Gr,ce Sentenced to Be Hanged.

Thomas Grice, a negro boy about IS years of age, was today sentenced to be
 hanged by Judge Carter In the Circuit Court. The date of the execution has not yet been fixed, but the sentence of death apparently had no effect upon the negro, who did not seem to realize that within a short while he would go upon the scaffold and there pay the penalty of his crime. Gricc killed a negro boy a few months ago near Me- David, Fla The murder was a most brutal one. The two negroes were in a boat in-the Escambia River. The mur- dered boy was the possessor of dollar
 which Grice desired. He forcibly took the money and when the boy objected.
 he was thrown into the river When he endeavored tm save himself from drowning, he was struck on the head repeatedly with an oar and fin lily killed.

Mercury nrenned Hard.

The predicted freeze. made known to the people in this city through The Advertiser yesterday morning, was a little behind scheduled time and as the day grew older and the weather kept warm citizens thought that the wealth CT man had made a mistake. But late yesterday afternoon the mercury began to drop and kept going lower and lower during last night until this morning it was at the freezing point.
 All today the mercury has been how ering around the freezing point and on account of the recent warm spell the suffering of the citizens as they hur- ried along the streets has been most noticeable. The recent warm spell is said to have caused many of the fruit trees in this locality to begin to bud and citizens are glad of the cold.

TONOPAH MAN
DISPLAYS GOLD

According to the Salt Lake City
papers, J.. H. Shockley, the we'll known
mining engineer of Tonopah, who is
interested in several of the big camps
of Nevada, including Manhattan, Round
Mountain, Fairview and some of the
older camps, including Bullfrog, came
in from the west Thursday evening and
pulled out for New York, Boston and
other eastern points last night on min
ing business.
Mr.. Shockley has with him a cabinet
of gold ore specimens and the collec-
ton is n that is sure to whet the
appetite of every tenderfoot that gets
his optics on it during Mr.. S~hockley's
trip through the east. All of the speci-
mems were secured from the Round
Mountain Mining oompany's property
at Round Mountain, fourteen miles
north of Manhattan, and it would prob
ably be no exaggeration to say that
ut is the handsomest and probably the
most valuable collection of gold ores
that ever went away from a single
mine for exhibition purposes.
A label IN the glass covering of the
cabinet to the bottom, of which every
specimen is riveted down with steel
wire, states that the collection is not
being sent out for the purpose of adver-
tising the property from which the ore
was taken, but for the sole purpose of
giving people or the outside an idea Of
the character of the ore that is pro-
duced in the Round Mountain district.
The samples have an estimated value
Of $3.50, 900 per ton and the small collec-
ton in the cabinet is estimated to be
worth somewhere between 81, 500 and
$l,S00 for the gold contained in the
rock, many pieces of which are more
than half metal.
The collection was on exhibition in
the lobby of the Knutsford hotel all
day and a great many people crowded
around the case in admiration of the
display.

MAKES ANOTHER
DISCOVERY

Manager Pete Busch has just broken
into a strong vein in the west crosscut
from the lower tunnel at the Peerless,
says a dispatch from Rhyolite of the
18th inst. This crosscut was started
only a few days ago from the 2OO-foot
point in the tunnel and had advanced
but a short distance, when the vein
was encountered. 1t has penetrated
ledge matter for six feet, and there is
no indications of an opposite wall. The
material is lively looking quartz and is
expected to yield good milling values.
Excellent development progress is
being made at the Peerless. The lower
tunnel is in over 200 feet, cutting the
formation diagonally. At the 16O-foot
point a sIx-foot vein was cut and a
drift east started on it. This has ad-
vanced IS feet in ore of a good average
grade. Since leaving the six-foot lead
stringers of manganese and quartz
have been cut at intervals along the
course Of the main bore. The crosscut
recently started is expected to catch
the three big veins appearing on the
surface at a short distance beyond the
present face.
The shaft started at the intersection
of several known leads is down about 60
feet and will be sunk to the 10O-foot
point, when the veins will be crosscut
east and west. Manager Busch is
negotiating for a hoist to be placed at
this point. His plans also contemplate
the sinking of a shaft at the intersec-
ton Of a cross vein from the Bonanza
mountain and a spur from the Tramp
vein. A hosting plant will also be
installed here. This work, however,
will not be undertaken until the hot
weather is over. All surface work has
ceased now and the men have been put
underground.
The richest surface showing observed
by the Record correspondent at the
property was at an open cut neal the
east side center of the Peerless claim
on what is known as a spur of the
Tramp vein. A sample from Is inches
indicated in the pan a return going into
the hundreds. This vein has been
opened on the surface for 1900 feet.
The Peerless is well situated, being
surrounded by such well-known mines
as the Tramp Consolidated, Rush, Bo-
nanza Mountain, Golden Scepter and
others.

