who Gets the CONTRACTS In These
Parts.

The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington has recently let most Of the
mail routes in Nevada for four years
from July /. As a rule the routes
have gone off at lower figures than
ever before. This is very apt to give
us a correspondingly poor mail service.
For this region we learn Of but one
route that is awarded to a citizen of
the State. All of the rest were taken
by strangers or men residing at a
distance. These outsiders manage to
cut the life out OF the business OF mail
contracting. They know nothing Of
the country or its conditions and their
bids are merely shots at the moon in
the dark. The professional bidder
will try for hundreds OF contracts.
Such as they secure they next en-
deavor TO sublet. They will have diff
ficulty in getting some OF them off their
hands in this part Of Nevada. There
is not horse feed at the new rates for
any route that we know anything
about. Mr.. j.. N. Hill OF this place
gets the blackboard route between Eu-
reka and Palisade, three times a week,
for 1886. A Mr.. Mccoy Of Walla
Walla ecures the route from Eureka
to Ely, including a switch to Seligman,
seven times a week, for Z 100. A
Mr.. Parker, a Kansas City man, gets
the Eureka and Typo route, twice a
week, for $2,585. A colored brother
from Alabama by the name OF Alex
ander gets the routes from Wells to
Cherry Creek and from Cherry Greek
TO Aurum and Osceola, three times a
week, but the figures in these cases
are not in our possession. Brother
Alexander also gets away with the
Eureka and Ruby Hill route at 1910
per annum, six times a week, al
against $500 under the old contract.
Also he knocks the Duckwater and
Cold Creek persimmons, both weekly,
at a little over $500 per year for each.
We hear OF many other routes in the
State all going off at about the proper
tionate figures given above. and in al
most every instance to outside bidders.
The bidding seems to have been phe-
nomenal for cheapness, which indi-
Gates hard times and a desperate strug-
gle TO get hold of the dollar. Should
any OF the Winters during the next
four prove as severe as the last
one, these tenderfoot mail contractors
will be knocked silly. Each of them
will be lucky TO get out with a halter.

Doing TO Leave.

This evening Mr.. James Judge, one
OF Carson's best and much-respected
attorneys, leaves for his new home in
Eureka, where he goes into partner
ship with ex-Judge Rives, and he will
take with HIM the esteem and best
wishes OF all with whom he is acquain-
ted. The Tribune tenders Mr.. Judge
its warm regards and sincerely hopes
his future may be happy and pros
porous. Eureka gains what Carson
loses.-Carson Tribune.
Mr.. Judge arrived here last Thursday
evening. and the SENTINEL welcomes
him to the Base Range.

The Record complains that the
Union Pacific branch from Milford to
Phoebe is making slow progress. AS
things are now going it will require
two years to complete it. The trouble
seems to be that the railroad is not
paying wages enough, thus causing a
scarcity Of men. Two dollars per day
is the rate.

FREE COINAGE CONVENTION.
VIII Eareka send Delegates 10
Carson?


We publish elsewhere in this
issue the call OF Hon. Tom Fitch for a
free coinage convention at Carson on
the Goth inst. 1t will be observed
that the call invites only those who
favor full and unlimited coinage. The
man who would stand for any of the
bullion certificate frauds now before
Congress will hardly be eligible as a
delegate. II the convention has any
rational purpose it is to inform New
vada's delegation at Washington that
the people OF this State will be salts
fed with nothing less than free coin
age. This should be known to our
representatives without a convention
at all. But as they do not seem to I'M
derstand it, the convention may serve
a good purpose. We do not know
what Eureka will do about sending
delegates, this county being entitled
to six. The SENTINEL will cooperate in
any within its power. The
call suggests that public meetings be
held on the evening Of the oath. Or il
this be not done the Tuscarora Times
Review outlines the following very
sensible plan: "Let the Republican
and Democratic County Committees
meet in joint session and select the best
qualified men in their counties irrespec.
tive Of party, to represent their iurisdic'
| tons in the convention. Perhaps il
would be better that delegations
should be composed Of about an equal
number from both political parties,
but that would make no particular
| difference. There would be nc
clashing on that question. The great
| est trouble in remote counties would
be to find persons with the necessary
| qualifications, who would be willing X
make the trip to Carson"

THE COST OF wOOLENS.
Tho Wild Imagination Of the Now fofi
World niustrnteds y :

Tho Wild Imagination Of the Now York
World illustrated! y
Cltre,and Ltader.
The New York World presents quite
an array OF figures to show thatit will
cost a family Of three persons, man. wife
and boy, $50 more for woolens this year
than last, all on account Of the new
tariff, or $40 q head. At that rate 1t
would cost the people Of the, United
States S6j0,000,GoO more for wollens this
year than last.
In 1883, according to tho census re.
ports, our total production Of wooden
goods, including worsteds, hosiery and
knit goods, aggregated Sl07,2l5,2lO, and
our imports OF such goods were S3o,35B..
O02, q total OF 500, 572,l7l. This was less
than 81 q head for tho whole population,
and WOODEN goods were ut least 80 per
cent higher then than they are now,
Wooden goods may DO n little higher
this year than last, but the consumption
will not aggregate more than s. q head,
and this will buy twenty-five per cent
more goods than In 1880. How then.
can the advance In woolens cost the
American people SO q head more than
last year when the whole cost Is onlyS5?
The advance In woolens, which is only
temporary, will not cost the people OF
this country one dollar a head, and one.
half OF that, at least, will he duo to the
general rise in prices, which is seen In
free trade countries as well as here. The
Worlds statistics in this case, Us in
former instances, are concocted by some
wildly imaginative person who has a
complete cuntemp. for facts.

Pendleton did not challenge Hubbard at

What he did was to look over the list

challenged Hubbard, through the Register,
