Death of Infant Child

Albert John, the little son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William A. Holder of Eureka, passed away
Sunday evening after a few days illness OF
Summer complaint. A dozen or more chill
dren and several adults of Eureka have been
troubled with this Illness the past two weeks,
but the little Holder child was the only one
dangerously stricken, its case seeming hope
less from the very beginning. Medical treat
ment and nursing failed to even check or
stay the disease. The child was born in Eu-
reka and aged one year, 8 months and 10
days. The funeral was held from the family
residence on Mob Hill Tuesday afternoon,
the services at the home and grave being con-
Quoted by Judge A. L. Fitzgerald, and a
young choir sang Jesus. Lover of My Soul"
and "Jesus Is Calling" at the home, and
Safe In the Arms of Jesus" at the grave.
A number of sympathizing friends of the
family attended the funeral and followed the
remains to the Odd Fellows cemetery where
the little one was laid to rest.

EQUAL FRANCHISE SOCIETY NOTES
An Evening of Enjoyment Promised All
Who Attend the Society's Ball =.

The meeting of the Equal Franchise So
ciety on Tuesday evening was called to order
by the Vice President, Miss Efie Father, and
the usual routine of business was transacted.
One of our young men was heard to remark
not long ago that he supposed we women in
tended showing the men just where they
stood at the Leap Year Dance. This young
man has but a slight idea of the great estee m
and respect in which we hold our fellow
townsmen. else he would realize thst it would
take more than one dance to show them just
where they stand, even though we danced
until sunrise.
The diligent efforts the members are max
ing to further the success of the Leap Year
Dance will no doubt be rewarded, as the
dance promises to be one of unusual novelty
and enjoyment.
The home of Mrs. james Kautz was a scene
of mirth and gaiety Tuesday evening, for the
members of the Equal Franchise Society had
planned a most successful surprise in honor
of Mrs. o. ID. Green and Miss Norma Green,
who expect to leave shortly for California.
After the meeting adjourned bevy of invited
guests were admitted. A very elaborate pro
gramme had been arranged, and every one
contributed their share toward the evenings
entertainment. which consisted of vocal and
instrumental selections, recitations and dane
ing. One of the guests remarked that she
thought ''the Equal Franchise Society had
cornered more than its share of Eureka
talent" Both Mrs. Green and Miss Green
we're the recipients of many earnest express
sions Of appreciation for the good work they
have done for the cause. During the evening
the d~aintiest of dainty refreshment, were
served, and the hour was late when they
parted, all agreeing that a most enjoyable
evening had been spent.
A special meeting will be held at the home
of Mrs. A. p. Tenvoord on Wednesday even
ing, September 4, at 1880 o'clock.
Don't forget that the most important dance
of the year 1912 will be held at the Eureka
Opera House on the evening of Labor Day.
September 2. We particularly desire the
men who have no escort (, attend.
so we can show them what a really good time
the Equal Franchise Society is capable of Civ
ing them. Don't forget the date-Septem-
Der 2. Pass CHAIRMAN.

Good Ore From SilVGradO

Charles RIDDEN and Frank Kopp re-
Gently shipped AZ tons of ore from the
Washington mine at Silverado, about
Ia miles southeast Of Eureka. to the
shelters at Salt Lake. The returns
from the smelters show that one lot of
the ore assayed 1884, ounces in silver,
47.S lead, 5.S copper. a value per ton Of
si5I.97. Lot No. 2 went 5S.3 ounces in
silver, 49, lead, 2 8 copper, 1919 zinc,
1873 iron, giving Il value of $5S.72 per
ton.
This is the second shipment of Messrs.
Ruden aud Kopp since the railroad re-
sumed operating. aud on account of the
long wagon haul into Eureka only the
higher grades of the ore is sacked and
shipped. The low grade is being piled
on the dump to be later worked by con
centratiop, and it is now hoped to have
one of these plants / n operation at
Silverado by next Spring. There are a
number of other good producing prop

SENTENCED TO THIRTY DAYS
For Obtaining q Clothing Outfit From
Nick Ratio Under False P~rstenses

