where it grows in great profusion, it will
prove great benefit to farmers and gar

the plant and its functions "The sundew

VARYvILLE, June 8, 1875.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: After rest of
seven or eight weeks again commence
work. Last night was cold and rainy /;
snow fell on the mountains east of
town. and to-day it is quite comfort
able with heavy overcoat on, provided
you get near hot stove, but not other
wise.
Colonel Vary will commence clean
ing up his run from the arastra to-
morrow. The ore was from the Gaddy
mine, and the prospect is quite fattor-
ing for good yield in gold.
About fifty ont of the one hundred
tons of ore from the Badger to be
crushed the present run at the quartz
mill have already passed through the
battery, and to-day the mill is doing
we'll. All the knowing ones about
town predict big cleanup in a few
days. Should there be mistake, the
fault is not in the rock crushed, be as
sured.
There is bnt little being done here
now, as the mill and arastra can en-
ploy but ten or twelve men constantly.
The Independent, under the manage
ment of Judge Green aud company, is
being fairly prospected, and now looks
well. Some parties from Surprise Val
ley struck very rich ore on the road
between this place and Snow Greek. l
WAS shown the ore, but not informed
of the near locality. Mystery. you
know, is important in all mems bust
ness. Great men-politicians as we'll
as ministers do so love to mystify.
For example see Grants third-term
letter.
The copper mines here, of which
there are some certainly very rich ones.
appear to command more attention
than in times past.
Frank Snapp, very clever little gen.
tleman. is agent for lumber yard re-
Gently established here.
Old Joe Snapp, the expressman,
leaves here to-day, whether for his
ranch or Winnemucca, can not say.
Few men would have done for the pub
lie. and varyville in particular, what
Joe Snapp has done for the last six
months. Only for him we Varyvillians
would have been without any mail
communication with the outside world.
He has our heartfelt thanks.
Mr.. W. H. Farrar passed through on
tour few days since on his way to
Winnemucca. He is in the employ Of
party of capitalists who are looking
out railroad line from WInnemucca
to Eugene City, Oregon, in charge of a
party of surveyors. Let the company
hurry up, that the people may know
where the road is to run, and when the
work is to be commenced and compile
ted. Some of us cannot live always;
hence our extreme anxiety. PIUTE.

Two Little Girss Outraged In
Switzerland Township The
Perpetrators OF the Crime in

One of the most brutal and horrible
outrages ever perpetrated in this county
occurred in Switzerland township, the
18th ult. The particulars are as fol-
lows:
On the day mentioned WINFIELD S.
Troy, married man, and JOHN A.
MEssERLY, young man aged 22,years,
residents of Claringlon, in Salem town
ship, went to the residence of Mr.. Cor
LElB DOSE, in Switzerland township, three
miles from Clarington, at II o'clock, in
quired for cider, were informed by Mr..
D. that he had none, when they went
away. From there they went to FRED.
WALTERS and obtained one quart OF; ci-
der. In the afternoon, about4 o'clock,
they returned and found Mr.. Dosz' little
daughters, CAROLINE, aged 7, and MIN
ME, aged 6 years, playing in the woods
about one-fourth of a(mile from their
home. Here they conceived the devil,
ish thought of outragiRg the little girls,
and, as alleged by their parents, didlin-
jure them in o. terrible manner. The
children returned home and informed
their mother that the men who had been
at their house at noon had caught them
and scted as above stated. Mrs. d.
saw Troy and MEssERLY running away
from where the children had been.
Mr.. Dosz went Immediately to Clar-
ington and W. T. HURD, Esq, issued
warrants for the arrest of Troy end
MEssERLY. The latter was arrested, but
managed to escape from the officer hav.
ing charge of him. Troy fled, and was
arrested at the Christman House, in
Wheeling, the 3lst ult and, in default of
81, 900 bail, was committed to jail to
await the action of our authorities. A
description of MEssERLY was sent TO
Wheeling, and on the 1st inst, officer
Bob JUNKINs tapped him on the shoul-
der,near the Opera House, and Informed
him he was exactly the man he wanted.
MEssERLY was taken before Esq GILES
Ply and, in default of 81 ,0o0 bail, Commit
ted.
