The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-12-25


CARSON CRY "601."- The Carson
Tribune of last Saturday publishes the
following as among the antecedents of the
man Burt, hung at that place by a vigil
ance committee !: 1--WE learn from a re-
spectacle citizen in this town that Burt
was considered a very disreputable char
acter when living at Hamilton, White
Pine county, and that by the interior
ence of our informant he was saved from
death at the hands of the people of Ham
ilton for conduct similar to that practiced
by him in this town and further, that
when he left White Pine he made his es-
cape from Jail. R~etributive justice has
at length overtaken Burt" We think
the Iribune's informant is wrong in re-
gard to Burt's behavior while in these
parts. He was a gambling man on
Treasure Hill at one time, and those ac-
quainted with him say that he was not a
bad man while living there. We have
made inquiries as to any act Burt may
have committed in this town, but have
failed to find anything against him. Ex-
Sheriff Patterson informs US that he
has examined the prison records. and
does not find the name of Burt appear
ing on them. There are but few persons
here who have any recollection of the
man Burt.
REPORT OF Mr.. WILD.-On the first
page of to-day's issue will be found a
very interesting report on the Eberhardt
Il Aurora Company's mines on Treasure
Hill. The report is made by Mr.. J..
Wild, one of the directors of the COM
pany, who was sent here from London to
make a thorough examination of the
property. The report is very thorough
and comprehensive, and will be read with
interest by all connected with mining
matters. and particularly SO by those re-
siding in this locality. The report is a
very favorable one to this district, and
we are pleased to know that the English
Board of Directors fully endorse it.
A MIsTAKE.-A lady friend took us to
task for calling the Episcopal Church
here by the wrong name, last week. She
SAID we called it St. James, when it
should have been st. Luke's. We are
willing to leave it out to Capt. Strickland,
Caspar Schmidt and Judge Waters, if,
when we were members, that they called
it st. James.
GONE TO CALIFORNIA Monday last
Superintendent Fulton, of the Ward
Beecher and other mines in this district.
left for California, where he will spend
the Winter with his family. This looks
like there was no more work to be done
this Winter on the mines of which he
has been superintendent.
INvITATIoN.--Jackson, of the Jackson
Hotel, is getting liberal since the birth
of his new girl baby. 1t being the first
one he has had-we mean oil the girl
species--he requests US to invite his
friends to call in the morning and take a
nogg with him.
