The reports are surprising. The region

than when Washington's army left it in

work will be required to fit it for a state

Geld R,oeded sau rider.

Two travellers reached Sonora
last Wednesday and reported the
body of murdered man on the
Mono road, near the summit, seven
ty-fve miles above that town. Dep
uty Sheriff Pierce, accompanied by
one of the travellers, at once pro-
ceeded to the place of the murder,
but, owing to the distance, it will
take four days to make the trip and
return. The assassin shot his VIC
tim, who was riding along the
road in cart drawn by one horse,
in the back of the head, killing him
instantly, and the evidence shows
that he then dragged the body across
the road and threw it into c!ump
of bushes, taking the horse and cart
and making his way over the mount
tains. The murdered man is de-
scribed of light complexion, with a
sandy mustache, and about so years
of age. He had on a suit of dark
clothes, wore heavy gloves, and
boots with the bottoms studded with
hob-nails. Who the man is has
not been established.

JNhnf0Wn Miners.

The King Bros, who have been
mining in the creek near Johntown,
in Gold Canyon, have suspended
operation in that place and from
now on are COINS to work in a tun-
mel they have been running below
the old Louis Hayes dam in the
canyon. AS far as this tunnel has
been run, the dirt taken out goes
about 50 cents to the wheelbarrow
load, which is pretty good pros
pect. The gold is very heavy and
quite coarse, none of it being small
er than pinheads. There is a great
stretch of ground lying between the
canyon and the Carson river that
could no doubt be worked and made
to pay handsomely if it could be
hydrauliced as they work ground in
California. The only difficulty and
expense about operating in this way
is that of getting water onto the
ground. 1t will be done some day,

shall We Furnish an Exhibit

The following from the Midwinter
Department of the Nevada Agri-
cultural Society has been received
with a request to publish. AS a
number of the counties are taking
steps to get up an exhibit, we see
no reason why Lyon should not go
to little trouble to show what can
be produced within her boundaries.
She can set out an exhibit second
to none in the State if she tries.
RENO, Oct. "a, 1898.
To the Citizens of Lyon County:
The State Board of Agriculture
has decided that the State of Neva-
da must make an exhibit at the
California Midwinter International
Exposition, and have appointed
the undersigned managers of the
proposed exhibit. In order to make
the State of Nevada exhibit a sue
cess the managers must have the
cooperation and support of the cit
liens of Lyon county. Therefore
this invitation is extended to every
farmer, miner, mechanic, manufac-
turer, mining corporation and indi-
vidual to make an exhibit at the
coming Midwinter Fair. The man.
ayers from now on will work un-
ceasingly for the success of the ex-
hibit, and are determined to make
it an exhibit that will rebound to
the benefit of the whole State, and
will be ready at all times to give
any information desired by the
public. Respectfully,
P. H. MuLcAHY,
C. H. SToDDARD,
Managers Nevada Exhibit at Cali

Nounol,r Record Stands.

Sounols record of 2;08a still
stands as the best ever made by a
trotter pulling an old-fashioned
sulky. 1t is worthy of note that
Directum and Alix both attempted
to lower Maud SIS record of 2;083
this season, hitched to the old-time
craft, but they signally failed, and
it is doubtful if there is in America
to-day a trotter capable of accom-
plishing the feat.
Alix is a candidate for the trot-
ting crown, and Mr.. Jones, her
owner, claims she can reduce Nancy
Hanks mark of 2:04. A few days
ago he had the mare hitched to an
old-time sulky and sent against
2:084 on the track at Racine, Wis.
The fast mare was given four trials,
but failed utterly, the best she could
do being to make the circuit Of the
track in 2:154.
By the records, taking the differ
ent conditions into consideration,
it begins to look very much as il
the miles of Maud S. and Sounol
are still the most creditable trotting
performances. The best proof OF
the assertion is to be found in the
inability of any trotter to beat the
marks they made under like con.
ditions.

Gravel 10 tninG.

