The Railroad.

The progress of the railroad for the
past two weeks, although considerable,
hardly justifes the hope that the line
will be in running order to Martell's S
within the next month. Track laying
has advanced some distance beyond
Kerr's station, or Ranlett, as the depot
will be named. Freight is being re-
ceived as far as this point. Several
cars of freight stood on the track at
the time we passed there Saturday
The depot building is being erected,
and in few days everything will be in
good shape for business to this point.
The heavy filling in the neighborhood
OF Cyclone station, where the railroad
will cross the wagon road, still lacks a
good deal of completion. And nothing
has been done in grading on the north
side of the road However, from
Cyclone to Martell's the grading work
is insignificant.

MINING NEWS.

GWIN.-Immediately following the
report that 80 men were let out at the
Gwin, comes another that fabulously
rich strike was made in the north drift
OF the lower level. If the half that we
hear is true, the mine will soon be able
to make showing equal to that made
during its palmiest days.
TREADWELL.-Som thorough pros
pecting is being done under the super
intendency of a man who has spent a
lifetime in quartz mines. So far the
results are satisfactory, aud operations
will continue indefinitely.
A report was received Monday that
the mining outlook at and near the
Defender was most hattering. The
rock at the Defender is looking better
than at any time for months, and
Superintendent Joyce is congratulate
ing himself that he did not sell when
opportunity offered itself some time
ago.
The Newman Miles claim is showing
up splendidly. Each days work shows
the ledge to better advantage. These
men no doubt have second Defender.

The Bon Bon Party.

To say that the Bon Bon party was
second to no other had in Jackson dur
ing the past year would be no exaggera-
tion. Loves hall was filed TO over
flowing. The music seemed to be first
class. and every lover of dancing had
the opportunity at least to get his
moneys worth. People from all parts
of the county were present. Nothing
occurred during the evening to mar
its pleasures. Luncheon began at 1890
p. m. and continued until 80 a. M.
Wednesday morning. The N. D. G. w.
of Jackson evidently know how to get
up party and manage large crowd.
The young people will anxiousiy look
forward for the announcement of an.
other of the pleasant reunions.

Struck $40 Rock.

Fred Greisbach aud Owen Gillick, of
Volcano. recently bonded a mine of
Cassinelli Bros. in the Pioneer district.
They had barely commenced operations
on the claim when they encountered a
rich ore body. We have not heard full
particulars, but learn that a seam 8
inches wide is easily $40 rock. These
men are good prospectors, and will
make thorough examination of their
find before they make any hurrah
about it. We only hope that the en-
tire ledge matter will develop into $40
rock, run the entire length of the
claim, and go down beyond the 5000
foot mark.

Moving Element.

For several days past the tramp or
moving element of some community
has been passing through Jackson in
large numbers. Some of these men
have money, and seem to take delight
in getting brim full. Most drinkers
are satisfied when carrying small load,
but these fellows want to find the gut
ter before they are satisfied. Quite a
few of them are saucy fellows, and are
bent on making trouble. They seem
to be looking for few days free grub
at Norman's boarding house, and are
not satisfied until they get it. If the
peace officers of one town give them
the gosby they raise more serious
disturbance in the next town. and are
brought back for short time. 1t is
expected that this will continue as long
as the construction of tho railroad is
kept up in the county. By passing
these people by without comment or
molestation may save trouble and
expense,
Nothing will please an invalid as well

The new buss being built by Gar

being completed. Mr.. Newman ex-
poets to meet the first passenger train
that arrives at Martell's station and
give the passengers free ride into
Jackson. The -buss when completed
will be beauty, and with the blacks

will no doubt be the most attractive
outfit that ever passed through
Jackson.

BLEW HIS HEAD OFF.
Thomas Blatzer Commits Suicide in Jack
son Valley by Shooting Himself.

The body of Thomas Blatzer was
found dead in his cabin on the ranch
of Geo. Yager in Jackson valley under
circumstances which indicated suicide.
1t is thought the act of self-destruction
was committed on Sunday, as the
neighbOrs had not seen him around
since Saturday last. Deceased was a
young man about 2S years of age. and
for the past year had been employed in
cutting wood on the wager place near
Buena Vista. He lived alone, and from
what transpired at the inquest gave
not the slightest hint by word or dis
position that the idea of suicide pos
sessed him. Geo. Yager and a helper
went to the ranch Tuesday morning
for the purpose of catching up some
stock. Yager repaired to the dwelling
of Blatzer for the purpose of getting a
piece of rope. There he found Blatzer
lying on the floor dead, the top of his
head blown off by the discharge of a
lay by his side, one barrel of which was
empty, the other loaded. A stick had
been tied to the trigger in such way
that the weapon might be discharged
by foot pressure. The charge had evil
IDENTIFY. struck the victim about the
bridge of the nose, shatteriug the
skull and scattering brain matter about
the walls of the cabin, No cause can
be assigned for the deed. wager said
no trouble had occurred betwe cen them.
A note or memorandum, supposed to
have been written by deceased, was
found. 1t bore neither signature nor
date. 1t was written in German. There
were but few words, which were in
terpreted to mean: ''You have got
my meat. now you can have my hide. !"
No one was able to throw any light on
this note, and it was all that was found
to convey the idea that the victim was
brooding over something. Coroner G.
M. Huberty held an inquest on Tues
day, the jury finding verdict of sui
eide. Deceased was a stranger, with
out relatives SO far as known in the
state. He was not known to have re-
ceived any letters by mail. The re-
mains were brought to Jackson and
inferred at the county's expense.
Our Camp Opra correspondent gives
the following additional particulars:
The dead body was lying on some
barley sacks spread on the floor, the
head resting on sack of salt. His
hands grasped a gun barrel. The whole
upper right side of his head was blown
off, his brains were spattered all over
the wall, and great pool of blood had
formed beside him. The gun rested
across his body. His legs were stretched
out straight, SO it is supposed that LIE
placed his knees against a stick which
he had whitfield to fit against the trig-
ger, and holding the muzzle against
his eye socket Strengthened out his legs
and so discharged the gun. Only last
week the unfortunate man told one of
the neighbors that in the spring he was
going back to the old country to visit
his aged father and mother. After the
inquest one man, Roy Healy, remained
with the body over night holding lone
vigil in that desolate cabin with the
unfortunate man. The suicide was
never known to drink liquor, and was
very industrious during the whole time
he has been here.

Tiny Yellow Dog Creates Lot of Ex-
 citement.
 Early Monday morning the farmers in the neighborhood of Bethany were raised to excitement over the discovery of s. G. Davidson upon going to feed the chickens in the hen house of his son, Tyler Davidson, that morning. He found that something had terribly torn and killed twentyfour of the hens. Later MT. Young, neighbor, reported that he had met with a loss of eight. Likewise Henry Beecher had lost eight hens and a turkey. The farmers were notified by Tyler Davidson's telephone line to be on the watch for the animal doing so much damage.
 It later developed that MT. Noble's premises had been also visited by the animal. On going to his coop, upon hearing 8 strange noise, he discovered and killed the culprit, which proved to be small yellow dog. It was pitch forked.
 Owing to town ordinance the losers may be recouped because of the fund in the town treasury which happens there from the taxation on dogs Claims for the poultry destroyed by the dog will probably be presented.
 Owing to the possibility that the dog may have been mad the farmers did not market the poultry. The dog is dead and now peace and quietness reign in the valley.
