SKELETONS UNEARTHED

Three skeletons were unearthed by
convicts at the state prison one day
last week while they were digging 9
sewer trench. The skeletons were wei
preserved and were evidently those OF
Indians who had been buried by then
tribe many years ago. They were
found together, and in the grave were
many arrow heads and spear points and
remnants of bows and arrows, thus IN
dicating that they had been warriors
A peculiar feature of the skeletons
was the size of the bones and the ex
IRENE thickness of the skulls. One OF
the skulls was fully half an inch II
thickness and the others were much
thicker than an ordinary skull. The
skeletons are being preserved and viii
probably be sent to the Smithsonian
Institute as relics of the fast dlsap'
pearing race of aborigines.

FLAMES MINE OWNERS AS
WELL AS THE MINElso

O. A. Erdman, a prominent attorney
of Denver and also of Goidnelu'
visited Winnemucca on Saturday Iast,
In speaking Of the situation at Goid-
field to a Silver State News represent
alive, he said: :
al think that the withdrawn OF
troops at the present time by fresl-
dent Roosevelt is extremely lnadVls-
al. | am certain the presence OF the
soldiers has prevented a great many
depredations, and their removal at the
present time will only be the signal TOT
a repetition of the scenes at GRIPPE
Creek. Ny reason for so stating Is
that numerous miners belonging to the
union are anxious to return to WORK
and will do so if given the chance, III
which case brutalities and men beng
beaten up will surely ensue. | conslo-
er that the present trouble was brought
apout as much by the hasty action OF
the mine owners in the matter OF re-
ducing the wage scale as anything
else. and that, combined with the rad
zeal element of the Western Fedora
ton at Gold6eld, brought about the
crisis. / feel certain that if a grad
ual reduction had been made and at the
same time the merchants had been
prevailed upon to reduce living ex'
penses, the trouble would have been
amicably settled some time ago.