EXTENSION IS
In NEW HANDS

A deal has been closed by which ICON
trolling interest in the Round Mountain
Extension Mining Company passes into
strong hands, says a dispatch from
Goldfeld of the 18th inst.
The purchaser was A. r. Dearborn
of Birmingham, and the transaction in
wolves big money and was for spot cash.
There is probably no group of men that
have better reason to be satisfied with
the gold mines of Southern Nevada than
the people of Birmingham. They came
into the field early and in connection
with Loftus e. Davis have made good at
every point, first in the Sandstone,
again in the Gold Bar, in the Great
Bend, in the bonanza at Round Noun
tain. Such success has stimulated them
to other things, and in the purchase just
made it is very probable that they are
in for another big winner.
The Round Mountain Extension prop
erty lies eastof the great bonanza, only
a matter of a few hundred feet. 1t
consists of seven full claims, through a
portion of which the great ledge of the
country distinctly passes. Up to date
only prospecting has been done, but
gold and the evidence of gold in great
quantity has been found at various
points on the property. AS the result
of some earlier work it is said there is
$4,000 worth of ore lying on the dump.
The within on the Norcross Mining
company's ground is to give place to a
new rs h. p. gasoline hoist, which is
due there. The footOf the shaft, down
% feet, is in a three-foot ledge of tale.
ms ledge has been present throughout
the work and is widening as depth is at
famed, The values are likewise in
creaslng. The shaft is to goto the 200
loot mark, when drifting and crosscut-
ting will begin.

The GOVERNOR
AS A PROSPECTOR

While on a tour of the mining camps
of Southwestern Nevada a few DAYS
ago Governor Sparks took occasion to
visit Gold Hill, says a dispatch from
Manhattan of the 14th inst.
He went down the shaft of the Stray
Dog first. In the drift of the 135-foot
level two miners were sinking their
picks into a rather soft brownish look
ing rock. Carelessly, Governor Sparks
stopped, scooped up a handful Just
thrown back by one of the picks stuck it
into the pocket of his khaki jacket and
said Lets go up again"
The party went up. At the top the
Governor said, Bring me a pan and
a bucket of water"
To the nod of Superintendent Camp
bell a man went off and came back
with a little iron mortar, a hand drill, a
bucket of dirty water and a small
broken-handled frying. pan. The Gov
ernor when through with the panning
operations, declared in surprise, ''That
pans at least $1,000 to the ton"
The Governor spent two days in camp.
He tramped the hills and climbed down
the shafts of the properties on Gold Hill
with a d~exterity and tirelessness that
indicated that he was no tenderfoot.
On the Stray Dog dump upwards of
$50, 900 worth of high-grade ore is await
ing shipment to the smelters, and on
the Jumping Jack property, which adj
joins, 100 tons are being sacked that
averages $3.50 per ton. On the Union
No. 8 claim of the Dexter, which end
lines the Stray Dog, about 5000, 900
worth Of ore is piled on the dumps.
Everywhere on Gold Hill, day and night
shifts of men r being employed. No
fewer than thirty shafts are being sunk
on Gold Hill properties and all of these
are more. The early predictions of the
great mining men that inspected Man
haitian in the spring are being fulfilled
and great fortunes are apparently in the
making on every side.
