A SETTLEMENT REPORTED.
London, July 27.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette, this afternoon says: 1--WE learn
from an authority that is deserving of the
highest respect that the F'ranco-Siamese
difficulty has been settled. France has
agreed to accept the Siamese proposals,
and has abandoned her claims to the ter
ritory lying between the eighteenth and
twenty third parallels of latitude.
Sir Charles Dixie said in an interview
this evening that he believed that the
Marquis of DufIerin and M. Develle had
reached an agreement by which France
would abandon her claims to the upper
Mekong. "Of course" he added, the
surrender will be CLOSED over by some
form of compromise, but ] cannot imag-
inc England's agreeing to anything else. "
CHINA's ATTITUDE.
London, July rs, 2 a. m.-The Pel1in cor
respondent TO the Standard says
whilst China is not likely to attempt to
enforce her Suzerian rights so long as the
scene of conflict shall be limited to the
lower Mekong, l can state positively on
the highest authority, that she is fully
determined to uphold her dominion on the
upper Mekong. If France encroaches
above latitude twenty-one, she will find
China in her path"
London, July 27.-The Standards Paris
correspondent says: II gather that M.
Develle and Lord Dufferin have agreed 10
a compromise on the frontier question.
The newspapers have no inkling of this
and are as aggressive as ever"

Homicide In Genoa.

On the 4th, in Genoa, Adam Dixon
was shot in the back of the neck by
Fred Gray, in Hansen's saloon and
killed instantly, while sitting in a
chair.
1t appears that there had been feel
Ing between the men for some time.
Years ago Dixon had an alteration
with Gray's mother in this city and
beat her over the head with chair,
breaking her nose.
Gray swore vengeance, and few
days ago the men had an alteration,
Dixon attempting to pull him off a
wagon, and saying that he would kill
him on sight.
On Tuesday, while Dixon was sit
ting in Hanson's saloon, when Gray
went up behind and shot him in the
neck. The ball broke his spine and
passed into his lungs.
He dropped forward from his chair
and fell face down on the floor, the
blood flowing out of his mouth.
Several of the by ISLANDERS rushed in,
but Gray covered them with his pistol.
He gave himself up quite readily to
the Sheriff, and is now in Jail.

ex-convict, who has served eight years
in the penitentiary, for the attempted
killing of JAS. Campbell in Genoa,

SusDfcted Fraud.

A private letter from George A. Rice
dated Salt Lake, July 3rd, has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the cattle pur-
chased from stockmen in this vicinity:
"The pinched money affairs compell-
ed the northern buyers to accept the
cattle on time or not take them at all.
The Deseret national bank thinks part
of the money will be paid on the 9th.
ALI the parties except Robert Francis
and Rice Brothers accepted checks in
payment, but they suspicioned fraud,
and today had attachments issued from
the district court of this county for
some 1900 head of cattle remaining at
Milford, and the United States Mar
shall will take charge of them this even
ing. If the other Nevada people get
on attachments there need be no loss
to any of them. Phoebe Lode.

OsceOla Notes.

From the Salt Lake Journal of the
9TH we take the following:
The Osceola gravel mining Co. is
working large force of men in the
mine, and also on their fumes, bitches,
and reservoirs. Next year they will
be able to utilize their water twice by
picking up the water after it has run
through the monitors and running it
into a reservoir and then conveying it
by fume and pipe monitors that will
be put in place this year one mile
below.
Quartz mining in this camp is COM
ing to the front The more develop
ment that is done, the mines improve
and shows more of the yellow metal.
A. J. Millick is working force of
men on the Cumberland and STEAMBOAT
mines.
Mr.. johnson is working the Gold
Quartz mine, owned by the Calumet
company and it showing up fine.
Boon Tilford is working force Of
men on his dry wash mine.
Messrs. Hill & Hudson made quite
an important silver and lead strike a
few days ago, the assays running 115
ounces in silver. They have struck
ore since that will go at least 60 per
cent lead, and I think much higher in
silver than the dry ore. This find is
in lime and close to the quartzite con-
tact, and is one of the best formations
known for silver and lead ores.
All we want in Nevada is the re-
monetization of silver and more rail
roads. If we had a railroad running
through White Pine, Lincoln and Nye
counties, we wonld make outsiders
think Nevada was not dead by long
shot.

