the locality of gold or
silver mines and buried treasure. The
Republican, which seems to have faith
in the machine, says Of it:
at is an oval or egg-shaped ball about
the size of q pallets egg. 1t is hollow,
and is filed with seven chemicals whose
nature and combinations is q secret.
When allowed to swing by a silken cord,
it indicates by its movements where the
money or hidden ore is located. In the
presence Of witnesses Mr.. Chellis has
tested his invention both with coin, gold
and silver ore. Ia Q room or hall any
person can secrete asum or different sums
OF money, and Mr.. Chellis by means Of
the ball can find each sum secreted, the
larger quantities being the first to at
tract the ball. 1t works equally well
with gold and silver ore. 1t will cor
rectly locate a mine at q distance of half
a mile. 1t will work equally well
through air, water, earth or rock. Mr..
Chellis has been Superintendent of Rich
ardson Bros. Box Factory for two years,
but now thinks be has invented some
thing which will pay better than his po-
sition as Superintendent. There are
large sums Of money buried in various
portions Of the country, which Chellis
thinks he can 6nd."

eort.
Last Friday night, after two or thre,
weeks illness, William Tonkir
breathed his last. He had contract
ed a cold, which resulted in pneu.
monia. From that he had recovered
but his strength had left him. He
was subjected to several sinking spells
and in one of these he remarked
This is the last" The heart had
failed in its functions; he gasped,
and in another moment the gentle
spirit of a loving husband and father
had passed away. No words can de-
scribe the grief Of the devoted wife
and children, a little son and daugh-
ter, for the loss OF their best loved one,
nor of the brothers who venerated
him. A poor old mother, in her ma
tive land, whom he idolized, has yet to
learn the sad news. Friends un-
numbered mourn his loss. He was all
that a kind and affectionate husband,
son, father and brother should be, and
his place can ne'er be filed on earth.
Kind and considerate towards and
generous in his opinions of others,
manly and unassuming in disposition,
he made warm friends wherever he
was known. In all that the words
mean, he was Of the best of men.
On Monday last, the corpse, enclosed
in a casket, was borne to the railroad
depot, and accompanied by his
brother Walter and w. S. Beard, was
conveyed to Gold Hill, in this State, to
be laid TO rest beside two OF his little
children who had preceded him to

bourn
No traveller returns"
The deceased was a native Of Bre-
age, Cornwall, England, and aged 43
years and two months. He had re-
sided on the Comstock for eighteen
years, fourteen Of which he had worked
as a miner in the Crown Point mine,
which, alone, is a high tribute to his
memory. He was a member Of Silver
Star Lodge No. 8, +. & A. NJ, Wilder
Lodge No. l, |. o. o. +. and Harmony
Lodge No. 10, X. OF p. all of Gold
Hill. He held an endowment policy
for 1000. He had resided in Eureka
with his family for about three years.
The funeral cortege which escorted
the body to the railroad depot in Eu-
reka was composed of the family and
friends of the deceased and the several
societies Of which he was a member.
Delegations from his lodges awaited
the arrival OF the body at Gold Hill,
where the funeral took place at 3
o'clock last Tuesday afternoon under
the auspices of Silver State Lodge No.

Owing to the scarcity Of potatoes In
California several hundred carloads
have been shipped from the East dur
ing the past two or three weeks, and
several hundred carloads more are ex-
pected to arrive within the next fort
night. The shipments have been SO
heavy that they have come in bulk
like grain. Nevada raises the finest
potatoes in the world, and there is no
reason why these heavy shipments
which are arriving in the Golden
State should not come from Nevada.

The Jewish Passover commenced
last evening. The festival is observed
by the Hebrews in feasting and re-
joicing, and is a commemoration Of the
deliverance of the children Of Israel
from the Egyptians after a period
Of forty years OF bondage. None but
unleavened bread is permitted to be
eaten during the eight days OF the
Passover, but the choicest Of all eat
ables, which are not forbidden under
the sanitary laws laid down in the
scripture, are partaken Of during that
period. The orthodox Jews celebrate
the first two evenings at the festive
board reciting a sacred ritual, the
Haggada, and in singing traditional
songs. The bone the paschal lamb
and bitter herbs are used as symbol
cal tokens of the hardships endured
while in bondage, and wine is drank
in sanctifcation. The order Of pray
ers and song to be recited on these two
evenings have received many addi-
tons, and even medieval German
songs have crept in, as supposed to
contain a symbolical reference to the
ultimate fate OF Israel.

BUTTE CITY.
Cosby Letter from n Former Rest
dent of Eureka.

The SENTINEL has received a letter
from Dan Brown, announcing his ar
rival at Butte, Montana, after a very
pleasant trip. He says hal his
brother, Martin Brown, has got well
started and is doing a very good bust
ness. He has the best, in fact, the
only first class restaurant in Butte
City. 1t is situated at A East Park
street, and is known as the Hoffman
House Restaurant. Dan says Butte is
the best mining town he was ever in.
II is completely surrounded with good
mines and new ones are being struck
right along. Times are quiet there at
present, and will be so until the Ana
conda and st. Lawrence mines resume
operations. The Blue Bird mine and
mill are closed down at present, on ac-
count OF q lawsuit. The Blue Bird is
one OF the biggest mines in that part of
the country. There are a number OF
idle men in Butte just now, but lively
times are predicted for the Summer,
when the Anaconda and st. Lawrence
will again be running.

turn of a corner. 1t is a great gamb-
ling place; the tiger runs loose in
brilliantly lighted saloons, and in the
largest Of them, the Combination"
live faro games are running.
The leading hotel in Butte is the
" McDermott,' with charges at four
dollars per day. The next in rotation
come the st. Nicholas and Windsor.
Between Butte and Weaverville are
running steam motors and cable rail-
roads, and facilities for travelling are
quite up to large cities. A survey is
being made for an electric road.
There are several fine new buildings
going up and great improvements are
being made.
Dan writes that every acquaintance
he meets appears well satisfied with
Butte. There are always places to 20
for an evenings pleasure and amuse-
ment. He does not advise any per-
son to go to Butte at present.
