Chronicle states that the entire property

from his hand, the left hip badly LAGER

drift OF tho 1900. foot level Of the Sierra
Nevada mine vas opened for inspection
Tuesday aud was visited by nearly 100
experts, operators, brokers and journal

describes the situation:
The drift starts in a sOuiherly direc-
ton. subsequently turning westward,
strikes the ore body ut au angle OF
about forty degrees. The west side Of
tho drift shows ore Mt n point twenty
feet from the face. On tho east side
ore is encountered about twelve feet
from the face. The side faces of the
drift show q body Of very rich ore, fair
average samples of which nssayed

was gold. Good judges estimate that
the ore would mill $500 10 5000. Much

character Of tho deposit il not m firm

dead body OF Father Mecker WAS found
about one hundred yards from his
house, lying on his back. shot through

was mashed in with some blunt instru-
ment, a piece of barrel stave
was driven into his mouth and one

He was stripped naked and had a bun.

breastwork maze of rock, was found
tho dead body of IN unknown white
man, dressed in n suit of buckskin. Ho
was sitting on his knees, and had his
gun in a position to FIRE. He was shot
through the forehead. From this it mp.
pears chat the Indians are not alone in
their heliish work. The s~upposition is
that the Indians have gone south to
join the Southern Utes. and the impress
sion among the officers OF Merits com
mand is that the Indians Who fought
Thornburg numbered at least seven
hundred.
Thomas Duffy who has just returned
from the front. reports that General
Merritt's command has been fighting
the Indians every day since he-reacRed
Captain Payne's camp. The Indians
are strongly fortified in O commanding
position, the number OF warriors being
estimated at seven hundred, and artil-
lery alone can dislodge them without
great slaughter Of the whites. General
Merritt has about o Thousand fighting
men, but owing 10 the advantage OF po-
sition occupied by the Indians, and
their thorough knowledge OF the coun-
try, five hundred more men are required
to make an attack upon their rear TO
insure til ir dislodgement. Colonel
