A Fatal Runaway.

Leo. Ehrete, the we'll known Vir-
ginia City drayman, met with an
accident last Sunday which caused
his death. He had driven to a
ranch near the foot of the Geiger
grade to obtain a load of hay, and
while his team was standing there
the animals became frightened and
started to run. Ehrete jumped on
the hind end of the truck but was
thrown between the wheel and the
brace which holds the wagon stake,
and in that position was carried a
couple of miles. When the team
was stopped it was thought the man
was dead, but he regained conscious
ness and later on was brought to
the hospital in Virginia City. He
fingered until Wednesday afternoon
when death ended his sufferings,
He was IS yearsof ageand a native
of Germany.

NinetA -Four bonded

A large number Of Carsonites
have bonded three-ffths interest
in the Ninety-Four gravel mine in
Gold Canyon for $4,000. We believe
the bond is for three months, and
the price put up was $500, or 800
on each fifth bonded. The property
is good one for some company
with capital to handle it rightly. AT
the present time eight or ten men
find employment iii the mine and
with the crude apparatus employed
for taking out and saving the gold
are making from $50 to $500 per
day to the man. If a company with
some means gets hold of the prop,
erty, SO that improved and labor
saving appliances for working the
gravel can be put in, a great deal
of money can be taken out of this
ground.

University Fire.

A fire destroyed the mechanical
building at the State University
last Saturday afternoon. The fire
spread to several hay stacks adj
joining, and to the race track stables
The building and contents were
totally destroyed, and the loss is
about $4,000. The other property
destroyed makes the loss foot up to
about $4,000. 1t is not known how
the fire originated. The mechanical
building will be rebuilt, this time of
brick and stone.

Prohahlx Incendiary.

The dwelling house at Meadow
Lake owned by Mrs. Hartley was
destroyed by fire several days ago,
together with nearly all its contents.
The loss is estimated at $1,000.
There was no insurance. The house
was not occupied by any person,
and had not been for some time. 1t
is probable that the fire was incen-
diary, and just possible that some
of Foley's friends might know some
thing about It, He had some such

H. H. Holmes, charged with a
dozen murders, has been convicted
in Philadelphia of numbering Ben
iamin F. Pitzel. Extra care has
been taken so that he cannot COM
nit suicide. A double guard has
been placed on his cell and will re-
main there until he is executed. 1t
is noteworthy fact, as showing
the difference in proceedings East
and West, that it required only a
week to convict Holmes while it re-
quired over three months to secure
like result in the Durrant case.

An important Office.

To properly fill its Office and functions II is
important that the blood be pure When it is
in such condition the body is almost certain to
be healthy A complaint at this time is catarrh
in some of its various forms. slight cold de-
velopes the disease in the head. Droppings of
corruption passing into the lungs bring on con-
sumption. The only way to cute this disease
is to purify the blood The most obstinate
cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla as II by magic, simply
because it reaches the seat of the disease, and
by purifying and vitalizing the blood, removes
the cause. Not only does Hoods Sarsaparilla
do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good health to
reign supreme

The King Bros. Claim Bonded.

1t is understood that several
Carsonites have bonded the King
Bros. placer ground in Gold Canyon
for the sum of $4,000; or rather
they have taken an option on the
ground for six months, with priv
ilege Of three months more, if sale
is not made before the end of six
months, and have put up the re-
quired amount of money as a bonus.
The negotiations do not interfere
with the King Bros working all the
ground up to the end of the six
months. This property is one of
the best gold producers in the State.
There are many acres of the ground,
and some of it has proven very rich
The Kings have done considerable
development work on the ground /;
have large resesvoir aud line of
pipe for hydraulic purposes, and a
great length of sluices. They have
taken the money out OF the ground
to make all of these improvements.
The revenue they now receive from
leases of portions of the ground
brings them about 500 per month,
and they are making from $3.50 to
So per day in their own work. This
claim, like the Ninety-Fou could
be worked to greater advantage if
capital would take hold of it and
arrange to handle the material
faster. Both are good pieces of prop
erty, and consolidated and worked
under one management in sys-
tematic manner would yield large
revenue to the owners as we'll as
make considerable business in this
community.

T. R. Hofer, Geo. Thaxter, H. Har-

ties have located large tract of
placer ground in Spring Valley,
this county, and have bonded it to
eastern parties. This ground has
been known for years to contain
considerable gold, but the scarcity
Of water, and expense OF getting it
onto the ground has prevented it
from being worked. However, if
the ground is valuable enough, a
company will doubtless be found
to put water on it, as that is a
small obstacle to overcome to pro-
duce gold.
