an eminent yet modest local journalist
who sought to visit Portland inengnitc
was given much distressing publicity
by metropolitan newspapers. The Ore

printed the subioined interview:

Boyd comes to town we win print what

not to be quoted at all. but when such
q fate is unavoidable we want to be
quoted correctly. We referred to Boyd

the Union Mines Company at that
place. He says a drift run from the
shaft at the 2OO-foot level broke into
a body of rich lead ore that gives
every promise of proving to be a
bonanza.

RAILWAY BLOCKADE BROKEN
Train Reaches Eureka Tuesday
Evening From Palisade After
Five Days Hard Strug-
gle With Packed
Snow

The blockade that interrupted all
traffic over our local railway from
Saturday. January %, to Tuesday,
February s. was broken oil the even
ing of the latter date when three
engines and ten cars arrived in Eu-
reka from Palisade after a five days
struggle with the snow. J.E. Sex
ton, general manager of the road.
was in charge of the train, and with
a crew of 20 men and a snow pillow
and fanger they finally broke through
the hardened drifts of snow that
filled the cuts over the Garden Pass
summit from one to ten feet in depth.
They left Palisade early Friday
morning and succeeded in getting as
far as Alpha Saturday afternoon, but
the work of clearing the road to this
point had used up so much coal that
one of the engines was detached and
sent back to Palisade for more fuel
while the balance of the force con-
tinued bucking snow in the cuts.
Persistent work finally topped the
summit, but it was found that the
cuts on this side were even harder to
penetrate, the snow being packed
harder and deeper. and several times
when the whole train was used for
momentum in trying to buck the
snow in the drifts the snowplow left
the rails and started to climb the
hard packed drifts. Different means
of surmounting these difficulties
tried and the train finally
reached Diamond valley, and from
there into Eureka it was almost plain
little trouble being expert
enced from there up the canyon.
This train experienced no trouble
upon it's return to Palisade Wednes-
day. A special train from Palisade
came through Thursday, and the
regular train reached Eureka on Fri
day on time.
Barring a washout on the road,
which is not anticipated under the
present ideal thawing weather that
is permitting the water to penetrate
into the unfrozen earth and absorb
the greater portion of the run-of.
it is not thought that the local rail-
way will have any further serious
trouble this Winter.

OF THEODORE pASTORINO
Body Brought Here From Reno for
Burial in the Family Plot

The funeral of Theodore Morris
Pastorino, who died at Reno on Feb
ruary 4 and whose body arrived here
by train Tuesday, was held from the
Knights of Pythias Hall in Eureka
on Thursday afternoon.
The young nan was operated upon
for appendicitis at Reno on January
%, when it was found that the ap-
pendix had been ruptured from
some unknown cause, and this fatal
attack was the result of the un-
fortunate accident.

the funeral cortege to be made up of
sleighs and cutters, the body being
conveyed to the cemetery on a
draped platform placed on bobsleds.

DEATH OF ANGUS McG|LuVRAY
Passes Away at San Francisco
And Remains Brought To
Eureka For Burial

The body of Angus McGillivray,
whose death occurred at San Fran
cisco on February a, as announced
in last weeks SENTINEL. arrived here
by train about noon Thursday, &C.
companied by his widow and infant
daughter. and mother-in-law. Mrs.
Mary Fulton. They were delayed
at Palisade since Monday owing to
their train from San Francisco being
several hours late that morning and
not making connection with u To-
cal train.
Mr.. McGillivray was taken from
here to San Francisco on January %
in a critical state of health. and was
delayed en- route over the Western
Pacific several days by a landslide at
Keddie. This long strenuous trip
caused him to reach San Francisco
in a much weakened state. and while
his friends at first felt encouraged
and hopeful for his recovery, he
gradually failed until the end
came.
The deceased has been a resident
of Eureka County for about seven
years, coming here from Nye Coun-
ty. He has engaged in mining, and
later in teaming at Buckhorn and Un-
ion. He was married to Miss Chris
tina Fulton in Eureka on November
30, 1915, and shortly after moved
his bride to Union, where they have
since resided. He was attacked
with spotted fever last Summer and
was taken from Union to San Fran
cisco for medical treatment. This
disease apparently undermined his
constitution, for he has not been
strong since, as was shown when he
was overcome by gas in the mines at
Union just before Christmas and
came to Eureka for rest and to re-
cuperate.
This poisoning of the system could
not be eliminated, as his kidneys
were in a weakened condition from
| his previous illness and not capable
of throwing off the increased i'm
purities.
Besides his widow and infant
daughter, he is survived by two SIS
ters in the East, a brother in Nova
Scotia, and a brother in Arizona. He
was a native Of Nova Scotia and
aged "a years. l month and s days.
The funeral was held in Eureka
Friday afternoon from the home of
Mrs. Mary Fulton on Mob Hill. The
burial services were conducted by N.
P. Morgan, and the hymn. asleep
In Jesus" was rendered at the home
by Mrs. George Winters and the
Misses Efie and Althea Father. A
large number of friends paid their
last tribute of respect by attending
the funeral and following the re-
mains to the Odd Fellows cemetery,
where they were laid to rest.
