MARINE
TENYo SAILS TO-DAY.

The Tenvo Maru, which arrived off
mort lust after midnight yesterday, had
an uneventful trip and did not try to
break any records between San Fcan-
cisco and this port. Stories of trouble
between the officers of the vessel are
denied aboard and the purser IS au-
thority for the statement that the only
cause of any trouble on the ship was
made by one of the helpers in the
engine-room, who disobeyed orders. The
matter was soon settled, as all such
little disturbances are
The Tenyo S official time for the run
up to San Francisco was four days
eighteen hours and fifty minutes, and
this is liable to stand for long time
unless the big boat goes out for an
other trial.
Among the one hundred and six pas
sengers in the cabin this trip are many
of the members of the families of the
fleet officers who are travelling around
the world in company with the war
vessels, as near as possible. The Tenyo
will sail for the Orient today at noon.
s. C. ALLEN HERE.
The bark s. C. Allen, from Grays
Harbor, arrived here yesterday morn
ing after a speedy voyage of fourteen
days. Captain Willer is proud of the
run made by his vessel and feels that
he has badly beaten the yachts which
left San Pedro about the time he left
the northern port. The Allen brought
full load of lumber. Her runs since
the Fourth of July were Isl, 146, 112,

Uninstructed Delegation
to National Convention is Urged

piicable to a changed situation from
that anticipated by the state conven-
ton ~instructing them.
1t shauld be further be borne in
mind that in the other states each
delegate, except the delegate at large,
are not instructed at all by the state
conventions but derive all of their
power and freedom of action from
their congressional district convention
or primaries. This fact frequently
results in delegations being divided in
their preferences and correspondingly
weakened in influence. An lninstruct-
cd delegation, when all of the dele
gates have been elected by a state con
convention, if u~nhampered by in
structions. by intelligent and timely
concert of action, can WELD a power
and an influence superior to a much
larger inharmonious delegation or one
deriving freedom of action.
Some of the wisest presidential
nominations which have been made by
National Conventions
were then entirely unanticipated I'M
til the national convention has ballot
ed many times, and such was nota-
the case in the nomination of Lin
coin and of Garfield. 1t is eminently
proper that states having worthy
'favorite sons seeking the nomi
nation schould instruct their delega-
lion for them, but the states having
40 candidates should select delegates
ike jurors are selected, free from bias.
or no prejudice for any candidate and
right to cast their bollots as seems
light and proper at the time
In view of these facts it would seem
to be the part of wisdom for our state
convention to exercise the greatest
care in choosing a delegation com
posed of men of known ability, poll
integrity, and sufficient acumen
to quickly grasp the nature of an
emergency and then to trust to their
judgment that they will do the right
thing at the most opportune time.

COWBOYS KICK UP GOLD.

H.. II. Shuck arrived yesterday from
Tecopa, a new mininb camp located
in the Kingston mountains, San Ber-

Land & Cattle company that then
owned the ground where the new camp
is located The company had title
to 10000 acres of land, and had 5000
head of cattle. In digging an irri-
eating ditch one day a piece of quartz
was blown out that showed free gold.

it will turn out to be one of the best
districts of the state. He says that
there at least a thousand people in the
camp now and that all roads u rling
there are used by fortune hunters day
and night.

to put their resolution into execution.
First they marched to the Justice

When the excitement had blown

The following from the pen of one
of the most prominent Republicans OF
the state presents some sound reasons
why the Nevada delegation to the Re
publican convention should go unin.
structed:
Among the leading Republicans
there is considerable discussion as
to the advisability of instructing the
Nevada delegation to the Republican
National convention to east its vote
for any particular candidate for the
presidential nomination.
Tt is suggested by many with mucn
apparent logic to support the sugges
tion that to do so would materially
weaken the influence of the delega-
ton in the convention with the cam
paign managers of the various candi-
.ates; would deprive the delegates of
the opportunity of what might be a
wise judgment in the light of add
%,tional information obtained after a
careful analysis of the situation as it
shall develop at the time of the con
test, and would entirely defeat the
possible opportunity of the delegates
to so east their votes that the new
administration would feel most kindly
towards the proposition of extending
to tl~ party in Nevada more ample
recognition in the future, than it has
in the past.
Careful political observers are as
yet unable to say that any candidate
yet mentioned is assured of the nomi-
nation and if such a state of uncer-
tainty continues, it is easy to see that

Shot Gun Mining in Early Days Of Nevada
Pacific Miner.

These recent shotgun episodes
among the mine owners at Rawhidc,
Nevada. recall to mind some Of the
bitter feuds among the miners on the
old Comstock lode, the fight of the
autumn of 1874, when FIVE men were
killed at the Waller Defeat shaft of
the Justice mine, on lower Gold Hill.
The mine was named the Weller De
feat because a man named Weller had
failed to make good after Boosting
that he was able without preliminary
prospecting to sink a shaft that he
was sure would strike q ledge. The
term of derision is all that remains
of the boastful brag, for the last time
/ passed over the surface there was
nothing to show where the buildings
over the shaft had stood.
The shooting scrape grew ont of the
change of control of the Justice mine.
The new superintendent sent his bro
Their, whom he had appointed deputy
superintendent, to take possession of
the mine. The deputy arrived just
before dark accompanied by a dozen
men, all of whom were armed with
revolvers. When they reached the
shaft there was no one willing to give
them possession. The old superniten-
dent had sent a note for the foreman
to yield control of the works to the
new men, but it was delayed in tran
mission. After a brief stay at the
shaft the men started for Walters
Defeat, about a quarter of a mile
away. The deputy superintendent nad
left the men intending to go to Virgin
ia City for instructions, but seeing his
men on the move, ran back and order
ed them to stop, and if his commands
had been obeyed, there would have
been no tragedy.
AS they were talking a voice from
the house over the shaft called out:
keep away One of the invading
party made a steo towards the house
and raised his revolver. There was a
yolley from the shaft house and three
men fell dead.
The deputy superintendent, with
we stern GOODNESS then engaged Inc
men in the shaft in conversation, say
ing that he had rot come for a fight
but that he had the light to take pos
session and would like to enter the

house and show his papers of authority
and from out of the darkness came
a voice saying that he might go alone,
but as he was entering the pace in
response to the invitation b., was shot
dead. Another man of the party was
shot and killed at the same mcnieET.
After that the ,nviders withdrew
and the next morning it was fouLd
that the shaft house was empty. The
%coroner's jury retnrocd a verdict that
death resulted from gunshct wounds
inflicted by parties unknown.
Among the men suspected of doing
the shooting was 3 shot gun miner
named Prentiss, AMI Sc well was the
belief in his guilt that he was lab

mi tier to him in i persona. way.
Most of the men were killed with
buckshot, which was considered Prem
tiss's mark. After that he was more
in demand than ever as a guard for
dinsputed property.
The next notable ruction occurred
when the Justice and the Alta mine
disputed possession of a valuable ore
body that was cut by a long tunnel
which connected the workings of the
two mines. A clash was inevitable.
Captain Sam Curtis was superinten-
dent of the Justice and Colonel Ed,
Boyle was in charge of the Alta as
representing Superintendent Chancel-
lor Derby.
Each side had a score of fighting
men in the depths and preparations
were openly made for a big battle,
Curtis called in the newspaper men
and showed them a big iron clad car
that he had invented. 1t was an ar
senel on wheels, an ore car protected
with a heavyy boiler plate, the front
being pierced with hole through which
tie fighters were to shoot. The Alta
managers refused to show their engines
of destruction, but admitted that they
were ready for the fray. The day be-
