CARSON CITY, Aug. 6-The Off
GERS of Wellington are putting for h
every effort to find George Smart,
who is believed to re the murdf rer Of
the unknown man who was killed in
Wellington some time ago The off
GERS have secured very damaging evil

While searching his room at Wei

worn by him was found, together with
other clothing he is known to have
worn the night the murder was com

with mud, which would indicate 1. at
after Smart struck his victim with a

dirt with him.
Smart was a blacksmith helper in
Wellington and left Wellington on
horseback the night that the murder
was committed. 1t is thought that he

him to be a prospector with whom he
had quarreled.

v. Trains in September

From the Reno Gazette.
September ], 1908, is the date ne'v
set by Western Pacific officials for
the completion of the new trunk line
between Salt Lake City and San
Francisco. A prominent official of .he
road has stat d that all Of the tunnels
will be completed within ten months,
and that the Gould lines will have q
through route to the coast within ID
months. Work is now progressing at
all points in California and Nevada.
The most difficult task which the
Western Pacific has to perform is to
burrow through four mountains,
which necessitates the building of
four one nile tunnels. Some ESQ men
are now scattered along the ea9
miles right of way engaged in the
work of tunneling and every week a
carload of high explosives is being
consumed in its process. In addition
to four long tunnels there are a mum
Der Of short ones to be made, which
aggregate a length of another mile.
Boring Through Solid Granite.
Many difficulties have been met at
the Spring Garden tunnel, near GUN
ey, Plumas county, but the work is
going on rapidly. The tunnel is near
the north and middle forks of the
Feather river and in a mixture of vol
canic rock a number of water veins
have been struck. At the Niles tun-
mel, which is going through the hill
500 feet below the summit, only
shale and sandstone are encountered
and the work is easy. At the Beck
with tunnel, through the Sierra, Dor
ings are being made through so id
granite at a point 800 feet below the
lowest part of the low saddle, at an
elevation of 5,01s feet. Over in the
Pequot range, in the northeastern
part of Nevada, fiinty limestone is
found. The tunnel is going through
one of the north and south ridges at
a point 5000 feet above sea level
and 500 feet below the summit
Thousands Working.
In addition to the tunnel work. sew
eral thousand men are scattered along
the right of way, throwing up grades,
building bridges, laying rails and do
ing the thousand and one other things
necessary.
Work is progressing rapidly in this
vicinity, especially between Sacramen-
to and Stockton, where tracklaying
is going forward rapidly on the grade
which was completed some mo, s
ago. Activity continues on the Amer
lean river bridge and grading to the
north is being pushed. 1t is expected
that before long other sections of the
line will be opened to traffic in addi-
tion to the 200 miles now in operation

ELY, New, Aug. 6--Jack GaEaid,
a Pullman conductor working on the
Nevada Northern, was held up in his
city early Sunday morning by two
men and shot through thc right leg.
The bone of the leg was shatter' Il ard

lard returned the fire and wounded
one of the holdup men, but nor SIT

cape.
Gallard had left the station and was
walking toward his car when the two
jumped from behind "a freight car
and told him to hold up ais hands.
Gallard had more than 1900 on his
person, and instead of holding up his
hands he pulled his revoive- and he
gan to shoot. The highwayrnen re-
turned the fire and Gallarl was shot
through the leg.
The men then ran aud disappeared
in some brush by the side of the
track. The shooting aroused several
men at the depot, who rushed to the
scene and carried Gatlard to the de-
pot. They then began searching for
the men but were unable to fad them.
The men have been foil,wel into the
hills and it is though they will be
captured.

