were there, we have been unable to get
any direct facts as to the killing of jerks.
They are the most thorough breed of
'know nothings" that we ever run across
They appear to fear each other. How
ever, through one way and another, we
have learned little something in regard
the outrage. As an exhibit Of the merci-
less and memorable class of people who
infe5t that section, we will cite the fol-
lowing: After the killing of Jenk. and
his body remaining where fallen, when
shot, 70. couple of days, A. w. Geer,
moved by the tender impulses that
swelled within his bosom, probably,
placed the body in wagon and brought
it up to Hike. The body was then taken
from the wagon, placed on the ground,
and few shovels of alkali dirt thrown
around it. The body was covered with
earth, excepting the breast. Owing to
the hot weather the body rapidly decom-
posed, and the stencil carried by the
breeze into the re ,idences was indeed
sickening. Joe McGutiie made complaint
20 the Justice of the Peace, and after
considerable kicking, the people OF Hike
dug grave six feet deep, placed the
body of the man whom some of them as.
sisted in numbering but few days be-
fore in the grave, and Mrs McGutfie read
short funeral service. Charley jerks
had worked for aud with these people
for several years, and after having killed
him, they neglecting to bury the body,
until compelled to for their own benefit,
shows what heartless crowd they are.
We are unable to learn where jerks was
originally from, the people appearing to
fear opening their mouth in regard to
anything connected with jerks
III DoRADo-Siining at FL Dorado
Canyon is very active at the present,
The mill Of the Southwestern Company
continues running steadily and has ship.
ped many thousand dollars in bullion
since the mill first dropped stamps this
run. The Techatticup mine keeps on
yielding its usual quantity of high grade
ore. The Southwestern Company is now
making money, which they de erve, for
they are an energetic and live company.
The mines in the Canyon are all looking
well, and several of those owned by
Cronin L Co. are valuable property. The
chloriders are pretty much all doing
well, and several of them have been for
tunate in making nice little stake
The people of Ell Dorado are prosperous
and sweltering, taken as a whole.
TAYLOR DIsTIcr. Shier, who
has been on trip to Taylor District, re-
ports the appearances about that place as
being rather lively. There are about 90
men to work and several buildings under
construction. The deepest mine in the
district, he tells, is not to exceed so feet.
He states that although the mines give
great promise, it is his opinion that PEG.
pie had better not 60 there for the pres
ent, and give those who are doing bust
ness there chance. John Quinn, since
the opening of his saloon, has been max
ing money.
IT is said, remarks the Beaver UTAH
Record, that the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad Company has commenced the
grading Of line OF railroad from Thistle
Valley, on the eastern edge of Utah Ter
ritory, to the Sewer Valley, intending to
come thence through Clear Creek Can
yon, where their grade is already nearly
completed to Cove Creek in Willard
county; thence to Antelope Springs in
the lower Beaver Valley, and thence to
Southeastern Nevada and other points in
the Southwest.
The King6sher claim of Jackrabbit
District is improving greatly. J. c.
Lynch received letter stating that the
ground indicates large bonanza close
by. The work of sinking is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as two shifts OF miners
can do it. The formation OF this ground
IS very loose, giving the owners Of the
claim their sanguine hopes.
JAS. CALLAGHAN, who has been sick
with consumption in town for the past
several years, died on last Monday about
noon. He had been lingering on the
verge OF death for long time, and when
ne was taken to that bourne from which
no traveller ever returns, it must have
been great relief to him. He was a
native OF Ireland.
THERE is considerable sickness among
the children at White River. Nye
county. Miss Mary Clinton, who has
been out at White River teaching school,
arrived home Tuesday, the school hav.
ing been closed for the time being owing
10 the children being sick with the
measles.
THE failing mill at the lower end of
town continues turning out the amagam
at a rate far beyond expectation, and the
own RS are happy. They are the only
men in town accumulating fortune,
The machinests are busy putting in a new
boiler.
Owing to the large quantity of water
used by the ranchers in irrigating the Dry
Valley mill is able to run but little more
than half time. Then again trouble is
experienced by cattle tramping in the
water ditch.
