NEVADA STEAM FIGURING MILL.-A
few days since we were indebted to the
courtesy of VIM. J. Tilley, Esq, the
proprietor, for look at the Nevada
Steam FIGURING Mill, the pioneer and
only establishment of the kind in this
city. An idea of the place where the
best -four in use in the community is
made may prove interesting.
The mill is located just out of the
city, near where the Main and Pine st.
roads to Grass Valley come together
1t is two stories in height, besides the
garret which is devoted exclusively to
cleaning the wheat, it being plentifully
supplied with cheat, cookie and smut
when brought to market. The farmers
of California are not yet supplied with
the proper machines for cleaning grain.
There are three run of stones in the
mill; two are employed IL hours per
day in manufacturing -four, and one in
grinding feed. Two hundred sacks, of
fifty pounds each, of superfne -four are
made ready for market daily. An ap-
paratus for manufacturing self-raising
-four, so much in vogue among miners,
turns out all that the trade demands of
that article. The wheat is SO dry and
brittle owing to the climate of the coun-
try, that it has to undergo dampening
process before grinding in order the
more effectuaily. to separate the bran.
Some -four is lost by adhering to the bran
by this process, but the QUALIFY of the
flour saved is advanced materially
The mill is driven by double engine of
sixty horse power, capable of propelling
double the number of stones now in use,
when the wants of the community de-
mand the increase.
A fine, large store-house conveniently
located at short distance from the mill
and connected with it by railway, con-
tains about 10000 bushels of wheat
raised on Bear River. Dry and Cache
creeks and near Nicholas.
Most of the wheat, we are informed,
raised in this State has full, heavy
kernel, though specimens we saw at the
mill had not the fine, white and plump
appearance of Genessee wheat in gen.
eral, and perhaps may not produce -four
of the very finest brands. But the -four
m ade by Mr.. Tilley is probably as good
as can be extracted from the material
out of which it is made, and is infinitely
superior in sweetness and many other
qualities to the finest brands shipped
from the East. 1t is fast supercedine
all foreign brands in this market, as i,
certainly deserves to do.

~ As different surmises have been
indulged in concerning the sad affray in
which Wright and johnson lost their
lives, in order to set the matter complete
ly at rest, we have, at a great inconve-
nience to ourselves, by express desire,
deferred much interesting matter until
next week, and given up large share
of our space to the evidence taken be-
fore the Coroner's jury. and the Report
based thereon. Several advertisements,
and sound legal communication on
the SheriHalty we regret to be obliged
to defer in consequence.

all came together then, some one
brought candles and we knew that it
was mistake; we gathered around
Wright and found him dying, we sent
for a physician; / then asked who was
in the cut and Baldwin came up and said
he was the man; Garvey, myself and
some of the Gold Flat boys then went to
hunting for Teal, johnson and Butter

them and / c. included that they were
all shot, we got pretty near to Arm
strong's house lady came out and told
us that there was gentleman in there
wounded Doct. Hunt came shortly af-
ter that, and that is all l know. / was
not informed that there was any other
party there watching the horses; / had
four inch revolver and and double
barrelled shotgun; Davis loaded it for
me, don't know how many shot were] in,
/ think shot is the usual load l am
quite certain that no man ever told me
that the horses were there tied and per-
sons were watching them, and to be care
full not to shoot them; had no informa-
ton of where the prisoners were until
about or little before IL o'clock, and
we would have gone there, but the de-
lay gave us the information of the hor-
ses being hitched it was our intention
to have gone to the cabin in the first
place until changed by this information.
HENRY PLUMER.
HARVEY HUNT-I am a physician
and surgeon, and examined the bodies of
w. w. Wright and David johnson !;
was first called to examine Mr.. john
son; | found ball hole about two and
half inches back, and little below
the left nipple; the wound, as near as l
could observe, ranged a little upwards
and back the wound was the cause of
his death. l saw Mr. Wright's wounds
and examined him; there were about
forty buck-shot in his person, perforating
his whole neck; his chin was broken by
slug, which was taken out; the
wounds would cause his death by bleed
ing, the carotyd ARTERIES being cut; he
bled much internally; the shock to the
spinal column would have killed him :;
the shots received were the cause of his
death. HARVEY HUNT.
We, the undersigned jurors, empan-
nelled in the above matter, after due
inquisition and examination of the wit
nesses and testimony, do find as follows !:
That w. W. Wright and David John
son came to their death by gun-shot
wounds, received on Gold Ravine, in
the county of Nevada, near the head of
Gold Flat. ON the evening of Monday,
November Sd, 1856; that the said
wounds were given from guns or revolv-
ers in the hands of Wallace Williams,
L. L. Baldwin and Geo. II. Armstrong.
and were given accidentally and by mis-
take, in a collision that occurred be-
tween the said Williams, t. L. Baldwin
and Armstrong on the one side, and w.
w. Wright, Henry Plumer, David John
son, Bruce Garvey, VIM. Butterfeld and
Lewis Teal on the other side. Both
parties attempting to arrest prisoners
escaped from the Jail, and coming in
contact in the night.
