INDIAN MURDERER cONFBsSES
Horrible Story Told By Mrs. Del
Grosso's Slayer.

The Austin Reveille publishes the
confession OF Indian Frank, the MUIR
derer OF Mrs. Del Crosse and child, at
Bridges Station on the N. C. railroad,
two weeks ago. 1t is a cold blooded
statement of the killing and is In sub
stance as follows:
The Indian says that he was given
supper, bed and breakfast by Del Gros-
so. After leaving next morning, he
missed his pocket knife and went back
to the house. He asked Mrs. Del Gros-
so about the knife and she said she knew
nothing about it. The Indian looked
for the knife in the room where he had
slept the night before, but could not
find. it, On returning he accused the
woman OF having 1t, and then says;
"She said mo-, and made me mad

Nearby Coal Possibilities.

H. X. Mitchell, Esq, and Col. Roote,
whose arrival was noticed in last week s
issue, spent a number of days in this vi
entity examining mining properties, the
principal object of their visit being the
investigation of coal properties owned
by Mr.. Mitchell about twenty -four miles
east of Eureka, in the Pancake range
White Pine county, says the Sentinel.
Mr.. Mitchell has had great confidence
in these coal beds for many years. 1t
is now his intention to return here with
in short time for the purpose of max
ing an attempt to ascertain the prob
able depth of the beds by the use OF
diamond drills. The lowest depth so
far made by shafts is four hundred and
twelve feet. The water at this depth
prevented further sinking. One hun
bred thousand dollars have been ex-
pended on these properties, and coal
beds of considerable extent developed
The coal is OF particularly fine class
for coke. A chemical analysis shows
that three tons will produce two tons of
coke

BULLION FROM WHITE PINE
MINES.

The mines OF White Pine are coming
to the front with something besides talk
and buster. Nothing talks like bullion
and ore shipped to market and in these
particulars White Pine is entitled to at
least fourth place among the counties
of the State with every probability that
it will go higher. The reports to the
County Assessor for the quarter ending
September 30th, show that five mines
in the county yielded $50, 969.56 during
the months of July, August and Sep
tember. To this sum, at least 50, OOO
more should be added, representing the
value of ores shipped from small pros
poets throughout the county, oil wAlch
a number have been producing some
fine rock In limited amounts during the
summer.
OF the five mines reporting, two show
a profit on which they pay tax to the
county. The Rocco -Homestake of Ham
ilton has been regular contributor for
some time past, but for the last quarter
surpassed its former record, showing a
net yield OF IS, 257, 90 on which 1t pays
taxes amounting to $3l7.s9. This is
lead mine and all of its ores are shipped
to Colorado shelters.
The other mine to show a profit Is the
Joanna of Watsonville, new mine In
new camp, the property OF Mrs. VIM.
Watson. While its output has thus
far been small, being taken out in do
ing development work, the ore goes
high in gold, and reports as to the pres
ent condition OF the mine are most IA
vorable.
OF the other mines, the Young Treas
ure, lead producer Of Hamilton, Is al
present producing a fine quality OF ore
recently uncovered and will probably be
among the tax payers for the present
quarter. Forty-three tons OF ore were
shipped from it last week.
The showing made by the Chairman
is not in the least discouraging, as II
represents only the first run, which was
on low grade ore, when the process was
still in the experimental stage.
The Star mine at Cherry Creek pre-
sents the only real disappointment, as
much better showing had been expect
ed. However, in view of the reports Of
high grade ore coming from the prop
erty, and the present activity at both
mine and mill, the mine must now be on
paying basis, and its balance will nc
doubt be in the right column at the
end of the present quarter.
Taken as whole, the mining stu
alton in the county is brighter at pres
emit than for years past, and We believe
that the future contains better days for
old White Pine than she has seen since
the early seventies.

ARID LAND PROBLEMS.
Meeting Called to Consider Them
to Meet In Salt Lake.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. s.-Gov.
Richards today sent request to the
Governors OF all the Western States
and Territories to meet at Salt Lake,
Utah, December 18th next. His letter,
in part, is as follows:
1.-THE present status of the millions OF
acres comprising the public domain is
far frem satisfactory. Regulations and
laws, which, in the early days OF the
open range were sufficiently compre-
hensive and adapted to the conditions
OF the time, have become antiquated
and wholly inadequate to the Govern
msnt lands, and are now source Of
anxiety to the various elements looking
to them for sustenance.
1.-THE changed conditions which now
face us must be met by remedies that
will solve the important questions for
our greatest benefit. No question in
volving the interests OF our section APP
proaches the importance OF this one,
and in its solution the efforts OF our
strongest and best informed citizens
should combine in formulating bill for
the disposition of our public lands, to
be presented to Congress, that will be
satisfactory to our people and OF such
a character as will appeal ts the wisdom
and justice OF that body.
''only through organization can any
thing of material value be accomplished
in this direction, and no general organ
ization can occur unless we meet upon a
common ground and present our de-
mands after full and free discussion
and exchange of opinions.
believing that this matter Is OF i'm
mediate and earnest Importance, and
that signal good can be accomplished
by a conference Of the Governors OF all
the arid and semi-arid States and Ter
ritories, invite you to be present at a
meeting to be held at the Knutsford
hotel, Salt Lake City, on the 18th day
of December, 1899, for the purpose, II
possible, of uniting in a joint move,
ment toward the accomplishment OF
this great object, and I trust that you
win change plans IL already made COW
ering this date so as to be present upon
this occasion. "

The elections throughout the country
last week are being interpreted as vic
tories by both sides. McKinley's State
went Republican, and Bryan's went
Fusion; kentucky is in doubt, and in
the other States where elections were
held, there is little change from the
vote of three years ago. The Demo

First Payment on Purchase Made

The Salt Lake Tribune says: The
initial pay ment on the purchase of a
part interest in the Homestake group
at Deer Lodge, New, by Hon. A. w.
McCune of this city, was made through
one of the local banks this week and
the fate of the undertaking, which
means SO much for that neck OF the
woods is decided. From the payment
which has just been made the vendors,
among whom are included Lon Bast,
Charlie Slosson, J. c. Courtney and a
Mr.. Lyle, derive Sl0,0 this to be
followed by another in similar amount
when deeds will pass. In the mean
time Mr.. Mcfarland, who has long
served Mr.. McCune and his associates,
is in charge of the proposition, and with
fine plant OF machinery promises to
have it in readiness for mill next sea-
son. The work performed by him since
the option was secured by Mr.. McCune
has been with most satisfactory results.
The ore has maintained good milling
average as it has been opened up, and
that the purchaser was satisfied with
the values the payment OF $40, 900 af-
fords the best evidence.
