Convicted of Murder.

Harvey was convicted of the muir
der of Peter Bromo, a negro, last
March. His case was appealed to the
supreme court. which sustained the
lower court, and the friends and at
torneys of the man then appealed to
Governor Vardaman for executive
clemency.
Harvey was sentenced to hang De-
cember 4, 1906, but the governor
granted a respite of 80 days, pend
ing an investigation of the case. Moth
ing had BEN done to secure a com
mutation of sentence until yesterday
morning, when w. E. Mollison. a
negro lawyer, who had the case in
charge, and d. w. Cary took the mat
ter up with the governor by long
distance telephone.
Delays TO Last Minute.
The hour for the execution was
set for some time between II and 8
o'clock this afternoon. The sheriff
delayed the execution until the last
minute, but there was some delay in
getting the governors message.
When Cary had talked with him
for some time the governor agreed
to commute the sentence of Harvey
to life Imprisonment. The next turn
of the wheel was to catch the sheriff
before the execution took place. Here
again was delay, and the governor
could not get in communication with
the sheriff until 3.03 O'Clock. When
he did so it was to learn that Har-
vey had been hanged three minutes
before.

IMPORTANT PLANS

British Colonial Conference
Marks Epoch In Modern
Development

LONDON. April 15.-After a laps
of five years since the first conference
of it's kind was held, the British Co..
onial Conference. made up Of the pre-
miers and other representatives of
England and her governing col

mutual interest to the component parts
of the empire.
The conference was opened at the
Colonial office with Sir Henry Camp
bell Zimmerman, as prime minister,
occupying the chair. Neither the press
nor public is to be admitted to the
sessions, though 1t is not intended that
the proceedings shall be kept secret.

month. After its close an account
of the proceedings will be issued in the
form of blue book.

Such is the nature of the hill side into
which General superintendent John Slim
mel has cut an incline to a depth of near
~ 100 feet At this point he has begun ia
cross-cut along the ledge which has now
been followed a distance of about twenty
five feet. Small gold assays have been
obtainable throughout the entire length
of the incline and are still obtainable in
the crosS-cut. but yet there are no IN
dications of any increase in values.
The ledge system is believed to be iden-
teal with that of the Sunnyside and il Will
be thoroughly prospected at the present
level. In the event that satisfactory re
suits are not obtainable here the values

OPERATIONS AT THE
WHEELER GOLD MINES

Since Fred Elindt assumed the manage
ment of the Wheeler Gold Mines COM
panys property. development progresses
with more vim than has heretofore char
acterlzed operations on the property, says
the Yerington Times.
Mr.. Flindt made the remark at the time
of taking hold of affairs there. that he
would make payer of the mine. The
manner in which he has started seems
TO preclude the possibility of failure on
his part.
There are immense bodies of milling
grade ore. already blocked out, which
make splendid foundation for the full
fillment of his promise.
While the mill on the ground is but a
baby affair for the quick treatment of the
ore bodies, il viii be worked to its ca
pacity day and night. Heretofore, but one
shift has been employed in the operation
of the five-stamp affair. 1t is now the
hours each. stopping only in case of a
breakdown or to make necessary re-
pairs.
The power line has not yet been ex-
tended to the Wheeler property, but Mr.
Flindt is not enc to allow obstacles OF
such a trifling nature to stand in the way
of opening uP such a splendid estate This
week he purchased from the Commercial
hotel its gasoline lighting plant, which
was used in the hosiery before the adj
vent of electricity. This plant will be
used to furnish light to the mill so that
it will be allowed TO run curing the night
hours
Mr. FIiudt states that he intends to
thoroughly prospect large surface vein
which has been passed up all this time
Several assays taken al various distances
on the ore body prove il TO be one well
worthy of considerable attention.

ANOTHER GOLD STRIKE
NEAR G0LC0NDA, NEW.

Near the town of GOlconda, New. where
there is considerable mining activity go
ing on, some new and important strikes
OF gold ore have been made during the
past few weeks. On the low hills near the
railroad track. only 100 yards from the
town, a ledge carrying free gold is being
developed that gives promise of being as
rich as the famous Kramer claim on Lone
Mountain.
The property where this last strike was
ma de is owned by Joe Bayant, ii. Roster

ROUND MOUNTAIN
COMBINATION Is RICH

On Thursday "a small pile nG ore amount
ing to about fifteen tons which was taken
out of the Wilson quartz lease, was run
through dry wash machines for the want
OF a custom mill handy. and l5S ounces OF
gold taken out. says the Round Mountain
Nugget lndsmUch as none of the coarser
rock and dirt could be put through the
machines il is figured that only about ~
per- cent of the values were extracted.
This would make the value of the ore
being taken out of this lease somewhat
better than 800 to the ton.
The foregoing Is merely an example OF
the richness of the ground which is own
ed by the Round Mountain Combination
Mining company OH whose acreage the
Wilson quartz lease is located.
The White Horse fraction. on which the
combination company has given 4 placer
lease to the Hydraulic company. covers
less than five acres Of ground. This was
originally sold by the locator for 500 and
in turn sold TO the Combination people
for $500. II is estimated bv the Hydraulic
company that they will take in the neigh
