Bonanza Ores and Milling.

SAN FnASoIsco. November Ill. G.
Flood was yesterday again on the stand
before George @. Knox, Notary Public.
in the case OF Burke vs.. Flood. he tss-
titled that Mscksy and Fair worked some
Of the Consolidated Virginia ores before
the organization Of the Pacific Mill Com.
pspy, and be had the same interest then
as now. He could not tell how many
mills were employed. but thought his
company owned oil. He didn't know
the price OF milling under the 6rst con-
tract. Fair. as superintendent, sent the
ores to the compsny's mills to be worked
OF the market price. II any contracts
were made Msckay and Fair represented
tho Pacific Mill Company, and Fair. a.
Superintendent, the Consolidated Vir.
ginis Mining Company. Fair could
best tell how he could represent
both companies In making the
contracts. Sixty, I've per cent. OF the
assay value Of the ores was returned,
according to custom. between the com.
panies and as much more a. could be
got out. bu. II the mills failed to run
up to that figure they made good the
deficiency. The Consolidated Virginia
owns the assay Office, which 10 run in Ito
interest. and 1t 10 understood received
pay for outside work. The Consolidated
Virginia did net. he thought, advertise
for bids. II WAS we'll understood that
Flood 4 o'Brisn. Mscksy 4 Fair owned
the mills. therefore nc statements to
that effect were made in the reports to
the companies. He never stated our
profits on milling at any meeting Of the
Consolidated Virginia. He offered TO
sell his interest in the mills to the com.
pany two or three years ago, but the
company would not buy. The absent
stockholders generally were represented
by Charles II. Fish. President Of the
company.

The Morey Forgery More Trouble

Nrw York. November l6.-A SEN
sa,lon was created yesterday by the
arrival Of II. ]. johnson and two friends.
I. was at once suspected that their visit
had something to do with the Morey
letter. aud SO il proved. Mr.. johnson
IL publisher OF a Republican newspaper
at Cumberland. whose appearance in
New York resulted in the detection Of
O'Brien. alias Lindsay. johnson says
he is in search Of evidence to corro-
borate the statement Of O'Brieu-not
given to the pubiio-wherrin two or
three gentlemen OF good rephts in Wash
inRton were implicated In the Chinese
letter conspiracy. He says the Com.
mittss at New York are determined to
drive these men to the wall: but not q
step will be taken against any one until
the evidence OF guilt IL conclusive. But
O'Bien's story 10 corroboratsd by cir
eumstantial evidence. He declined to
give the names tonight. but stated that.
30 far. their Investigations had com.
ple,sly borne out O'Brisn's confession.
and that . sensation might be looked
for. He brought Q page from the hotel
register at Cumberland. which was photo
graphsd. bearing the names Of certain
people who came to Cumberland 10 the
interest OF the Truth newspaper aud the
Democratic Committee. to see Lindsay

Hutchinson, editor OF the Washington
Post, and some members Of Duncan s.

whom johnson 10 after. Whether These
reports be true or not johnson would
not say. but assured your correspondent
that not half the inquiry Of the Chinese
letter forgery was yet known 10 the pub

STATE INsANE AsyLUn.

A correspondent Of the Silrer State sIg.
sssts that the building now occupied by
the State University at Elko be changed

msnt in the matter 10 that the University
has not been 4 success thus far and 10
not likely to be. and by the expenditure
Of 100000 the building can be enlarged
and properly fitted for the insane asylum
which this State has so long needed.
while Q new one would cost Sl00. OOo 81

jscts to the arrangement. ssyinRt would
cost nearer $50. 900 than $40. 200 to
make the requisite change. and then It
would not be stted for the purpose de-
signed. The University is not q failure
BY q means. and with liberal assistance
from the State Treasury 1t can yet b
made q very effective and beneficial insti-
tution. The Times. RsrisU closes with
the opinion that the experiment had bet.

utilize the property for other than edu-
eationsl purposes.
The people Of Elko county certainly
have the most direct interest in the
matter. and in view Of the possibility
that the University may be closed en-.
tirely, perhaps they might prefer having
1t changed to . State Insane Asylum.
Being situated so far from the principal
business and most populsus portions Of
the State. would be considered objection.
able. perhaps. and Carson or Reno
would probably be preferred. We have
enough insane patients now being taken
care Of at Stockton. California. to make
a very respectable start on an asylum
and IL certainly 10 desirable that they
should bs taken care Of in this State in
stead OF being sent to Stockton. Ever
il 1t should cost Q little more to do 80,
the money is all spent in this State
This matter. however. will come up fol-
discussion and action before the mex
Legislature at Carson this winter.
