how much gold ever came out will
never be known, but it is certaia-
ty that a fortune was stolen from the
owners when the rich belt was uncOv-
cred All the years since that time
there has been little or nothing done
with the property. There has never
been any work Of thorough nature
performed on the ground, and If there
is ledge there it does not show fro!n
the surface diggings. The owners seem
to be scattered to the four winds,
while a few remain in this city. This
is one Of the mines that should be
gone over and under modern methods
it should again become a producer.
Old mines are now being looked up,
and in a number of instances are prov
ing better producers than the new
discoveries.
Over in the Pine Nut range there
are a number of promising claims.
Some have produced bullion and they,
like the Athens have never been more
than scratched. There has never been
any work Of magnitude performed N
the section and what has been taken
out has come from the grass roots.

Last week w. C. Williams WAS tried

charging the defendant Judge Curler

doubtedly did have such a doubt, but
in my opinion there is no doubt but
that you intended to kill In this CON-
munity a man is convicted for sell

mony of an Indian, which is correct.

years, but If a man kills another In

tent to kill in more than nine out II
ten cases is acquitted. 1t seems to
me that the jurors of this county are
putting a premium on homicide. The
community will reap holocaust Of
crime that will shock it to the founda
ton unless conditions change. Mr..

SAME OLD BILLS.
Senate Passes Nevada War Claims
Of Many Years.

WASHINGTON, January H5.-A
bill that has been pending in Con-
gress for many years was passed to-
day by the Senate. BY it Nevada citi-
zens who furnished supplies to volun-
teers under Captain Stewart in 1860
are reimbursed. The amount apprOpri-
ated by the bill is $4,000.
The Senate also passed a bill re-
lieving Robert A. McAfee and John
Chiatovich of Nevada from RESPONSE
bility on the bond Of E. B. Zabriske,
deceased, who was formerly smelter
and refiner of the mint at Carson
City.
The first named bill is intended to
partially repay those settlers Of the
early days who gave their provisions
and other supplies that the volunteers
might go and assist in the quelling Of
an Indian uprising. Almost every year
since that time efforts have been
made to have Congress pass the bill.
Several times it came near passage
by being included in an omnibus meas
ure, but until today it always failed.
Many Nevada people will be beniflt-
ted by the bill, though they have
been waiting many years for the set

have long since passed away, their
claims now being held by heirs.
