A
where the Rich Ore in h Eureka
Tunnel is Found.


The mines known as the Magnet, Mazep,
D~esperandum and Nil were yesterday
bonded to Messrs. Foley and Wren by
Maurice Hartnett, Lawrence Hartnett and
Alexander Frazer, for the sum of S50, 900.
Three thousand dollars to be paid April
/, and SAT 1000 July /, 1883. In regard to
this purchase, the Evening Leader says.
"We noticed q few days since that the
rich ore now being taken out OF the
Eureka Tunnel was pitching into these
mining claims. Messrs. Foley and Wren
are under the impression that the Eureka
Tunnel Company is across the line, and
working upon these claims"
Our neighbor labors under 8 misappre-
hension. In an interview with Gen. Con-
nor last night we learned that the extreme
point OF the ore body in the Eureka Tun-
mel which has been worked ia not within
1850. feet Of either Of the claims bonded.
This was determined less than two weeks
ago by a survey made by T. j. Read.
This Is one of the five explored ore
bodies in the Eureka Tunnel on the
north, the other four, which are tho
main ore producers, being on the south
of the tunnel line on the oompany's "
patented ground. Since the survey the
ore body has not been worked N fur
ther in a northerly direction. Further,
the direction Of the ore body has changed,
and now runs northeast, dipping east,
which would carry it beyond the bonded
claims. The claims purchased by Messrs.
Foley & Wren have the reputation in this
district OF being excellent prospects, and
they would doubtless pay handsomely II
developed. We hope to see work begun
on them very soon, because we peiieve
they will prove to be paying properties.

THE BANK INDUCEMENTS.
They Are Held s0 ne hinding-De.
murrers OF the Attorneys.

murrefa OF the attorneys
Court opened. says the Reno Gazette,
and Judge King Immediately moved that
the indictments against L. 7. Crockett
and J. II. Kinkead ne qTsshed, because
tho indictment on the back read ''Second
Judicial District" instead Of Seventh"
as it now is. He held that it rendered the
indictment Of no effect. District Attor-
ney Alexander read q law allowing an in.
dictment to be amended in such cases.
General Clarke argued that the indictment,
before it could be said to be legally
brought, must be received in open court,
in the presence Of the Grand Jury and
filed. In filing this indictment the clerk
Endorsed it incorrectly and there was
nothing to show in this court that there
was any indictment against the parties.
He held that as the Grand Jury was dis
charged and the amendment could not be
made in their presence that none could be
made. Alexander read laws to show that
no indictment is void IN account OF a mere
matter Of form, and this he held to be
simply q clerical error. Judge Boardman
ruled, that the clerk, in simply indorsing
on the back and making an error had no
force, and denied the motion. The defense
demurred, first for Crockett, then for
Kinkead, on the ground that it is not
shown that the facts constitute a public
o~ffense, and that 1t is not alleged that
Crockett was a servant, officer or employe;
that more than one offence Is charged, /. O.,
embezzlement, larceny, etc. The demur.
rers will be ruled on next Wednesday.

An Interesting Dog.

Jim orndorff has the boss bulldog IN
the country. He Ia a splendid specimen
Of the canine to be viewed Of a respectable
distance. He has q chest that Is nearly as
broad as he Is long, and eyes that literally
talk Of fight and blood. A man who could
look down into a six-shooter or stand be-
fore A bowie knife without fiinching would
wilt with fear and tremble as a leaf If he
should come suddenly into the glaring
presence of this brute with no reliable
chain between them. The sight OF another
dog puts him in q frenzy, and woe to that
other dog IN case he should not show a
pair Of clean heels if he should get loose
from his chain. The brute Is q perfect
animal Of his ferocious kind, and has never
been whipped vet. His game is to fight
awhile, until he gets good and hot, when
he works low down and chew. of the Nj
legs Of the dog that has the III luck 70 be
pitted against him. Orndorfs bull! ID rot
4 nice thing for a lady's pet, but he Is o
very interesting dog nevertheless.

Description Of the Minas PrietRs
Mine in sonora.
The following letter was written by VIM.
Mcdonald to Archie McQuaig, and pub
lished in the Phoebe Record Of Jan. ~:
81 came down here about two months ago
and have got charge Of the Minas Prietas
mine. 1t is quite a busy little place. We
are working $50 men, the most of them
natives, who are paid ten bits per day, and
it is as much as the most of them are
worth. We have good hoisting-works on
the mine, two cages running, and hoist
from 100 to 100 tons Of ore per day. II
mill 10 located some 400 yards from the
mine and brushes from 100 to ITO tons a
day, and it makes us hump to keep it q
running. The ledge is large but irregular
and the ore makes in lunches. The mill
ers do their stopping ~underhauded, the ma
tives being no account at working over
head, so we work down instead Of up. The
mine has reached the depth OF 800 feet,
and owing to the water in the mine, have
ceased sinking, but will resume shortly.
The water pumped out OF the mine sup
plies the mill and town. There are about
1000 people here, all Mexicans and Jakies,
with the exception of about 60 men, who
work at the mine and mill. There is not
a white woman in camp. Board is 81 per
week, and the grub very poor. White
miners receive 81 per day, blacksmiths So,
carpenters So, shift bosses SIS, engineers

