News From the Westward.

The steamer Santa Ana arrived from the West early Sunday morn ing. She had a small amount of mail for this place, and after re- maining here about three hours departed for Seattle.
 Among the few passengers going out on the Santa Ana was Mir. Andrew Grosvold, of Sand Point. Mir. Grosvold came to this country in 1886, and spent number of years about Unga as hunter. He now keeps d store and fox island at Sand Point. Sand Point is about the center of the Shumagin group of islands and is very at tractive spot for hunters and tour ists. This count.ry affords ample opportunities for prospector>, as quartz, coal and oil indications are to be seen both on the islands and adjacent mainland.
 In an interview Mir. Grosvold speak highly of the climate of that section and the future possibilities of the place. The snowfall is very light and rarely lasts on tine ground more than a couple of days. The grass is always good and plentiful and cattle can be raised there without any difficulty.
 The coal deposits at Unga are at present receiving the especial at tention- of the Consolidated Coal Co, who last year eXpended over $6o,OO0 in development work and expect to spend double that amount this year. They will employ a large number of men and put their property in shape to ship coal to aIiy market. Coal harbor adiacept to the mines is epen all the year and will accommodate shipping of any size

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
The Body Of Gus Sandstrom Of BuI.
lion, Found Burned to Death.

Word was received by Justice OF the
Peace William Norris Tuesday morning
from Albert Kattenhorn of Bullion, this
county, conveying the news that the
charrsd remains OF Gus Sandstrom had
been found amidst the ruins of his cabin
which probably was burned the latter
part of the week. No particulars of how
the affair occurred were explained in the
letter as probably no one was around
when it happened and it may always re-
main a mystery as to how be came to his
death. whether he was foully murdered
or caused through his W carelessness.
1t is thought that on retiring he left a
lamp or candle burning by the side of
his bed and forgetting to extinguish it
fell asleep, which is probably the cause OF
catching the cabin on fire, and no doubt
before he awoke the fire had gained such
Roadway as to render him powerless t.
make his escape.
Deceased was an old time resident Of
Bullion where he has been engaged in
mining for several years and was a man
quite well known in Battle Mountain.
He was a native of Sweden aud aged
about s. or 70 years of age.
LATER-Since the above was in type,
Albert Kattenhorn came in town and in
formed us that Sardstrom had been
drinking for some days and it is thought
by Mr.. Kattenhorn hat on retiring left
a light burning aud fell off to sleep
catching the he'd clothes on fire. His
body was burned verv badly, his legs
and arms being burned to a crisp. His
remains wore buried in Bullion.

Railroad Improvement.

The two years reconstruction work by
the Southern Pacific on the line between
Reno and Ogden has resulted 10 a saving
Of forty seven and a half miles in actual
distance, but which is the equivalent to
seventy-fv miles on account OF the
overcoming of difficult grades. There
is a practical saving of about two honrs
in actual running time for a stretch OF
585 miles between the two stations. 1t
is expected tina. trains will be using the
new track system before the first of the
year. No less than twelve different
places have been Strengthened and the
grades reduced materially in many in
stances. To the west of Reno there is
sill the possibility of overcoming an ell.
ovation of one thousand feet by the con-
struction of a tunnel. This route would
do away with the long line of snow sheds
and reduce the running time betwe en-
Reno and San Francisco greatly.
