Inspection Of Buckhorn Mines By u. S.
Company IL Most Encouraging
The SENTINEL is still unable to give
any news regarding the reconstruction
of the E. & p. Railway from Palisade
to Eureka.
While it is known here that G. E.
Allen and ]. Fewson Smith, head off,
Gals of the mining department of the
United States Mining and Smelling
Company, have been making a thorough
inspection of the Buckhorn Mining
Company's properties at Buckhorn for
the past week. it is not learned whether
it was being done with q view OF as
certaining the probable tonnage from
those mines, or with the object Of pur-
chasing the properties. There are all
kinds of rumors afloat-one to the effect
that George Wingfeld has given the
United States people an option on the
property for about So. 900. 900. Another
is that parties have recently been me-
potiating for options on several Pin
Valley ranches that carry water rights
of ample volume sufficient for all smelt-
ing and milling purposes.
Whether the recent inspection made
at Buckhorn has to do with the tonnage
or the purchase of the property, either
proposition augurs we'll for the early
reconstruction of the railroad.
While the uncertainty Of the time
when the road will be rebuilt is causing
great anxiety among the people here
and hurting all kinds Of business, hard
ly any one doubts that it will be rebuilt.
The known tonnage from this district
and the men bodies of ore already
developed and blocked out at Buckhorn
insure beyond question the necessary
tonnage for the investment Of the re.
quired capital for the rebuilding OF the
E. & P. Railway from Palisade.

CARD FROM OSCAR ]. SMITH
Reno. Nevada. June 5. 1910.

reno. Nevada. June D, lSlV.
EDITOR EUREKA SENTINEL:
Information has reached me that the
people Of Eureka County are very much
incensed as against my wife, her father
and myself on account of the bank
ruptcy proceedings which we have in
stituted in the United States District
Court at Carson, and hence l desire to
say q word in explanation:
We called a meeting Of our creditors
which met here in Reno on March 81.
We presented statements Of assets and
liabilities. All creditors had notice of
che meeting, aud nearly every creditor
was here represented except The Eu-
reka County Bank. We asked for time
within which to repair our fortunes and
pay our creditors dollar for dollar.
After going over our affairs thorough.
ly the unanimous opinion of those here
present IA that We had better go
through bankruptcy aud start again
with a clean slate. The bankruptcy
proceedings are pursuant to hat advice.
We have no disposition to ''welch."
In time we believe that We can pay
every cent we owe in full. We have
nothing concealed. We have given up
everything except what little is exempt
by law.
We have many friends left. We can
get the necessary backing for enter
prises which we have in view. We
can make money and pay our debts I;
but we could accomplish nothing unless
our creditors would give as the needed
extensions or else by going through
bankruptcy protect ourselves from those
who would be blocking our efforts at
every step by suits and attachments.
When we can pay we will. We have
lost more than everybody else. A large
share of our losses we're directly or in.
directly caused by agencies beyond our
control. such as the San Francisco fire,
the Goldield labor troubles, the slump
in Southern Nevada, and the panic.
AS to the indictments which have
been found against my brother, my
father-in-law and myself, l have moth.
ing to say except that l do not consider
it seemly to either prosecute or defend
through the press matters which are
properly before the courts. Let the
law take its course. We will make the
best defense we can. of course, and if
convicted my brother and myself will
take our punishment like men, as will
also my father.in-law if he be yet on
earth.
These prosecutions seriously hamper
our efforts toward making the money
necessary to pay our debts. We have
harmed nobody Intentionally. We
have doubtless used bad judgment. but
we are the greatest sufferers ourselves.
But we ask no quarter; and if with
black hearts and malice aforethought
we have broken any laws of the State of
Nevada, we are willing to abide the
consequences.
/ do not discuss the affairs of The Eu-
reka County Bank-its s~olvency or in
solvency or anything pertaining to it
as those are matters directly involved
in the proceedings now before the
courts.
We desire to thank our friends for
their kindly sentiments and expressions
| OF belief in our good faith and ultimate
| success. and we believe that time will
| show that their confidence has not been
misplaced. OSCAR j. SMITH.

AowOlsHELL IS DEFIANT.

The mayor of Douglas has written a letter to the editor of the Miner iD which he rattles off lot of stuff about how "I invited wickersham" and .I invited Shackletord and some for him" and "I called the meeting" andn "I invited shacklefOrd and some miners and newspaper men and pre- yaricatOrs." The mayor then says "I would like to meet the editor of
 the Miner face to face. would tell him what I though of him. and make him swallow his false statements"
 Gee! what picket fence of pro- nouns this eat! !em-aliye BOscO throws out. He fairly shutters out his Ills. he is so angwy. All of this comes of our having compared his treatment of distinguished guest with that of the gentlemanly mayor of Ketchikan. This chaw'em-up mayor shows his training in this letter. Having nothin in the way of argument to bolster up their cause, the foreign rule crowd resorts to bluff and brass knuckles. or course this mayor doesn't really intend to make us swallow anything. That's just one of his profound argu- ments for gang rule.-Ketchikan Min

IT MUST BE so

The Juneau Record insist that Alaska Is a district and not a terri tory. In commenting on the subject the Valdez Prospector has this to say
 Congress in 1906 passed law which provides for enacting the clause:
 That the people of the territory of Alaska shall be represented by a Del egate In the House of Representa-. tiyes'.
 Section F of the delegate act ere. ates a canvassing board for the "ter. rltory." Section l3 of the same act prescrgbes certain duties for leach commissioner in the Territory of Alaska"
 Such ignorance on the part Of Con gress would be ipexcusaOle if you fail to remember htat on May s, 1906 ,he Juneau Record had not begun the campaign of education to show that Alaska is only a district. and Gov. Clark had not put the district brand upon the province.
 As a further excuse for its ignOr- ance Congress had the judicial find ing of the supreme court that Alas ka is one of the territories of the Un- tied States" without the Juneau Rec ord in the other end of the scale to tilt the ultimate judicial tribunal sky ward At that time probably neither Congress nor the supreme court had ever run across the dictum of the Record
 But what possible apology can President Taft offer for writing of tn Territory of Alaska" in his annual message after the Junau Record aHd Gov. Clark had turned on the light, He puts himself in the Sary Camp class since it has become clear that there aint no sIch person" as the territory of Alaska.
