The Virginia Chronicle Of the sih says:

and carpenter shop OF the Con. Virginia

The FL Dorado Canyon Coal Company
have struck new formation in the shaft
being sunk by them, which Superintend-
ent Dagget says ia good coal, and just
the thing for which they have been look
ing. A coal mine in this locality would
prove q source of great wealth to the
owners and be OF most eminent import
ance to the community, where fuel has
to be brought from such great distances.
The man Best, says the Carson Trib-
une Of the 9Th, who assisted in the muir
der OF Sloan, has not been captured up
to the time OF going TO press. Sheriff
tracked him to American Flat. and the
officers OF the adjoining counties are on
his track. There are rumors afloat that
Sloan was q victim to something else
than the i'll feeling OF his antagonists.
| II such is the case the man Best will
doubtless be. in measure, protected.
From the Silver City Reporter Of the
9th we learn little seven-year old son
Of Mr.. Hickey. residing just above the
Justice hosting works, fell in the new
shaft being sunk on the fiat opposite the
Justice mine, at about six o'clock last
evening and was killed. Last night
the officers made raid on Chinese
gambling den in this town, capturing
thirteen fan tan" inanipulators.
They were all promptly lodged in the
calaboose.
The Elko Independent of the 9th re-
marks: We met our old acquain lance
Ed. Cargeaux. Of Railroad District, on
the street yesterday, he having just de-
scended from his mountain home to see
the sights of the lower levels. He informs
us that the Empire City Company is still
driving ahead with its tunnel and the
indications are that ore is being APP
preached. Some of the old copper
claims that have been lying idle for some
time past are again being successfully
worked, and this particular industry will
probably be vigorously prosecuted dur
ing the coming season, as the mines are
yielding handsomely and the ore is Of
excellent quality.
Speaking Of the murder at Empire the
Carson Appeal says: We cannot suffer
the killing of Sloan at Empire to pass
by without expressing an opinion Of its
atrocity. It was as cowardly murder
as that of poor Wilson by Pierce-if the
testimoney adduced before the Coroner's
Jury is to be believed. Here is a man
beaten with pistol upon the forehead
until he is dazed and crazed, attacked
from both sides simultaneously and shot
down dead. What mockery it is TO talk
OF man in his condition doing anything
against such odds. The murderer al
ways seeks a technical cause to dispatch
his victim. There is every appearance
Of conspiracy in this bloody business
as there is every reason for pronouncine
the killing dastardly. cold blooded,
vengeful murder.
Edward Miller. employed in the Con-
solidated Virginia mine, was severely
injured by blast. He had charged, and
tamped the powder, and lit the fuse.
Whether it was owing to the fuse being
an exceedingly quick one, or the hole
being improperly tamped is uncertain.
He had not turned his back before the
charge exploded. fearfully mangling him.
A piece OF rock passed through his left
arm. near the shoulder, making an aper-
ture through which three fingers can be
passed His left breast is completely
pepered with quartz, while his arm is as
black as coal. His face is also badly
black ened. and it ia feared he will lose
his left eye. The conclusion was SO
severe that it has brought on an attack
of pneumonia.
We find from the Carson Tribune of
the 9Th that charter, duly signed and
sealed, has been received by the follow
ing gentlemen, residents of Empire city,
to wit: q. G. Bryant, Peter Warner. l..
s. Bowden, o. w. Ward and John Brad.
ley. authorizing them. the said charter
members. TO institute Lying Club un.
der the rules of the order. The docu-
ment il signed by Fred Hart of Austin,
Lander county, rs High Priest of all the
liars in Nevada. The Tribune saws:
Who the President is likely to be has not
yet transpired, as Ike Bowden states the
liars Of Empire city and at the mills are
so thick and SO entirely mp at the bust
ness that il becomes difficult to select the
most capable. We beg leave to suggest
the present Justice Of the Peace of the
township as President of the club.
