Just previous to the explosion in the
Scofeld mine the Southern Pacific con-
tracted with the Pleasant Valley Coal
Company OF Utah for the delivery of
1000 tons of coal per day. The group of
mines known as the Pleasant Valley
are situated some $50 miles from Ogden
The Southern Pacific Company, in or
der to handle this 1000 tons day has
built 500 new gondola cars which can
carry fifty tons OF coal. Altogether it is

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL.
TRUSTS As BENEFACrORs.

In the United States Senate on
Tuesday Mr.. Sewell (Rep.) charac-
terized the Standard Oil Company
and the American Sugar Refining
Company as public benefactors, y
adding that it had always been the
aim OF those corporations to cheaper
the cost of their products to the
American people.
Senator Pettigrew took the trouble
10 demonstrate tho utter falseness of
the statements and submitted fig.
ures to prove the opposite to be the
case. But aside from the question
Of prices there is another side to the
question which it appears has es-
capped the attention Of our statesmen.
Trusts are a curse to the country
because OF their policy to destroy
competition, and their power to
accomplish their purpose, thus
making il almost impossible for in
dividusls to engage in any kind OF
business on their own account. In
this way many men who might be-
come employers in q small way are
forced to work on a salary, and are
fortunate If they are able to secure
employment. In this way the spirit
of independence is crushed in young
men and ambition and energy to rise
above present surroundings are dis
couraged.

The Power Of MhiteMash

An English clergyman was walk
ing through the outskirts of his par
ish one evening when he saw one OF
his parishioners very busy white
washing his cottage. The parson,
pleased at these somewhat novel
signs of cleanliness, called out:
well. Jones, l see you are making
your house nice and smart" With
a mysterious air, Jones who had
recently taken the cottage, descend
ed from the ladder, and slowly walk
ed to the hedge which separated the
garden from the road. "That's not
'xac'ly the reason why I'm adding
of this eye job" he whispered, "but
the last two couples as lived in this
ere cottage 'ad twins; so says to
missus, I'll tax an whitewash the
place so there mayn't be any infec-
tion.' Ye see, sir, as 'ow we got ten
of 'em already"

PNEUMONIA AT BUTTE.
Nevadans Numerous I'm That Bust
ling Burg.

A correspondent of the Carson
News thus describes Montana's Me-
tropolis:
Butte, at present, is q very lively
city. Over $4,000 people dwell here.
Mining is the chief industry. Miners
are paid 50 so per day. Some work
eight hours per day but the majority
put in ten hours for shift.
Saturday night is devoted to
promenading. Everybody is out
and Main street presents a spectacle
rivaling in grace and beauty the
fashionable o'clock saunter down
Market street in San Francisco.
1t strikes me that every one who
has been missed from Nevada for the
last twelve years can be found here.
The Nevada people form a very large
proportion of the population and
nearly all of them are doing well.
Some are upon the best seats on
Easy Street. Still all would like to
see the old Comstock take on new
lease of life as in the deep recesses
of every Nevadan's heart lies q ten
der feeling for the old burg.
Pneumonia is causing much anxi-
ETY. at present. The death rate is
very large indeed. L do not know
what to say about it. 1t is all off
with you if it catches hold on you.
The more robust you are the sooner
you will be subject for the under
taker. The smallpox is not in it
with the pneumonia they have here.
You have chances with the smallpox
but the latter never looses bet.
The weather at present is not very
salubrious. Rain one minute, sun
shine the next, then a moment of
snowfakes and then a cold piercing
wind.

NeyatIa.a Paradox.

Wm e. Smith, in the Forum thus
presents the condition of affairs in
Nevada at the present time:
Nevada is the victim of circum-
stances. Rich in the potentialities
of material greatness, and therefore
strong in the capacity to support q
social structure, she presents the
battling paradox of declining popu-
lation in Western State.
If she were located in South Africa
the nations of Europe would plot
and struggle for possession of her
minerals, lands and waters; if in
New South Wales the colonial
government would employ the pub
lie capital to reclaim her deserts and
enable the surplus population of
Adelaide to make homes upon her
soil; Germany, the imperial govern
ment, would charter trent banks, +"
to operate under commission, in
preparing the land for settlement
and building humble houses, to be
purchased by home seekers on gener-
Gus terms; if in Holland. the servants
of the little queen would extend the
admirable colonies which furnished
for seventy-five years, graduating
thousands of needy men from beg
gary to tenantry, from tenantry to
proprietorship."

