In Salt Lake the other day, a muir
derer was acquitted, and Judge Judd
said:
Gentlemen OF the Jury-I want to
say to you in reference to the verdict
you have rendered, that you have
doubtless followed your oath according
to your own consciences, and you have
doubtless done it honestly. But il
this is not a case of murder, speaking
from a practice of over % years then |

Justice. / am now OF the opinion that
Brother Young was exactly right
when he said in his argument to the
jury that the law and courts of justice
in this country we're nc protection to
anybody. You may now be dis
charged.
After receiving this scorching, the
jurors quickly passed out Of the room.

A REVIVED PROSPECT.
a Rich Vein OF Ore In the mug Out

While the future Of Eureka is held
IN suspense it is interesting to hear
anything Of an encouraging nature re-
garding the mines. We learn from a
person who visited the Dug Out mine
a few days ago that John Steel and
James Mckinney have struck a yery
rlch vein of ore in a winze sunk from a
DRIFT, of westerly from the upper tun-
mel on this property. This tunnel was
driven to tap the lowest chamber in
the mine at a point where the ore was
formerly lost. The mine was dis
covered about ten years ago, and
about $4,000 worth Of rich ore was
taken out in a very short period by
the owners. The proceeds from the
sale oil the ore were soon gobbled up in
stock ventures and driving long tun-
nels. All traces Of the ore were lost,
and no new discovery worthy OF
mention has been made in the mine
until lately. The vein that Mckinney
and Steel are working on is Of very
rich yellow chloride and black metal,
much OF which will assay up into the
hundreds Of dollars. 1t appears to be
striking Immediately under the lowest
chamber, and promises a veritable
harvest OF wealth. The owners OF the
Dug Out have secured a number of
taking in all Of the
the adjoining ground, and Patrick
OKeefe one Of the owners, thinks
that it is going to turn out as big and
valuable a property IS either the Eu-
reka Con. or Richmond. He has
driven two tunnels, calculated TO tap
the mine at great depth. Large, open
fssures occur in them, and in that
at the foot Of the mountain he
has passed through two veins Of low
grade ore, one of which is Of no small
proportions. This tunnel is not one
Tor a poor man to have driven, but
would make a valuable opening for the
development of the mine by a COM
.any. The ground in it, unlike that
n which the rich ore has been found,
soft and easily worked, and will
some day become a very valuable
OF the property. Mr.. O'Keefe
at work in the middle tunnel and
has good prospects for striking ore
there.

Closing.

The Virginia Enterprise learns that
the north-end mines. controlled by
John W. Mackay, will stop operations
on Sundays, commencing with the
first in June. The vote which was
taken a few weeks ago resulted in the
movement being carried by 3S majority
taking every miner working north OF
the Savage. John w. Mackay is in
favor OF Sunday closing. General r.
P. Heating also favors it, and A. O.
Hamilton is Indifferent. This being
the situation, We believe that every
mine on the Comstock from the Utah
to the Imperial will stop work on
Sundays within a very few months
from the present time.

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
A Human skeleton Pound Under
the Eureka Con. Stag Dump.


Last Saturday evening, while some
men were running a tunnel under the
Eureka Con. Stag dump, they dis
covered the SHELTON remains of a man
who had been buried about three feet
deep in the sand or cement. A pick
went crashing through the skull, de-
stroying it. The bones OF the arms
and legs, as well as the skull, show
that the former tenant Of the remains
was a man of large stature. The ex-
cavation showed that a regular grave
had been dug, and after the body had
been deposited, it was covered with
black loan, entirely different from the
sand in which the grave was dug.
The body had evidently been buried
without a coffin. Convenient to the
bones was a piece Of a seven-eighths OF
an inch steel drill, broken at n end.
Last Tuesday, after several pieces of
bone had been taken away by the
boys, to be shown as relics, the bal
ance were collected together, put in a
box and buried under the dump. The
announcement OF the discovery was
taken as a joke, but when the fact
was realized it created quite a n
ton. The questions asked: Are the
remains those of an Indian, a pioneer
prospector who was buried there by a
comrade, previous TO the existence of
the camp; or did some midnight as
sassain fell his victim with the steel
drill and bury him on the spot? No
one, perhaps, will yer know. 1t has
been suggested that the remains are
those of Jackson, who SO mysteriously
disappeared from here some eight or
nine years ago and has never since
been heard Of; but this is impossible,
as the Stag must have lain several feet
deep over the grave at that time.

Completely Exonerated.

The Elko Independent says a pri-
vate dispatch from Tuscarora an
nounces that the investigation COM
pletely exonerated Clarence Buck
from all completely in the giant pow.
der explosion, and he was discharged
from custody. From what We could
learn Of the circumstances OF his ar
rest, this is just what we expected;
and now. how does Detective Sher-
mans work appear 10 a casual OBJ
server? We trust that the matter will
not be suffered to rest until the facts
are all brought to light. There is a
mystry to be solved.
Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1889-05-25

At the present time, Tuscarora is q
poor place to come to, especially for
those in search of employment, as the
labor market is overstocked. Fifty or
more men we're drafted from the
Navajo mine a few days since. making
upwards of one hundred since the
first of the month. The mill, having
completed crushing ore from the mine
will run a few days longer upon Gus
tom ore, when it will close for an in
definite period. The outlook is not so
bright as We would wish to see.-

A Gieger Grade Episode.

A youthful society blood recently in
vited a muscular belle to promenade
on the Geiger grade after the gloom Of
night had settled on the Comstock.
The belle, who though in her teens, is
a match, physically, for Peter Jackson,
the Australian heavyweight in a
rough-and-tumble, accepted the invi-
tation.
When the couple had reached the
Phil Sheridan mine waste dump the
escort attempted to take liberties with
the young lady ~whereupon she seized
him by the seat of his trousers and
coat collar and pitched him headlong
down the steep side of the dump and
he landed at the bottom so feet below.

parel resembled that of a tramp after

snver Men In "a Rage.

A Washington special says: The
silver men of the Republican party are
enraged at the information which
comes to them in an unofficial way,
that the Treasury Department refuses
to accept their advice as to the pur-
chase of silver bullion. The decision
against such a course has been
reached, and will soon be officially
announced. No more than the mimi
mum amount of bullion will be pur-
chased, at least not before Congress
meets. Ever since the 4th of March
the prominent silver men of the West,
led by Senator Stewart of Nevada,
have been endeavoring to force the
purchase Of bullion and the adoption
oil a radical silver policy.

No grain does SO well in Nevada as
rye. II sown in the Fall it will ripen
in the Summer in the dryest of soil
without irrigation and give a fair crop
with neither care o water. Rye
makes excellent hay and being a sure
crop, it is a wonder that Nevada farmers
do not plant more Of it. 1t is worth
$40 a ton and a clean profit OF $25 an
acre can easily be made on it. After
being cut for the harvest, a little ir-
rigation will produce a second crop, in
all respects equal to the first.-Vir-
