failed to cure dyspepsia and liver com

palpitation of the heart, indigestion,
bad taste in the mouth, &c. Out of the

Held 10 Answer.

Jim Fleming, alias "The Emigrant, ="
who was arrested here a week ago after
an interesting race; in which the officers
for while were distanced, has been
held to answer by Justice Cary of Car
son. to await the action of the Grand
Jury. with bail fixed at 1000. The
Tribune says the evidence was very
strong throughout, and thoroughly con-
WINGED the court and the audience that
Fleming had stolen the watch. 1t was
proven that he came into possession of
the watch about the time it was stolen;
that he told different stories as to how
he came by it. To some he stated that
woman named May Murphy gave it
him; to another that he bought it in
Virginia City, while to one whom he
thought wouldnotgive him away, he said
he stole it from Scoville one night while
the latter was sleeping in the Ormsby
House. Fleming's own story is that he
got it from man named Burk, who
came from Bodie. Jennings actions
while in court, as well as his contradic-
tory statements, was sufficient to fasten
the theft upon him. He could not give
bail and consequently went to Jail.

A. Vein Thirteen Feet Thick Dis

The subjoined, relative to a newly
discovered coal vein, from the Ogden
Dispatch of last Tuesday, is of vast
Importance to the people Of Nevada,
provided. the vein, is as large and the
coal as good as represented. as it will
have a tendency to reduce the price Of
fuel along the railroad. The Dispatch
says:
"For some time past man named
J. Galliher, father-in-law of w. +.
Horspool, of Ogden, has been engaged
in prospecting for a coal bed, which
was thought to exist in the Goose
Creek country, about thirty miles
north OF the Central Pacific Railroad,
and at point about half way between
Tecoma and Lucin. After making a
thorough search in different localities,
he settled. fortunately, upon spot
which. presented a favorable appear
ance. and after sinking shaft to a
depth of about thirty feet, struck a
solid vein of coal, about thirteen feet
thick, from which quite quantity was
brought to the surface: On Saturday
of last week Mr.. Galliher brought a
large valise full of the coal to this city,
which was exhibited to Mr.. r. H.
Pratt and other railroad men, by whom
it was found to present better appear
ance than the Rock Spring, so much
used by our citizens. Several speci-
mems were boxed and sent to the Cen
trail Pacific headquarters in San Fran
cisco, where they will be examined and
decision rendered as to whether the
company will consider it profitable to
develop the mines, and put in branch
road from Lucin to that point for its
transportation.

YANKEE FORK.
nfenis OF Interest About the New
Camp.

Camp.
The Yankee Fork Herald, new
paper published at Bonanza City, has
the following:
The Yankee Fork country cannot be
excelled for its abundance of wood and
living streams of water
The demand for lumber has been
great, and the city would to-day pre-
sent fine appearance if the lumber had
been forthcoming as fast as needed.
From sixty-fve to seventy men are
at present employed on the Challis and
Bonanza wagon road. They are making
good road.
The days are not uncomfortably
warm and the nights are too cool for
mosquitoes to ply their vocation. Very
little rain has fallen for some weeks.
1t is estimated that at present there
are no less than | 900 miners prospect
ing in the mountains of this portion of
Idaho, the result of whose labors can
not be known before early Fall.
A vegetable train from the fruitful
valley of the Boise arrived in town on
the oath instant. Cabbages sold readily
at % cents per pound; potatoes, 20
cents, and other garden truck in pro-
portion.
Bonanza is situated in latitude 44:35,
longitude 1890, and is 400 feet
above the level of the sea. Verify
Bonanza City is high place, and rising
rapidly. AS to whether we are in
Lemhi or Alturas county has been a
question for some time, being claimed
by both counties, and is still an I'M
settled matter.
The first shipment of ore from
Bonanza this season was made by DR..
f., Nc Adair the early part of the
week, los mules taking out % tons of
$500 rock. The ore is from the famous
Lucky Boy and goes to Salt Lake City.
Good reports have from time to time
been brought in from the new quartz
country located about 80 miles up the
Salmon, in or near the Saw Tooth
range. The veins are not wide so far
as developed, but the ore is exceedingly
rich. aFs
1t is less than 200 miles from the
Yankee Fork country to the nearest
point on the Utah & Northern Railway,
and wagon read of 20 to 25 miles
across the mountains will give us the
benefit of near railroad communication.
The carpenters-are busy on the many
new buildings now being erected in
Bonanza and Custer. There are the
finest building sites in these towns of
any mineral country to be found in the
west, and before months have rolled
around they will make respectable
showing for mountain cities.
The Herald wishes to impress upon
the mind of the outside public that at
present this is no country for man to
come to work for wages. Although the
mines are rich. beyond peradventure,
a wagon road must be completed be-
tween Challis and Bonanza and mill
machinery got in before it will be
paradise for the laborlng man. AT pres
ent there are enough. and more than
enough, to do all the work required,
and I'VE cannot conscientiously advise
men to come here expecting to work
for wages. Those already employed
obtain IS per day, but the number
must necessarily be limited until
such time as the road is completed and
mills brought in. Bnt, fer prospectors
with means or capitalists who delight
to own rich mines, we believe there is
no better field to be found anywhere
than the Yankee Fork mineral belt.

Building u Dam.

The Water Works Company have put
men at work digging the foundation for
dam for reservoir in Cross canyon,
They propose digging to the bedrock,
across the canyon and many are OF the
opinion that in doing so, they will find
plenty of wafer. Old miners in this
county know that water sinks in the
gravelly bottoms of canyons, and expe-
rience has taught them that by going to
the bedrock they find plenty of water
where there is none on the surface.
Should this prove to be the case IN
Cross canyon, the volume of water will
be materially increased as soon as the
bed rock is reached.

luence and efforts in harmonic

citation and act in conjunction with the
latter IN securing a uniformity between
the states Of certain laws, and especially
those which relate to the acknowledge

The attendance at the meeting yester-
DAY was slim. There were many members
of the city bar who entirely ignored the
meeting. Ii the association shall have
the effect OF developing a little of the
esprit DE- corps among the Bars OF this city
and State, il will not fail OF at least one
good result, for there is Is little of it rs
in any other locality with which We are
acquainted. The legal profession, when
acting in harmony and led by men of
pure motives, can always be a benefit to
4 community or a State. Those who
were present at the meeting yesterday
were earnest and enthusiastic in their
purpose, and have received encourage
ment from the leading lawyers OF the
State, the most OF whom will doubtless
be present at the meeting for permanent
organization.
