+. J. Brossemer received a dispatch
from Santa Barbara, CAL, on Wednes-
day last, announcing the death Of our
old-fellow townsman Fred. NJ. Heit-
mann at that place on the evening pre-
vious. Although the news Of his
death was received with sorrow by
his numerous friends in Eureka, still
they were not surprised when made
acquainted with the fact. Mr.. Heit-
mann. had been ailing for a long time
previous to his visit to California, to
which place he went in the hope that
a change of climate would be beneficial
to him, and for a time after his arrival
there reports were received here that
he was improving. However, about a
month ago, he was attacked with
Bright's disease OF the kidneys which
resulted in death.
The deceased was an old resident of
Nevada, and especially the easten por-
ton OF it, where he resided for the last
twenty years.
tits with feelings of sincere regretthat
the SENTINEL is called upon to record
the demise OF Mr.. Heitmann. He was
a genial, kind-hearted man and always
took a lively interest in all public af-
fairs. As a citizen, as a business man,
as a neighbor, and as a friend, the
deceased did his duty. His wei court
eous and gentlemanly ways and man.
ners in his daily walks Of life endeared
him to all with whom he came in con-
tact.
He leaves to mourn him two sisters
and two brothers, m of the former
Mrs. III. Mau--being with him at the
time of his death, to all Of whom the
SENTINEL extends its ~sincerest SYM
pathy.
Deceased was a native Of Germany,
aged SO years. The funeral took place
on Thursday last at Santa Barbara.
Peace to his ashes, reverence to his
memory.

The Matter FxpIaiued.

On April 9th this paper notified its
Montana readers that in that State,
after July LIST, the Montana 4" prospec-
tor must sink a hole at least ten feet
deep in solid formation, must have at
least one defined wall, and must stake
his ground so that the stake a be
seen-not on the stump of a tree in
the neighborhood. He is allowed
ninety days in which to do this work.
If he relocates an old prospect hole he
is required to sink ii ten feet deeper
than when he first found it, and takes
and records it the same as though it
was an original discovery. 1t he runs
a tunnel it must be at least ten feet
long, so as to determine the fact that
a vein supposed to carry the precious
metals has been discovered" A Butte
mining paper, recently started, copied
the item, along with a good many
others, forgetting to give credit, and
after awhile a Deadwood, S. d., paper
copied it from the Butte paper, leaving
out the word Montana" Then a
city contemporary published it YER
batim as it appeared in the Deadwood
paper, and several interior journals
have copied it, with the result that
every mail brings inquiries. Usually
the clipping is sem with the words.
" How is this " or similar legend APP
pended. The matter is mentioned
merely to say that the facts are as
published in the Press OF April 9th.

How Accidents Occur sometimes.

ANttWCAts OpVhhs
Said a railroad man: at is a COM
mon occurrence in III business to see
a man on the track not far ahead look
around when the whistle is blown and
then walk leisurely on several steps
before leaving the track. We
pass him Immediately and he looks up
with surprise at finding the train SO
close upon him. l have seen many
such thoughtless persons run down
who never made this simple c~alcula-
ton in mental arithmetic. A train
moving at forty miles an hour covers
a sixteenth OF a mile in seven and one
half seconds. A man in the middle OF
the track a sixteenth of mile in front
of a fast express running sixty miles
an hour stands little more chance to
escape than he would in attempting to
dodge a cannon ball"

Kalamazoo Celery.

Kalamazoo celery lis known the world
over. The name is such a guarantee Of
quality that it is used for the better
kinds Of celery, no matter where it is
raised 1t may be Of interest to know
that the lunches are packed for market
in wooden boxes about the size Of a
peach crate, say "a inches long, 16
inches wide and or s inches deep. The
bulk Of the crop is handled and shipped
by middlomeu, who contract for it, or
handle it On commission. Tt is shipped
by express and freight; the latter Of
late has become moro popular method.
The celery meadows are what might bo
called bottom lands, located north and
south of the city. They are surrounded
by hills and divided by the ridge Of
higher ground upon which the city is
built. They are perhaps three miles
long and a mile wide The soil is a
heavy black muck, originally very fer.
tile, but it now requires the liberal ap-
plication of fCrtilizors and manures.
The latter is fmuia he'd chiefly by the
stables of tho city; when q load Of cell
cry is hauled in town, a load Of manure
is taken back
The meadows or bottom lands, ex-
plains American Gardening, are not
common farming lands, as most people
suppose, but are evidently a peculiar
form of black muck, the result Of vege-
table decomposition The area is COM
paIatively limited and must increase
largely in value as the demand for cell
cry increases