PROSPEROUS HAMILTON.
Heavy Shipments Are Promised
From That Camp.

From That Camp.
White Pine News: The old dead
camp Of Hamilton, made famous il
the days of the White Pine silve,
excitement in '69, is proving to be a
very lively corpse. Lead mining
has taken the place of silver mining
Last year there was more ore shipped
from Hamilton than from any other
camp in the State. with the excep-
tion OF Eureka, and this year it prom
ises to break all previoas records.
In the Young Treasure mine,
which is operated by E. J. McEllin,
and has been large shipper in the
past, the showing is bigger than ever
before in its history. There is one
face of solid carbonate and galena
ore exposed in the mine, averaging
four feet in thickness and over 20
feet in length. This ore carries
better than 65 per cent lead, besides
about 30 ounces in silver per ton,
and will be taken out for shipment
as fast as the teams can be procured
to haul il to Eureka. There are at
present about 12 men at work in the
mine and the force will be increased
in short time.
At the Homestake, operated by the
Rocco. Homestake Mining Company,
of which Harry Jackson is Superin-
tendent, there are Is men employed,
and the mine is in fine shape for the
Summer campaign. Large bodies of
ore have been blocked out during
the Winter and shipments have al
ready begun.
The Cornell group has come into
prominence again since L. Y. Muir
ply took q bond and lease on the
property. Under the management
of M. McGarry some fine bodies of
carbonate ore have been exposed,
aud shipments have begun from this
mine also.
Baptista Brothers, also sub-leasers
on the same ground, have fine
showing of carbonate ore and are
ready to commence shipping. Doc
Harris and Ed Looney of Eureka
have also recently taken lease on
the property and are Just starting in.
A great deal of prospecting is be-
ing done throughout White Pine
District. One of the most promis'
ing of the newer properties is the
Golden Fleece. near Seligman. 1t is
owned by Messrs. Muir and Eugene
Howell, and is being worked under a
lease by Fl. Hoppe and p. B. Wiley.
The leasers have been sinking a winze
from the tunnel, and at last reports
they had vein of solid carbonate ore
three feet in thickness exposed at a
depth of GO feet. Unlike the other
carbonates in the district this ore
carries 50 in gold per ton, besides
G5 per cent lead and 30 ounces of
silver.
From the above it will be seen that
instead OF two, there will probably
be four or five active shippers during
the coming season, and large force
of miners, ore packers, and team
sters will be given employment. The
ore is all shipped for reduction to
the smelters of California and COL
orado, where it nets to the shippers
from $50 to $40 per ton.

Secrecy in Wireless Telegraphy.
(Pan Nan Gazette.O

The difficulty of sending messages by
wireless telegraphy which shall not be
leglble by the whole world seems to have
been solved by a most ingenious device
presented by N Tommasi to the Acad-
emle des Sciences at their meeting of last
week. He uses at the sending station
not one but two transmitterS. One of
these transmits the real dispatch by the
usual code, while the other sends only a
series of meaningless dots and dashes
produced by a mechanical process The
range OF this last tranSmitteT is kept al
ways rather less than the other, so that
at the receiving station only the code
signals will be received. If. however, an
attempt be made to intercept the signals
by means of a receiver interDOSed be-
tween the sending and receiving stations
both the real message and the meaning
less clicks will appear together. with the
result that the message will be utterly
unintelligible. This must be almost as ir-
rltating to the would-be Taper as Lord
WOlSeleyS plan of splicing a piece of
blind wire chat is, insulating material
with no metallic core) at intervals be-
tween the posts of an enemy's telegraph.
he says this Is much more effective than
the ordinary plan of cutting the wire
merely, because in that case when he re-
covers the line, the enemy knows where
the break IS and has only to repair it.
BY his plan the owner of the line has to
test from post TO post TO discover and
eliminate the obstruction.
