Solid Gold at Round Mountain

Solid Gold at Round Mountain.
A report has just reached the com
pany's office, according to Satur-
days Goldfeld News, announcing that
at a certain point in the company's
workings on the Sunnyside at Round
Mountain, there has been opened up a
stringer of solid gold; it's extent is not
reported, nor will be for the present,
and has been carefully covered up.
Meanwhile the lessees are in ore so
rich that it has been necessary to place
a guard on the ground. Gold paintings
are made there which at times seem to
equal placer mining Specifications for
the proposed mill are now in, and
Engineer Cruise, who is in charge of
construction, leaves camp for Round
Mountain Tuesday. Should there be
no delay in the delivery of material, the
first unit of this mill will be ready for
work in about 40 days. twenty-five
thousand shares of the ste was sold
during the week at rs cents a share.
This was a private sale and goes into
the hands of present holders. No adj
ditional stock will be sold by the cor
poration and as far as can be seen,
there is none on the market that can
be purchased.

E. WILLIAMS
KILLED AT AUSTIN
Mistaken for Another Man He
Receives a Fatal Bullet

News reached this place Wednesday
that on Tuesday night A. G. Williams,
formerly an attache Of the Nye and
Ormsby County Bank in Tonopah and
well known to our townspeople, was
shot and killed at Austin by one Patsy
Dryer, a professional gambler, who
formerly lived in Tonopah. The version
of the fatility as given by F. H. Tripp-
lett, in a dispatch from Austin Thurs
day, is to the effect that Dwyer and
Jack O'Brien, a bartender in the
Monarch saloon at Manhattan, had a
quarrel in the Palace saloon in Austin,
and when they were parted there was
an understanding that when next they
met they would settle their differences
with guns. About 8 o'clock Dwyer
went to the red light district, looking
for 0'Brien. Not finding him there he
started for town, and on turning a
corner near the international hotel he
saw Albert Williams, a conductor on
the Nevada Central railroad, and Re-
cOrder H. w. Dyer standing together,
and in the moonlight mistook Williams
for O'Brien and Dyer for Louis Wool
cock, O'Brien's partner. Without a
word Dwyer fired three shots, one bullet
entering Williams brain and at 2:15
this morning he expired.
One bullet struck Dyer in the left
leg between the ankle and the knee,
breaking and splintering both bones.
The wound is a bad one. Dryer was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Oliver, but
being drunk did not realize the enormity
of his crime. This morning Dwyer was
taken to Dyer's home and identified
and later on was taken to view the re-
mains of Williams. Up to the time he
saw the remains of his victim Dryer
thought that he had killed O'Brien.
On viewing the remains and realizing
his terrible mistake, Dwyer collapsed.
Dyer and Williams are two of the
most popular young men in Austin,
and the tragedy has caused great ex-
element but no serious trouble is
expected as an outcome Of the crime.

LABOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

The legislature of the State of Ne
vada by an act approved March II,
1903, designated the first Monday of
September as Labor Day.
Believing that the intention was to
recognize the honor and dignity of
labor, it becomes a pleasant opportu-
people of this State by recommending
the observance of the day in such
manner as to enlist and cultivate good
feeling and harmony in the ranks of
those who toll, and impress the desira-
bility of establishing just and mutual
relations with those who give employ-
ment. Such conditions will result in
great benefit to all business affairs,
and give assurance of future pros
perity and contentment.
1t is gratifying that in our own State
both interests have been reasonable in
settling differences without resorting
to extreme measures. 1t is to be
hoped that these relations will con
tlnue Tor the public good and welfare
of both labor and capital.
Now, therefore, l appoint and pro-
claim Monday, the Sd day of Septem-
Der, 1906, Labor Day.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State of Nevada, at the
capitol, in Carson City, this 25th day
July, 1906.

EIGHT DEAD AND MANY MISSING
Tt ain Leaves High Bridge That Spans
the Cimarron
By Associated Press.

GUTHRIE, OKLA, Sept 1S.-Eight
people are dead, twenty more are in
jured, and many are missing in the
most disastrous wreck in the recent
history of the Rock Island, which oc-
Cured three miles from Dover, Okla,
at $3.50 this morning.
The engine. tender and mail cars,
smoker and day coach of passenger
train No. IL, northbound, left the high
bridge that spans the CimarrOn river
and plunged into the current, tanked
by treacherous quicksands.
The locomotive disappeared from
sight almost Immediately
The mail and baggage clerks escaped
from their coaches and swami to the
shore.
The accident was due to the defective
condition of the bridge, which was
swerved out of line by the pressure of
driftwood carried down by the swollen
stream.
The train was an hour late and was
running at high speed to make up
time. The engine driver did not see
the condition of the bridge until he
was within a few yards, when it was
too late to stop. He shouted to his
fireman, threw on the air brakes and
jumped. He landed on the very verge
of the river bank and escaped unhurt.
The fireman was less fortunate, sus-
tanning severe INJURIES.
When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly collapsed,
precipitating the engine and coaches
into the water The chair car and two
Pullmans were not pulled in, but re-
manned on the track.
The scene was one of indescrtbable
confusion. The shrieks of those i'm
prisoned In the partially submerged
coaches were added to the shouts Of
those on the bank.
The current covered and carried the
day coach down stream and lodged II
on sand bank. The passengers We're
helped out through doors and windows
The smoking car hoated down
stream, submerged all but the very top
II struck on a sand bar In the middle
of the river and four men were seen to

WELCOME DEATH
IN ANY FORM
CREFFIELD'S AVENGERS GIVE
SANITY TESTIMONY
Women Say They Were "CalIed" to
XIII Mitchell and Expected
to Be Sacrificed by
Mob
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Sept. 1S.-Early this aft
ernoon the commission named by
Judge Frater to examine into the san
ity of Esther Mitchell and Mrs. Maud
Creffield, held on charges of numbering
George Mitchell, heard the last of
those to be introduced and within a
few days win make their report to the
court.
The two women prisoners were the
last to be heard and their testimony
while different from any they have pre-
viously given was very much alike.
Statements have been made by the
women that they were glad they did
the deed; would do the same thing
again, if the same circumstances pre-
scented themselves, are, not afraid to
die for the act, and would welcome
death in any form.
They also said that they have con-
sidered taking their own lives and
would do so if called upon by God TO
take that step.
In this connection they said they
would kill any one If told by God to 10
so.
They declared Creffield had said on
the night before his death that he was
soon to be taken away and that after
George Mitchell had done the shooting
they at once began to mature plans
for his death If he should escape the
justice of the courts.
"CaIIed" to XIII
The testimony was to the effect that
Mrs. Creffield was first called to do the
killing but that afterward it devolved
upon Esther.
They denied statements made by
them at the time of the trial regarding
the motives for the act and said they
had planned to make these statements
beforehand in order to hide the real
motive and so protect their religion
from the scott of the people.
Esther Mitchell stated that in maxi
ing the statement she had expected it
would provoke mob violence and that
she had desired to die in that manner.
She stated that Creffield was to have
been instrumental in bringing about
the restoration and that inasmuch as
this was his mission Mitchell COM
mtted the deed for which he must
atone by death.
Tomorrow morning the commission
will meet with Judge Frater for the
purpose of considering the manner of
making the report
If it is desired to have the entire
proceedings included in the report the
commission will not be able to give its
findings for some days, as 1t will re-
quire some time to transcribe the tes-
timony
