Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1873-03-13


In our last issue it was stated that two
keepers at the Floral mill had an en-
counter on Tuesday evening last, and
that several shots were fired. From re-
liable source, yesterday, we learned that
the individual who did the shooting had
been employed by the Sheriff as keeper,
and was discharged. His name is Short.
He did not shoot at one of the keepers
at the MILL but turned loose promiscu-
ously with Henry rifle at the residence
OF Jacob Clark-Mr Clark's wife and
children being in the house at the time.
Officer Mckee was sent for, and hurried
Ito the scene; but Short had escaped-a
search of over an hour failed to find him.
Short seems to have fired at Mr.. Clark
residence because he thought man
was within with whom he had had some
trouble; no other reason can be sur
missed. If arrested he will be, as he
should be, severely punished.
IMPORTANT New DEVELOPMENTS The
Developments that are being made in the
eastern part of this district are attracting
renewed attention. Several important
strikes have been made within the last
ten days. Mines which are located on
the fiat on the east side of Spring Noun
tain are developing wonderfully, the ore
being equal in richness to that taken
from the mines on Panaca Flat, and,
from present indications, the ore bodies
will prove as large and extensive as those
Of the famous Raymond & Ely and
Hermes. We venture to say that the de-
velopments which will be made within
the next sixty days in that part of Ely
District will create as much excitement as
did the immense strike which was made
year and half ago in the famous
Lightner shaft.
