One cut was across Nelson's

inches in length, another three
inches long near the appendix
and the third one on the left side
of his face, starting just below the

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
A Passage at Arms Between
Officers of the County
Government

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Board Of County Commissioners was
held Monday. Present, Commissioners
Fraser. Henderson and Paroni; also the
Clerk and the District Attorney.
The Commissioner and the Auditor
counted the money in the Treasury and
found the same correct, to-wit: $21,-

A list Of the bills allowed will be
found in another column.

records. The sun CT s14, 200 was placed
with the 1. O. @. Whitmore agency,
and $4,000 with the John Pardy agency.
The Commissioners selected the follow.
ing companies:
Fireman's Fund, London g. Lanca.

Underwriters.
George Fiavin was appointed Registry
Agent for Prospect election precinct, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton Of Eugene Geraty.
A communication was received from
citizens at Barth in regard to repairing
the road near the iron mines that has
recently been partly destroyed by the
iron company's operations. The COM
pany now volunteers to put the road
in good condition.
Many a bill comes into the County
that takes the breath out Of those most
potent. grave and reverent seniors to
whom the Act of 81 gives exclusive
power to spend the County money. but
they got an awful shock last Monday
when they saw the bills for three deputy
Sheriffs for the Sd. 4th and 9th Of July.
1t seems that what is known as the
Salary Act" allows the Sheriff Of this
County $3.50 a month, out Of which he
is to pay his deputies. IL he wants any;
but in the exercise Of their police power
it has always been customary here for
the Commissioners to pay the wages Of
such deputies as they think necessary
on days like the Fourth, election day,
ETC.. and the deputies are appointed by
the Sheriff. They and the Sheriff agree
beforehand on the number the Dads
will stand for. and their wages are
allowed by the County.
The Commissioners claim that they
and Sweeney agreed prior to last Fourth
to the hiring Of two deputies on that
day. and they themselves appointed .
Waterman to protect the Court House
and guard against fire.
Sheriff Sweeney claimed that ON &C.
count Of the ball ON the 4th, and the
continued hilarity on the 9th, he thought
1t necessary to employ the number Of
deputies he did, and claimed that he did
not remember that he was to be re-
stricted to only two on the Fourth.
That being the issue. the two sides
commended nightly. and wound up by
telling each other that each was running
its own Office and would not brook any
interference from the other. The Dads
paid the bills this time. as they thought
there might possibly have been an
honest misunderstanding, but from the
tone of their remarks they seemed to
think that as they are responsible for
the County expenditures, they want to
be consulted fully in the future when
the expenditures are made.

KIND a MARKS QUIT eoLDFIELD


Henry Kind and 4. Marks have de-
cided to 60 out Of business In 0oldneld.
Nevada. and have already closed their
store ct that place. The reason for
taking this step is given by the Tonopah
Sun Of August 9. as follows:
"The trouble which occurred 1t Gold
field was no fault Of Marks q Co. Il
grew put Of the fact that the clerks Of
the Tonopah house, with al other Tono-
pah clerks. refused to join the Industrial
Workers Of the World. The clerks Of
the Goldfield house belonged to it. and
IL would have suited the firm very we'll
for the Tonopah clerks TO have joined.
But that was . matter for the clerks
themselves to decide and they were
against it. When the Roberts and Shaw
a~geregatfvu met with . complete rout
in this city. they Immediately began
retaliatory measures ct Goldleld against
houses here having Goldheld branches.
1t transpires that in the evolution OF
the past year there remains just one
such mercantile house and that 10 Marks
& Co.
IAN day Saturday the Marks store
was picketted. The clerks walked out
in response to q call from the I. w. W.
A man in stentorian tones al Saturday
acclaimed that the store RAJ 'unfair."
but found that he could not keep pnr.
chasers out. He appeared on the scene
Monday morning only to be confronted
by a notice that the store was closed
aud that the firm would withdraw from
business at Goldfield."

Special Correspondence to the SENTINEL
Activity in mining in all parts of the
Bullion district, situated partly in Eu-
reka and partly in Lander County. is
becoming greater from day to day.
The Eagle mine on Bullion hill is en-
ploying 25 men and making regular
shipments of high grade galena and
silver ore.
The old Clipper mine has been sold
recently and two shifts are pushing de-
velopment as rapidly as possible under
the management Of Charles Campbell.
The Larson property near the Clipper
was purchased recently by Lee LarkiD,
whose exploration work was o re-
warded by opening mp a vein Of lead
silver ore carrying over 800 per ton,
u carload of which is already sacked
for shipment to the smelter.
w. s. Montgomery and Tom Regner
have purchased large interests at Mud
Springs and are preparing to put on
men to develop the property.
The Gold Quartz Mining Company is
working two shifts and pushing their
exploration work on as fast as possible.
One lead is being prosecuted by a
drift from the shaft and has exposed
the ore for a width Of ~ feet, and the
end is not yet. The ore encountered
is principally Of $50 grade. but enough
high grade ore is extracted to pay work
ing expenses. A car has just been
shipped carrying over 800 per ton.
The Mills property is working two
shifts and sinking an inclined shaft.
Some of the finest ore Of the district is
being taken from this property.
The town of Tenabo is in q thriving
condition. Preparations are being
made for putting in water works. and a
new stage line and feed corral will be
established in a few days by Martin
PHILIPPINE OF Beowawe. The distance
from Beowawe to Tenabo is 25 miles.
Work in the district would be pro-
crossing much faster but for the
scarcity Of labor. and this in spite of
the fact that wages are 81 per day for
eight hours.

GOldfeld's Big Payroll

An inspection of the Miners Unions
books shows that there are 1000 work.
men in the Goldfeld district, and that
over 1.400 Of these are working for
wages, the others being in the hills
looking for mines. The wage roll ex-
ceeds $500. 900 q month. and nearly the
whole of this sum is spent every month
in Goldfield, as the average miner is a
good liver, and a free spender wherever
found.
