Insr DlrMtlSH A boat the Start. The Sunday School scholars of St. James’ Church will spend to-morrow, July 10th, at the Italian ranch, enjoying the pleasures of a picnic. The first Church bell will ring at S o’clock A. and second at fi o’clock, according to the notice given last Sunday. The Eureka Brass Band, which will accompany the picnicers, will be present at the ringing of the second bell, and will then favor us with some appropriate music, until the procesaion starts for the Iresh and invigor ating air of the country. The drivers of teams are especially requested not to allow any one to be seated in tlieir wagons or carriages until all those attending—headed by the Sunday school scholars, teachers and parents, shall have enterixl the vestry room door of the church, and passed down the isle, entering the carriages at the front door. This is done to pre vent any confusion at the starting. Persons who have kindly consented to send their teams will please have them in readiness, at the church, at 6 o'clock, or as soon thereafter as possible. A gen eral invitation is given to all the friends of the scholars of tit. James' Sunday School to bo present and to take part in the en joyments of the day. THE FIBE AT Dl'CKWATEB. Farther Particulars Begrardlag It. Learning that Mr*. H. C. Blackwell, a widow lady who kept the station at Duck water was in town, a Sextixel reporter yesterday called on her to obtain any addi tional particulars of the late fire. that she might be able to give. The lady states that on the evening of the fire she took her children to visit a neighbor a few miles distant, at whose house was a dance, and attributes her absence from home as a providential escape from death, as owing to the peculiar situation of the rooms in which herself and children sleep, she believes they mnst inevitably have perished had they been at home, as escape would hare been impossible. Brown, the owner of the ranch, was very badly burned in his efforts to save Mr. Voung, the latter asserting that, had he not been rescued at the time he was by Mr. Brown, he must hive been cunsuinxl in the burn ing building, as he was wholly unconscious when taken out. Mrs. Blackwell has lost everything she possessed except the cloth ing herself and children wore. She is a widow with five children, wholly depend ent upon her exertions for support, and is desirous of again bnilding the station, as it at least affords her a livelihood. The charitably disposed can do no better act than to offer her a helping hand in her distress. THE TYIO HOMICIDE. What the **MentiaeI’e*' Correspon dent Nays About It. Hume mention of the rccont homicide at Tybo has already appeared in these col umn*. The Hextinel's correspondent at that place give* further details of the af. fair aa follows : Ttbo, July 6, 1878. Enrroa Hextixel : Our town was the scene of a bloody tragedy about 3 o’clock this morning. A msn named Jerry Coifney stabbed and killed, almost in stantly, another in a drunken brawl. The murdered man's name was James Cahill, and was generally considered a harmless, inoffensive man, whose worst failing was driukiug too much, occasionally. He was a miner, aged about 30 years, and a native of Ireland, lint little is known of the mur derer, who is in custody. The acconnts of tho e who witnessed tlie affray all agree that it was a most wanton act of bloodshed, Cahill being entirely unarmed. There is some talk of uiet.'iug out summary punish ment, bet wiser counsel* will probably prevail, and the law allowed to take its course. IT.I i: DI NT. Glen Dndley was beaten by Bod Oak in the half-mile dash at Carson. Time, 1:19H. An unclaimed telegram remains in the office for John McDonald. Mr. H. 8. Bullock returned to Eureka last night from an extended pleasure trip. The ball of the Rescue Hose Company netted them $151 50. The Albion Mining Company hare ap plied for patents to their ground. The Grand Jury meets at 10 x. x. to day. All members are expected to be on hand. A letter addressed to Jacob Jacoby, 383 Jessie street, Han Francisco, is held for postage at the Eureka Post Office. The Fourth ol Jnly Finance Committee is $110 short of coin to meet the bills con tracted in preparing for the celebration. Mr. Joaoph Winzell returns to his ranch thia morning to attend the big rodeo in that neighborhood. ’ The attention of coallmrncrs is directed to an advertisement of Huperintendent Donnelly, under the head of “ New To day." Coffney killed Cahill in Tybo by stab bing him in the groin, severing the main artery, with an ordinary pocket-knife. Decease! has a sister residing on Baby Hill. Peter Cox, the man whose wife obtained a warrant for his arrest for an assault and battery, has put out, Officer McKay being unable to find