The Indians.

New YORK, Jao. 1G.-A special dispatch
dated Tongue River, Cantonment, Dec. 81,
says Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Colonel Of 9TH u.
S. Infantry, has Just returned to his post after
a most successful campaign with ten companies
of that regiment against Sitting Bull and other
hostile chiefs, who moved to the north Of the
Yellow StOuc river in October last. The com
mand numbered 437 men. 1t marched over
GOO miles in 4j days, defeating Sitting Ball in
three distinct engagements, driving him back,
utterly routed and dcmoraliZed, to the Yellow
Stone river, which, it is supposed he will cross
and cndeavor to form junction with Crazy
Horse, who is 10 the Big Horn country, with
an immense camp Of hostile Cheycnnes and
OgslIaas. Gen. Niles was compelled to return
to this post for supplies, but will, within 4
week, start out again on the trail Of the fugitive
chief, and, if possible, prevent his junction with
Crazy Horse, after which he will proceed, with
out returning, to The Cantoument, to attack the
latter. Sitting Bulls followers, which NUN.
bered over 1000 lodges, aud more than 900
well armed warriors, have been so complete
y routed and scattered By General Miles
that there is uow but little doubt Of his capture
or surrender at an curly date if the transporta-
ton which is necessary Tor his pursuit but which:
was nearly exhausted by the recent campaign
will only hold out Tor Il few weeks longer. The
last fight with Sitting Bull occurred 90 the 18th
just Oh the head waters Of lied Water creek.
On that day Lieut.. Frank ID. Baldwin with q
detachment, consisting Of three companies of
the jlh infantry, discovered and attacked his
camp, and completely routed him. Lieutenant
Baldwin captured most Of bis lodges and large
number Of ponies and destroyed all the robes,
meat aud other provisions of the village. The
sufcrings of Gen. MiIess cammaud during the
campaign were very great. At this place, on
the 18th, five prominent Sioux chiefs approach.
cd the post about noon with flag OF truce.
When within a few hundred yards Of the post,
and before their approach was kuown to sin.
gle officer or soldier of the garrison, they were
pounced upon and killed by the Crow scouts,
who belong to the post, aud who, of course, en-
terrain deadly animosty towards every Sioux.
Gen Miles was indignant beyond measure at
the bloody tragedy.

Though there are but few gentlemen in the
State who would be benefited by the dueing
law now before the General Assembly, it i:
hoped that the members Of that body will pass
the bill, and thus do the little they can toward
restoring the old order Of things in the Com.
mouweath; and that, after passing that bill,
they may proceed forthwith to adopt such
measures as may be necessary TO put the late
amendments TO the Constitution into effect.

1t now seems that the Iumor published sornc
time ago, to the eficc! that the commission ap
pointed to define the boundary between the
States Of Maryland and Virginia had agreed
upon their report was incorrect. There is still
point in controversy, and that is the original
location Of Fox Island u Chesapeake Bay
which, it appears, has been changed by the
action Of the wiud and tides since the liue was
first drawn. Senator Beck contends for the
original site, three miles above its present one,
Judge Black proposing that the boundary line
shall divide that island, but as the latter propo-
sition would give much the larger part Of all
the valuable oyster beds in tho Chesapeake to
Maryland, it is not probable the Virginia COM
missioners will agree 10 it.

Murder at Halleck Station.
CITIZENS IN PURSUIT OF THE
MURDERER.

ELKO, June 8.
At Halleck's Station yesterday after
noon, a young man named Jas. Finer
ty, a son of the late Justice Finerty,
was shot through the right breast and
instantly killed by a one-eyed negro
named Sam. Mills. 1t is said Mills
entered the hotel at the Station and
attacked the lady of the house with a
knife. Some man present knocked
him down. and he left the house, 500
returning with a loaded gun, which he
held against the door outside. Young
FinerIy said he was acquainted with
the negro and would pacify him, and
opened the door for that purpose,
when the negro fired with the above
result. The negro then ran of, took
the first horse he met and disappeared.
Three of the citizens armed themselves
and started off in pursuit. AS they
have not been heard from up to this
time nothing is known as TO the result,
but it is said they won't trouble the
county to hang him. Sheriff Seitz, of
this place, promptly went 10 the scene
OF the murder and offered a reward of
500 for his capture.

Variety.

It is curious to see what q variety Ct
goods may be found sometimes in a
small store. AS an example, we call
attention to the Golden Rule, ad-
joining Paxton Il Co.'S Bank. There
you can find a first class selection Of
hats, caps, boots, shoes, white and
fancy calico shirts, wooden shirts,
handkerchiefs, wooden socks and sus-
penders, cotton Undertaking, miners
changes, stationery, postage stamps,
perfumery, tobacco, cigars, window
shades, upholsterer's goods, mattress
ses, blankets, violin and guitar strings,
musical instruments, sheet music and
a string Of other articles too numerous
to mention. 1t is stcnishing what
success Nj. Joseph has met with as a
reward for his industry. He imports
direct from Europe and pays duty on
all the fine cutlery he carries; also
on m~eerschaum pipes. cigar hold.
ers, brier-root pipes, cigar cases, and
many fancy articles, which enables
him to sell these goods lower than any
other house in Eastern Nevada. He is
a liberal dealer, and is d~essrvedly pop
| ular with the people of both town and
neighborhood. His MOTTO in business
is ''chesp for cash." His system has
been from the start ''On price to all
alike" while his polite attention TO all
customers gains for him the friendship
of all with whom he comes in contact.
No wonder that Morris Joseph sue
ceeds in business, nr that We, with so
many others, wish hun continued sue
cess.

In Their Old Quarters.

