Ore DUST. The Sheba Mining Com
pany at Star City are sacking some
thirty or forty tons of ore dust for the
purpose of having it roasted and ANAL
oamated at the Humboldt Reduction
Works. This dust is from the ore
worked in the Krom Concentrator and
arises from the ore which is crushed
dry between rollers by that process
This Concentrator at Galena, which is
running steadily, will undoubtedly
furnish several tons Of this ore dust
monthly for reduction at this place.

The Prominent Leads discovered,
and the Developments Made =
Rfell Ore.

Rich Ore.
A lot of ore from the Wagontown
mines, now on exhibition. at the Win.
nemucca Hotel, is creating an excite
ment among mining men who have
seen it. One of the owners of the
Henrietta mine, from which it was
taken, furnishes the following iufor-
nation relative to the new district,
which. from the appearance of the
specimens, is destined, at no distant
day. to become noted:
Wagontown is situated on the Win
nemucca and Silver City road, about
eight miles south of the town of Silver
City. The mines which were recently
discovered are situated in mountain
range short distance from the road.
The formation is variety oe porphyry,
which, in the wal!s~of the veins, is a
little too hard to pick, and almost too
soft to blast. The ledge runs a little
west of north, and dips to the west at
an angle of about 80 degrees. The
lodges which have been developed to
any extent, are the Henrietta, Webfoot,
Maggie, Mace and the st. Clair, though
many other promising locations have
been made. All the lodges are we'll
defined aud show more or less good
ore. The Henrietta, from which the
specimens shown us were taken, was
discovered by Ave miners named re-
spectively, W. II. Oslesby, Joseph
Mace, w. Brockie. b. Harkins aud
John Burke, and is prospected by
shaft so feet deep. The vein is about
twenty feet wide, and in this
are streahs of ore from eight inches
to two feet wide, samples of which as
say from 3,l6G to SCOOPS per tor !;
about twelve per cent. of Which was
gold. Some of the specimens brought
here weigh several pounds, and con-
tain such high percentage of silver
as to render them malleable. Three
tons of ore from this mine has been
brought here for reduction, about 800
pounds of which is first class. The
owners are practiced miners, and they
Intend to have sufficient ore worked
here from time to time to pay for sup
plies used in developing the niue.
Our informant says there is no doubt
as to the permanency of the lodges,
and he believes that hourishing camp
will spring up at Wagontown. At
present the number of men ut work
there does not exceed fifty.

Skeptical persons who do not believe
in the theory OF spontaneous combus-
ton can see a practical illustration of
the subject in this place at the present
time. We do not mean that an old
topper has caught fire and burned up as
has once or twice been announced in
the East within the last few years, but
that a coal pile had generated sufficient
heat to burn it mp, were it not for a
plentiful supply of water. East of the
railroad track, below the depot, there is
pile of coal containing about FIVE hun
dred tons, which belongs to the rail-
road company. 1t is heaped on an
elevated platform several feet from the
ground. This pile has been on fire two
or three times within the last few days
from the heat generated within itself,
and he'd to be well wetted to prevent it
from burning mp. Henry McKerrow,
'he ioien"n w TIC IaiHodu coibpduy
here, informs US that the coal generates
a gas. which burns at low temperature
and catches fire spontaneously. The
heap from this cause has been on fire
several times, and notwithstanding it
has been saturated with water it re.
quires close attention to prevent it from
burning.

In the Rovor murder caso, tried In
the District Court Of Humboldt coun-
", Judge Bonniield, Notwithstanding
the irrsgularity in the verdict. as
claimed by counsel for the defendant,
overruled the motion for . new trial
last Saturday, and thereupon proceed
ID to pronounce sentence ~ follows:
sIt IL ordered and adjudged, and It is
the sentence. and judgment Of this
Court thaAyou be, and you are hereby
remanded TO the custody Of the Sheriff
OF Humboldt county, to be by him Sc
curely confined and keptin the County
Jail until : day fixed by warrant for
your execution, and that you, J. w.
Rover, on q day 10 be fixed by warrant
for such purpose, between sunrise and
sunset, be taken by the Sheriff of Hum
boldt county from the County Jail to
. place Of execution prepared for the
purpose, and then be hanged by the
neck until You are dead, and may God
have mercy on your SOUL" Later in
the day the death warrant was placed
In the hands OF the Sheriff, naming
Friday, September oath, as the time
for the execution to take place. The
Silver State has the following on the
subject:
In cases where the punishment is
death the law provides that the %
tence shall be carried into execution
within sixty days from the time of the
sentence. In accordance with this pro-
vision the Judge fixed the time for the
execution Of Rover on Friday, the Oath
day Of September next. The misera-
BILE man appeared to be slightly affect
ed when the Court proceeded to pro-
nounce the judgment of the law upon
him, but recovered from the shock i'm
mediately, and maintained his usual
equanimity during the time the sen
tenoe was being pronounced, after
which he walked of with the Sheriff,
apparently Indifferent as to his fate.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF TEX
ROCKS

Bancroft d Co. have forwarded to us
sam Piles of their new "Paciiic Coast
Readers" which they are anxious to
introduce in the public schools OF this
State. A letter accompanying the
books states that the change will be
made without expense to q people,
the proposition being to change the
new for the old text books solely at
the expense Of the publishers of the
new series. With Messrs. Bancroft q
Co. this is . simple business PROPOSE
ton. They doubtless calculate that If
they can once get their books adopted
and introduced the profits arising from
future sales will amply compen-
safe them for all losses they may
sustain in effecting the change. If the
"Pacifc Coast Readers" are more de-
than those now in use, we car
see no special objection to tho pro-
posed change, more particularly IL the
will fix q fair standard OF
prices for supplying all demands that
may hereafter be made. We don't
pretend to give an opinion concerning
the usefulness and general utility of
