The Sheriff o located his man .,

Of IN interpreter proceeded to question
him % 10 where he had come from,

tails; but failing 10 get any satisfactory

Last of That C0mpaOy's Smeieer
Reduced TO scrap Iron.
This week what remained Of the smelt.
ing plant Of the Eureka Consolidated
Mining Company has shared the fate OF
the Richmond, the old iron contained
therein having been sold TO the Hendy
Iron Works, and by the use OF giant
powder it is being broken into frsg-
ments. /. is estimated that there 10
about sixty tons Of old metal remaining
in and about the building, and when this

mammoth plant is the sir compressor
and two blowers on the lower floor,
the light machinery recently used by
the Eureka Sampling Works on the
floor above. The buildings. Superin-
tendent MoTerney says, will not be
molested.
At shis time. when the last vestiges OF
the two big plants are being obliserAsed,
some idea Of the wealth which the mines
Of the two companies have produced
here may be interesting. OF course
the actual values Of the ore taxed out
can not be even guessed ct. bus the fol-
| lowing figures taken from the County
Assessors books and covering the period
from April !. 1873. to April ], 1900.
will give some idea OF the enormous
production OF the two properties:

Net value. 5,296,277.35

RICHMOND.
Gross value of output. .s15, 7l3,975.0S
Net value ............ 4,9l4 Ios'oI
Taxes paid ..........s, llS,o44.N
Thus ID will be seer that the gross
output Of these two mines alone has
amounted TO the enormous sum OF
1913. 1914, sos. II, while the net product is
$40, 2lO. 446. 96-sccOrding to the books
Of the County Assessor-snd during that
period, from April |. 1873. to April /,
1900, they have paid in taxes into the
county treasury the sum Of s239, 37s.l3'
The mines, Of course. are still being
operated, though the output has been
greatly diminished. owing to this pecu-
liar order Of prosperity" the evidences OF
which are 80 conspicuous on every hand.
| However, there Is . practically mex
hsussible supply Of valuable ore YET re
naming in the depths OF these and
ns~ighboring mines. and by and by. when
the American people have returned to
their senses, il will be in demand.

To-Day the SENTINEL ID called upon
TO perform the saddest and most disa-
greeable duty that ever falls to the lot
OF a newspaper, that of recording the
death Of its founder and present pub
lisher-a duty rendered all the more
sad because Of the fact that for almost
thirty years that publisher had given
to the building up OF the paper untir-
ing energy, patient labor and self-sac-
riicing devotion. While others have
been connected with the SENTINEL al
different times during the years gone
by ii is to the executive ability and
business sagacity of Archibald Skill
man that the credit is due for what
ever measure Of prosperity the paper
has enjoyed, and wen for It's very ex
istence today.
Mr.. Skillman died at San Francisco
al 2 o'clock on the afternoon OF
Wednesday, August l, after a linger-
ing illness. Although for several
months past he had been almost con-
stantly under the physicians care it is
a consolation to know that during his
last sickness he suffered very little il
any pain, and that his end was as
peaceful as that Of a little child.
Archibald Skillman was born at
Princeton, New Jersey, on April 2,
1924, and was therefore rs years oil
age on his last birthday. In his early
manhood he came to the Pacific Coast,
and in 1851 was half owner Of the Pa
cifc News, one of the very first news
papers published in San Francisco,
and at the time OF his death was the
oldest newspaper man on this coast
After about a years experience there,
during which time the plant was
twice destroyed by FIRE, he founded
the Shasta Gall Courier, then the
only paper in that State north o.
M~arysville, and which today is recog'
nized as the second Oldest paper in
California.
After a few years Mr.. Skillman be
came dissatisfied with his surround
ings there, and, disposing OF the
Courier, came TO Nevada. For a time
he occupied the position of foreman ir
the Office OF the Territorial Enterprise
at Virginia City, but at the time Of the
White Pine excitement in 1859 his en-
e~rgetic nature and ambition to succeed
prompted him to seek his fortune in
that region Of vast possibilities, ant
he cast his lot with the pioneers o
this section of the Ssgebrush State
Early in 1870 he began the publica-
ton OF the Shermantown Reporter al
Shermantown, White Pine county
but, as is common in mining commu-
mites, that town was short-lived, ant
Mr., Skillman removed the material L
Eureka, where on the 10th day o
July, 1870, he presented to the people
OF this camp the first number OF TIL
EUREKA SENTINEL.
With the exception OF a short time
during which he published the White
Pine News, then located at Hamilton.
Mr.. Skillman has ever since been the
ruling spirit in the publication of the

DEATH OF ARCHIBALD sk,LLmAx.


SENTINEL. With the instinct which
only a true newspaper man can feel
the success Of his paper was to him
above every other thought of wealth,
preferment, OF personal comfort. To
1t he sacrificed the best years OF his
life, and as We pen these lines Q feel
ing OF awe and Of sadness comes over
US when We think Of the past and
what the future will be shorn Of his
wise counsel and ever-devoted atten-
tlon to all the details of the business.
During President Cleveland's first
administration Mr.. Skillman was ap-
pointed Internal Revenue Collector for
the district then embracing the States
OF Nevada and Utah, and held the
Office until Nevada was attached to
the California district.
Yes; the SENTINEL mourns today
mourns for the man who has ever been
to 1t more than a father TO a child
and who in a distant city. far from
friends who knew and loved him here,
yielded up his life, a prey to the a v
ages OF disease and old age.
AS we said before. il Is Q sad duty
that the SENTINEL is now called upon
to perform-a delicate and painful
duty-and as it attempts to convey to
the sorrowing widow and o words OF
comfort in their bereavement, the
writer can not hold back the tears that
course unbidden down his cheeks, and
an unuttsred prayer is breathed to the
throne on high that he may never
again be called upon to perform an
other such painful office.
In a short time the bereaved ones
will return to their home here, and
the surviving will guide the S~ENrrNEL's
destinies through the coming years,
but be those years few or many, the
name of Archibald Skillman will for.
ever hang like a halo about that of the
EUREKA SENTINEL, and his person
atty will be associated with its every
affair.
1t may be some consolation 10 the
sorrowing ones to know that during
his last illness, and now at the an
nouncement of his death, only the
kindest words have been heard of the
departed one here where he was known
SO long and so we'll, and from all sidet
are heard expressions of profound
sorrow.
With this last tribute to the memory
Of it's departed owner the SENTINEL
sorrowfully turns its face to the future
with the knowledge that in continuing
in the path marked out for it by the
man who has thus been called away
it car best DO honor to his memory
and in the years to come it will be
its constant aim to be worthy Of him
who gave a quarter OF q century o.
his life to the task OF establishing il
upon q sound basis.

Joubert's S Piety.

The resemblance which has been
traced between General Joubert and
Stonewall Jackson as military leaders
might be traced between them as men.
In both, character was dominant, and
the character was that of sincere and
spiritual Christian. "Kruger is an Old
Testament Christian; Joubert was
New Testament Christian" said one
who knew them WE'LL Joubert's relig
ion was as practical as was Stonewall
Jackson's. The religious services in
his camps were thoroughly character
istic. Mr.. Davis says he will never
forget the deep impression of reality
which they made upon him. He sang
"Old Hundred" with his men before
they went into battle with all sincerity,
just as he showed mercy to the enemy,
and respected their dead after the
battle was over. His honesty was as
aggressive as his courage. He had a
keen sense of honor-From "The Mill
