II is very gratifying indeed TO note the
success that is being experienced BY the
many tributers on the various mines
throughout the Eureka district at the
present time. II lie . welLknown fact that
nearly every man that ia working is max
ing good money and many are doing ex-
ceedingly we'll. Tributers In the Eureka
Con. and Diamond seem 10 head the list
OF successful ones, while those In the
Richmond are good seconds; and the
fact that there are many men
working 81 Adams Hill and In that
vicinity and on both sides Of Prospect
Mountain leads us TO believe that the
prospects are brighter for the ensuing year
than for several years past.
There are many tons Of ore stored at the
Hamburg. Silver Connor, and ell along
Prospect Mountain that cannot be shipped
until Spring, but the ore is there just the
same; and we predict for 1899 one Of the
most successful years for Eureka and
vicinity since the closing Of our home fur
naces.
We do not look for O boom, far from IL.
but 1t certainly does one good to observe
the shipments going out from the various
properties. and while the tonnage is not so
heavy at this season as il has been in for
mer years, yet the value Of the ores seem
70 have materially increased, so that the
amount Of money that will be received
will be more than usual. The present
price Of lead has . pleasing ef-
fect, the hills are full Of men
and we confidently expect TO see 1899 ex-
ceed In tons shipped any year during the
last five, and w do not hesitate in saying
that this season will certainly see an
increase all along the line. and that over
$4,000 tons will be the record.

The campaign for Assessor is waxing
warm. The County Commissioners give
no hint as to what their action will be next
Monday, and their grim silence does not
tend to lessen the impotence Of the vari-
Gus applicants on the anxious seat. But
.onholing is the order Of the day. and one
candidate no sooner reluctantly backs
away from q Commissioner before another
pops up. Speculation is rife, but no man
yet has donned the gown Of the prophet
and dare TO foretell the man for the place.
There is a quiet rumor on the streets that
the appointment will go 9 dark horse, so
we are prepared to be surprised.

ALL FOOLS DAY.

Like all saints, all fools have q day
devoted to their exclusive honor: the first
Of November 10 the saints and the first OF
April to the fools. To-day the SENTINEL
sends It's annual greeting 70 allfools, wish.
ing them long life, much happiness and
ell prosperity in folly.
Much speculation has been INDUCED in
% TO the origin Of this custom Of oelebrat-
ing All Fools Day by tricks, pranks. jokes,
etc. From the Hindoo comes the Hull
Feast. The Romans had the FEsTuM SruL-
forum or FEsruM F~ATuoRUM, in English
the Feast Of Fools. In England. Scotland
and America we have All Fools Day,
the first OF April. In Eureka, q nation BY
itself, we have the D. P. I. (hieroglyphic-
ally interpreted the Damn Phool Infrm-
ary). Of which the immortal John T. Baker
Il PoSTIFEx MAxrMUs AID vITAM. The
Rite. however. has fallen into "innocuous
d~esuetude" since the lamented departure
Of the great PoNrrFEx MAxIMus from Gus

The word April comes from the Latin
word APRILIs and that from the verb
aperire, meaning to open, because on that

and BLooMrSes OF the Spring began; hence
on ALI Fools Day or the first Of April the

WE ARE ALL PROSPEROUS,
Revival of Business Activity Extends
Ia All Sectiots and All Interests.

Co All SECTIONS anu All ih'ffs'S.
There Is both interesting and Instructive
reading in the trade reports printed by
the New York Commercial this week.
They not only show that a good healthy
condition exists in all lines Of business at
present, but indicate a volume OF trade
during The fall and winter that IN many
sections VIII be a record breaker. Inesc
reports which come from trade centres
all over the country, show cOnclusively
that no one section is prospecting at tie eX-
pense of another. in the farming dis
tricts. while some crops have been partial
failures, others have more tnan made
up for such loss. and the consequence IS
that the agricultural community has more
money and IS more prosperous 6cl,craiiy,
than for years past This fact is being
brought out more distinctly every day. IN
most lines of retail and wholesale business
demand far exceeds supply, and at in
creased prices, too. In fact, price docs
not seem TO enter into the consideration
of a buyer. lie wants certain goods. has
money To- nay for them, and thaJs all
there IS TO it. I'm spite Of the fact that
ne has the money he is often compelled
TO wait for the simple reason hat facto-
rcs and mills cannot turn out the -Oods
fast enough Most of them are working
increased forces overtime. but they are
hampered by a lack Of raw material.
Taking it all in all, the business conditions
90 the country coulO not be on e. better
basis. There Is nothing apprOac ching a
boom, simply a good healthy state Of az
fairs that bids fair 10 last for an inGeh-
mite period. O.,
Birmingham enjoys great activity in all
branches OF trade. Baltimore merchants
cannot supply demands made upon them;
October trade continues brisk in Louis
willie: Cincinnati dry goods houses are do
ing phenomenal jobbing business; naval
stores men Of Savannah enjoy a first
class season; St. Louis reports brilliant
prospects for the faT and winter: collec-
tions at 81. Paul are greatly improved.
New Orleans trade for October opened
up brightly, and Nashville anticipates an
unusually active season. other cities.
Win scarcely an exception. send reports
equally optimistic and encouraging
