A correspondent at Keystone. this
county, writing to 9 friend in Eureka.
among other things, says: Owing to the fact
that there is another Keystone In the
southern part Of this State, mail matter
intended for this place quite often goes to
the former, and 1t Ia sometimes three or
four weeks before ID reaches its proper des-
tinAtion. This Inconvenience, however,
we hope will be remedied, as q petition
has been circulated asking for . Postofice
here. II the scheme is successful we will

Things are In q fairly good condition
here. The mill was finished last Winter
before the stormy weather set In, was
started up and worked very successfully
until the storms Of Spring set in, when
the man who had the contract for furnish.
ing the wood and hauling the ore quit.
So at present we are al a standstill. and

There are . few men working In the
mine. which looks fairly we'll, there being
quite an amount Of ore In sight.

GOLD ORES OF EUREKA.

This district has been famed for years
IS a great lead smelling center, and the
impression has gone abroad that only sill
yer was found In the ores smelted. Now.
ss a fact, one-third or more Of the precious
metal produced has been gold many Of
the mines producing gold almost exclus-
lively. Hundreds OF thousands OF tons Of
ore have been worked in the district assay
ing $40 and upwards 9 ton in gold, Q great
deal Of ID running far above that figure.
At the present time large quantities OF ore
are being taken out Of our mines and sent
abroad and sold. coming quite up TO these
figures 10 gold. II parties mining and
selling their ores abroad would furnish the
SENTINEL with the returns they receive,
showing the amount Of gold contained In
their ores. the fact would soon be gener-
ally advertised that Eureka has been and
is Q great gold producing camp and con-
tsiEs Q large number Of excellent gold
properties. Our gold ores have been thor
oughly tested by the cyanide and other
teaching processes by skilled parties and
work readily TO . high percentage. Bring

As Governor sadler was crossing the
alkali fat between his Diamond Valley

leg last Wednesday, he met with quite q
severe accident. He had stopped the team
and got out Of the buggy and on getting

PAYABLE sEmI.ANNUALLY.

An act Of the Legislature, approved
March 16, 1897, provides for the payments
Of taxes in semi-annual installments.
Any person charged with taxes on real
estate and personal property according 70
the existing law, may al his option pay
the full amount thereof on or before the
first Monday in December OF each year;
but II be should pay one-hslf Of such
taxes. as the same shall appear on the
assessment roll taxed against him. on or
before the first Monday in December Of
each year. then, In such case. the re-
naming half OF said taxes shall not be-
come delinquent prior to the first Monday
in June next ensuing; but II such person
shall fail to pay the first of said taxes. as
herein provided, then the entire tax shall
be collected, as now provided by law, and
all taxes, OF which the first half shall not
be paid on or before the first Monday in
December Of each year, shall be subject to
have added thereto a penalty OF 10 per
ocnt nhu VA taAoc VI tue pIeCeoluB year
which remain due and unpaid on the first
Monday in June Of each year shall be sub
ject to and there shall be added thereto a
like penalty Of 10 per cent.
This act does not take effect until the
frst Of January next, after which time
property owners. provided they hold real
estate In the county OF q value sufficient to
cover the amount Of the taxes, may. at
their option, pay one-hslf Of their taxes
in December and the other half on or be-
fore the first Monday in June Of the n
suing year.
IL Is believed by many, says the Reno
Journal, that this act will be beneficial TO
the taxpayers, for instead OF having the
money, which they are now compelled to
pay in December, lying idle in the State
and County Treasures they will have the
use Of one-hslf OF 1t from December until
the ensuing June.

which he vouches for as an absolute fact:
The other morning Q large glass globe in
which was kept ''oherry wine" was acei-
dentally broken. At the bottom OF the
globe was q quantity Of the cherries. The
cherries were gathered up and thrown
over the fence into . yard close BY where

msdiately began picking them up. Pres
emily the chickens commenced TO reel aud
stumble about the yard and against each
other, and in less than ten minutes the

somewhat from the effects Of their Jag
they appeared TO realize the situation. for
they snesked off one by one to the chicken
house and were not seen around the yard
the rest Of the day.

NEVADA AND HER ENEMIES.


From the Salt Lake Tribune, April 49,
In the current Forum is an able article
from the pen Of William E. smythe on The
theme, "Shall Nevada be Deprived OF State
hood ?" II was inspired by an article in
that meanest and most vindictive Of news
papers, the Chicago Tribune, an extract
from which Mr.. smy.he makes his text.
1t Is as follows:
"Congress is perfectly able TO deal with
the unprecedented condition Of affairs
which exists in Nevada. The silver mines
which made her all she was have been ex-
hsusted. She has no other mineral wealth.
She has NO agricultural resources. She
has nothing to attract people; and, as a
consequence, she is Pickering out" Then
the Chicago paper urges that the proper
thing 70 do is TO deprive Nevada OF her
Statehood, or at least to exclude her Sens-
tors from Congress.
That is a decidedly cool proposition. II
that can be done for one State, IL can for
other States. Suppose q combination be
formed and the Illinois Senators be hut
out. at least the one from Chicago. who
has for years been contaminated by read.
ing the Chicago Tribune. With that done
the next trial might be on Ohio. We
affirm, without fear OF successful contra
diction, that il one Senator from Ohio
could have been shut outtwenty-fve years
ago, i. would have saved this country In
property an amount more than equsling
the entire property Of either the Austrian
or Russian Empire. II the pruning is to
begin, by sll means let us star. right.
There is a sensible way by which Nevada
might disappear from the map. and we do
not believe that the people OF that State
would object to it. II would be some
thing like this. Make two States of Cali
~fornia, having the dividing line east and
west in the center, which would reach the
coast a little south Of Monterey. Give the
eastern 70 or 100 miles OF Nevada to q tab.
Then continue the dividing line OF Cali
fornis east to the Utah line, and include
all north in Northern and ell south in
Southern California. Each Of the Calior-
MAS would then have more area than all
New England, more native wealth than
ten New Englsnds.
But why worry about Nevada Nevada
has never had any cheap communications
with the outside world. Over most Of the
State about the same wages are demanded
as were paid In 1860. With freights re-
duced, wages could be. And all that is
liable to come around in the next two
years. II il should, then in two years
more Nevada would be about the foremost
mining region in all this world. When
the Chicago paper says her silver mines
are exhausted and that she has no other
mineral resources, that paper merely sd-
v~ertises itself afresh as one OF the most
uncomfortable liars in all the newspaper
fraternity. That is, ii keeps up its old
reputation. Nevada's gold crop last year
yielded more money than did the wheat
crop Of Illinois-thatis, Nevada's mineral
resources are wonderfully varied and alto
gether inexhsustible. Her furnaces will
be smoking for ages after the editor Of the
Chicago Tribune is doing the same thing
in q much warmer climate than Nevada
