A few weeks ago q teamster named
George Meyers, who was engaged in freight
ing from the railroad to Boise, mysterious
ly disappeared, and q man named Henry
Mcdonald had possession Of his team,
which he claimed to have purchased. As
nothing could be learned Of the where

foul play, and the authorities arrested Nc
Donald, who is now in Jail at Boise. The
Democrat says that the prisoner, whether
guilty or innocent. manifests an indifer-
epce to the terrible position in which he is
placed that is perfectly appalling. His
stories are full Of contradictions, and he
at all times maintains a rigid silence upon
explanations that he could and should
make were he innocent. II guilty-and
the circumstantial evidence is most damn
ing-the fearful crime will be clearly
traced to him, as sure as the sun shines.

DISTRICT.
A New Arizona Mining Camp.


We have . letter before us, says the Pr
oche Record, from Chiricahua City, q new
mining camp about sixty miles from
Tombstone. Arizona, and in the same
county. which says: The Texas and Dunn
mines here were originally purchased by o
Pennsylvania oil company for $40, 900
each. The Dunn has since been sold
again the exact figures I have not learned,
but heard 1t was $40, 900. One-fourth Of
the Texas has since been sold for $40, 900.
The Texas shaft is seventy feet deep. with
ore everywhere in sight. Seven assays
were made yesterday. The lowest was $40
and the highest S4lS per ton. The ore Is
all smelling. The property is considered
cheap at 500, 900. This is the only mine
prospected to any extent. Another mine
has been bonded for $40. 900. and one for
SO. 500 one sold for 50, 800, another for
$3.50, aud two for $500. So you see we are
already figuring q little in the financial
world. John r. James was here about q
week since, and expressed himself as very
we'll pleased with the outlook. Charley
Forman. ~ Phoebe and Virginia City, has
also been here, aud Mr.. Head, Of San Fran
cisco. We had five Eastern capitalists pay
us q visit some DAYS since, WI Of whom
remain here yet. Our population has in
creased thirty men in two days, and they
are coming in thick and fast. Wood is
pretty plenty, and there Is water in suffl-
cient quantities for all camp and furnace
purposes. The survey for the town site
began this morning. and for . scene OF ex-
element and confusion it beat ell ! have
ever seen. As fast a. the lots were staked
off they were nailed. aud the day wore
away with some very loud talk, but no
fights. The Superintendent OF the Texas
mine will start for San Francisco Wednes-
day morning for q furnace. We expect to
see II running in forty days, aud then we
will have q boom In California District.

The Case Of Lopez.

Says the Carson Tribune: Sheriff Ben
Fitch will take back Jose Lopez to Elko
for trial for murder, the Supreme Court
having granted him a new trial. About a
year ago Lopez was convicted Of the dou-
Bile crime of horse-stealiDg and murder.
Judge Flack sentenced Lopez to two years
in the State Prison for the first o~ffense,
and in the same breath sentenced him to
be hung the following month. A stay Of
proceedings was granted, and Lopez con-
veyed to the State Prison, where he has
been ever since. 1t is a peculiar case, and
non can guess the outcome of it.
