q. A. Corenke writes q Friend Re.
gsrdfng Cripple Creek.


From a private letter received by a
gentleman in Eureka from G. A. Co
renke, our old fellow-townsman, who
is now a resident Of Victor, Colorado,
the SENTINEL has been kindly permit
ted to make the following extracts:
You will pardon me for neglecting to
write you ere this, but this is a large
district to look owe and quite difficult
for a stranger to form an opinion as to
it's future.
The first fire at Cripple Creek did
not do a great amount Of damage, as
only q few business houses were de-
stroyed. But the second fire complete
ly wiped out the business portion OF
the town. What effect it will have on
the future of the place it is hard to pre-
dict. l have often heard Of ships and
other places being in distress, but |
never had il ocularly demonstrated un-
til | viewed what is called Barbary
Coast after the fire.
Many people, however, at Cripple
Creek have great confidence in the
mines Of the district, and a company
is building a hotel there which will
cost 800, 900.
| was in a large gambling saloon last
night for a short time, and although
the place was crowded almost to suffo-
cation | did not see a man put a quar-
ter Of a dollar over the bar. l remarked
to a friend: "How different from old
Eureka" And l have come to the
conclusion that there will never be an
other Eureka. The people here are as
cosmopolitan as they are in San Fran
cisco or Chicago, and the social dispo-
sition that is 80 manifest on the Base
Range is painfully absent here.
Property here is selling for twenty
times more than it sold for a year ago.
From appearances every kind Of bust
ness is greatly overdone, and rents are
high. Accommodations are not good.
My room is so dark that / cannot see
to write in the daytime, and not very
comfortable at night ON account OF the
cold.
Charles Coady. formerly of Ruby
Hill, and K. l.. Chase, a former resi-
dent OF Eureka, are here.

Had Els Hip Broken

Walter l.. McElroy, youngest son of
Mrs. p. MeElroy, met with a very seri-
Gus accident the first of the present
week at DeLamar. 1t appears he was
at work in one OF the mines there, run
ming a car. While running a car out
to the dump it attained such a high
rate of speed that he, fearing that the
car would go over the waste dump,
placed himself before the car and en-
deavored to stop it, when he was struck
with such force as to hurl him over the
pile. AS a result Of the fall his hip
was broken. The young mans mother
was on her way home from DeLamar
when she heard OF the accident, and
Immediately returned to the latter
place to care for her injured son.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the End
inst. contains the following regarding
the death Of Edward E. Clark, at nj
time a resident of Eureka. He was a
brother-in-law OF r. P. Mcdaniel, also
formerly of this place: Edward E.
Clark, Superintendent and part owner
Of the Eagle mine at Mercur, died at
the Walker House last evening, his
sorrowing wife and children being at
his bedside. His last hours were spent
in Inconsistencies, and his death was
a quiet separation Of body and spirit.
He was first attacked about three
weeks ago while visiting in this city,
suffering what at the time was thought
TO be an apoplectic stroke. The best
medical attendance was secured, and
the disease was diagnosed as cerebro
spinal meningitis. In spite of all DIR.
Daily, his physician. could do. another
stroke followed eight days ago, and
since that time his decline has been
steady. He relapsed into unconscious

tally p~aralyzed, remaining in that con-
dition to the end. Deceased was born
So years ago, in Homer. New York.

Low Prices for Cattle.

@. L. Taylor has just returned from
the East, where he went with and sold
Q trainload Of cattle for ]. NJ. Fulton.
He says cattle are very cheap and are
selling for the lowest price realized
since 1879. Mr.. Taylor says from in
formation gathered, he thinks Idaho,
the Dakotas and the Black Hills coun.
try have more cattle to market this
Fall than ever before. 1t is to be
hoped that California will need and
use more OF our beef the coming Win
ter than they have wanted during the
past.-Reno Gazette.

NEVADA.
A weird, fAr-reaching waste OF rag and
sand,
Uncbanging, mute, beneath the varying
sky.
Mysterious realm, vast treasures 10 thee
lie;
Snow-crowned mountains, wrinkled.
Sphinx-liks, grand,
Holding thy secrets awful, round thee
stand.
Above thy desolation storm clouds fly,
And giant forms in spectral majesty
Trail their white robes across the dusty
land.
In those dark shadows fairest flowers grow;
Lesping adown thy slopes. the joyous
streams
Among the willows Of the valley flow
In the broad meadows 10 | the water
CLEANS,
And lonely ranches like GASES glow,
Gemming with beauty this dull home Of
dreams.

FAIR AND MERCIFUL-

The Sacramento Record Union has
the following: We had no idea from
the onset that Hammond and his CO.
defendants would be hanged. AS we
read the United Press dispatches from
the trial it was understood that il the
defendants pleaded guilty their necks
would be spared. President Kruger
is a man of probity and his word.
That he would never violate. This very
fact of agreement explains the paucity
of the dispatches relative to the con-
viction Of Hammond and his confed-
crates. 1t was preposterous to sup
pose for a moment that Kruger would
make any such political blunder as
permitting the men to be executed.
The offense OF the defendants was
great so has been the mercy shown
them. The Boer Government has been
INDICATED, and substantial justice
done, and that was all that the Beers
demanded.
The fairness OF the Beers in the trial
OF the Johannesburg conspirators was
proved in the calling OF a Judge to hear
the case who is not a Boer, nor a citi-
zen of their country, but a Judge of the
Orange Free State, and an Englishman
by birth, and is a brother of the Chief
Justice OF Cape Colony. English Ter
ritory.

the modern sized vessels now engaged

with much opposition as the present To-
cation is looked upon as the more suit
able place. The insurance people are
greatly interested in having the Break

steamships coming there for orders are
now compelled to anchor out in the
open sea. There ia not room in the
