on the Nevada Commonwealth prop
erty near Washoe City. The boarding
house is completed and twelve car
loads of lumber have arrived for the
new mill building. A portion OF the
machinery is on the ground and more
is in transit. The mill will have a
capacity of 200 tons a day, and will be
in operation before the summer is
over. All the other mines in the vi.
cinity are looking well. A new strike
has beer made in the rocky hi.
mine in a five-foot ledge. Some as
says as high as 5000 a ton have been

Samuel Roads, a passenger on No.
6 Tuesday night, disappeared from
the train q short distance east of Car
lin. He was missed by the conluc-
tor, who wired back from Elko that
a search be made for the missing
man. Late on the afternoon of the
4th, Roads was found lying near the
railroad track about a mile and a
quarter east of Carlin. His neck and
left leg were broken and his face and
hands were badly bruised. The de-
ceased had a railroad ticket from
H~ealdsburg, Cal, to Stanton, Mich
igan. I is not known whether Roads
jumped or fell from the train.-Elko

A fish hatchery, to handle 100000
spawn, Will be in operation before the
first of October in Carson. The con-
ference between the fish commission
ers of Nevada and the commissioner
of California at Tallac settled most
points, and the work will now proceed
with the cooperation of the California
commission in full accord. The
plan is to rebuild the Mills barn
building into a hatchery, to stock the
tanks with 100000 spawn, and to
operate the hatchery at least ten
months in each year. A deficiency
has been rceated by the state board
of examiners, and work will begin at
once.-Carson Appeal
Manhattan is fast becoming a placer
camp. All it needs is water to make
il a haven for placer miners, and al
ready in a number of places almost
within the town are men at work with
dry washers. All of them are making
better than wages and placer leases
are much sought from the owners of
claims.
The alluvial deposits exist to a
greater or less extent in every ravinc
and gulch in the camp. not only are
the IA streaks in the bottoms of the
gulches, but on little hills and knobs.
They are found close to lodges every
where whether on high ground or low.
The gold is at shallow depth, with
little earth washed in above 1T. In
places it is found in a depth to bed
rock six inches or less and in others
of four or five feet. In no place do
the miners have to sink 100 to LOO
feet as so often was the case on the
Klondyke's frozen beach claims. The
gold is as jagged as when it came
from the rock, showing that it has
travelled but a few leet. 1t is round
throughout the soil, but mostly on q
rock and in the crevices. In all re-
spects it is quite apparent that for
ages the rain fall and erosion have
been slight.-Forum.
A young Indian well filled up with
fire water, and in a sighting mood, dis
puted the right of way of the Tonopah
local as it rushed past the stock yards
east of the city last Sunday night and
was picked up by the COW catcher of
the engine and hurled several yards
from the track. He was for a time un-
conscious and the train crew telephon-
cd for the county ambulance but when
