The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1880-12-11

ago and left hole in the bottom of the
winze. A miner working in the bottom
of the Wine, known as the 460-loot level,
while engaged in picking ore early Tues
day morning, suddenly disappeared
through the bottom of the Wine, and
dropped distance of about thirty feet
into large cave of ore, on the top of
which he had unknowingly been work
ing. The miner swears that he fell
distance of 5000 feet and that it took him
an hour and a half to reach the bottom,
and that he smelt birthstone on the route
The cave is very large and contains vast
quantities of ore. During the week the
men have been engaged timbering
this portion of the mine and making it
safe for them to work in, and they
will to-day start in exploring the new
discovery. Two assays were made Of the
ore, one going $50 and the other $l37 in
silver. We understand that the Day
Co. are making arrangements with the
Bristol M. & M. Company to work 100
tons of ore for them. The Bristol Com
pany agrees to work the ore up to the
highest percentage that they are able to,
just simply charging for the working of
the same. This is the fairest milling
proposition that has every been made in
this section. The general rule here with
our furnace and mill proprietors has been
to hog all the silver produced by custom
ores and bring the owner Of ores in their
debt.
The FARCE OvER.-The McLane farce
terminated in Hamilton Thursday, the
jury standing seven for conviction and
five for acquittal. When Gus Wilson
left Hamilton the jury stood eight for
conviction and four for acquittal, but
we learn that the case terminated as
first mentioned. The law-abiding citi.
zens of Hamilton are greatly disguised at
the way the trial has ended. We
are informed that one of the McLane
brothers remarked that he would bring
George back with him when he returned,
and he came very near making his word
good. When Bishop was pleading before
the jury old McLane and his wife were
bitterly sobbing aloud, and the floor Of
the courtroom was flooded. When
Bishop concluded his talking he was
standing knee-deep in water. One Of
the jurymen, . German, was heard to
snifae several times. It would have been
the proper thing for the Judge to have
ordered an injection Of sauer.kraut for
this tender hearted juryman. It might
have braced him up to do his duty. If
McLane had been convicted the chances
are that he would have been granted
new trial. The friends of the assassin,
and all those who uphold and approve
of murder, robbery and assassination,
worked hard for the reelection of Judge
Beatty This class Of people always know
who their friends are. 80 III

REDEMPTION FUND.-Holders of the
redemption fund scrip do not seem very
anxious to get their money on it. Last
Saturday, when the Commissioners
opened the bids for the $1,000 advertised
as being in the fund, they found only
bids enough to take $452 of the money.
These bids were all put in at 99a cents.
The cause of the scrip selling for such a
high figure, is that the outsiders holding
scrip do not know what it is selling for.
Many of them would be glad to accept
70 cents on the dollor for their scrip, yet
if they would send their scrip here and
put in bids for the money in the redemp-
ton fund, they would be able to get from
80 to IS cents on the dollar. The County
Treasurer this morning advertises $4,000
as being in the redemption fund, fol-
which bids will be received up to Mon
day, December q, 1880.