Thomas Gardner. charged with obtaining .
suit OF clothes. underwear and q pair Of shoes
valued at $40 from Nick Ratio under false
pretenses, was convicted by . jury In Justice
L W. Cromer's court on Wednesday, and
later was sentenced TO serve 90 days in the
County Jail and ordered to return the outfit
TO Ratio.
Gardner had been working ct the Windfall,
but got into trouble with another workman
and was discharged. He came 10 town and
cashed his $40 check. after which he visited
Ratios store and fitted himself out with IN
entire new outfit, telling Ratio that he was
working at the Windfall and would settle
with him on the 10th of next month. Shortly
afterward Ratio learned Gardner had been
discharged and had left town.
1t was learned that he had struck out In the
direction Of Newark Valley, and word was
sent out to Sheriff Mahonsy, who had been
at the Newark Mill for several days, to keep
q lookout for Gardner.
Gardner arrived at the Newark Mil about
10 o'clock the next morning after leaving Eu-
reka, talked with the Sheriff for some time,
and then struck out down the valley. The
messenger from Eureka arrived about an hour
later with the news that Gardner was wanted.
The Sheriff ct once started with team and
overlook his man at the Handley ranch. where
Gardner was having o lunch. He made no
objection to returning to Eureka with the
Sheriff, and they arrived here about 8 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
At the trial Gardner appeared without coun-
sci and conducted his own defense, and al
though he stated to the court that he was
not familiar with the court procedure Of Ne
vada, he conducted his case in q manner that
showed he wac not unfamiliar with general
court proceedings, and, considering the weak
ness of his case. made q very fair defense.
As Gardner is now without other clothes
than those ordered to be returned to Ratio,
the Sheriff's Office is in q quandary regarding
another outfit for the prisoner.

100 STAMP MILL FOR BUcKHORh
Machinery Ordered and Work on Both
Mill and Mine Commenced


The SENTINEL has some cheering
news from the north end Of the county
this week. The Buckhorn Mines Cor.
poration. Of which George WingEeid is
owner, is to open and actively work the
Buckhorn property at once.
the SENTINEL learns onoficially that
the machinery for a 100 stamp mill has
been ordered. and arrangement have
been made between the company and
the Eureka Nevada Railway I o transfer
all supplies necessary to put the mine
and mill in operation.
As a result of the agreement which
was very speedily reached. as we under
stand. between the consulting engineer
of the Buokhorn Company and Mr.. Sex.
ton Of the railway, q new intra. State
tariff will be put in effect as early as
the Nevada Railroad Commission will
permit.
Mr.. Sexton has arranged to put in all
necessary sidIngs to properly serve the
company. aud he had this work com.
menced II Blackburn Tuesday morning.
Il is understood that the electric power
to be used in operating both the mine and
mill will be generated at Beowawe by
steam from crude oil. and a transmission
line run from that place to Buckhorn, a
distance Of about 32 miles.

The Goldfield Tribune of August 20,
which speaks authoritatively regarding
Mr.. Wingheld's mining interests. CON
firms the SENTINEL's statement in the
following article regarding the plans of
the Buckhorn Mines Company:
The Buckhorn Mines Company has been de-
voting its efforts for the past two years to de-
veloping ore and has blocked out 300, 900 tons
above the 300-foot level, the metallic content
Of which is nearly all gold and which averages
around 50 per ton. A long tunnel has been
started and a mill will be erected near the
portal of this tunnel.
To handle the output of the mine oil burn
ing engines will be placed at a convenient
point on the Southern Pacific and Western Pa
ciic railroads and the power will be trans
mitted from there to the mine, a distance of
about % miles. There is practically no stock
issued in this company, other than held by
George Wing6eld and associates, the original
incorporators.
j. W. Hutchinson, superintendent of the
Goldfeld Mines Company's reduction plant,
will have charge of the drawing of plans for
the Buckhorn C~ompany's mill, a fact which
will insure the latter company's having a
plant capable of being operated with the
highest degree of economy and efficiency.
The Buckhorn Company has been conduct
ing mill tests for a year or more and expert
enced a considerable amount of trouble for a
time in working out a successful treatment
process, but this has now been satisfactorily
solved and the plant will be built without de-
Jay. The ore will be mined and milled at an
exceedingly low cost, and the mill Will have
a capacity of between 800 and 400 tons per
day.

PRESERVING EGGS.

Now that the season Of cheaper
eggs is at hand there may be some
readers who will want to preserve
some for fall and winter use. One OF
the best methods Of a good many that
have been tried is by the use Of the
water glass solution. or sodium silicate.
This chemical costs about 50 cents a
quart and can be got at most any drug
store. This should be thoroughly mix
ed with water that has been boiled and
cooled at the rate Of a quart Of the wa
ter glass 70 nine quarts OF water The
best receptacle % use is an earthen-
ware vessel. which should be scalded
out before being used Only clean.
fresh and uncracked eggs should be
put down. The jar containing the
eggs should be put in a cool place
and covered with sacking or a board
cover TO prevent evaporation OF the
solution. Experience shows that eggs
laid in April and May will keep longer
than those secured in other months.
