The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1873-03-01
EBERHARDr n AuRoRA.-Mr. Potts,

the mine superintendent of this company,
informs US hat a new chamber of ore has
been struck, which has been named the
Peerless chamber. The sanguine style
of Mr.. Potts description of its extent and
richness, could not be other than the con-
viction Of q mar competent to judge and
truthful in his feeling. We have at va
rious times during the last week endeav-
ored to pay a visit to all the mines on the
Hill, but have been prevented from so
doing by the severity OF the weather. In
this connection we would ask all those
interested in mines or mining affairs,
either to call upon us and give us such
information as they possess, or else COM
municate by letter. We are anxious and
DESTROYS to gather all news bearing upon
the great interest of our country, but
annot possibly, under present circum-
stances, be better informed than men liv-
ing in Alaska, except persons provide us
the information. Our paper is intended
~ a medium Of news affecting this sec
ton, and we would esteem any items q
great favor.
CAU6HT.-From the Phoebe Record we
learn that Jot Travis has succeeded in
catching and safely housed the parties
suspected of stealing some thirty head OF
horses from a band belonging to Travis
Bros, near Phoebe. The name of " Dutch
George" one of the captured party, il
familiar to all those acquainted with the
early history Of Eureka, ~ being the man
who shot and killed Buffalo Bill at
that place, and at the same time infict-
ing n severe wound on another man stand
ing near. Much credit is dne Travis for
his energy in tracing the thieves, and his
pluck in capturing them, as they are both
known to be desperate men. We were
cognizant Of the fact that the men were
suspected and were being pursued, but
hitherto RETAINED from giving publicity
TO the fact. fearing vi might be instrn-
mental in putting the thieves on their
} guard. thus defeating the ends of justice.
The wEArHER.-This il generally the
last resort Of the local when a space
is to be filed. and is usually OF little nc

writing we feel justified in making a note
Of the subject. There is only one word
which can come anywhere near doing the
subject justice, and that is-terrible.

DEVOTION TO DUTY.-Our readers will
remember the terrific storm of Monday
last, when the wind blew ~furiously, pick
ing up in it's course loads OF snow, pene-
trating through our summer-like style Of
houses, and the bitter cold which accom-
panied it.. Well. after having waded

be better to give both teacher and chill

PSEuMoNIA.-This terrible and danger
u disease has been prevalent in Phoebe
for some weeks, and in many instances
has been attended with fatal results. Per-
w,a-a arriving from there say that the citi-
zens are becoming much alarmed at its
presence. But generally, the fatal re-
suits named above have taken place
among a class, plentiful in this country,
who do not take proper care of them
selves drink too much whisky, and lay
out o. nights, thus creating pneumonia
from a slight cold or sore throat. In SO
and 20 the disease was quite prevalent
in White Pine, but seems to nave almost
entirely disappeared during the subse-
quent years. Dur people should exer-
else great care during the stormy weather
now prevailing.
TRAvEL.--There has been a large
amount Of travel through this place dur
ing the last few days. The clearinghouse

are filled every night with people coming
