. PORTLAND, Aug. 24.-The coroner's
jury today completed the inquest over
the RENAME of Lieutenant G. 4. Nelson
o. N. e., whose death resulted from a
wound received in the sham battle last
Saturday. The verdict is as follows
I'VE find that the sham battle was or.
dered by General II. B. Compson, com.
mander Of the brigade. who issued the
order for the battle in the face of pro.
tests made to him by most of the com
missioned officers under his command,
who believed and stated to General
Compson that it was, in their opinion,
unwise and dangerous to hold it. We
find that the wound was the result oil
criminal carlessness on the part of TIE
man who fired the shot. We failed to
establish the identity of the man directly
responsible for firing the fatal shot,"

STRUCK TT.
Mat Breeder Opens a Thirty Inch
Vein of Good Gold Ore at
Monument Rock.

After five years of lonely work with
pick, shovel and blast, Mat Breeder has
at last struck pay streak Of gold in his
Monument Rock mine location that
promises valuable results, not only for
its owner, but for Santa Fe.
Five years ago Mr.. Breeder started
work on tunnel in the Santa Fe noun
tains, near Monument Rock, nine miles
up the Santa Fe canon, confident that
there must be gold lead of value in that
locality. He ran IN on this tunnel sew
eral hundred feet, then sunk shaft and
drifted hither and thither, always finding
gold bearing quartz, but never being
able to strike the real lead.
This spring he took a fresh tack and
started new tunnel west of the old one
After running in at this point for about
fifty feet he wss rewarded by striking
solid quartz that showed up better than
ever, and selected specimens were sent to
7. ]. Mclaughlin, of the Santa Fe copper
works at San Pedro, for assay. Tho re-
turn certificate shows the value of the ore
to be 1874 per ton. The vein is about
thirty inches wide at present, and the
development of the property is now 60
ing forward with more vigor than ever
with the assurance that beyond is large
body of free gold ore.
This is the first gold discovery of any
Importance that has ever been made in
the Santa Fe range and it bids fair to
nttroct in tho futura much attention to
this wholly unprospected region.