Fisher, Legg, Holland and Schro.
der are still working on their grav-
ell claim at the mouth of Gold
Canyon. They have shaft down
81 feet and drift in 20 feet. The
gravel is not rich, except in spots,
yielding about 81 day to the man.
There is said to be rich streak of
gravel about three feet deep run
ming across somewhere near where
the men are working, and thence
down to the river. This is what
the miners are looking for.

The Difference.

If a doctor makes a mistake he
buries it; if merchant makes a
mistake he never tells it; if law
yer makes mistake he crawls out
of it; but if an editor makes a mis-
take he puts it on large sheet Of
paper for the world to look at, and
in every community there are
cranks who think they are models
of wisdom because they discover
them, and for weeks their jaws are
wagging about their greatness and
astute wisdom.

Nevada Southern Railroad.

The promoters of the Nevada
Southern Railway Company for
some time past have been writing
to all parts of the county for infor-
nation as to our business resources,
ETC., and the probabilities Of BUSH
ness openings in case their road
should be extended northword from
Good Springs. Ferguson district
is attracting much attention from
them. The company is evidently
in earnest in the work and as it is
most important matter for US in
this section we ought to put our
selves Enthusiastically ON record con-
cerningit This is why a number
of business men about town are ar
ranging for a public meeting. A
number of letters have gone for
ward to the company assuring it of
our sympathies in the matter, but
the better way to close up the work
is to meet publicly and pass reso-
lutions promising support in every
possible manner. This road is liza
BILE to be in operation long before
work is resumed on the U. P. grade,
and if the latter should finally
build, then two roads are better
than one.-Pioche Record.

Perhaps some of our readers
would like to know in what respect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
better than any other We will
tell you. When this remedy is
taken as soon as a cold has been
contracted, and before it has become
settled in the system, it will coun-
teract the effects of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not ef'
iectually cure the cold in two days
time, and it is the only remedy that
will do this. 1t acts in perfect har-
mony with nature, and aids nature
in relieving the lungs, opening the
secrctions, liquefying the mucous
and causing its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs and restoring
the system to a strong and healthy
condition. No other remedy in the
market possesses these remarkable
properties. No other will cure a
cold so quickly or leave theSystem
in as sound a condition. For sale

A SENSATION EXPLODED.
The Bones Found in the silver City
shaft Not Those OF q Woman.


shaft Not Those OF Woman.
Some weeks ago considerable ex-
citement was created by the finding
of a skeleton of a person and a
horse in an old shaft near Silver
City. 1t was at first supposed that
the bones of the human being were
those of woman, and this news
went all over the country. All old
settlers tried to think of the mys.
terious disappearance of some
woman years ago, for it was years
ago that the body must have gotten
into the shaft. Having received
several letters from parties who had
lost female relatives in early days
in this State a TIMES reporter has
been investigating the matter, to as
certain, if possible, who the bones
belong to. We have the skull, ribs,
some Of the arm and leg bones,
shoulder blades, vertebra, etc. etc,
in our office, and have had the skull
examined by physicians and scien-
tifc men, and the opinion Of all is
that the bones are those of an In.
dian. The shape of the skull and the
teeth, some of which are yet in the
Jaws, indicate this, and other bones
Of the body show conclusively that
the bones are not those of woman.
After coming to the conclusion that
the bones were those of Piute.
"Jim Davis" an old Piute who has
lived in Dayton for many years was
interviewed on the subject, and he
thinks the skull is that of Piute.
At first, when it was shown to him
he did not like to say much obout
it, but wanted to know if we were
going to keep it. He said it would
bring bad luck, rizen dreams, etc.
He finally said that young Indian
had, years ago been killed near Sill
yer City and was buried in a big
hole with his horse. On the Shout
der blades of the skeleton can still
be seen, sticking to the bones, fibers
of some kind of cloth. These fibers
are coarse, and a microscope shows
them to be fibers of a wooden blank
ct. With the bones that were tax
en- out Of the shaft were also some
old pieces of cloth, and this cloth
is, without doubt, the remnants of
an old dress coat, silk lined, and
probably given to the Piute, or stol-
en- by him. Those who have been
writing to US in regard to lost fe-
male relatives, not heard from for
years, can rest assured their bones
are not those of the person recent.
ly found in the shaft near Silver
City, because they are not those of
a woman.