Bury the Dead.
Following close upon the action Of
the Rev. Julius Feicke, who gave up
preaching to enter the saloon business
because the pulpit did not afford him
living, comes another New Jersey cler-
gyman who, rather than starve, has
abandoned the ministry for business.
The change this time is made by the
Rev. W. r. Clark, pastor of the First
Congregational church Of Gutenberg,
and he has gone into the undertaking
business
The church is a small one and com
posed of members who are not wealthy.
1t does not pay regular salary, but
when the Rev. Mr.. Clark accepted the
pastorate he says he was promised that
he should not want for anything. The
donations and subscriptions upon which
the trustees depended to make good their
promises were not forthcoming, and Mr..
CLARK soon found himself face to face
with the problem which drove Mr..
Feioke out Of the ministry.
He has rendered his resignation in
letter, In which he said that during the
six months he had acted as pastor Of
the church he had received just gas. 90.
This was hard enough to bear, but when
certain members of the congregation
began to slander him it was more than
he could stand. New York Herald.

NOTHING TO DIG BUT GOLD.
Wonderful Discoveries Of the yellow Ore
Near Salt Lake City.

Wonderful Discoveries Of the yellow Ore
Near Salt Lake city.
Recent discoveries Of vast goldfelds
at Mercur, about 65 miles south of Salt
Lake City, which give every indication
of making that place one Of the largest
and richest gold mining camps in the
world, have created intense excitement
For about two years only one property
has been operated, and that by the Mer-
cur Gold Mining and Milling company,
and in that period it has paid dividends
of over S600,000 1t now appears that
the valley for many miles in every di-
reotion contains ore equally as rich or
richer than the Mercur company's prop
erty.
Within a short period a district of
seven miles by three miles has been al
most entirely taken up, and fully 1000
miners and prospectors are at work
Three new mills have been started up
and are now operating even more profit
ably than the original one. New discov-
cries are being made daily, and there is
great excitement. The extent of the sur
face in which the ore is found appears
to be practically unlimited, and the
stock of numerous companies which
have recently incorporated is eagerly
sought for at from 90 cents to SO a share
Captain Delamar, the multimillionaire,
recently obtained an option to purchase
the properties of the Mercur company
for 81 800, 900. The option runs until
Jan. 6, and there is scarcely doubt he
will take it up.-New York Tribune.

Captain Colley makes the following
ltatement:
"Our voyage was a stormy one from
the first, and the ship was soon driven
from her course and began to leak. We
wero not anxious for our safety until we
got within 70 miles Of Queenstown, ON
Nov. II, when the ship encountered a
terrific gale, with tremendous seas,
which swept her decks and stove and
carried off her bulwarks and deckhouse.
The ship was then leaking badly and
taking water very fast.
1.-THE crew manned the pumps con-
stantly in the effort to save our lives.
The water continued to gain, however,
and ON Nov. 10 the water in the hold
was ten feet deep. In the meantime one
man had fallen overheard and was
drowned. On Nov. 10 we got out the
longboat and towed her astern. Three
seamen and the second officer were in
the boat. The high seas caused the boat
to plunge so violently that it became
necessary to cut the painter to prevent
her from swamping. The boat was with
out oars and was provided with neither
lood nor wa ". When the painter was
cut, the bost drifted away into the dark
ness, and Immediately had another
boat lowered, manned by the first and
third officers and five men, provided
with flashlights to search for her
1.-THE Belle O'Brien watched for hours
for the return of the boats, but we saw
neither of them again. Soon another
gale sprang up, and the pumps becamo
very difficult to work on account of the
grain in the hold choking them. AS tie
water gained, the grain continued to
swell until it bulged the planks ON the
ships sides and heaved her decks. We
did not relax our desperate efforts to
keep the ship afioat until we were sight
ed and picked up by the Rosemorran. -

Alkali is a name given to a class Of
substances that have certain we'll defined
characteristics, such as uniting with fats
to form soap and neutraizing acids.
Potash, soda and ammonia are all "al-

not due TO am excess of potash, but to
the presence Of too much soda in harm

soda out Of the soil by flooding or drain
ing, or to change it into such a form
that it will not be harmful to plants.
These spots might perhaps be helped by
drainage, but unless water can be
washed through them, there isnot much
