A Great Musical Attraction

The Owl Liquor Company last Satur-
day received from the East a Regina
Sublima piano. 1t was put in place the
same day. and has since been kept busy
pouring forth its melody. The music
of the old style Regina was produced
from a metallic disc record. The music
of the Sublima piano is produced from
punctured rolls of paper, a roll contain.
ing 80 feet. Each Of these rolls plays
five instrumental pieces. and the %
numbers which have already been re-
ceived include the latest popular sele,-
tions. The cost of the instrument, We
learn. was $3.50. To all lovers of good
music the piano is a great attraction.
The mechanism of the instrument il
patterned after the nickel in the slot
machine, and a nickel has to be inserted
for each number played.

Things in a mining way are steadily
improving in Eureka and adjacent dis
tricts. This improvement has been
going on in a quiet way for more than
a year. but 1t has been only within the
past few months that visible signs pre-
sented themselves to indicate the great
amount Of work now going on aud in
prospective in the many mining prop
critics in this and nearby districts.
The Richmond Eureka Company on
Ruby Hill has already done an onorm-
u amount Of preparatory work. and
it Is bnt stating a fact that they have
not as yet completed arrangements to
begin effective operations. To attempt,
however, to even briefly state what has
been done so far in and around the
%company's property would be doing the
subject an injustice by attempting it in
this article. Later on the SENTINEL
intends to give this matter the atten.
ton it SO richly deserves.
The lincoln Mining Company intend
beginning active operations at their
mines about IS miles northeast of Eu-
reka tmore Familiarity known as the
Phillips mines). Parties are now on
the ground, and as soon as the machin.
cry arrives that has been ordered the
construction Of a concentrating mill
will be begun. There are already sew
eral thousand ton Of ore on the dump
and a large quantity blocked u in the
mine awaiting extraction.
w. II. Whitmore Of the New Eureka
Mining Company is expected here
shortly, when development work will be
commenced on the Reeves and Berry
mines in Spring Valley mining district.

undesirable CITIZENS"
While An Important Deal Is
Pending In the East a
Knock Is Registered

That we have in this district persons
who are doing underhanded work in
trying to discourage capital from in.
vesting in mining properties here. there
is now no doubt. We had begun to
cherish the belief that all the knockers
had either died of or sought other fields
in which to ply their vocation; but in
this we were evidently mistaken.
Recently the SENTINEL was informed
that a letter was written from Eureka
to a party in the East, while an import
ant mining deal for properties in this
district was pending. Had the deal in
question gone through it would have
resulted in great benefit to this section.
The party who received this letter,
writing to a friend also in the East.
said:
81 have just received a letter from
Eureka. Nevada, which says that the
owners of the and - mines
ask too much for their properties; that
their large bodies of low grade ore are
in their heads, not in the mines, I'M
covered; and as for ore fit to ship. they
have none in sight"
This is the kind of work that is going
on here now, when all who have the
welfare of the district az heart are do.
ing all in their power to assist in in.
ducing men of capital to b come in
terested ia the mines of this section,
and whose ideal is the upbuilding OF
the old camp.
1t is sad indeed to contemplate that
we are still cursed in having a class OF
this kind among Us. They are persons
who do their evil work in the dark and
have not the moral courage t o publicly
declare what they privately say or
secretly write.
Iu these days of widespread graft
over the land. capital has naturally be-
come cautions in all its investments.
This the knockers are well aware of.
hence the ease in which they are able
to get in is the deadly work. But not.
withstanding this blackmailiug bust
ness. Eureka District has hundreds of
legitimate mining properties within its
borders which only need capital to de,
velop them and return large profits.
and the day is not far distant when this
will be so well known by men of means
seeking honest Investments. that it will
put the knocker completely out Of bust.
