W F. LEON.
Particulars Of His Suicide at the
Muddy Valley Last Week

We learn the following particulars con.
corning the suicide at Moapa. this coun.
ty, on the 10Th inst, of w. +. Leon,
whose body was reported by us last week
as being found at or near that place.
Leon was, and had for some months
previously. been residing at the old
Indian Reservation, merely putting in
time.
On Sunday morning, the 10Th of Oeto.
her, he wrote two letters and mailed
them, then appears to have arranged his
effects somewhat, and at about oclock,
in the afternoon, after some ordinary con
versation with those present, went off
up the stream carrying rope in one of
his hands. He failed to return at supper
time, Of which however little was
thought. He did not appear at break
fast on Monday morning, and a party
entering his room then, found lying on
the table piece of wrapping paper,
upon which, in Icons hand writing was
written, lyon will find my body in the
river above the bridge" A search party
was Immediately formed, and above the
bridge and some 600 yards from the Res
ervation, they found Icons body. with
bullet hole in the left temple, lying
partly in and partly out of the water.
Before firing the fatal shot, Leon had
fastened the rope he carried to large
cottonwood log, lying close to the river
bank, and had tied the ends firmly to
each of his ankles in such manner that
he could stand directly on the edge of
the bank. When found, the upper
half of the body was submerged, the rope
preventing the body from entirely fall.
ing in and being washed away.
He seems to have resorted to this
scheme to insure death by drowning, if
from any cause, the shot should not prove
Immediately fatal. He had with him $50
in coin and currency.
w. F. Leon was well preserved man
of more than GO years of age, and was an
old Nevadan. He was a mining man
and on several occasions in the COS made
sales OF mining properties in London.
For some years past however, fortune
has been against him, and he was in the
southern part Of the County locating
mines and securing other property in the
interest Of the Nevada and California
Trading and Transportation Co. lie
was kept in funds, bu. had made no
effort for almost year to do anything
whatever, and call to return and show
the result of his labofs appears to have
been the main reason which caused him
to end his existence.
One of tie letters which lie wrote on
Sunday morning contained q Bill Of Sale
to Sheriff E. d. Turner, Of all his effects,
with statement that his debts amounted
to about S. and that the amount obtained
on his belongings should be RENTED to
Mrs. Mary Leon at Belmont, Nevada.

MAIL MATTERS.
Interesting Items From the Post
tfIire Department.

The following condensed from cir.
cular received from the Dead Letter
Office of the Postoflice Department at
Washington is interesting. suggestive
and instructive to everybody:
Over six million pieces of mail matter
are sent annually to the Dead Letter o.
flee by reason of incorrect, illegible, or
deficient address, insufficient postage,
insecure inclosing, whereby matter
mailed becomes separated from the en-
velope or wrapper, or the failure to be
called for or delivered to the person ad.
dressed. This is daily average of over
twenty thousand pieces.
Matter sent to the Dead Letter Office,
which cannot be delivered to the person
addressed, is required to be opened in
its treatment for the purpose Of
return to the sender, and if the name
and address of the sender be not shown
or cannot be ascertained from the con.
tents, and it contains no valuable inclos.
ure, it must be destroyed.
Letters which contain no Enclosure Of
obvious value are not recorded.
Packages and parcels are recorded,
and where they do not disclose the name
and address of the owner are fled; if not
called for or claimed within two years
they are disposed Of at public auction
and the proceeds covered into the United
States Treasury.
OF the unclaimed and undelivered mail
matter received at the Dead Letter
Office during the past fiscal year, -four
hundred and fifty one thousand were
letters misdirected, or only partially ad.
dressed that is, not addressed to post.
office, or, postoffice without the State
being given, or, addressed to postoffice
not in the State named, etc., etc.
Eighty thousand were parcels of mer-
chandise, books, clothing, needle.work,
jewelry, ETC., many Of which were mis-.
directed, while others were without
wrapper, having been insecurely in.
closed, and others from which the
address had become separated and lost.
Mail matter should be plainly and
correctly addressed. the name of the
postoffice to which it is to be sent should
be clearly and distinctly stated, and to
avoid confusion from the similarity Of
abbreviations, as frequently used, the
name of the State should also be given
in full.
The name and address of the sender,
either printed or written, should be
placed upon the upper left hand corner of
the envelope or wrapper of all matter
mailed. This will secure its immediate
return to the sender from the mailing
Office for correction if improperly ad.
dressed, insufiiciently paid or otherwise
defective.
All valuable matter to be sent by mail
should be registered. 1t will thus re.
ceive such protection as it is not always
possible to give to matter sent in the or.
binary mails. Money should be sent by
money order Or registered letter.
A large proportion of the packages
sent to the Dead Letter Office are ad-
dressed to foreign countries.
In addition to being sealed or closed
against inspection and deficient in pos.
tage, many of them contain articles that
are unavailable through the post because
of custom regulations and conditions of
the countries to which they are adj.
dressed, or exceed the limit of size and
weight

Day and OnOndagO.

Fifteen teams are steadily hauling ore
from the Day and Onondago mines.
About 20 tens from the Day and tons
from the Onondago are shipped daily.
The Onondago is said to be looking much
better now than when the present COM
pany purchased it in June last. T. Will
Jams foreman at the Day, says the mine
is opened up in such shape that l25 tons
of ore could be extracted daily from the
works above the tunnel level if necessary
without difficulty.

What A. r. Gregerson says.

While working on the southern extern.
sion of the U. P. Railway system near
Clover Valley, in this (Lincoln) County
about the lst. Of this month I observed
very large hard swelling on the leg of one
of my horses. 1t was apparently caused
by kick from another animal. Five or
six applications Of Trib in the course Of
two days completely cured the swelling,
and the horse is as '.good as new" The
remainder Of the so cent bottle was used
successfully by a number Of railroad
workers to cure sore arms, sprained mus.
Giles, etc, until it did fifty dollars worth
of good. For this reason / allow the
use of my name to further spread the
knowledge Of this good liniment. My
permanent residence is at Silver Reef,
Utah. ANDREW f. GRkGERsEN

Zero Resu m ed.

Development work on the Zero, one Of
the p G. Co.'S claims lying back Of the
Raymond was resumed during the week
This is the claim ON which work was
stopped three weeks ago on orders from
head quarters. At the time Of clio ing
down large body of low grade base ore
had been struck and it is to determine the
extent Of this body that work is resumed.
AT present the whole drift is in ore, the
character Of which is similar to that in
the Black Ledge Of the Raymond mine
adjoining and 1900 feet from the surface.
The ore taken from the Zero furnishes q
good fux for the furnace but large
quantity of it is out on the surface now
and the present work on the mine will be
mainly to develop it further, and about
the same number Of men will be employed
in it rs before.
