TO HOLDUP
ANOTHER CRIMINAL Is
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
Fred johnson, Convicted Highwayman,
Sentenced to a Term in the State
Penitentiary

This morning in the district court
Fred johnson, who was convicted Tues
day Of being an accomplice in the rob
berry of a man named Miller at Love
lock last April was sentenced to IA
years In the state prison.
This was the second trial of John
son on this charge, the first charge re-
sulting in the conviction of George
James, his pal, in the crime, who turn
ed states evidence, and by a fabrica-
ton sought to absolve johnson of all
connection of the crime. The story of
James was gotten up in a skillful man
ner, and It impressed the jury to such
an extent that they could not agree on
the question of the formers guilt.
James, however, was convicted will
little delay, and later sentenced by
Judge Pike to the state prison.
At the second trial of Johnson James
was brought back from the state pris-
on and repeated his story, again alb
solving Johnson of all completely in
the crime. johnson in confederation
again swore that he was on his way to
his home In the East when arrested,
and that ne had always gone by the
name Of Johnson, and that he never
before had been engaged in or con-
victed o. any criminal actions.
The district attorney was prepared
for this evidence and in refuting it
placed on the stand Sheriff Sherer of
Colusa county, California. The sherin
positively identified johnson as hav-
ing been sent up from Colusa county
for burglary under the name of Frank
Ttewart, and exhibited the necessary
documents and a picture of Johnson
in support of his testimony.
Attorney M. s. Bonniield, who had
been appoint ed by the court to defend
James, did not make any argument for
his client. 81 have too much respect
for court and jury to stand and argue
this question. l can only say that
believe every word of the California
sheriff to be true.

been there for some time past in com
mercial pursuits and reports the camp
to be progressing far beyond the ex-
pectations of the original promoter.
OF course at the present time business
is somewhat at a standstill, but all the
mininm properties are looking up
fine. There being some 20 different
claims in the district from which as
says reaching into the thousands have
been returned. New discoveries are
constantly beoing made and all the
prospectors in the vicinity are greatly
encouraged by the conditions surround
the properties in general. This camp
is one that, wit the opportunities of
previous years when other southern
camps were discovered Rawhide would
have advanced far beyond hat of Fair
view and Wonder, as the stuff is there.
This camp was discovered in the early
part of last year and at the time Of
the present financial stringency was
to the front. At present the
is about 1900 and is rap
growing.

CHRISTMAS DON'TS

Don't try to pay debts or return OBJ
legations with your Christmas giving.
Don't give trashy things. Many an
Christmas things.
Don't make presents which your
friends will not know what to do with.
and which would merely cucumber the
home.
Don't give because others expect
you to. Give because you love to II
you cannot send your heart with the
gift, keep the gift.
Don't give too bulky articles TO
people who live in small quarters, un-
less you know that thhey need the par.
ticular things you send them.
Don't wait until the last minute 10
buy your presents, and then for lack Of
of time to make proper selections.
give what your judgment condemns.
Don't decide to abstain from giving
just because you cannot afford ex-
pensive presents. The thoughtfulness
of your gift, the interest you take in
those to whom you give, are the prin-
cipal things. The intrinsic value of
your gifts counts very little.
ION I give Things because they are
cheap and make a big show for the
money. AS a rule il is a dangerous
thing to pick up a lot of all sorts of
things at bargain counters for
Christmas presents. IF you do, there
is always the temptation to make in
appropriate gifts. Besides, there is
usually some defect in bargain articles.
or they are out of style, out Of date, or
there is some other reason why they
are sold under price.

The news from this camp has been
rather scarce of late, but by the latest
which was received on Wednesday we
believe that the only reason for the
same is that the people have something
up their sleeves by which they intend
to give a surprise to the surrounding
country and Winnemucca in particular.
While engaged in doing assessment
work on claims several prospectors re-
port the discovery Of numerous blind
lodges from which good assay returns
have been received. The Brown Pal
ace ~leasers, Bard and Mum, report
that they are now in the foot wall
Of the ledge from which the original
fabulous ore was taken ten months
ago. They expect to tap the same in
a few days. The White Alps lease, on
which they are working continues to
give good returns, and in a short time
the carload to be shipped from Hum
boldt will be completed, as a large
quantity of ore already lacked is now
on the dump. From the district north
of the Sulphur road the recent dis
covery on the Durango Girl by j. X.
Mum is proving greater than first ex-
pected, and we will probably be able
to report a shipment from there in the
near future.
The Big Six group is showing up
fine and the contractors are develop
ing the property to such an extent
that it is expected the company will
put a large force of men to work as
soon as the holidays are over.
The Golden Triangle is at present
shut down, but indications point to
the early resumption of work in the
spring, as this is one Of the best in the
county, judging by all reports Of min
ing experts.
The Brown Palace Co., as well as
the operators on the Golden Anchor and
Rather mines, are putting men to
work as development continues, but
this does not encourage the influx of
men into the camp, as the weather and
financial conditions do not warraat it.
The Springfield leasers are constant
ly doing work and expect to make a
shipment of picture ore taken from
there in the beginning of the new year.
j. G. Duryea, the superintendent of
the Sunrise mine at Sawtooth, returned
from Denver, where he has been on
business connected with the property.
holidays at which time the extensive
work carried on at SaMtooth by his
company will again be started, and
shipping will probably be commenced
from this property.

A number of miners employed by the
Inlay Mining company at the Morrison
mine in the Humboldt range, came to
Winnemucca to spend the holidays,
among the number being George Fren-
dell, who showed to our representative
a specimen taken from that mine. The
gold was plainly seen in the quartz
and he was led to belive a large body
of the same character of ore had been
found. Extensive work has been done
on this ground and picture rock is OF

WILL SPEND THE
WINTER IN CALIFORNIA;

j R. Harvey Of Paradise Valley ar.
rived yesterday and will depart this
evening for California, where he will
spend the winter. For a number of
years Mr.. Harvey has been spending
the winter months in California.
In our perusal of back issues for this
edition we found the following, under
date of January 18th, 1889:
y. r. Harvey of Paradise Valley is
spending the winter at Red Bluff, Cal,
and the Peoples Cause has the follow
ing mention of him:
There was great excitement over a
game of freeze-out at Thurresson' 3
last night. There were two champion
players in the game, j.. r. Harvey of
Nevada and J. G. Turner. After the
game had progressed awhile Harvey
raised Turner all the white chips he
had, and Turner called. Turner then
up four aces, but Harvey eoun.
tered with a hand of five aces. They
both took turns at treating the crowd"
