UTAH CAPITAL INVESTS.
During the past week Utah capital
has signiied its faith further in Me-
vada by taking hold of the ], J. Nc
Carly property in the Spring Valley
district. A good deal Of prospecting
has been done on these properties at
different times by Mr.. McCarty and
good values have been developed.
Through the efforts Of Nessrs. J. E.
and C. D. Ray prominent capitalists
of Utah have become interested in
these claims. During the past week
the attorney General of that State
examined the mines and the report to
his associates was SO satisfactory
that a company has been formed and
the development work will soon be-
gin. The new company will be well
financed by prominent mining men in
the Getty of the Saints Thus an
other bunch of Utah money will con g
to this State and we believe they will
receive big returns for their invest
ment.

THE GOLDEN RULE.

This property is developing into an
extensive vein of high values, and is
ranking as one of the best prospects
in camp. The pay streak is bigger
than the bottom of the shaft, and its
extent has not yet been determined
One of the visitors at this property
the past week was Mr.. Moss, an ex-
perienced California mining man so
pleased was he with this property
that he offered to place bond on
the claim at $25,00D, which offer was
refused, one of the chief holders say
ing he would not take that for his in
dividual interest. Timber has been
received this week for windlass, and
other hosting work, and sinking in
the original strike will soon be re-
sumed.
BONANZA MILL NEARLY COMPLETE.
For the past few weeks a force of
carpenters have been at work on the
Bonanza mill, getting the battery of
fifteen stamps ready to be put into
commission. This work is ABOUT COM
pleted and the stamps will soon be
dropping on pay ore. A strong flow
Of water came into the bottom of the
shaft where they were sinking, so no
more effective work can be done there
until pumps are installed. The resig-
nation of J. P. Fitting as superip-
tendent, to look after development of
other properties in which he is inter-
ested, will have no effect upon the
work at the mine or mill. AS soon
as possible, the stamps will again be

JURY'S VERDICT

NAPA. March 28.-After celebrating
thirty minutes the Jury before which
T. d. Shanahan and Oscar Retzman
were tried on charge Of numbering
Patient Luis at the Napa State Hos
pitaI for the Insane last December re-
turned a verdict Of not guilty. The de-
fendants are attendants at the hospital.
Patient Luis was a maniac, pos
sessed Of great strength. He was sub
ject to attacks Of epilepsy. Last Christ
mas day he attacked Retzman in ward
B of the asylum. Retzman called for
help and Shanahan responded. After
a struggle in which Luis was heavily
thrown the lunatic was finally subdued.
He died a few hours later and a charge
Of murder was placed against the two
attendants. The fact that Luis body
was badly bruised and several of his
ribs broken caused the accusation.
The evidence heard at the trial OF
Shanahan and Retzman, however,
showed that Luis death was due to
epilepsy. His ribs were broken when
he fell In the struggle In the ward. The
bruises were caused by the pressure
Of the straps with which he had been
restrained.
