stockholders of the Honest Endeavor,
was here last week and inspected the
mine. He was we'll pleased with the
outlook and returned to Denver to ar
range to proceed with the work.
The indications for railroad for Yer
ington very soon are frst-class. Con-
tractor Reed has about rs mules here
ready to begin grading as soon as the
contract is agreed upon. There seems
TO be no doubt about the road coming
very soon.
The Union Blue Copper CO., whose
mine is between here and Buckskin.
have started work and at depth of 80
feet struck calcite and gossan. Some
sample pieces of ore taken out run 49
per cent copper. They expect to sink
to the 70-foot level and crosscut.
The trip of Miss Josephine Becker,
Miss Edna McNeeley and Mestames
Andy and AL Marsal on their musical
tour was decided success. They made
the trip in an auto driven by F. w. Vog-
ler, and visited Virginia City, Dayton
and Gardnerville. They reported, on
their return the first OF the week,
pleasant voyage in their auto and good
houses at their entertainments.
F. o. Stickney, E. l.. Vaughn and
VIM. Richards sold gold property in
Mason Pass to New Jersey people for
$4,000 and other consideration. The
purchasers will start at once to sink a
shaft, letting contract for 100 feet to
start with. This is a good start and
there is no doubt that there will soon be,
another producing mine in the Yering
ton district.
The Nye County Commissioners are
charged with refusing to print the list of
the registered voters. Such course
deprives the voters of their rights. The
law provides for the printing of the list
to allow men who are illegally regis
tered to be challenged. 1t looks like a
political jobw any county refuses to
publish list of its registered voters.
This is the same county however whose
county clerk is charged with sending
away for all county. supplies. Carson
Appeal.
An informal committee consisting OF
Byron Knierim. John Snyder and H.
Pilkington has secured some $500 for
completing the approaches to the new
bridge at the north end of town.
Thursday Messrs. Gorssline and son
took a contract to erect the fence and
at the time of going to press have the
first quarter mile complete. Messrs.
Huston, Chief, and Chas. Nelson and
Geo. Sinclair, assistants, have staked out
the lines of fence on either side of the
road The road is now open for light
travel and soon will be thoroughfare for
everything that will save one mile each
way on the Wabuska trip. John Snyder,
treasurer, will receive donations for the
enterprise. Byron Knierim is the prac-
tical constructionist, and H. Pilkington
does the heavy looking on.
Chief of Police Slingerland went to
Schurz Thursday and returned with
Frank White, an Indian, charged with a
great crime against school girl in a
school in the country near here. The
crime is alleged to have been committed
on the 14th inst. The assailant hid in a
clump of willows and waited until the
girl came by in going home from school.
He then seized her and dragged her into
the brush. After leaving her, he fled,
and has been fugitive since. AS soon
as Chief Slingerland returned from San
Francisco he continued the search for the
wretch, finally locating the present pris-
oner and then going to Schurz and get
ting him. There seems TO be no doubt
of the mans guilt and he talked very
freely to his captor, seeming to feel that
the act was not so very bad. If con-
victed, no leniency should be shown in
this case.
