KILLING OF JENKs.-As near as we
can learn, Charley jerks was killed in
the following manner: jerks was trailed
TO his place in the mountains by several
whites and Indians. After few ex.
change shots with jerks, in which the
pursuing party opened the firing on
him, the latter made them all hunt
their holes, and aid was sent for. Upon
the arrival of reinforcements, making
ing sixteen persons, including whites and
Indians, the rocks which concealed jerks
were surrounded, and fire opened on him
from all directions. Being attacked on
all sides, from hidden foes, jerks started
10 run. when he was hit in the breast by
hall, and fell dead Immediately When
the parties went and examined the BODY
of the stained man, it was found that his
gun was empty and a cartridge was not
70 be found about the person of the dead.
jerks used to get his food by going to
the houses of the settlers after dark.
The settlers would supply him with food,
but there never was an attempt made to
CAPTURE the insane man, a feat that could
have been very easily accomplished.
jerks labored under the Authorization
that members of the Masonic Order was
after and trying to kill him. He said
that he made efforts to escape from Pah-
ranagat Valley on several occasions, but
was prevented doing so by the Masons
heading him off.
WE have arrived at the conclusion
that there is but one really true place
on the globe, and that is Phoebe. The
large number of people who leave here of
late after wandering around for month
or so, finally retrace their steps back to
the old place Dick Gordon, who left
here month ago to never return, came
crawling back to Phoebe on Monday
afternoon, after visiting the inter-moun-
tain country and taking trip to San
Francisco. Dick says Phoebe is larger
city than San Francisco, that there are
more ships lying at our wharves, and
Phoebe is surrounded by larger body of
water than San Francisco is. There is
something very attractive about the
young ladies Of Phoebe.
KINGFIsHER. AT every blow of the
pick this mine, in Jackrabbt District,
improves. All of the dead work having
been done. the miners are now busily
engaged in sinking the shaft. In the
ledge three-foot vein of dark-red ore
was enc )untered the first of the week,
and looks like free milling ore. This ore
assays S96.25 in silver. The King6sher
to-day presents one of the finest show
ings, if not superior to any, of the pros.
poets in Southern Nevada. The ground
is exceedingly favorable for the opening
of big mine at any moment.
THE WOUNDED wounded men
under the care Of DR.. Mathews are get.
ting along nicely. De Kay, who was
shot in the foot accidentally, is greatly
improving. His foot was split wide open
and presented most horrible sight. He
had waited nine days before coming to
town and being attended to. Jensen,
the man cut in the arm, while hunting a
row in Bullionville, is much better and
will soon be all right. When man
wants to get carved up, he should always
be accommodated.
MEADOW VALLEY.-The two men EN-.
ployed working on the tunnel level have
sunk on the ledge some ten feet and ex-
tracted ore along the ledge for distance
of twenty feet. The ore continues i'm
proving in richness and that being ex-
tractcd at present will, it is estimated,
pulp SIS per ton. 1t is quite likely that
at no distant day the company will have
good force of men working on the old
ledge that was abandoned in early days
owing to the lowness of the grade of ore.
AT the Day for the past week there
has not been any discovery of unusual
importance made in the mine. The work
of developing the ore bodies in the lower
workings of the mine is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as circumstances will
permit. The ore chambers look very
favorable as far as penetrated and create
great hopes in the minds of all who have
seen them.
A LETTER was received during the
week from John Roeder, who was at
Providence Mountain, California. He
states that his little boy, Johnny, has
been very sick with the fever and was
delirious for four days and nights
When he wrote the little fellow was al
right and was out and around.
Salts WHAT'S THE MATTER. -Th.
mills have all run out of salt, and Their,
is none to be had in this vicinity at pres
ent. The mill at the lower end of towr
has been closed down for want of tn,
article. There is a wagon train loadet
with salt on the road, which is due, ant
liable to arrive at any moment.
THE average yield per day of tn,
mill working tailings is about $40, mucl
better than was expected. There wer
two bars cast at the mill on Sunday, an,
another 90-pound bar yesterday. Wher
are those wise cusses who were predict
inv that this milling ventura wonld prov
