THE PROSPECT.

Upon the whole, we consider the min
ing prospects of this district very salts
factory at this time, if not extremely
bright. We do not assert this without
refection--merely to please the home
reader--but it is a conclusion honestly
arrived at by carefulinquiry and personal
observation. Whoever gets working
control OF the ground now tied up in liti-
cation, it will be developed to the fullest
extent as soon as it is released from the
grasp of the law. The Raymond & Ely
Company have determined to soon put
full forces to work in nearly all their out
side mines, and enter upon thorough de-
velopment in various parts of the strict.
The Inauguration of milling ut Highland
will stimulate development in dozen
promising lodges out that way. Tie
smelling ores of Bristol district will prob
ably call for increased facilities depend
ent upon the success of the National
smelling works there, about to be put in
operation-early IN the summer. Nego-
tiations are pending for machinery to de-
velop the promising lodges down towards
the Muddy, to the southeast. Some of
the Phoebe mines, heretofore receiving
secondary consideration, are developing
so favorably that it has been decided to
vastly increase their working faclities
among these we may mention the Silver
Peak, Alps, Pacific Tunnel and Excelsior.
1t has been decided to extend operations
in the majority, if not all, of the older
and more famed mines. And in the
midst of all these new and enlarged facl-
tiles of development in the mines of Ely
District, We note increased activity in the
prospecting field. We see no good rea-
son for dependency in this section of tie
Silver State. '.

Third Dispatch.

SAN Francisco, April SO Pm.
About 1l:3O this morning an express
man loaded his wagon at the London
and San Francisco Bank with large
amount of coin and bullion to convey to
Wells, Fargo g. Co. S office. While driv-
ing along Montgomery street, at the cor
ner of Sacramento, Chinaman stepped
off the sidewalk, and thrusting his hand
into the rear OF the wagon snatched a
bag containing $4,000, placed it on his
shoulder and leisurely walked away.
The expressman knew nothing of the
circumstance until he reached his des-
tination and missed the sack. Martin,
the clothier, and Fire Marshal Durkee
saw the act and gave chase. The China
man ran down Sacramento street into
Liedesdorff, where he was captured and
the coin recovered.

FALSE TELEanApHINa.-When a tele-
graph dispatch appears in a newspaper
communicating a perversion Of facts,
either the publisher thereof or the party
transmitting it is responsible; sometimes
it is the result Of connivance between
the publisher and the party transmitting.
dispatch in the San Francisco Bulle-
tin, dated Phoebe, March 20, says: The
Indian depredations at Phoebe in 1864
and 1865 consisted in stealing knives and
three-quarters Of sack of flour at the
Panaca camp. and hostlities were more
feared because friendly Indian named
Lo reported that such and such Indians
threatened an attack" Now, to ascer-
tain whether the Bulletin Intentionally
published this perversion of facts, we
will give exactly what was elected by the
testimony, that it may, if it wishes, give
the public the truth; The Indians in
cessantly stole stock; they waylaid and
killed man between Phoebe and Pah-
ranagat; they shot arrows at the miners
working in discovery claim; they sur
rounded and were on the point of MUIR
dering Thomas Box, when he was res
cued; they notified the miners, through
an interpreter, that they would wage u
war of determination against them, if
they did not leave; and, finally, they
grew so threatening and audacious that
succor was sent for to and received from
st. George, 100 miles distant, and de.
fences were constructed, to which were
gathered for safety all in this section of
country. All fair-minded men must
deprecate these one sided and false re-
ports of testimony given in the great
suit. The Bulletin will correct its mis-
statements, or stand convicted of willful
Misrepresentation to subserve private in
terests.

oner confined in the Brooklyn Jail on a
charge of forgery, claims to have inform
alton that would result in the detection

