Deputy Sheriff Bslrude, Of Whits
Pine, arrived Sunday evening and de.
parted yestsrday morning With. Fin
iiey. Hho. ID dmpitcsted In the 0seen
murder. Some very strong points are
being developed against Enney. Green
was murdered on the 18th Of August.
In the afternoon Of the same day Fin
ney and the boy, Mstheney, LEFT town
on horseback and went out to the
ranch. A little after dark they, re-
turned with two Of Green's horses,
which they proceeded TO sell at re-
markedly low rates the following NOR.
Ming, Flnney, 10 at least one Instance
guaranteeing the title. The books OF
the stable-keeper show that the horses
were brought In on-th6 rfigtf OF the
14th. This also corroborates the boys
story. II. will. be remembered that
Fnney testified before thesCOroner's
jury that be had never visited Green's
ranch but once-some time prior 70
the murder. While the officers were
searching for tho body, however. he
told . different story from this. eTho
last time Green had been seen IN town
he started QUE with Q ham and . sack
of flour. The boy was with him, and
the officers were not certain that tho
old man had ever reached the ranch.
Finney, prior to the arrest Of the boy
and the finding Of the body, was IN.
terrogated as 70 his opinion on this
subject. He expressed the belief that
the old man had arrived 1t the ranch
In safety, giving as q reason for this
opinion that be was out there himself
the next day, and saw the ham and
-four, at which time he cut q slice
from the ham and ate II raw he
made this same statement to Sheriff
Sullivan and Deputy Sheriff johnson
separately and on different occasions.
After the body was found, however,
and things began to look squally, he
denied ever having been to the ranch
save at one time. long before the muir
der. Tho boy says In nis last confess
sion that It was while Finney was
partaking Of the raw ham IN question,
on the same day Of the murder, that
the question was discussed al to the
number of horses they should bring
In. It ralned hard the night the muir
der was committed, and We also hear
that Flnney was seen at 8 o'clock In
the morning, wet from head to foot.
These and other circumstances, In
course of development, tend In our
Judgment to establish q very strong
chain of evidence against him.
Mr.. D. A. Dochey, Of the Morey
Mill Company. arrived here yesterday
from Mercy, Nye county. He reports
that the mines In that locality are
turning ont very rich ore, and that the
mill which IL being put up will DO ready
to run by the 10th Of October. Several
new lodges, Of which the groupings
assayed into the hundreds, have been
located by Mr.. Dochez, which Joined
to the eighteen mines already deyel-
oped by the Morey Mining Company,

Under Tie above heading the Truc-
,kee Repao,ioaa of the sd inst, makes
the following very plausible bid for
spcclal favora from the Central Pacific
Railroad. The arguments and state
mpnts In the editorial quoted arc not
without considerable weight:
In view Of the unfriendly attitude
Of Sacramento and San Francisco
toward the Central Pacific Railroad,
we think It would be wisdom on the
part Of the company to make Truckee
their great central station. Here the
company own land In abundance, and
half the water power Of the Truckee
River from Lake Tahoe to Reno. Here
they could have their machine shops
and car manufactures, and all the ell
bow room they desire, with no narrow
minded municipalities to interfere with
their rights or to restrict them In the
full development Of their plans. Here
their hospital could be removed or
built, In the healthiest place on the
entire line Of the road from San Fran
cisco to Salt Lake City, free from the
heat and malaria Of the Sacramento
Valley. Such q removal as we sug-
gest would tend not only to attract q
large population hither, but also capl-
tai Tor the establishment Of various
manufactures. Here exists the larg-
est water power on the Pacific Coast
that Is available, the larger portion Of
which Is partially in the hands Of
the railroad company. Here they
have valuable land, water rights TO
sell, and by concentrating their own
capital and business here they would
add immensely to the value Of such
property. This vicinity IN It's present
undeveloped state, ships more tons OF
freight than any other point on the
railroad from San Francisco to Ogden.
Let capital be attracted here by the
railroad company, and wooden mills,
cotton mills, paper mills, grist mills,
foundries, smelling furnaces for the
reduction Of ore. and numerous other
industries would speedily be built up
In Truckee and vicinity. The natural
facilities for the largest manufacturing
city on this coast exist here In True
kee. and will surely be utilized In the
future. The railroad company, by a
judicious and liberal policy, IAN hast
EN- that future with pecunlary benefit
to themselves.

IMPROBABLE SToRY.-1he st. Louis
Republican has revived the story that
j. Wilkes Booth, the assassin, Is not
dead. An old friend who knew him
In Alabama, claims to have met him
on the Pelew Islands, In the North
Pacific Ocean. In 1856. Booth had
been In Mexico, South America, Afri-
ca and Asia. He said he met John
Stewart in Rome, and he sent q token
by his friend to his brother In New
York. This story, Is Of course, very
improbable, yet there are many poo
pie who profess to think that Boston
Corbett didn't kill Booth, 10 such
persons this report will bring renewed
reason for clingiug to that belief. .

IRON SHIPBUILDING ON THE DELAWARE
The rapidity with which the comparatively new
industry of building iron steamships on the
Delaware is beng developed is attracting
general attention, and the superiority of these
vessels over the iron steamships constructed on
the Clyde, in several important particulars, and
especially in strength, has been demonstrated
on several occasions. It appears, from state
ments in the recently published reports of the
national association of iron manufacturers that
the amount of iron tonnage built by William
Cramp & Sons, of Philadelphia, in 1872, was
10000 tons, while the amount of iron tonnage
commenced or building by them in that year
was $4,000 tons. In addition to their opera
tons some 500 tons of new work, and large
amount of rebuilding was done at the yard of
Messrs. Wood, Dialogue & Co., at Camden, and
great activity prevailed at the iron shipyards at
Chester and Wilmington, ''the former having
built several steamers for ocean service on the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, while at the latter
in addition to considerable amount of iron
coasting tonnage, there has been carried on
lively trade iu supplying light draught river
steamers for South American and China trade. !"
The report also states that the Reading il
road Company ''projeets building an iron ship
yard, with plate mill and other works in the
near future at some point on the company's
property, on the Delaware, at Philadelphia"
