Possibly FOUL PLAY.-Georgo Doane,
former well.known resident of Ward,
but now OF Osoeola. has not been
heard from for four weeks past. He
left Osceola on Mormon wagon for
Salt Lake, it being his purpose to pur-
chase goods in that city. He had on his
person gold dust and coin amounting to
between 81 900 and 81. 500. He shaped
his course for York. on the Utah South.
ern which place can be reached in four
dBys from Osceola, and Salt Lake in one
day from that place. 1t is thought he
may have been foully dealt with some.

hope George may put in an appearance
safe and sound, but his friends are con.
siderably alarmed for bis safety. A, b.
Harvey, of the firm Of Harvey, Clement
Il Co.. has seen fit to visit Osceola with
view to obtain some information con.
corning him. 1t is no part OF our pur-
pose to write an obituary notice for Geo
Doane at the present time, but We fear
the worst. He IL one of the genial sort,
and we are 10th to believe that any one
Is so inhuman to put him out OF the way
for the sake of what he might have about
his person. Ward Reflex.

KILLING AT BoDIE. Sunday last
shooting ARRAY took place at Bodie Dis
trict which resulted in the killing of a
miner by the name OF Big Jack. The
circumstances connected with the affair
are as follows: Big Jack was a miner,
who, although generally peaceable,
would at times become little noisy
under the influence Of liquor. On the
day above named, he having taken in q
greater quantum of exhilsrating bever-
age than he was in the habit of imbibing,
became more violent than usual, but not
dangerous, however. While Jack was
haranguing the crowd who had gathered
to listen to his silly talk and watch his
drunken antics, II deputy shereff named
Charley Davis. better known as One
armed Davis, a former gambler, came
upon the scene and ordered Jack to sub
side, in default of which he threatened
to arrest him. Big Jack, being too
drunk to know what be was taking
about, replied that no ID gambler
could arrest hin, upon which DAVIS
went to his house and armed himself
with double barreiled shotgun. He
Immediately returned to the scene Of
this drunken frolic, and while Big JAcs
was talking 70 some interest d ist- ners.
gesticuiatlng in the widest manner.
Davis ordered him to throw up his
hands. Big Jack seeing shotgun lev
eled at him. in his fright dropped bis
hands instead of obeying the command,
and the instant his hands dropped,
Davis shot him in the breast, killing
him instantly. This uncalled for killing
of harmless intoxicated miner created
the most intense excitement in the camp,
and for self protection the D.. putty Sheriff
was compelled to fee. party of clti.
zens were dispatched after the murderer.

scene of his cowardly action. He Is now

THE Loss OF 4uIoRsiLvEE.

The San Fracisco Stock Report says:
Carload on carload OF quicksilver is
shipped to the Comstock and mono ever
returns. Theoretically in working the
pans and retorting the amalgam all the
quicksilver should be saved. Practically
it is found impossible to prevent the loss
of large proportion. It evaporates, 1t
passes off in tho tailings and in many
reasonable ways manages to make itself
scarce, but the loss is q perpetual puzzle
to milling men. 1t is simply unaccount-
able. With the utmost care and eco
nomical processes the percentage which
disappears still continues extravagantly
high. Millions of dollars worth has
escaped during the comparatively brief
history Of the Comstock 1t is plentiful
in the Carson river, below the mills, that
plates left in the water for short time
become completely amalgamated. The
recovery of the elusive metal has been
attempted in this way. but not enough
can be caught to pay. Many other plans
have been suggested. The quicksilver
in the water is in such minute state
of subdivision that it is not only invisi-
BILE but actually floats with the current
and passes on no one knows where
And yet in time the separate particles
must collect and deposit themselves
somewhere in the river bed. 1t having
been found impossible TO prevent its
escape in the first instance, the next
thing is to hunt after it and bring 1t
back. Men are now engaged in mining
in the bed of the Carson. taking ad-
vantage of the exceptionally low stage
of water-ths lowest for years. The
opportunity for prospecting is good
one, and it is quite probable that some
thing may come of the trial. The quick
silver is certainly there. and it is only

At 4 a. N. yesterday morning those on
the surface at the Ophr works were sur
prsed to see double decker come from
the depths and go gathering into the
sheaves. The occurrence was very like
one that transpired there some months
ago, when the sans man-William Bar
rett-was in charge of the same engine.
The men in attendance were doubly sur
prised to see Mr.. Barrett take his foot
from the brake, walk cooliy to the peg
where his coat was hanging, put it on
aud deliberately walk out of the works.
He had not returned at last accounts.
Luckily, there was no one on the cage
when thus run up into the sheaves, and
equally lucky that it hung there and did
not drop the cars down the shaft to the
bottom. One of the cars caught in the
gallows frame and it WAS found neces-
sary, IN order to remove it, to cut OH
about ten feet of the guides on each side
of the compartment The bonnet of the
cage and the cover of the shaft were also
battered and somewhat broken. The
sheave was badly smashed, the side and
top braces being 30 bent and twisted
that they had to be taken apart and re
pared before they could b. usrd again

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrcuIations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers OF the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something 10 gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in COLI
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell s Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements OF pretenders in
journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 48
