DEAD.-Yesterday We heard much to
our regret, Of the death Of our old friend
who lived in Nevada in an early day.
We refer to Mr.. ". R. Duff, who died
short time since in New York. He was
brother of Mr.. j.. K. Duff. the we'll
known secretary Of the Meadow Valley
NJ. Co. Shortly before bis death Mr..
Duff was engaged in building the inter-
oceanic railroad in Honduras. He was
man of great energy. possessed OF
much ability and blameless character.
His relatives must feel that they have
suffered q great loss in which We re-
specially offer them our sincere sympa-
thy.
WArT1SG.-Our citizens are now watch
ing with considerable interest the de.
velopments that an increase in depth
may show in the Raymond & Ely shaft.
We all shall have to possess our souls
with patience for some little time yet.
Sinking and timbering large shaft al
ready 1900 feet deep is not very rapid or
light work. 1t requires care and skill as
well as labor. The task of exploitating
the mine will, however, be carried on
very vigorously, and if that hoped for
bonanza is there, the keen and intelli.
gent eyes in search of it will find it.
SHOOTING ArrRAY.-Last night about
10 o'clock shooting ARRAY occurred in
Chinatown, resulting in the wounding of
Alb Coey, which will doubtless prove
fatal. 1t was a one-sided affair. but one
shot being fred. The ball passed through
the neck just above the collar bone. Alb
Coon did the shooting, the same iudivid.
ual who had q shooting scrape at Bullion.
VILE short time since.

pations render them liable to Federal
