Music or the stamps.

There is nothing that revives the
residents of nearly deserted camp
like the starting up of a quartz
mill and the music of the stamps.
The old Rock Point mill, at this
place, is now ready for business,
and has been given trial run after
being overhauled and put in prop
er condition for working ore. The
mill will start up Monday for a
steady run on ore from the Logan
and Hully mine in Como. There
are now probably seventy tons Of
ore in the mill and in the ore bins,
and more ore will be hauled right
along to keep the mill going. Ten
stamps will be kept busy and about
20 or 25 tons of rock will be crush
ed daily. The ore is free milling
gold rock, and will probably aver
age $40 per ton, possibly more. 1t
will be worked by the continuous
process, doing away with tanks and
slum shoveling, the pulp pass
ing directly from the stamps into
string of pans-seven in number
and then into four settlers. Be-
fore the pulp reaches the pans, how.
ever, it passes over a set of rifles
which are for the purpose of catch
ing the gold that may he in a con-
dition to catch before it reaches the
pans. The process is similar to
the Boss process with some changes
made by Messrs. Logan and Hully,
who are experienced mill men.
Five or six men will find employ
ment in the mill and the hauling
of ore will engage more, while, if
the rock can be worked successfully,
fifteen or twenty miners will soon
find employment in the mine ex-
tracing ore to keep the mill run
ming.
This will all add business to orr
little town, and residents here all
pray for the success of the venture
being made.

Death or John sweeney.

Last Tuesday night John Sweeny,
a well-known sporting man of Car
son, met with a horrible death at
his home one mile from Carson, be-
ing burned to death in his house.
Itseems Sweeney had been drinking
hard for a day or two before the
fatal night, and Tuesday night
some friends had taken him home
and put him to bed. About IL
O'Clock that night his house was
discovered to be on fire, and when
the building was destroyed Swee-
ney's charred body. burned SO as to
be unrecogniza BILE, was discovered
in the ruins. The arms and legs
were burned completely off from
the trunk. How the fire originated
is not known, but it is supposed
that Sweeney got out of bed and lit
a lamp or candle, and in his befud-
died condition set the fire himself,
and was then too helpless to ex-
tinguish it or get out of the house.
Johnny Sweeney was a native of
Detroit, Mich, and was about 80
years of age at the time ofhis death.
He had been resident of this State
for over 25 years. He was a true
sport, and had made and lost
number of fortunes. He was pub
lie spirited to fault, and always
ready to aid new enterprise of
any kind. He leaves a wife and
two children in San Francisco, in
poor circumstances, as he had met
with reverses in the past two years,
and the parlance of sports was
nearly "dead broke" He was a
member of the K. Of p, and his
funeral took place under the au-
spices of that Order in Carson
yesterday.

viii Probably Come Back.

The San Francisco Call says the
Board of Directors of the Hale &
Norcross mine has decided to send
H. w. Tangerman back to Virginia
as Superintendent of the mine, and
Tangerman says he is quite ready
to go. He says he is not afraid,
and had they not taken him to a
complete disadvantage they would
not have succeeded as they did.

Good News For Anrora.

Ex-Governor Colcord visited Au-
rora last week. While there he
arranged to have twenty tons of
ore taken from the Esmeralda Con.
mines. The ore will be taken to
Bodie and treated by the cyanide
process as an experiment. If it is
found that profit can be made,
the Governor informs us that a
company will erect a plant near
Aurora. There are unlimited guam
titles of low grade ore in the Au-
rora mines and if the experiment
proves successful large force OF
men will be engaged at the mines.
the Governor will return in about
a week to personally superintend
the working of the ore and see that
it is given a fair test .-BulLetin.

A MousehOld Treasure.

D. w. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N.
Y, says that he always keeps DIR.
Kings New Discovery in the house,
and his family has always found the
very best results follow it's use; that
he would not be without it if pro-
durable. G. A. Dykeman, Druggist,
Catskill, N. Y, says that DIR. Kings
New Discovery is undoubtedly the
best Cough remedy; that he has
used it in his family for eight years,
and that it has never failed to do all
that is claimed for it. Why not try
a remedy so long tried and tested?

Trenmore CONN indicted.

The United States Grand Jury
filed its final report Monday af-
ternoon, accompanied by an indict-
ment of Trenmore Coffin. The in
dictment alleges that on or about
November 25, 1895, and while the
trial of James Heney was pending.
Trenmore Coffin corruptly and fell
oniously obstructed and impeded
the due administration of justice
by paying 500 for the purpose of
influencing Joseph Langevin to not
appear in the United States District
Court and testify, also to avoid the
service of subpoena. Coffin ap-
peared in Court and furnished a
bond of $500, with Jake Klein and
DIR. S. L. Lee as securities for his
appearance when required to an
swer to the charge.

May Begin work.

We were informed this week that
in all probability JAS. Sears and
other owners of the Eureka-Como
mine, in Como, will begin operations
on the property again before this
Summer is over. Some pretty fair
gold prospects have been obtained
in this mine, and if work is begun
again on it, it will be more of a
prospecting proposition for gold
than anything else.

New Gold Discovery.

J. M. McSwain, of Esmeralda
county, has made quite rich gold
strike near Cambridge, on the East
Walker river. He has sunk shaft
over 20 feet and has six to eight
inch ledge of ore that will average
$500 in gold. This ore is being haul
ed to the Gignoux mill and the mill
will be started about the 10th of
this month. The strike has caused
considerable excitement in that
section of the country and prospect
ors are going there at lively rate.
McSwain discovered his prospect
while riding through the canyon on
his horse. He stumbled over large
boulder which upon being pounded
up gave return of about $50 in
gold. He then began to search for
the vein and soon discovered it and
sank the shaft Gold has been
known to exist in the hills of that
section for years, but this is the
first strike that has been make that
has ever amounted to much.

November Weather.

Hicks forecasts the weather for
November as follows: Fair, cool
weather is promised for most sections
at the opening of November. From
about the 4th to 9TH prepare for much
active, violent perturbation, especially
on the lakes and north Atlantic. Rain
and snow, attended and followed by
stiff gales, and very cold, may be
counted on. The far south may expect
thunder, rain, heavy winds and change
at the close 10 much cooler. New
moon ard Perigree both fall in this
period, which fact indicates much. as
may ne known by reading our almanac
ami paper. The 18th and 18th bring
renewed storm conditions and general
stOrminess, ending in more cold. Sleet
and snow will be general about this
time, as Mercury disturbance is
central on the 18th. The 10th to
18th is regular storm period. Cold
will follow. From this time on we
enter a Venus, Mars, Mercury and
Earth combination that will reach a
crisis in December. From about DIST
TO 23rd look for reactionary storms,
followed later by all changes that
naturally follow at this season. The
9th to 30th is the closing storm
period of the month. Look for hard
winter storms ending in very cold
weather Prepare for hard December.
