Our Police AND DErEcrIvEs.-we
received a letter yesterday from Mr..
Z. Crane, who with his wife was rob-
bed at their residence on Carson river,
Just above Dayton, a week ago last
Monday night. He gave us the result
Of the examination Of the two men
arrested Us the robbers, but as we had
already written up the item from other
equally correct information, We made
no use Of his letter. We cannot, how
ever, let 1t pass without publishing the
old mans opinion of u Gold Hill
and Virginia officers. He evidently
has q decidedly high opinion Of Chief
Downey, and all the rest Of our Storey
county Police officers. Tho old man
concludes as follows: "Storey county
should feel proud of having so many
excellent officers Of justice rs she has,
and / believe Lyon county appreciates
their worth now, and will hereafter,
when I say that every officer l talked
with, entered heartily into my deter
mination to bring the rascals to JUS
tice. Our W officer, McFadden, did
all he could; but | must not fail to
mention particularly Constable 7.
Harkin, Of Gold Hill. From the min
ute I described the men he was OH the
alert. and went in all directions-to
Empire, Carson, Silver and Reno. He
must have spent several days, and
been at great expense to catch these
fellows. All the officers were kind
and obliging--but for a desperate, hard
case, where great detective abilities
are needed, give me Tom Harkin every
time
DrNpERBERG.-Dr. Munckton, Of the
famous Dunderberg mine, was at Vir-
ginia yesterday, and here's what the
Enterprise says about it: she has just
returned from his mine, situated on 4
branch Of the East Walker river, and
reports the vein looking better than
ever. In the north drift, 100 feet from
the main tunnel, silver is becoming
predominant, and + has been found
In that portion Of the mine which as
says over s., 900 per ton. In the south
drift, so feet south Of the tunnel, gold
predominates, and free gold is to be
seen in the ore. There are q men at
work In the mine at present. Work
upon the mill 40 Stampsl Is progressing
%fayorably. Meanwhile a large amount
Of ore Is being accumulated at tho
mine. The mine, which will doubtless
make some noise in the mining world
one Of these days-is situated on Dog
town creek, 4 branch Of the East
Walker, three miles above the village
of Dogtown, where there is company
of some so Chinese placer miners.
The gold obtained In the banks of the
creek at this point doubtless came from
the lead which Is now being opened
and developed by DR.. Munckton. The
doctor deserves his good fortune, rs lie
has stuck to the mine through thick
and thin for over three years; las al
WAYS had faith. and has made 1t mani
fest by works when Others have weak
cned and given up all hope of devel-
oping anything In the mine. The doc
tor Intends having some Of his rich
sulphuret ores tested by the Statefeldt
process at the Auburn mill, Reno
ArpRoAcInXG CoMPLETIoS.- The
new. Catholic church at Virginia will
have it. interior arrangements entirely
completed In two or three weeks more,
and we understand the edifice Is to be
dedicated In due form on the 26th of
next month. The altar arrived from
France day before, yesterday, and Is
now being set up by Tim. Cronin, the
contractor. II Is a beautiful piece OF
work. being moulded in plaster, and
Of most elaborate design and finish.
1t came In nearly 500 pieces, all fitted
and numbered, ready to put together.
The interior finish Of the church Is
very neat and elegant rs far as the
ceiling and sides are concerned, and
when the pews are put in, and the
other details Of finish completed, 1t
will be one of the finest churches on
the coast, such as would be highly
creditable to any community in the
world.
ASHOE NlNE.-1H0 bHucfpTts "a
this morning says: "Spiro Vucovich.
proprietor Of the Adriatic saloon Ia
this city, yesterday received from n
ranch between Placerville and Colo
ma, CAL, a ton and a half Of grapes. Of
which he intends making wine. The
experts say that with the same grapes
better wine can be made here than in
California. This Is owing to some pc
culiar advantages our climate pos
sesses over that Of California. AL
though we were not aware Of the fact
until Yesterday. We are informed that
Mr.. Vucoyich, Mr.. Medin and others
of this city have been in the habit OF
manufacturing their W wine IN TINS
CITY from California grapes. All agree
that the wine made here Is better than
the California wine."