him. Miss Jennie Wethercd and her cousins, Miss Hallie and Rachel Vance, returned to Eureka on Hunday evening last, after an extended visit to Han Francisco. The wires of tbe Western Union Com pany went down at about 7 o'clock last evening, depriving ns of a large share of oar telegraphic report. Man A Co. yesterday knocked the spots ont of White Pine county in a suit regard ing the redemption of certain scrip. Baker for plaintiff; Bishop A Babin for defendant. The smoke never appeared so dense at tbe Consolidated works as it was yester day. ' .On asking tbe eanse, we learned that thd fine Is too smaJPOrhati all the furnaces are running. I . Messrs. Davis A Kent have at the Mam moth corral a large lot of horses belonging to Mr. J. 11. Withington, which they will sell as may be selected, either at private sale or public auction. As Mr. Sadler was returning from Ruby Hill yesterday with his team, some part of the harness broke, and the horse* started on a dead run. Sadler thought at the time he would have a Arst-class item for us, but strong arms spoiled it. ■IMIMU MOTES. The Alexandria mine, which crosses the Rttreka Tunnel, is taking out excellent ore. Wujsaru they will eommenoe shipping to the Mo bason d furnace to-day. Tom Andrews yesterday received a dis patch from Cherry Greek, advising him of the sale ef one of his mines at Ruby Hill, and requiring his presence. Mr. Andrews leaves this morning. The Gila mine shipped for the month of June bullion to the value of 926.201 25. It is expected to produce over 910,000 this month. __ Tar the feert-Hsase. A petition was yesterday started, asking ! the Commissioners to proceed at onoe to erect the new Court-house. It sets forth thst the petitioners have faith in the wis dom and integrity of the Board, and ex presses the belief that they will act for the best interest of the oounty and people. The members of the Board are also recom mended to exercise their best judgment as to whether the location of the Court-house should be changed. We do not know what number of signatures were obtained. HAMBURG. Superintendent Powell's Official Re part. The following is the official letter of Su perintendent Powoll, forwarded to the company’s office in San Francisco on the 7tb instant: D. A. Jess isos, Secretary—Dear Sir: Since my last report 22 feet was made in upraise above 250 level, in ore from four to six feet in width. Tup of raise is 50 feet southeast of the old workings of south shaft, showing this to he entirely separate from the ore bodies in the old works. In southeast drift from bottom of winze below 250 level we have cut six feet of ore of extra good quality, and have drifted on it some 14 feet. During the coming week wc will start a winze in this body of ore and continue to sink until the upraise from 150 level is reached. Four hundred and fifty-foot level main south drift was ad vanced 20 foot, making a total from turn table of 534 feet, the rock passed through has been somewhat harder than usual; no work has yet been done on the vein of iron and ore cut last week. Mix hundred-foot level—Main drift was advanced 38 feet, making a total of 274 feet front station, face in broken limestone. Machinery all in good order and working well. J. C. Powell, Sup’t. EUREKA UOXMILIDATED. Superintendent Donnelly's Weekly Report. The following is the official letter of the Eureka Consolidated for the week ending June 22: W. W. Tbaylob—Dear Sir: Good progress lias been made in mining affairs since last repen t. The furnaces are run ning well and yielding upwards of 50 tons of bullion daily, and reducing about 240 tons of ore every 24 lionrs. Fifth level—North cross-cut has been ad vanced 15 feet, and is now in 400 feet from the cave, with very favorable indications for ore. West drift continued 22 feet, and is now in 68 feet, with good indications for ore. Seventh level—West drift No. 1 advanced 9 feet, and is now in 310 feet, with face of drift in hard rock. Raise continued 12 feet, and now up 138 feet. The ore body on this level is looking very well. Eighth level The ore body is looking first-rate. We are stoping out ore as usual. Ninth level—Incline winze sunk 5 feet, and now down 425 feet. Have commenced cutting out for a station. Twelfth level—North cross-cut drift back of incline made 10 feet, and is now in 83 feet, with spots of ore coming in and look ing favorable. The new development on this level is opening out well. Tenth level—Ore body looking first-rate and yielding largely. Eleventh level—Main east drift contin ued 10 feet, with face of drift in limestone; total length of drift 80 feet. West winze sunk 11 feet, and is now down 64 feet. Ore body looking well and yielding the usual quantity of good ore. H. Donnelly, Sup’t. T he C ricket Match.

