THIRTY-NIME YEARS AGO
News Items From the SENTINEL
Files Of September 2, 1872, to
September 8, 1872

Judge +. II. Harmon yesterday en-
tered on the discharge OF his duties a.
Justice Of the Peace Of this township.
Pay day and the miners election to-
eether brought an unusually large num-
Der Of men to town yesterday and last
night. Main street about nigbtfall was
q perfect jam for several blocks.
". L. Pritchard yesterday purchased
the entire property Of the Nevada Trans
portstion Company. consisting Of several
hundred mules, horses. wagons. etc.
We did not learn the amount, but the
figures must have been large. For
some time the companies have been run
ming a bitter opposition. and both claim
to have lost heavily. We presume
freight rates into Eureka will now take Q
slight advance.
@. b. Rustin, agent for the Omaha
Refining Works, was in Eureka yester-
day to investigate something Of the
capacity Of our furnaces to supply lead
bullion for the Eastern market. We
understand he proposes to purchase
bullion either at the furnaces or deliver
ed at the railroad. and that tbs Omaha
works are Of . capacity to separate any
desired amount.
George W. Kinney yesterday brought
to this Office one Of the richest specimens
Of ore We have ever seen in this district.
1t was obtained from the Paul Jones
mine on Coy Hill. and was ''lousey"
with horn silver. Competent judges
value the specimen at $4,000 per ton.
There is plenty OF good ore in sight in
the mine. but it is not all, Of course, as
rich as the sample under notice. The
average Of mine assay taken right
through the ledge was $3.50 per ton.
An evidence Of the increasing value of
mines ia this locality is seen in the fact
that no sooner is q good mine visited
and examined by capitalists or their
agents, than the owner Of every location
near said mine commences surveying

and in some cases OVERLAPPING with their
lines the very mine offered for sale.
Such a procedure took place yesterday
in the vicinity Of several good mines on
Prospect Mountain, which the superin-
tendent of the Lemon mill had the
temerity to examine for his company.
Consolidate, gentlemen, consolidate,
and thus avoid vexations lawsuits and
never ending animosities.
Adams Hill is becoming one of the
most active places in Eureka district,
and there is every indication that the
parties in interest will be fully paid.
The Adams Hill Company has its hoist
ing works constantly running and is now
getting good ore below the 200 foot level.
There is a good substantial building
over the machinery, and the boarding
house OF the company is one OF the
largest in the camp. Immediately east
and on the same bill is located the
works of the Louisville Company. The
mines Of this company are producing
fine ore in good Quantity. A few hum
dred feet still further east are the mines
of the Magnolia Company. which are
showing good ore at q depth sufficient to
prove that the bill has mines that 20

THRILLING EXPERIENCE IN
NEWARK's BIG RANGE FIRE
Two Herders and W. A. Moore's
Band of Sheep Narrowly
Escape Destruction

Edi'or SENTINEL: In your article
describing the recent big range fire in
newark Valley in the SENTINEL OF
August 20, which was nicely written
and described the events as thew were
to I, and we are all rejoicing that
there was no more loss to property than
that mentioned in your article. there
was a most important and dramatic
part OF the drama left out.
On the first day of the fire nv sheen
were grazing on the Minoletti ranee.
some two miles from thu spot where
the IRE started. Between the sheen
n the fire there was an unusually
heavy growth Of s~agebrush the entire
distance, and with the wind blowing a
gale the fire swept toward the sheep
with rapid strides, threatening destruc.
ton to both the sheep and the herder
in charge of the band.
To the north was a bare ridge that
offered the only chance Of retreat to a
place of safety, bat to reach this the
sheep had to make a steep climb. The
sheep were ewes and Spring lambs, and
the time IL m-the hottest part of the
day. Any Of your readers of this ar.
ticle that are acquainted with the
nature OF these animals are aware Of
the fact that it is q slow proposition to
move them at all during the heat of the
day, but in this instance it had to be
done.
My partner, Simon Aizpuria, and the
herder worked with a big black smoke
surrounding and choking them even
when the fire was a mile away, which
vas approaching them with the speed
of the wind. They were but sheepmen,
but were human aud supposed to have
souls. Imagine their feelings. What
a suspense. Ny partner, working to
save his property; the herder. doing
his duty. To describe all they suf-
fered from the smoke and heat before
gaining a place Of refuge on the ridge
with their band Of sheep would require
the pen of q Hsggard-mine is too
blunt; but the race was won By those
innocent little lambs aud shaggy old
ewes there in the face OF that sea Of
flames.
After getting their charges safely on
the ridge the two sheepmen returned to
get their beds. but the fire by this time
had nearly reached their camp. aud al
though the herder made a desperate at
tempt to secure his bed, he had to
abandon it to the flames. but not before
his hat band caught fire and the smoke
and flames had nearly claimed him too.
He could stand no longer. but rolled
down the hill to a place Of safety.
Had it been necessary for the sheep
to have rome half a mile farther to have
reached a place Of safety. I would have
lost my entire bunch. Ny partner in
telling me OF the struggle they had gone
through said that many times they
were about to give up the fight and
leave the sheep to the flames, so suffo.
eating was the smoke.
The fire started from unknown
causes. likely natural combustion /;
don't know which. but IL was a hum

never been over the road, their present
trip to Eureka was made for the pur-
pose OF obtaining a view of the country

ranch, where the food waters did con.
siderable damage q the ~roadbed, and
are reported to be surveying a new
route in the foothills on the west side
Of the valley.
While in Eureka Superintendent
Randolph said that he was without any
information regarding the plans Of Mr..
Whittell, but this preliminary survey
work looked good to him and he be-
lieved the road would be rebuilt.

The Baseball Game

Although a stiff wind was blowing.
quite a crowd was present at the ball
game between the Windfall and Eureka
mines on Labor Day. The big score
tells in itself that the game was a case
of hit and run. but nevertheless the
partisans of each side had plenty OF
opportunities for cheering their respec-
tive nine.
The game started with q rush in the
first inning. and was give and take for
five innings.
Up to the sixth inning the Windfall
was ahead, with the Eureka a very
close second. In the seventh inning
the Eureka boys started plugging and
passed their opponents. and won the
game with an inning to their credit.
The following is the line up.
