SITUATION VERY CRAVE.
Governor Buchanan Declines
to Accede to the
Demands of the Miners.
The Executive Waiting on
Sheriff Rutherford.

KNOXVILLE, July %. The Governor
will not accept the proposition of the
miners, for he has no authority to do SO.
He could not assume in advance that the
lease system would be abolished by the
Legislature nor that the cCnvicts should
remain there but sixty days. More tnan
this, the best legal talent in the city gives
the hasty opinion that the Legislature
has no power to rescind the contract
made.
KNOXVILLE, July "a, 11:30 a. MT is
authoritative that the Governor will call
an extra session of the Legislature. He
has assured the miners committee of this
fact, but also assured them that it was
not done at their instance, although he
felt it proper to incorporate a considers
ton of the lease system in the call. He
will not fix date for the call until his re-
turn to Nashville.
The number of miners in the Coal Creek
vicinity has been greatly exaggerated in
the dispatches and seems to have been
overestimated by the military officers who
were there. During the mass meeting
yesterday all the mines were closed down
in order that all the miners might attend
the meeting, yet there were only about
500 present. In view of the deep interest
felt by them in the present trouble, it is
probable most of them were on hand. So
there is no ground for the wild rumors
that the mountains are thick with several
thousand armed men.
1t is more than probable that the in
terval of negotiations has enabled the
miners to better equip themselves, and
also to secure allies from other mines,
but it is probable that not more than !, 600
men at the outside could be mustered in
battle against the soldiers. The miners
would have great advantage in their
natural fertilization, but even with this
the soldiers should win the battle without
great loss.
AUDIENCE WITH THE GOVERNOR.
KNOXVILLE, July "a, 2:10 p. m.-Gen.
Carnes has had an audience with the
Governor. Unless the Sheriff is heard
from the soldiers will probably 60 as
guards, although in uniform and rank, to
| Coal Creek, and take with them the
elected convicts now held here.
THE MINERS PROPOSITION
The resolutions adopted by the miners
at their meeting at Coal Creek to be SUBJ
mitted to the Governor were as follows:
Flrst-Let status quo be restored, prop
erty guarded and the convicts protected
on their return to the mines.
Second-That the militia be ordered
home from Knoxville.
Third-That an armistice be declared
for sixty days.
Fourth-The Governor to call at once
the General Assembly in extra session
and recommend the repeal of the convict
lease system.
Fifth-On the repeal of the lease sys-
tenn the convicts at Coal Creek, Briceville
and Oliver Springs to be removed.

A dam il being quilt across the
BFuneau river, in the northern part
Of Owyhes county, Idaho, for the
purpose Of raising the water of that
stream to . height that will admit
of it, being taken out by means of
canals and distributed over the sur
rounding country for irrigation pur-
poses. The dam will pc thirty-four
isst high and one hundred and sew
snty-6ve feet long. The foundation
will b. built in the most substantial
manner, and bedded in cement.
Eighteen feet from the top of the
dam will be placed two thirty-six
inch iron pipes, SO that in case of
there being = sudden rise in the
river, the waste water can be dis
charged through them. Iron gates
viii b placed on the ends of the
pipes that. can be. easily raised or
lowered ct pleasure.
How long before we shall hear of
such work being done in Nevada?

The Hercules Mining Company
will inaugurate extensive opera

Grass Valley Tdings, next Spring.
Free milling will not be attempted
but an effort will be made to get to
the gold in the sulphurets by con-

the new process will surely be sue
cessful, in which event there will
be another rush to that district. 1t
is reported that an English syndi-
cate will also begin operations there
in the Spring.

Ayaluabis Discovery.

An effort is being made at West

for the manufacture of pottery ware
of different kinds. A large deposit
of clay has been discovered near
the town, and several test of sam
Piles have proved it to be of excel
lent quality. Market could be found
for the output Of such an establish
ment throughout Eastern Oregon
and Washington, and Weston would
derive a great deal of benefit from it.

AHAPPY NEW YEAR.

