ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

regret to learn from Captain Jim
johnson, an intelligent Pluto Indian,
that Captain Charley died a few days
ago, over on Walker river, about five
miles below Wellington's Station.
He had been quite i'll for several days,
and died suddenly, apparently from
heart disease. Captain Charley was
quite we'll known among the white
people of Gold Hill and Virginia as
an Intelligent and kind-hearted man,
but especially by the newspaper men.
He never visited Gold Hill but he in
variably came into the NEWS office to
give us some information concerning
the Indian tribes Of our State. He
was kind Of q general superintendent
among the Indians, and was uniVer-
sally beloved by all the tribes for
9ood-heartedness and desire for peace
between the Indians and h whites.
Whenever difficulties arose. whether
among the Indians themselves. or be-
tween the whites and the Indians,
Charley was always sent for as the
peace-maker. For years he was In
terpreter for tho Federal officers OF
Forts Churchill and Halleck, and by
whom he was commissioned as q
HCaptain." Poor Charley, Indian as
he was, he filled a useful place for
some years In civlllzing and lettering
the condition Of the Indians in this
State. His death Is much lamented by
his brethren-and, as jim johnson
tells us, the whites of this State have
lost the best friend they had among
the Indian tribes. May the "happy
hunting grounds over the river be
indeed q heaven for poor Charley lor
the good deeds done In the body.

simultaneously. 1t will take nearly
three months before the shaft Will De
completed to the proposed depth, n