A SALT LAKE VIEW
OF SEVEN

"A ICtCHk icouc VI tnc odlt Idht
Inter Mountain contained the follow

Seven Troughs district, under the
heading, "Seven Troughs, where the
Greatest Mining Excitement of Re
cent Times is Predicted:o
No mining camp in all Nevada is
attracting more attention these days
than is Seven Troughs. The labor
strike only recently settled caused a
hull in activity just at a time when
the district was apparently on the eve
of springing new sensations.
For some time the companies own
ing the best developed properties in
the district have been, pending the
anticiuated strike and the final set
Element of the labor trouble, holding
back information concerning the rich
os which the mines contained. Per
sons on the inside are anticipating
shipments of ore in the next few
weeks that will make new records in
fabulous values.
Arrangements of the companies have
not given out anything of this kind
for the purpose of stimulating the
boom. They have, in fact, made every
effort to keep their plans from the
public, and when shipments are made
it will be done as Quietly as p -ssible.
But formation of the riches of tn
leading Seven Troughs mines has
leaked out from sources the rel abb
ity of which cannot be questioned.
Some of the most conservative min
ing men of Utah, after visiting those
properties with prejudices to over
come, have left the camp convinced
that they would startle the world
with their richness.
The Seven Troughs Mining company
has opened its big ledge several hun
dred feet in the sulphide ore zone
and wherever the vein has been open
cd it is accompanied by a streak Of
the rich stuff from a few inches to a
foot wide, the regularity of the val
ues being a great surprise to all min
ing men who have sampled it. The
Mazuma Hills is said to be ever rich
er than the Seven Troughs. although
it has not been explored to so great a
depth.
A feature which adds to the inter
est in the district is the large extent
of the territory in which the rich dis.
%coveries have been made. They are
not confined to a small portion of the
district, as is the case in some of the
high-grade camps. The Mazuma
Hills mine is in Seven Iroughs
canyon, on the north side of the dis
trict. The Seven Troughs is on the
west side of the district and about
midway between Mazuma and the
town of Vernon on the southern end
of the district. The Buckhorn, in
which one of the big strikes has been
made, adjoins the Vernon townsite,
while the Silver Peak is at the north
west extremity of the original dis
trict. Good strikes have been made at
various intermediary and outlyirg
points, for the district is a perfect net
work of veins and cross assures, usual
ly hidden by a few rect of "wash,''
and it appears necessary only to
strike one of these veins to open pay
rock in any of the mineralized zone.
Under such conditions mining ex-
element is more or less justified, and
it is the belief or mining men that
when production shall be once begun
in the Seven Troughs district the ex-
element thus ar known will he tame.

BROWN PALACE OF

From the Rosebud Mining News.

From the Rosebud Mining News.
The Brown Palace is still DIR viz &
ahead with its two tunnels, and if
anything surprising has been encoun-
tered the outside world has not been
made acquainted with the fact. No.
l tunnel is now in about 1874 feet and
No. 3 is probably 215 feet from the
portal. The shaft on the 20-foot vein
is daily gaining depth and the rich
ore being taken from it is being sort
ed and sacked, ready for the smell er.
Stacking still continues from the rich
cropping, about 200 feet east Of this
shaft, and there still seems to lie pl,n-
ty of the valuable mineral.
Since the Brown Palace has com
menced to sack ore for shipment the
camp has taken on new life and many
of the companies and individual mine
owners have resumed work on their
claims with renewed vigor.

The Dreamland's upper SHAFT has

No Money for Sanitarlum.

1t will require a friendly suit in the
state supreme court to create main.
tenance fund for the state consump

act authorizing the establishment OF
the sanitarium makes 1t the duty Of
the state treasurer to collect the
money from the counties having pa
tiuents in the institution, but failed
to designate the fund into which the
money should go. In the absence OF
Legislative provision, J. f. Gmelich
state treasurer, holds that the money
must go into the general revenue fund
of the state. 1t will require an or
Ger from the supreme court creating a
maintenance fund for the institution
and directing the state treasurer to
place the money collected for the
care Of patients in that fund, and w.
H. Gdpton Of Montgomery City, prosi.
dent Of the board of managers of the
institution, is arranging for n
suit by mandamus against Mr..
Gmelich to have the funds placed to
the credit Of the sanitarium. The suit
will be filed and argued early in the
October term of the supreme court,
that n decision may be had without