Burt and Hamilton, alias "Two-two

capped from the county Jail about two
weeks ago, are back in their old quar-
ters. They were identified and arrest
ed in Winnemucca on Wednesday
night last. When arrested, Burt de.
MED that he vas the party wanted,
and he said his name WAS Brown. On
being notified, Sheriff Sias went down,
and last night returned with his pris-
oners. AS they entered the Jail Under
Sheriff Nelson c~omplacently remark
ed: well, boys, have you had a
good time since you left?" but the
boys were reticent, and made no re-
ply. 1t is not all likely they will get
another chance TO escape. There was
some doubt about the original offense
constituting grand larceny, but now il
is a sure thing that they will
take a trip to the Warm Springs.

Case OF SMALLPOX.

There seems to be nc doubt that
there is a case of genuine smallpox
in town. 1t is located a short distance
above the Episcopal Church, on Spring
street. The patient is Miss Lulu
Beardsley, who lately returned from
Bishop Whitaker's school at Reno.
The disease must have been contract
Ell either at Reno or on the way home.
DR.. Bishop, we understand, gives the
opinion that there can be no mistake
about the case being smallpox. Yes
terday the yellow flag was displayed
from the premises, and every precau-
ton is to be used to prevent the
spread of the contagion. We do not
aprrehend that the scourge will be-
come epidemic. Warm weather and
smallpox do not go we'll together. 1t
is well enough to be cautious, but We
do not fear serious consequences from
the appearance at this time, of small
pox in our midst. The old time Eu-
rekans are not likely to get much
alarmed. We had here in February
and March, 1872, nearly one hundred
cases.

A Walla Walla Child Claimed to be
q Second christ.

q Second christ.
1t is not generally known perhaps
that there is a religious sect in this
State which is styled the Morrisites.
1t is an off-shoot from Mormonism
and flourishes to a considerable ex.
tent in Carson valley of this State.
The Carson Valley Ne,Os states that
last summer an ancient pilgrim with
long disheveled hair and disgusting
appearance, who claimed to be the
Prophet Daniel, preached to the Nor.
risites in Genoa. He Informed the
credulous Genoese of the second COM
ing of Christ in the person of a child
born in Walla Walla, Washington Ter.
ritory. This tale of the Prophet Dan.
lei made such an impression on r. j..
Livingston, an old resident Of Genoa,
that he recently sold his property and
has left for Walla Walla that be may
hereafter live and die near Christ. 1t
appears that Livingston is not the only
one in Carson Valley who is infatuated
with this belief, for recently a great
exodus from there to Washington Ter.
ritory has taken place. All of them
want to live and die near Christ. Their
ambition is laudable.

THE PROPERTY A TOTAL LOSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, June s.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.
In the city of San Francisco inquiry
to-day, Benjamin Craig, who had been
for fifteen years master of coast ves-
sells on the Atlantic, contradicted the
testimony of Riddel that the steamer
was only six or seven miles from land
when she struck. The estimated dis.
lance is not less than 10 or II miles.
This corresponds nearly with the tes-
timony of Captain Waddell and other
witnesses.
The most remarkable development
yet brought out by the Pinney trial
has resulted from the examination of
the various certificates in the hands of
the defense by prosecution, the start
ling fact appearing that not one of the
IL certificates deposited by Pinney in
the Masonic Bank and on which $685..
500 i'm gold was loaned him is Endorsed
by the party in whose name it was
drawn and Is valueless as collat-
eral to Pinney's note on which it was
given.
The Hercules powder works, located
between the Aims House and Golden
Gate Park were destroyed about noon
to-day by an explosion in the nitro
glycerine house. The workmen had
all gone to dinner in a house some
three hundred yards distant from the
works. They had just reached the
dining room when the explosion took
place. The report was heard a great
distance. The glycerine house was
blown to atoms, and pieces thrown
several hundred feet. The ground in
the vicinity of the works was strew
with debris, as fine as if it had passed
through a quartz crushing machine.
The conclusion of the atmosphere was
so great that windows and doors were
caved in, several thousand yards dis
tant. Two men only were employed
in the glycerine room. They had run
off the forenoon charge of about 500
pounds of glycerine, and deposited it in
the soda tanks in readiness to be con-
verified into powder before leaving for
dinner. This was all the explosive
material there was in the building.
The contents of the mixing house,
about one hundred yards distant from
the glycerine house, were not effected
by the explosion. There are from o
to IS hands employed about the
works-mostly Cinnamon. Forum
ately they were all at dinner. The
cause OF the explosion is a mystery.
The buildings belonging to the works
were cheaply constructed, and prob
ably SIS 900 will cover the actual loss.
These works were destroyed by an
explosion about two and q half years
ago.

Coal at Palisade.

The recently discovered coal mine at
Palisade is developing into a fine vein.
Messrs. Ferguson & Young are busily
engaged sinking a shaft and have at
tanned a depth of twenty feet. The
vein grows larger and better defined
as developments are made, and the
company are very sanguine Of the fu-
ture importance of the mine. Quite a
quantity Of the article has been brought
to Palisade and submitted to various
tests, all of which have proved that il
is of a superior quality. Johnny Bell
tried it in his engine and claims it is
better than the Rocky Mountain pro-
duct. Prof. Price examined u speci-
men and pronounced it u first-class
article of coal. The benefits that will
accrue to Palisade in the event that it
proves to be a permanent and large
deposit can hardly be estimated. The
great want of the Central Pacific Rail-
road is coal, as at present they are at
the mercy OF the Union Pacific and
draw their supplies from that source.
Any discovery that would render them
independent would Immediately COM
mand a large price, and we have no
doubt but they are watching the de-
velopments at Palisade, ready to be-
come purchasers at the right time.
We hope our Palisade friends may
live to see their to become a second
