This is the only point on which the Southern Pacific desired information, previous to beginning active work. The Black Canyon route was Origi- nally surveyed nearly two years ago, and since then agents of the road have collected additional data con- corning the enterprise, so that now nothing remains to be done but build the road, and it has been given out by those on the inside that within two months the work will be begun.

Our Western Boundary.

The difficulty concerning the
boundary line of Nevada is attrib-
utable to the fact that the intersec-
ton of tht 120th meridian and the
Both parallel, which is the base of
triangulation, happens to be in the
middle of Lake Tahoe. No cores
ponding shore point has ever been
fixed and triangulation has been
something like guesswork in conse-
quence.
Professor Davidson hopes to sup
ply this deficiency, and his work in
that vicinity this year has been di-
rected toward that purpose. A
number of observations have been
made, but no computations can be
expected until much more work has
been done.

The Grand Jury,

The Grand Jury was in session
last Monday.
A true bill was found against E.
A. Herting for attempting to rob
one A. Postowalski on the public
highway between Dayton and Sill
yer City on the 14th day of August,
1898.
The charge against Peter Kres-
tella for breaking into the store of
E. A. Dyer, at Greenfield, was ig-
nored.
The jury censured the Board of
County Commissioners and the
County Auditor, so it is reported,
and handed in the report to the
Clerk with instructions to present
it to the Judge, being unaware that
it was necessary for the Judge to re-
ceive the report in the presence of
the jury.
Whatever else the jury did, if
anything, cannot be learned, as the
report cannot be obtained for pub
location.

The Mason valley Tragedy.

Word reached here last Tuesday
morning that DIR. Mason, of Green

mitted suicide by drowning himself
in ditch. A w. Brann, the Dr's.
step-son, left here Immediately for
the valley.
Mr.. Mason first fired his house,
then fired the hay stacks and delib-
erately placed his head in small
ditch and drowned himself in ten
inches of water.

Mr.. Mason came to Nevada some
thirty years ago. He was mem
berof the Constitutional Convention
of this State, and in 1868 represent
ed Esmeralda county in the Senate,
He was very bright man in early
days. In 1871 he married Mrs.
Brann and in 1872 removed to
Rocklin, Me-, where he resided for
ten years, when he came back to
Mason Valley to reside. In 1871
Mr.. Mason received a severe stroke
of paralysis, and had been partially
helpless since that time. Last Win
ter Mrs. Mason died, leaving the old
gentleman alone. The accusations
made against his step-sons shows
clearly that the old gentleman was
insane when he committed the rash
acts, for he had always been friend
ly with them and had before his
death considered them his best
friends, which they really were.
There never had been any cause
for him to consider the boys his
enemies. Il
The funeral of deceased took
place Wednesday, the remains be-
ing inferred in the Greenfield Gem
etery beside those of his wife. The
remains were neatly incased in a
rosewood casket provided by his
step-sons, and many friends follow
ed the BODY to the grave.