Editor Sentinel: It is, perhaps, not generally known that in France religious processions are forbidden in places inhab ited by persons of different creeds. Arch bishop Coverut, of Lyons, therefore, lately applied to the Jewiah and Protestant Con sistories, and received from them a declar ation of neutrality in the matter of pro cessions. Upon the strength of this dec laration, the prelate intends soliciting and by which only he can receive—per mission from the Ministers to bold a re ligious procession. How times have changed! Here is a dignitary of the Cath olic Church who is obliged to ask permis sion of the Jewish and Protestant faiths to practice freely and publicly his religious worship, which he nevertheless considers to be the master of the world. This is another of those marvelous fact* which can only be realised by citisens of a free Republic. S. [Communicated.) THE CO VET-MO DUE QUESTION. Editob Sentinel : Some months ago you Bublished in the Sentinel, presumably on le authority of Commissioner Horn, a statement to the effect that Messrs. Horn and Sadler had agreed to stand together and bnild the new Oonrt-honse on the present site. What has tinee ooeurred to disturb this agreement ? Hea a desire on the pert of somebody to “ catch votes” this fall anything to do with the muddle into which the Commissioners have fallen. It really looks so to A Man Ur a Tube. Eureka,‘July 8th, 1878. Wa know nothing about the matter far ther than that the publication of the agree ment referred to by our correspondent was duly authorised—[Ed. Sentinel. Installation. The following were installed as officers of Silver State Lodge, No. 298, Indepen dent Order B'nai Brith, on Monday even ing, by Deputy Grand President, M. Bookman: 8. Goldstone, Monitor; Bart Ashim, Assistant'Monitor; 8. Ashim, Pres ident; B. C. Levy, Vice President; M. Caiislier, Secretary; H. Kind, Treasurer; D. Rosenberg, Warden; D. Leaser, Outside Guardian, RICHMOND CONSOLIDATED. Comments of the New York ‘'Min ing Record” on Ike Report of tbe Commission. In an article headed " A Great Mining Property.” the New York Weekly Mutiny Record, taking the report of tbe commis aion aa a basis, comments at length on the value and resources of the Richmond mine. It says ; From the report, we learn, first, that the property consists of four patented (Look ont, Richmond, Tip-top and St. George) claims, and sixteen locations not as yet patented. The patented portion of the property embraces 3,001 H linear feet by 251 feet on an average; while the sixtec-n non-patented locations embrace 18,170 by 200 feet. In addition, tbe company have located twenty-seven acres of land for the site of a new shaft, which has been com menced to the northeastward of the pres ent shaft. At the time of the formation of the Richmond Consolidated Mining Com pany, the property consisted only of the l’ichmord, 501 ti by 300 feet; the Colorado, 1,400 by 200 feet, and the Virginia, 1.400 by 200 ’bet, all locations. Of the subse quent additions, the Tip top, 600 by 300 feet, and tho Lookout, 400 by 200 feet, have been acquired by purchase, and the remainder by locations duly made and held, under the laws of the United States and of the State of Nevada. We have mentioned these details as showing, first, that this company—the stock of which is held almost exclusively in England, with the management in London—started orig inally with an area of 3.301 H by 250 feet of unpatented locations; secondly, that under our mining laws, State and Federal, they have gone on profitably working that property and extending it until it now em braces, as wo have stated, 3.001 by 254 feet of mineral veins held in fee under patents from the Government of the United states, with no less than 18,176 feet by 200 feet held as located claims, to gether with 27 acres of land held by the like title as well as some 3,600 acres of wood-land chiefly purchased from the Gov ernment. These facts we commend to the attention of the London Mining World, as refuting very conclusively its repeated allegations that our laws are mode in effect to discriminate against or operate preju dicially to alien adventurers of capital in our mines. We also commend the same facts to the attention of readers of a cer tain special periodical of this city—to some extent concerning itself with mines and mining questions—the which period ical, not long since, sought in this market to discredit a mining property based upon “locations,” by the urgent assertion that “a mine without a patent is not ripe for public Investment,” and, further, “that a possessory title to a mine is not a safe basis for stock investment.” Had such a state ment appeared in an American mining journal, at