four gang bosses, who point the holes for
the natives and blast the same. Twelve
white miners are all I have, the balance
being Mexicans. This is a nice place to
live and the finest climate l have ever
seen. l have not had q coat IN this Win
ter. The railroad comes within Is miles
of town, and you can be in Tombstone in
"a hours after leaving here. I have a fine
fellow for a servant and we get along nice
ly; but this is a lonesome place to be. II
a person could only talk the language he
would be all right. The town is full Of

we'll be none when a person cannot talk

He PrOnOunces n Star Route
Trial n Fraud anu ~ sham.
A Halifax dispatch Of the goth has the
following concerning a noted White Finer:
Ex-United States Senator G.. E. Spencer
has been spending a few weeks in Canada,
and sails to- morrow for Liverpool in the
Polynesian. The Senator, after remaining
in Toronto and Cape Vincent with friends,
arrived here last night, and was seen by a
correspondent, who obtained from him
some important information in connection
with the celebrated Star Route trial, now
in progress at Washington. The Senator
is a portly and rather distinguished-look-
ing gentleman, about 48 years of age. He
has had an active career, both as a soldier
and a politician, having served in the
United States Army through the entire
civil war, and at one time was Colonel of
the First Alabama Cavalry, United States
Volunteers. He retired at the close of the
war as a brevetted Major General, and en-
tered public life. He was twice elected
United States Senator from Alabama.
His present place Of residence is Osceola,
Nevada, where he is engaged in mining
pursuits. His position as a witness in the
Star Route trials is generally supposed to
DO an exceedingly important one, and
tueIe appear 10 DC 30 many theories as to
what he really knows and what the trials
really are for, that it was with much diff
Guilty that the following was secured: SEN
ator Spencer was the first to discover the
existence of the fraud known as the Star
Route frauds, and communicated the facts
in strict confidence to the Chief of the
Postoffice Department, and received that
officers word that under no circumstances
whatever would Senator Spencer's name
be made public in connection with the trial.
AS a result of this information a saving has
been effected to the Postofice Department
by canceling millions of dollars worth of
bogus contracts, so that now the Depart
ment has become self-sustaining, and the
postal authorities are considering a reduc-
ton in the postage rates from three to two
cents. Senator Spencer pronounced the
trial at Washington as a fraud and a sham, |
and those in charge of it as only masquer-
aiding before the American public. He
says that SO far they have spent $500, 900 |
of the peoples money in a trial that they
do not expect or wish should succeed.
The Senator is quite willing to depose in
London before any competent commits
sion, but he says he has no idea of dane |
ing attendance at the trial in Washington
at the cost of his private business, which
Is OF much importance to him.

TOO MUCH IMAGINATION.

An Indignant Denial OF Lawless-
ness In Southern Nevada.
The press Of California and Nevada for
the past week, says the Candelaria True
Fissure, has contained several bloody
stories Of murders and robberies committed
in the southern part Of this county. They
were all read with interest by the people of
this community, who are in possession Of
nearly all the facts, and who smile At the
absurdity Of so much exaggeration Of the
actual truth. Somebody has run in a cold
deck on the reporter Of the Carson Appeal,
and he in turn has drawn on his imagin-
alton 30 strongly that a really sensational
item was the result. To prove the redic-
ulosity of the latest item, as it appeared in
the Reno Gazette: 1t stated that John
Chiatovich, proprietor of tho store at Sill
yer Peak, was among those murdered,
while he was at Aurora attending to some
business matters. and passed through here
in response to a summons from his home,
at the scene of the ''bloody tragedy" In
regard to the death of S. H. Squire OF Gold
Mountain, it may be said that letters have
been received here from that gentleman,
anu OtnerS nOtlceu III lrauSlt, Indicating
quite forcibly, that he is still in the full
enjoyment of life and health. The item,
as published in this paper last week, con-
tains all that has TRANSFERRED, and can be
relied on. The report that there are no
officers south of this point is also untrue,
there being a Deputy Sheriff and Consta-
BILE at Gold Mountain. Tits to be hoped
that the Governor will rescind any orders
he may have issued calling out the militia,
for the purpose Of exterminating the out
laws of Southwestern Nevada. There are
but few people in that part Of the State,
and they are all tending to their various
avocations of agriculture and mining.
This place has two lines of telegraph con-
Meeting it with the balance Of the world,
either Of them could be used, and informa-
ton gained before too much credit is
given where it does not belong by such
blood-curdling tales of horror.

The Big Ditch.

The warm weather and melting SHOWS
are producing o large volume of water,
which rushes through the canyon with
considerable force. But the residents
along Spring street complain that the
right advantage is not taken of the
current. They went the proper authori-
ties to flush the big ditch and clean it out
thoroughly. 1t is believed that by careful
damming this can be accomplished with
little or no expense. Something should
be done to clean the ditch, and the chance
appears to be afforded now. And what is
lone in the matter should be done at
once, as the favorable opportunity for the
much needed cleansing that is presented
now may not occur again during the
season,

If there we're more men like Ross, the
express messenger who successfully de-
Tended his car against a gang of outlaws
on the Central Pacific Railroad on Sunday
morning, perhaps we should not hear Of
80 many train robberies. The robbers de-
pend upon being able to intimidate their
victims, and they usually succeed; but in
this case they met a brave man. who did
not lose his presence of mind at the sight
of a pistol.-New York Sun.
Ross bravery is not of the kind stated
by the Sun. 1t was not the sight Of a pis-
toll that he had to bear up against. Hs
saw no pistols, but felt several Of them,
and heard many more.
