PRISONER KILLED.-On tho arrival of
the train from the west last evening
we learned that Sheriff Agncw of Boise,
Idaho, had been obliged TO kill q pris-
oner at Winncmucca, to prevent his cs-
cape. We did not obtain the name of
the prisoner, but the circumstances
connected with the affair are about rs
follows: The prisoner had been con-
victed Of murder i'll Idaho and senten-
ced to confinement for life, several
years ago. Effecting his escape from
prison, he had succeeded in Guiding
detection for something like four years,
when quite recently lie was discovered
and arrested somewhere in California.
Sheriff Agncw had brought him rs fur rs
Winncmucca Oh tho way back to Idah o,
Mt which place the prisoner attempted
to make his escape last evening. Inv
ing by some means got rid OF his irons,
he made break for liberty. The
Sheriff ordered him to hult, and tsh
command not being needed the officer
shct towards him with his pistol which
only accelerated the conyict's speed,
whereupon n second shot followed
which brought him to fnll stop and
terminated his earthly carear. The
killing was doubtless, under the circum.
stances, n necessity, but that the nee
essity should have arisen, is TO DO de-
plored.
MrCA.-Messrs. Graham and Yockey,
i'll the interest Of San Francisco parties,
have for some time past boon pros poet
ing for mica i'll Ruby Valley, and have
discovered what is supposed TO be the
largest md best deposit OF TINT miner
81 yet found i'll this State. Mr.. Graham
recently shipped to San Francisco two
hundred pounds Of the mica taken from
the new find, the sheets Of which are
bright, clear and elastic, und will
square from six to eight and i'll some
instances ten inches. -Four men h4ro
been employed i'll opening up the
claim, and tho two weeks work which
has been duno upon it show tllat IN
immense body of ore is before them.
On Tuesday Mr.. Graham left for tho
Bay, and will DO absent about ten DAYS.
and upon his return will put much
larger force Of men Mt work. IIc has
had grGnt experience in mica mining,
having visited oil the mines in this
country during the past fow years, and
thinks tho new deposit IL the best he
las examined.
WoRH upon the now Touring mill is
progressing in tho most satisfactory
manner. With the exception of placing
the iron roof, which will arrive hero
in tho course of two or three days, the
building Is HOW enclosed, Rn,l adds ma.
