The immediate prelude to Germany's
colonial career in Asia was the murder by
a Chinese mob. Of two German missionaries

Shan-Tung, on November ]. 1897. The murder
was a cowardiy deed, worthy Of the scverest

DAY.

AS each year draws nea a close and
Christmas time comes, how many are
there, who, looking forward to that
joyful day, consider what Christmas
really means. For is not Christmas
day celebrated in every conceivable
manner? Most people make it a day
Of feasting and drinking; some spend
ii quietly, while a great many men
will spend their last cent in order to
buy whisky enough to get on a "big
spree" as they generally term it.
When the effects OF the terrible stimu-
liant have worn away they will try to
find consolation in saying christmas
gomes but once a year" Because it
tcomes only once a year is no reason
why it should be spent in that manner.
There are other ways OF celebrating
the birth OF our Saviour than in carous-
ing and feasting, only to feel, when
the day is over, that all we have done
is to satisfy our material ~appetites.
Why not, when Christmas dawns, try
to see how many hearts We can glad
den by bestowing charity on those in
need. True, we are not all in a finan-
cial condition to help others; If we
were there would be no one to help.
But while some of us have everything
money can buy and on Christmas day
spend many a dollar on trivial things,
thinking only of our own comforts,
some OF our nearby neighbors may be
suffering for the bare necessities Of
life. A very little, spent in the right
way, will often gladden. a Borrowing
heart. When the year draws to a
close we are pleased to think of the
good deeds we have done and the kind
words we have spoken, rather than the
sorrow we have caused. So let Christ
mas be a day of kindness and charity.
spent in doing as many good deeds as
we can. Then there will be no cause
to regret the manner in which We have
| spent this Christian holiday.

From the SENTINEL of october 8 1911
Never in the history of Eureka has
building been going on ct such a rapid
rate as at present. Houses are going up
in every direction, and the carpenters are
as busy as bees. A gentleman informed
us to-day that he had been unable to obtain
the services of a mechanic for love or
money, even to draw specifications of a
house he intended to erect. From the
Consolidated furnace to the Roslin works,
a distance of over a mile and a half, board,
canvas and adobe houses are springing up
like magic, and everywhere can be heard
the sound of building. A good feeling
prevails among our community, and no
one seems at all uncertain as to Dur future.
To an old resident it seems like a dream
that we should so suddenly spriRg into life.
and it is gratifying to all who have roughed
it through the dull season to have the in
c~reasing life manifested in all branches Of
our business.
From the SENTINEL Of October 8, 1884,
We have an intimation from a source
which we deem most reliable, that an
arrangement has been perfected by which
the railroad to connect Eureka with the
great Central at Palisade will speedily be
connected, and thereafter hurried with all
dispatch to completion. There never
was a better fiele for such IN enterprise.

Gently cut in the company's tunnel on the
s~outheasterly slope of Ruby Hill, proves
to be one of the finest bodies ever struck in
the district. The vein seems to be entirely
different in its physical characteristics from
any of the known ore streaks heretofore
opened. Both the side tunnel and the
main tunnel cut what is probably the SAINT
ledge. In the branch the ore is over ten
feet thick, and in the end towaro the
center of the hill, some $50 feet from the
ravine. a cross cut in vein matter shows
the width to be fully twelve feet and not
yet through. The ore in the branch is like
the usual ore in the vicinity; that in the
end of the main wing is, on the contrary,
all blasting. The whole face at this latter
point is in ore which will assay not less
thar $500 in silver for each and every ton,
no gold, which fact constitutes its distinc-
tion from the ores heretofore found, and an
average of not less than 40 per cent in lead.
Should the ore body prove even of the
usual average value between the two points
where the tunnels strike it, we can add to
the actual proven value of the mine not
less than $500. 600, duo to this last new
strike alone.
