The SENTINEL learned this week
that the Eureka : Nevada Railway
was asked to handle 900 tons of ore
monthly from Mineral Station to
Palisade. The request was made by
the United States Mining & Smelt-
ing Company and the ore is to be
supplied from the mines at Mineral
Hill for the company's smelling plant
at Kennel. California. The railway
company is unable to handle this
amount of tonnage with its present
equipment. but has offered to take
over 600 tons monthly. The Mineral
Hill mines carry considerable anti
mony. and this metal product in
these pres is thought to have caused
the present demand.

EURtkANs' TRIP TO SHELTON
Dancing, Baseball, Picnicking and
Strenuous Automobiling Fill
Up Three Days of Pleasure
and Activity.

The SENTINEL is indebted to Jud-
son Hooper, a member of the Eu-
reka ball team. for the following &C
count Of the ball game and incidents
of the trip made to Shelton last Sat-
urday by a large number of Eureka's
young people:
After wading through two feet of
ice cold water and carrying four ears
through the mud. the Eureka Base
ball team and rooters finally reached
Shelton at IL o'clock Saturday night
fol- a return game with the Shelton
boys. Railroad Canyon was the
cause of grief and worry to the Eu-
reka crowd, being badly washed from
a cloudburst that struck the canyon
about one o'clock that afternoon.
Several of the girls and boys greatly
enjoyed a ten mile hike through the
mud and water, but we're in very
high spirits upon their arrival at
Shelton.
After reaching Shelton and securing
something to eat. the crowd partic-
ipated in a social dance given in their
honor. amusing their partners with
hard luck stories of the trip. The
dance broke up at $50 Sunday morn-
ing. At 100 p. m. Sunday baseball
suits were to be seen walking across
the diamond making preparations
for the game to follow. At 2, the
two teams were hard at it, disput-
ing every possible point and fighting
with all the energy that the trip and
dance permitted. During the first
inning. Eureka put three scores away
for safe keeping. and inning two
found Shelton without a point. 1t
vas very close from start to finish
and at the close of the ninth inning
the score was tied-1l to IL. The
last inning was played to decide the
game. but Eureka had reached her
limit and Shelton brought in l more
score, winning with the score IL to
IL. No big money was up on the
game but several packages of gum
exchanged hands after the game in
payment of debts. The Eureka girls
won regulations as rooters. and if it
had not been for them Eureka
would bave been beaten much worse.
A dance was in progress shortly
after the game, which was only in
terrupted by a call for supper. 1t
again resumed shortly after and
lasted until about IL o'clock.
Monday morning at 7:30 found the
ready for the home trip.
Bad roads and tire trouble caused
considerable delay during the day.
All INDUCED in a water fight at Cold
Greek. getting wearing apparel very
wet and making it very unpleasant
w. A. Moore favored the
with much needed refresh
ments at his ranch, which they en-
greatly. Upon arriving at the
foot of Newark summit the cars ran
out of gas. causing further delay.
Although it was $50 Tuesday morn
ing before the cars all reported at
home. everyone expressed having had
good time and would not have
missed the trip.

less Bioodshed"-coneIudins Por-
tions Of Address Of Tuesday
Amsterdam, July l7.-The Austro- Hun
garian government regards the war as
"senseless and purposeless bloodshed-
and believes it may be ended at the
moment when the Allies again manifest
feelings OF humanity" Baron Burian,
the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister,
made this statement in the concluding
portion Of his address to the Austrian n
and Hungarian premiers Tuesday, ac-
cording TO dispatches from Vienna.
After declaring that the Allies would
not succeed in their purpose OF sowing
dual monarchy. he said: THE reso-
lutte battle Of defense must now be car
ried on TO a good and until it brings US
the security necessary for our future
peaceful existence"
He added that the Allies insofar az
they are not aiming at the acquisition
of territory" are lighting against a
windmill.
I'm spite Of an he said. I'VE look
ever more hopefully towards the peo-
pies at war with US TO see whether
at last they have been delivered from
the blindness which. after fearful af-
f,ictions in four years Of war. is driv-
ing the world ever further into that de-
struction which they can avert if they
only will"
Baron Burian said that his confidence
was based on the war alliances. par
ticularly the old alliances with Ger
many. He said that Austria and Ger
many would seek means of extending
the alliance so that It would re ade-
quate for all the requirements of new
times.
The alliance will henceforth. as hith-
erto," ne said. "preserve its exclusively
.defensive character.
Economic. military and other rela-
tons in the future are to be drawn
closer.
The agreement must comprise soiu-
ton, with due regard to desires Of the
populations. of the questions connected
with the rebrth of Poland.
"Henceforth the alliance will not
mean a threat or unfriendlness towards
anyone. Nothing will be included in it

formation Of counter groups. Every
thing which In the future can be real

lea que of nations shall find in our alli-
ance no obstacle, but a favorable

Austria expected after the war. he
said. TO remain in closer relations with
Turkey and Bulgaria.