Miss Jennie Torreyson left last

unexpected one, but it is not an I'M

Commissioner from Nevada, and as
Mrs. Foley is i'll and the Commission

She is thoroughly competent to fill

able worker. Carson News.

Nevada should Take Action.

WINNEMUccA, July 10. The chair
man of the State Central Committee
of the Silver party Of Nevada issues
the following:
The goldbugs, with Grover Cleve-
land at their head, are making most
determined effort to have the Sherman
law repealed at an extra session of
Congress and a gold standard perman-
emily fixed upon this country. In
timidation and bribery and executed
threats are their weapons. The friends
of silver in nearly all of our sister
States are theoretically organizing for
the conflict. Shall Nevada lag be-
hind? She was foremost of all States
in her loyalty to the silver cause in
the late presidential campaign. 1t is
time she was heard from in the pres
ent crisis. Let every silver club in
the State and every election precinct
meet in convention in their respective
localities and pass resolutions in ear
nest protest against the repeal of the
Sherman law unless free coinage bill
is substituted and forward the same to
our Senators and Representative in
Congress. It has been suggested that
State convention be called, but on
account of the great expense such a
convention would entail upon the dele
gates and because it is better to have
the expression of the people in each
neighborhood in mass meeting, we
most earnestly urge the adoption of the
latter plan, and to secure unanimity
of action we advise such meetings be
held Saturday the 18th inst. 1t is of
highest Importance that Nevada shall
be represented at the meeting of the
American bi-metallic league to be
convened at Chicago the first day of
August and we suggest that the silver
leagues of each county, so far as pos
sible, name delegate to that meet
ing.

THE INDIAN AEISTOCRACY.
Landed Privileges That Have Been
Handed Down for Centuries.
Nsneimo Free Press

Nane!rno Free Press.
As Is well known. the Yale Indians catch.
from rocks on the banks OF the river and from
small rocky islets in the river. many thousand
salmon every summer. The fish dried in
the sun and partly smoked, and then laid away
Tor the winter food supply. All the best sltu-
etec rocks and islets have been the recognized
property OF certain Indian families for centu-
ries, the right TO them descending from father
TO son undisputed much the same as an entailed
estate in the Old Country. 1t appears that
about 40 years ago the owner OF one OF the most
valuable q hing rocks in the river happened to
be very thriftIess and worthless character. and
when his wife fell ILL., was too lazy or
indifferent TO give her the attention
she required. A friend OF the family. so the
tradition goes, waited on the sick woman with
much Kindness, and his attentions made so
strong an impression on the woman that Just
before she died she willed the kind .rssnd the
family fishing rock. The worthless husband
followed his dear departed TO the happy hunt
ing grounds few moons later, and the friend
took possession OF the rock and held it until the
brother OF the former owner returned from
hunting trip. The latter prepared to take over
the family inheritance, when the friendly 81
wash stepped in and objected. claiming there
on the title given him by the woman. The
other, however, declined TO recognize the trans
Ter, but taking into consideration the kindness
OF the new claimant, gave him the IN
QiFlOeu use OF the rock Tor Two years
At the end of this time the family OF the friend
again put forward their claim, and so success
fully was it pressed that the village council
divided the possession OF the rock between the
two families until such time as the matter could
be settled more definitely.
For sixty years or more the joint owners
worked tremendously side By side, but some
trouble arising between them fifteen years ago,
the descendants of the orig nal owners assumed
sole control OF the rock. and declined pernlfs-
sion to the others to use it Matters thus re-
manned until last summer, when the heirs of
the "friend" put forth their claims alresh, and,
the case being referred to the village elders,
they decided to appoint Mr. Deylin sole
arbitrator.
