The stage drivers say the roads be-
tween Pallsade and Eureka are 30 soft
that they would mire a mosquito bar.
L. w. Cromer Of the firm of Maupin
* Cromer. has gone to San Francisco to
spend a few weeks in the "shakeopolis."
The Board Of Health has rendered a

during the recent small pox epidemic
here amounted to $2,651.43.
Gray & Jessup have started a steam

Mr.. Jessup is an old hand at the BUSH
ness and comes we'll recommended.
The Eureka Consolidated has at last
declared a dividend Of 81 80 per share.
1t is more than probable that regular
dividends will be declared in the future.
We learn that the Tip Top mine has
been purchased by the Richmond Min.
ing Company for $40. 900 cash. This will.
of course, settle all the troubles between
the two companies.
Some of the hurdy houses of late are
running until broad daylight in the
morning. The boys appear to be making
up for the lost time occasioned by the
closing Of these houses during the small
pox epidemic.
G. L. Broy, from the east side of Dia-
mond mountain. was in town yesterday
with a fine lot Of Young cottonwood
"saplins," suitable for shade trees when
they get older. We acknowledge the
receipt of six beauties. which we shall
plant in front OF the SENTINEL Office.
We have it from the best authority
that a body of ore three feet wide was
struck in the General Lee mine, one oil
the Adams Hill series yesterday. We
are informed that the ore body was
found at a depth of 200 feet in the main
shaft, and that a considerable body was
also found in the tunnel.
McGarry, the gentleman who dis.
covered the district OF that name, was in
town yesterday, and we learn from him
hat water was struck in the Josephine,
the leading mine of the camp, at a depth
of 65 feet. The ledge will be tapped al
a much greater depth within a very
short time.
We learn from q gentleman who was
present that last Saturday one of Pritch.
ards teams, loaded with bullion from
Eureka, ran off the bridge at Palisade,
and the accident came near resulting
disastrously. As it was, one wagon
loaded with bars and one pair OF animals
were precipitated into the river, but
without doing any serious damage.
The chain parting at the end Of the
tongue as the wagon went over, saved
the other animals from a plunge In the
river.
The baby crop in Eureka has been re-
markably good the past year. The best
OF it all, however. is the custom Of hav-
ing the printers drink to the health oil
every youngster at a very early period o
his or her existence. Our boys have
got the thing down finer than anybody's
boys, and some Of them have got a wide
range OF toasts suited for the occasion.
With a proper supply of wine they can
give a new comer a better "send off" In
this world than generally falls to the LOT
of infantile humanity.
The Eureka Consolidated, Of this dis
trict. Is perhaps to-day one of the most
valuable mining properties in the United
States. il not in the world. Certain there
is nothing in Nevada to compare
with it. Late developments establish
the continuity Of the ore. almost beyond
the peradventrre of a doubt, for a dis
lance OF 1000 feet; the entire length Of
| the claim. The ore channel, which has
been penetrated to a depth OF 2l5 feet
from the surface, ranges from 10 to 7C
feet in width. Taking the average o.
the ledge. 10 square feet will yield a tor
OF ore. Estimating the body of ore al.
ready developed to be only 40 feet wide,
2l5 feet deep, and 1000 feet long, and We
have BOG. 666 tons, which, at 800 per ton,
present average assays, would return
the enormous sum of $27,599, $40. But
to be entirely safe let US reduce both the
amount and value OF the ore just one
hall. This would give 1853 1888 tons. at s4s
per ton, the gross yield of which would
be So, o .9S5. That this is far below the
actual value Of The ore now in sight. nc
