MURDERS IN MILLION. - Rev. Mr..
Hemphill has been expatiating in San
Francisco upon murder. Like true
philosopher he resorts to statistics, and
says: In Great Britain there were / MUIR
ders to the Million in Belgium, Is;
France, 81; Austria, 3G Bavaria, GS;
Tuscany, Sc; Papal States, l13. The
ninth census showed that in the Eastern
States there was / murder to $1,000, or
nearly IS to the Million md, if the truth
must be known, California occupies to-
day the bad commence of beng fore
most in the annals of murder. Accord
ing to the last census. there was one
homicide in every 1900 persons, or $50
to the million. Phoebe, however, dis
counts any place on earth, Within the
past 80 days ten pistol shots and
thirteen knife wounds were inflicted
upon fellow-creatures by men, and
only three of them at that. Harrington
on the 9th Of July wounded four men
with three shots, intlicting five wounds,
one MORALLY. Ferguson stabbed his vic
tim thirteen times, producing death; Nc
Kinney shot Courtney five times, produc-
ing death. We are not anxious for dis
tinction, but if any one wishes to take u
note of passing events, they may dot
down the fact that more destruction has
been caused in Phoebe within 30 DAYS by
three men than was ever done before.
ARRIvED.-W were glad to see once in
Phoebe the genial countenance of our old
time friend Charles Heath, Esq. He
reports matters and things in Pahranagat
Valley, mining, agricultural, etc, all in
tlourishing condition, and if his personal
appearance is to be taken as an index
the country he represents, doubtless he
speaks truly. More fortunate than the
Spaniard, Charley has discovered the
Fountain of perpetual youth"
CoNcERT.-There will be grand con-
cert on Monday evening, August 18th, at
which all the local talent and amateur
performers will participate, A pleasant
time and great treat may be expected.
From the programme we are led to be-
lieve that musical treat is in store for
those who may attend. Particulars
hereafter.

inches to two feet in width. It is the
intention to commence milling about the
middle OF this month. The ore will
yield about 500 per ton, and at least 800
tons will be crushed this month.
SILVER PEAK.
The incline of this mine is now down
2l0 feet, and well timbered. There are
now GO tons of good ore on the dump.
The company will begin to mill ore this

the engine, which is of about 3O-horse
power is new, as is also the boiler and all
the machinery. A carpenter shop and
other improvements are soon to be added
to the main building, making it complete
in every respect. Twenty-Five men will
be put to work on Monday, working day
and night.

the 3OO-toot level gives favorable show

DEATH OF RICK MORIARTY, ALIAS
MORGAN COURTNEY.


As our readers already know, shoot
ing affair occurred on Friday evening,
and we gave in our issue Of yesterday as
full an account as we could gather con-
sidering the want of time to prepare it
and the inability on our part to obtain,
during the first excitement caused by the
affair, perfectly true account in every
particular.
We made one actual error in stating
that Moriarty (for this is the true name
OF the deceased) hadifallen to the ground,
as he did not fall.
Yesterday We gave the statement made
blythe dying man, and in this statement
were the words Frank Cleveland gave
him the pistol. George Syphers told
me-" Now, yesterday morning We re-
ceived visit from Mr.. Frank Cleveland,
and that gentleman requested us to say
that he had not given Mckinney his pis-
toll; neither had he given him any pistol.
We cheerfully give space to Mr.. Cleve-
lands statement. With regard to the
brand of the pistol with which the shoot
ing was done, it is, as We stated before,
although many disputed the fact, "E.
Whistler, London, and Sheriff Travis is
our authority for saying SO.
With regard to the characters of the
two men Moriarty and Mckinney, they
are. from what we can learn, not far diff
ferent from cash other, both having killed
men in their time, and both having led
bad lives. As our readers may wish to
have the particulars of the soooting, we
give below a summary of the evidence
given before the Coroner's jury:
Both of the parties were, when the
shooting commenced, in front of. or very
near to, Finnigan's saloon on Main
street, few doors above Meadow Valley.
Mckinney was standing on the sidewalk,
and Moriarty was walking down (proba-
bly, also going on the sidewalk when
the first shot was fred. The men had
apparently been facing each other, when
the first shot was fired, and just as Nc
Kinney fired the second Moriarty started
to turn around, and tried to get out his
pistol, but seemed under some di6culty,

LOCAL MINING REVIEW.
For the week Ending August g, Is7:


During the past week We have to note
the progress improvements at several of
the mines in the building of hosting
works, such as the Raymond & Ely, the
Meadow Valley, and the Silver Peak
mines. We have received no startling
intelligence of the discovery of new
mines, nor have rich strikes been made
to great extent. But neither rich
strikes nor anything else, can give us as
much satisfaction as the large amounts
OF bullion exported from here, and the
steady perseverance OF the miners. in so
many cases rewarded by good results.
CHIEF OF THE HILL.
Shaft down from level of the Burke
tunnel, $50 feet. Still sinking night and
day and will soon attain the depth of 800
leet, when new levels will be run, Ore
in the slopes shows no material change.
A level from the bottom of the Wright
shaft, 210 feet deep, has been run west
$50 feet, showing ore most of the way,
and is still being driven ahead with two
shifts. Working the same number of
men as last week. About rs tons of ore
on the dump, and adding to the pile every
day. Expect to have crushing shortly.
HAVANA.
Since our last report the shaft has been
steadily sunk, and the pay streak has as
steadily widened. 1t is now six feet wide,
and still dipping towards the hanging
wall. There is no longer any doubt that
large and permanent body of ore has
been struck in this mine. In quality,
too, it is constantly improving, and aver
ages very high grade. Two assays. taken
at random, made by Mr.. R. NJ. Cook,
gave the following results: $l42.9l and
S3236O.
CAROLINE.
Sinking the main shaft, which is being
soiidly timbered. Making about foot
10 the shift. The rock is soft and very
favorable for working. The erection of
steam hosting works will be commenced
uuring the ensuing week.
CHIEF EAST Ex.
Still taking out ore from the 225 foot
ievei-the ledge never looked better. 1t

This ledge is fast proving itself one of
the best, if not the very best, niue in
Highland District, rich as it is in veins
of silver ore. The vein in the bottom of
the shaft is now fully two feet wide, all
pay ore. A magnificent specimen is on
exhibition in the Office of James S.
Smith & Co., which gives fair idea of
the average ores of the mine. The tun-
mel which is being run to tap the vein,
has nearly reached it, and it is thought
will cut the ledge some time this week.

SULTAN.

The incline ON the ledge has now at
tanned the depth of ITO feet, at which
point the shaft is all ore, and both walls
are dipping from the shaft. Should this
continue for any distance it must develop
an immense body of ore. There is no
marked change in the character of the
ore. though it isgradually becoming more
decomposed. The quality of ore is i'm

mass.

Much regret Is felt for her untimely end. The body
