A Stockton, CAL, dispatch Of March
81 says: Mrs. Lucy Arthur, said to
have been the oldest woman on the Pa.
ci6c Coast, died this morning. Born in
slavery and having lived in bondage for
a half century; the mother of seventeen
children, Of whom but two survive, the
the younger being 80 years old; died at
the remarkable age of los years, 3
months and % days-that, in brief, is
the history OF the aged colored woman
whose longevity has been the astonish-
ment Of all who have known her. She
possessed all her faculties to the last,
and up to yesterday could thread a
needle. Mrs. Arthur was born when the
Revolutionary War was fresh in the
minds Of everybody, and a year before
Washington was ~inaugurated as the
first President of the United States.

THE COMING CONVENTIONS.

| President and Vice President who will
be acceptable to the Bimetallists and the

arranged, as the SENTINEL understand:

separately-that is they are two distinct
bodies-each perfects it own organiza-
tion and adopts its own platform. Then,
when the nomination Of candidates fol
President and Vice President is reached,
the programme is that each convention
appoint a conference committee. These
two committees then retire and endeavol
to select two men who will be agree

A GOOD WORD FOB NEVADA

According to Charles A. Dana, who re.
Gently lectured on Lincoln. the State Of
Nevada was created to meet an emer-
gency in the settlement of the slavery
question. When the amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting slavery was
placed before the people one more State
was needed to insure its adoption and
Lincoln decided upon the creation Of the
State of Nevada. Lincoln said: at is
easier to create Nevada than to raise
1000, 900 more men," This little side
light on Nevada history has softened the
criticism of some of the newspapers Of
the East which have been speaking con-
te~mptuously of the deteriorating silver
State. Nevada played a most important
part in the great struggle for human free
dom. 1t cast the deciding vote. Its
mission was worthy Of the greatest and
best OF States and had the sharks Of the
financial clique in London and New York
permitted the money of the Constitution
to remain undisturbed, the Nevadsns
would to-day be able to hold their own
and add millions yearly to the national
wealth. Butte Miner.

serve by this issue that il has been
shorn OF some Of its former proportions.

change has been made to avoid printing
so much dead matter " and n~on-payipg

reading matter, however, will be fur
nished as formerly. The SENTINEL is
now the same size as when it was started
in the Summer Of 1870, at which time
the business outlook for q newspaper was
much more prosperous than it is at the
present time.

EUREKA, Nevada, March %, 1896.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Some time since,
through your columns, l called attention
TO the fact that Eureka had been one OF
the most important gold producing min
ing districts on the Pacific Coast. De-
string to make q conservative estimate OF
the amount of gold that had been pro.
duced in the district, / placed it
at not less than ten millions Of dollars.
Upon careful research and inquiry | lind
that that estimate was way below the
mark. l am assured by gentlemen who
have been connected with some Of our
larger mining companies almost from the
time mining on a large scale commenced
10 the district, that one-third OF the pro.
duct OF the district has been gold; that
at least twenty-five millions Of the sew
enty-fve millions that have been pro-
duced was gold.
There are hundreds of gold bearing
lodes in the district and ems Of thousands
Of tons Of gold ore lying exposed in the
| mines that have been worked OF too low
grade for smelling or for shipment away
for sale, but Of higher grade than the ore
Of many gold mines that are being
worked successfully elsewhere. In view
of these facts, why is it that little or no
effort has been made to call attention to
the Eureka gold mines? Why is it that
none Of the cheap processes for the re-
ducticn of gold ores are tried here? The
owners Of a great many gold bearing
lodes in the district who are poor are
thoroughly dlsheartened, and would be
willing to sell their mines for q song. and
sing it themselves, if they could find
purchasers. Others would make almost
any reasonable arrangement with parties
with capital who might desire to test the
possibility of working these gold ores at
a profit. Surely with proper effort CAPT
tai, sufficient at least to make q test.
might be secured.
Recently a gentleman Of long expert
ence in mining in this State. with whom
l was conversing, queried about the oc-
currence Of gold lodes in limestone and
their p~ermanency, and also about gold
occurring in lodes with sn iron gangue in
the main. The queries. coming from a
gentleman who had been accustomed to
find gold only in quartz lodes, were very
natural. The working Of the gold lodes
10 this district has established the fact
beyond all sort of question that permanent
gold lodes do occur in limestone. In this
district the gold lodes with an iron
gangue carry a larger percentage of gold
than the gold quartz lodes of California
and elsewhere. and the gold is distrib-
uted more uniformly throughout the
lodes. The Robinson District in White
Pine county, so far as the lodes have
been worked, show the same results.

SUNDAY.

According to the way some OF the Cali.
fornis newspapers figure it out, it was
Easter last Sunday along the Pacific
Coast. 1t appears the moon did it all.
Luna got full ont of season and the re-
suit was that il broke up church calcu.
lations. 1t is further stated that it is the
first time the phenomenon has happened
since the creation Of the pascbal. They
find that the first full moo after the
Spring equinox put in an appearance Oh
this Coast shortly after 10 o'clock on the
night Of the 2Sth ult., and it is stated as
a fact that the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the Spring equinox is Easter
Sunday the world over. But in this par
ticular case, it seems. the Pacific Coast
only had it's Easter Sunday a week
in advance of the rest of the world.
When the moon filed Saturday night,
reckoning by Pacific Coast time, it was
already Sunday in New York and Lon.
don. Consequently for the East and
the balance of the world, excepting the
Pacific Coast, the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the Spring exquinox
does not arrive until tomorrow.
Zsll's Encyclopedia gives the history
Of Easter Sunday, as follows:
A Christian festival, held in commem-
Grafton Of the resurrection of our Sa-
vior-called Pascha by the Roman and
Greek Churches. 1t is q movable feast,
occurring at any date between March p
and April 25; and by it the other nova.
BILE feasts throughout the ecclesiastical
year are regulated. 1t is held about the
same time as the Jewish Passover. or
Paschal feast, although ID very seldom
happens that the Christian and Jewish
festivals are observed on the same day.
In the early church this festival lasted
for some days. and catechumens were
then usually admitted to the rite of bap-
tism. At present, its celebration is
confined, in the Church Of England. to
Easter-eve, Easter Sunday, and the Mon.
day and Tuesday in Easter week. In
the Roman Catholic Church it is q time of
enjoyment, because the restrictions i'm.
posed during the preceding period of Lent
are no longer to be observed. Some as
cribe it's institution to the apostles, but
the more general opinion is that it was
first observed by their immediate sue
cessors. about 6S. The Council Of Aries,
in 3l4, and the Council of Nices. in 1926.
decreed that the day for keeping this
festival should be the l4th day Of the
March noon. By the alteration of the
calendar by Gregory XIII, in 1852. the
frS Sunday after the full moon imme-
diately following the 2lst Of March, was
fixed IS the day for observing this fes-
tival.