the time of the inception of the Kichmond Consolidated Mining Company, assuredly the effect must have been to de ter the investment of so much English capital in the exploitation of a mine, which, since September, 1871, and up to August, 1877, has produced bullion to the value of little less than $8,000,000, and which is now one of the most valuable mining investments in the world, though the shareholders, in downright dividends up to the present writing, may have only received but about $1,000,000, or barely an eighth of the production. As for the production, it has been chiefly derived from the Kichmond, so-called pipe vein, outside of which, as the investigating committee complain, very little explora tory work has been done or development made until quite recently, when rich dis coveries immediately resulted. As originally organized, the capital con sisted of $1,100,000, divided into 44,000 shares of the value of ■ $25 each, and of which $1,000,000 were paid for the Rich mond, Virginia and Colorado mines, to gether with certain reduction works. In 1872, the capital stock was increased to $1,350,000 by tlio addition of 10,000 shares. Additional furnaces had been ad ded; this involved debts through tempor ary loans and debenture bonds, of which a small part remains unpaid. The share holders have received to date, in all, twelve dividends; the first of which was paid in April, 1872, and making a sum total, as already stated, of something above $1,000,000. In addition to the amount invested in the outset, in the purchase of the Rich mond and the two other mines first ac quired, that is to say about $1,000,000, the subsequent expenditure in the acquisition of other mines and locations has amounted to $187,000, in the purchase of woodlands and water rights $48,000, in refinery, hoist ing works, furnaces, shafts, engines, ma chinery, etc., $381,000, and finally the ex penses of the lawsuit with the Eureka Con solidated Mining Company, $170,000— making an aggregate of about $1,800,000 expended for the property and fixtures at they now stand. According to the financial statement pre sented by the commission, the net pro ceeds from sales in lead, dore bars and base bullion for the six years ending 31st of August, 1877, have amounted to $7,550,000, including the lead and bullion now sold, with some ore on hand at the smelting works, in all worth about $93,000. Out of this sum $903,000 had been paid, to that date, to the shareholders in dividends, leaving on hand cash, bullion, lead and mining supplies fully to the value of $230,000. Of this large sum realized from production, it remains to say that as much as $3,335,000 were absorbed by smelting expenses, $270,000 by refinery costs, and $428,000 by freight and insurance, while $182,000 have gone to pay interest, and $415,000 of the profits have been added to the “capital account.” H remains to be mentioned in proof of the fair spirit in which this committee have discharged their duty and in disproof of the alleged unfair or partial tendency of our judicial tribunals, wle n the interests of aliens are involved, that referring to the ad verse decision of their company with the Eureka, they have not be sitated to declare that decision as rendered by Justice Field “to be a clear and lucid statement of the case, as it presented itself to the minds of the Judges, and an instructive document to put into the hands of the shareholders;’’ and virtually, that the suit was one which should never have been entered into by the Richmond Company, and that it only result ed from the want of any spirit of compromise on the part of their own agents in this country. It must also be added, says the Record, that the stook of this oompany, the par value of which is but $25 per share, is now selling in the London market at from $60 to $02.50. Monad Ad view. A modern philosopher gives this sound advice, the same being as applicable to the moral atmosphere of the Base Range as elsewhere: ” What ‘they say’ is beneath your notice. What's the use of lying awake o’ nights with the unkind remarks of some false friend running through your brain like forked lightning? What’s the use of getting into a worry and fret over gossip that has been set afloat to your dis advantage by some meddlesome busybody who has more time than character? These things ean't possibly injure you, unless, indeed, you take notioe of them, and in combatting them give them character and standing. If what is said about you is true, set yourself right at ones; if it is false, let it go (or what it will, until it dies of inherent weakness.” Hotel Arrivals, Jackson House—Mrs. Blackwell, Duck water, John Lugan, Hamilton, William Powell, Hamilton.

