Mrs. Bowers. the celebrated seeress
of Washoe Valley, says the Enterprise
of last Friday, was in this city ye>ter-
day. The Ophir Grade road being
somewhat blockaded with snow she
was obliged ~ make the trip to this
place by rail. She reported the snOw
in WashOe Valley as being one and a
half feet in depth, although about the
Bowers Mansion premises, from drift.
ing, it had attained a depth of ten feet.
There are plenty of wild fowl sporting
in the vicinity Of Washoe lake. Mrs.
Bowers is OF the opinion that Mr.. DON
nelly, the particulars of whose tragic
fate will he found in another column,
was foully dealt with. The first dis.
covery Of the destruction by fire Of the
cabin i'm which the unfortunate man
lived, was made ON the arrival at
Franktown OF the morning passenger
train from Reno. Mr.. Donnelly was a
man of excellent habits and strictly
temperate. He left Judge OWENS res
idence in Franktown At $3.50 o'clock
night before last. This was the last
time he was seen alive. He was u
member of the Washoe City Lodge of
Freemasons, and had made arrange
ments to attend u ball which was to
have been held at that place on Mon
day evening next. The seeress was in
n prophetic mood and predicted that a
large body of ore would ultimately be
found in the mines of North Virginia.
Referring to the Wells Fargo mine she
stated that the hardest kind of rock
would shortly be encountered, not i'm
the main shaft tut in one of the drifts
of the mine, which having been passed
through, water would be- reached and
then ore. She WAS of the opinion that
heavier machinery would tie required
for the proper development OF the
mine. Stock holders will do well moi to
be too much elated, a. the prediction
smacks of assessments as well rs Of
ore.