Grand Jury. The receiver reports that
after the depositors shall have been paid,
there will remain about $4,000 out of

plus of the bank. The receiver says

PORTSMOUTH, Me-, April 5.
Steamer Falmouth arrived here this
morning from Halifax, with 1926 passen-
gers of the Atlantic. Among them were
S.A. Wick, Of North Carolina, and Simon
Camacho, o Frenchman. The latter's
feet and legs were badly frozen. Both
were in the rigging eight hours. They
praise the officers for their gallantry, but
are bitter against the crew.
pen HALLIDAY, April 5.
The investigation of the Dominion
Government into the cause of the loss of
the steamer Atlantic is continued. In
his cross-examination Captain Williams
said that the speed of the vessel, at u
O'Clock, was about IL knots an hour. He
reckoned that the ship was easterly eight
miles off Of Sambo bearing. north de-
grees east. He did not shift her course,
but expected to pass five miles east of the
eambo lodges. He has never brought a

TIE LAST CALIFORNIA SENSATION
The last California sensation is the mys-
ferrous murder of Miss Elvina Coates,
nearly II years old, whose body was
found, inclosed in large grain-sack, in
deep mining shaft in Placer county.
Medical examination disclosed the fact
that her person had not been outraged,
and it bore no marks of violence. The
shaft was nearly filled with water, and it
was concluded she had been drowned,
Turk fashion. Her father, who had
started out to hunt for her, was found
dead on the trail he was following, mile
from where the girls body was found,
and no marks Of violence were found on
his body; but he was subject to fits.
Several theories are advanced, the most
plausible being this: Some years ago
Coates and his wife took an orphan girl
to raise, and it is said that it died from
the effects Of their brutal treatment. An
uncle OF the orphan, telling Coates che
had murdered his niece" Knocked him
down and kicked and stamped him fear
fully. On the "tooth-for-a.tooth" and
"eye-for-an-eye" principle, the uncle of
the girl who died from ill-treatment is
connected with the murder OF Miss Elyi-
no Coates. A heavy reward will be
offered to stimulate the detectives to
action in the matter.

THE APPROACHING SPECIAL
ELECTION.

The registration, so far, with the view
Of voting on the raising, by special tax,
of'means to construct in Phoebe school
edifce of necessary capacity and ordinary
accommodations, has been, we regret to
learn, very light. We still more regret
to learn that there is a very decided feel
ing against building new school-house.
Phoebe, the second city in population
and present and prospective business i'm
portance in the State of Nevada, with
over 300 names on her school list, and
one little, dingy, dark and rickety school
house thst cannot decently accommodate
fifty pupils, is not a very creditable show
ing; but we think the reflection would
be still more degrading that her citizens,
by deliberate expression at the ballot
box, had decided that they did not desire
improvement. Once again we appeal to
citizens, to all who regard the city's
moral reputation at home and abroad,
and who, as becomes Christian gentle
men, feel an interest in the welfare of the
rising generation, to register their names
at once, and then vote for the erection of
such an edifice Of education in Phoebe as
will entitle US to be called civilized.
Don't hold your ballot in reserve because
you think the sum to be raised is too
great; you can qualify it by writing on
the margin the amount you think sufi-
cient. and thus the noble project may be
saved from total defeat.

ship into Halifax and had never been
on the coast before. His third officer
had been in the harbor twice, but no
other officer had ever been there.
He did not use the lead coming into
Halifax, because the night was clear and
the Sambo light could be seen for 81
miles in clear weather and Is miles in
moderate weather. I am now satisfied
that when l went into the chart room
was mistaken in the locality of the
ship. She must have been further north
ward and westward than thought. 1
knew the coast was an iron-bound and
dangerous one. If had been sounding
regularly from IL to 8 o'clock would
have been on deck, and the ship would
not have gone ashore. There were three
Quartermasters and the second and
fourth officers on deck. Had they been
energetic they might, think, have seen
that there was something ahead, and if
orders had been given to reverse the en-
gines, the calamity might have been
ayerted.