A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH. BURNING OF SNQWSHEDS ON THE SIERRAS. PARTICULARS OF THE DUCKWATER CASUALTY. THE KltUXU AT TYBO. From the Sfmtxxel Extka, of Yesterday.] From passengers afHving by last night' train, tbs Sentinel is in receipt of iufor* mation of tbs burning' of a large section of snow sheds on the Cen tral Pacific Railroad, near Blue Canyon. The east-bound train was detained five hours at Blue Canyon. At some points the heavy timber* were still burning when the train shot through. In passing through the long tunnel, tome of the passengers almost suffocated from the density of the smoke, and several women and children fainted. A destructive fire occurred at Battle Mountain late Saturday night, or early Sunday morning, by which eighteen houses were destroyed and several persons in jured—one, a woman, name not learned, fatally. In attempting to rescue a boy from a burning building, a gentle man was severely burned, and the boy as well. Tho fire originated from a candle in the house of the woman who lost her life. Her remains were found beneath the burning timbers, shock ingly disfigured. The fire occurred in that portion of the town lying south of the railroad. Huntsman's hotel was not burned. Jerry Coffney was the name of the man who killed Cahill, at Tybo, on the night of the 5th instant. A correspondent informs the Sentinel that it was an unprovoked murder, resulting in a drunken brawl. Coffney was arrested and taken to the Bel mont jail. Dr. Owen brings later intelligence from the casualty at Brown’s Station, on Duck water. It appears there has been for some time past a character hanging about the ranch known as ” Doc.” On the night of the 3d, being under tho influence of liquor, ho was put to bed, much against his will. During the night he rose, and, lighting a candle, gathered his clothing, and, as appears, left the bouse, which is a large stockade build ing. Brown, the proprietor of the ranch, being awakened by the smoke, found his way with much difficulty to the door, and upon reaching tho air fainted. Upon re covering consciousness, he returned to the house, and, groping abont the floor, found Young, who he dragged to the open air, Russell, in the meantime, having escaped by breaking through a window. Both Young and Rus sell are severely burned, and suffering very much from their injuries. The doc tor appears to have some fears regarding Young’s recovery, but considers Russell past danger.

Frank Roebles gives notice in another column that he is going to open a two-bit restaurant in the iron building on North Main street. This will be the first two-bit house, we believe, started in Nevada—cer tainly the first in the Great East. It will be thrown open to the public to-morrow. Mr. Roebles will be hailed as a public ben efactor. There will be no occasion for any one going hungry in the future; and when the lusty tramp hereafter strikes for 50 he will be gently disposed of for 25. The opening of the new establishment will be celebrated this evening with a danee of the Spanish residents, to which a general in vitation is extended. "" '■■■ ■ More Aboot Yeaag sad Bussell. Mr. M. P. Gossett and Alex Beatty left last night for Duckwater to bring in Young’s remains. Dr. Owen accompanied them to give further attention to Russell. Both Young and Russell left here on the evening of the 3d. Russell has a rich miue at Tern Pahute. He had on his person at the time of the fire about $1,000 in greenbacks, which are supposed to have been destroyed. The funeral of Young will probably take plaoe to-morrow after noon. __ AHlfam’i Bale. The balance of the stock in trade and property belonging to the estate of H.
