DWyer Taken Back
to Austin.

Patrick Dwyer, indicted and
found guilty of the murder of
Conductor Williams, has been
taken back to Austin by Sheriff
Murphy where be will appear in
the District Court there.
The murder in which Dwyer
figured is well remembered by local
people and also his subsequent
trial and sentencing to be hanged
for the crime. The supreme court
granted him "A new trial upon the
grounds that the district court
should have granted the prisoner
a change of venue when he asked
for it. The supreme court in
granting a new trial held specifi-
cally that the Lander court must
grant change of venue to the de-
fendant and this will be done when
Dwyer appears in the court there
on the 18th of this month.

is this true of the original discov-

about seven feet wide was exposed
and an average sample of the
ledge gave return of about $50 in
gold, while picked samples went
from $472 to $500 in gold. The
property is favorably situated and
all indications point to winner.
Where the original discovery was
made there appears to be a net

Some of the lodges can be traced
for distance of from one to three
miles.

A correspondent of the Winnie
mucca Silver State News, writing
to that paper has the following to
say of the gold-bearing district in
which district the new strike on
Willow Greek was made. 1t is as
follows:
Southwest of Battle Mountain
about twenty miles some good
prospects have lately been discov-
cred. Gold bearing rock has been
uncovered in considerable guam
tity in the hills of the western por-
ton of the old Galena district
about one mile southwest of the
old Copper Canyon mine, prop
erty that has been worked for over
30 years and is now being devel-
oped by a Scoth-English company.
They are reported to ask 100000
for the property, which is high
grade copper proposition. Three
six-horse teams are busy hauling
ore from this property to Battle
Mountain for shipment to tie
smelters. The old Galena mine is
well-known to everybody as hav-
ing produced millions in the past,
and Is now having a revival of ac-
tivity.
The new gold-bearing district
that has just been discovered is
situateo in a heavily mineralized
zone. The mountains roundabout
are capped with rhyolite, the lower
spurs with malapi. The leading
formation of the district is a high
ly altered limestone, trayersed by
great dykes of quartzite, which
seem to serve as Gaping to the
lodges beneath. The float of the
district often shows colors and as
says of rock taken from lodges on
the original strike show values
ranging from So to $472. A shaft
has been sunk on a ledge of the Ell
Dorado claim to a depth of 10 feet
and the values have increased from
$40 and $50 at the surface to $400
and $500 at the bottom. At an
other point on this claim ledge 3
feet wide, carrying great deal OF

Preparing for an
Emergency.

The Southern Pacific company,
so it is reported from a reliable
source, is preparing to lay the old
Pro m ontory hill route with
heavy steel. 1t is said that the
company fears that the cutoff
across Salt Lake may compel it to
again resort to the old line. The
cut off of late has been giving
much trouble, and it is said that
the bankment cannot stand
many more storms like that of a
couple of weeks ago, when traffic
was delayed for twenty-four

The Nevada publicity train will
leave some time between the latter
part of November and December
and travel all through the East and
South, exhibiting the resources of
this wonderful State and distribut-
ing literature showing how great
Nevada really is. This train was
first suggested by W. j. Brewer of
Goldfield, who offered to send the
train over all the Eastern and
Southern roads as a Goldheld
boosters train, for the purpose OF
advertising Goldfeld and her
wonderful mines, but the Nevada
Publicity Commission has now
taken up the matter and it is the
intention of those planning for this
train to use it to advertise the
whole State of Nevada instead OF
only Goldfeld.