With this issue the TIMES enters
upon its eighteenth year. To all
its readers and patrons and to the
citizens of Lyon county generally,
the TINES extends a New Year
greeting, and wishes everybody
good luck and prosperity. For the
past eight years it has been our en-
deavor to truthfully set forth that
which would be of the best interest
to Lyon county. The endeavors
have been appreciated to some ex-
tent, and We shall continue to use
what influence the sheet may have
to further promote the agricultural
~ well 40 the mining industry Of
the county. Lyon county starts in
the new year under favorable cir
cumstaces. In the mining sections
there seems to be every reason to
believe that prosperity will reign
this year, while the agricultural
portion Of the. county is as prosper
Gus, If not more SO, than in any
other county in the State. The re-
sources Of the county in this depart
ment are great; there probably being
no more favored spot on earth for
the production Of all kinds of cereals
and tuberous plants. At no far
distant day it may be expected that
farmers will be raising large crops
Of what they can easily find a mar
ket for-sugar beets-and that a
plant Of that kind will be erected
somewhere in our county. This
will add . great industry to those
already in operation. The mining
camp Of Silver City will, without
doubt, in the Spring show some very
fine mining properties, while there
are rumors Of much work being
done soon in the now almost aban-
doned camp Of Como. The Carson
river Placer Mining and Dredging
Co., which is now again at work on
another tack, will employ number
al poen for some months, and may
eventually prove to be one Of the
greatest mining propositions on the
Coast. The LYON County TINES
may become \ daily. However
that may be, we see no need for
anyone to have the blues about
dullness Of times, and predict that
during the year the county will
keep up : healthy growth. Again,
We wish everybody Happy New
Year and may prosperity attend you
Al throughout 1891 and thereafter.

a Mysterious flair

SANANNAII, Ga, Jan. 1G.--A deep
mystery surrounds tho disappearance
of benjamin Davis. a well-knowu
young man OF this city, who is in the
employ Of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway. Some time ago he
became engaged to his cousin, Miss
Davis, Of ltidgelaud, S. g. The marriage
was set for to-day. Ten days ago
Davis left savannah for Ridgeland,
carrying with him the bridal and travel
ing dresses Of Miss. Davis, which had
been made here. Three days after he
left, his friends here were astonished at
receiving information that he had not
reached Rldgeland and that the young
lady was becoming very much alarmed.
Officer Davis, of this city, at once start
ed for lSldgeland, stopping at different
points along the road and making care
ful inquiries. No one, however, had
seen or heard anything of Davis.
When he arrived at Ridgeland 4 care
ful search was instituted by Il large
party. The result of this was received
here IN the following telegram
I'VE found Ben'S hat, Satchel and
dayhOok at Tillman this morning. His
has had bullet hole in it, and we fear
he has come to harm"
Lated, another telegram was receiv-
cd starting that the searching party
had discovered something further
Ills reatlves here are almost distracted
ana the girl who expected to be his
bride to-day is said to bc in Il mental
state bordering on frenzy.

a Terrible Accident,

PARIS. Jan. 13..~-A terrible accident
10y which nine persons lost their lives,
occurred here to- day. The Seine, with
the exception Of the centre Of the river,
has been frozen over for some time
past. Yesterday the whole river was
covered with ice, the middle OF the
stream however being hidden by what
the police judged to be dangerously
thin ice. Consequently tho authorities
forbade the people to attempt to cross
the river and the police were instruct
ed to enforce the order.
In spite Of this q number Of venture
some men and boys, utterly Disregard
ing the warning Cry of the police and
OF the crowd who were watching thom,
attempted to cross the Seine on the ice,
AS they neared the middle of the stream
dull cracking reports were heard cauS-
ing number of the fOolhardy people
to rush back to the side of the river
where the ice was much thicker.
Others, to show how daring they were,
jumped on. Immediately. with long
series Of rumbling cracks, the ice gave
way and precipitated the crowd Of pro-
pie into the freezing water.
Cries of horror and alarm arose on
tho banks and the police and the life
savers rushed to the scene of the diSaS-
ter and did their utmost TO save life.
In spite Of their efforts, and though u
number Of people were drawn from jn(.
river, nine persons are known t. have
been drowned

Lively Times in Colorado,

DENVER. COL., Jan. 13.--The row
which was started in the lower House
of the General Assembly Friday night
between the faction of the Republicans
known as "Che gang" and the combina-
ton formed by the gang smashers" to
see who should have control Of the
House, was renewed again at last
nights session. Fears were enter
talncd of serious trouble, and before tn e
House was called to order some half
dozen sergeants-at-arms were sworn i n
by the gang who have the speaker on
their side. These were stationed all
over the House to promptly suppress
any demonstrations that might be made,
but it is reported on good authority that
the "comblne' had Il number of men
in the lobby ready to take Il hand, had
a personal encounter occurred between
the members, aS was expected, there is
no telling what the result would have
been. After the House was called to
order, Voorhees,, Democrat, got the
floor and charged that bribery had been
attempted. This caused q heated le-
bate, and resulted in the appointment of
Il committee to investigate. After con-
siderable lillbuStering the House adj
Journed until to-day. 1t is expected
that the fight will be renewed with
energy. The strength Of the too fac
tons is the gang" y, the combine"
