$4,000 FOR GENERAL
pOSTOfFICE IN this CITY

Through the work of Postmaster j
A. Rogers of Winnemucca, and United
States Senator Nixon, the postoffice
department at Washington has taken
up the matter of the erection of a
postoffice building in the town of Win
nemucca to be used for the housing
ernment institutions located at Winnie
nemueca, including the United States
weather bureau, with the result that
at the next session of Congress, bill
will probably be introduced for an ap-
preparation of $25,00O.00 for the cree
tion of the building.
1t is not the policy of the govern
ment in building postoffices to pay
very much for the lot on which the
building is located and the main draw
back in Winnemucca will probably be
the high price asked by the real es-
cation.
Postmaster Rogers has been busy
for the past two weeks gathering in
formation on the subject, concerning
the cost of suitable lot. it's location
and the room required for the post
office department The data has leer
forwarded te the department at WASH
ington and Postmaster Rogers is row
considering the advisability of circn-
lating among the eitizers Of the town
petition for location favorable to
all interests.

now on the dumps about thirty tons
Of ore, which makes an assay of $l25
to the ton. My particular business
in town this trip is to secure sacks
and within thirty days we will make
shipment either to Salt Lake or Sci

rates we are able to securt.
'The new camp is growing some
Two weeks ago there was no one there
but at present there are about twenty
five men in the camp. We have no
business houses as yet, but there is a
lodging house in course of construc-
tion, and we shall have postoffiee in
about sixty days. Before the summer
is over we look to have a tlourishing
town, with all the concomitants of the
typical mining camp. All our ore ship
ments will be made from Winnemue-
ca.'

nine, taken for the purpose of stiml-
lating the action of his heart.
The body was brought to town ear
ly Yesterday morning and turned over
to Undertaken Cochran. Coroner Rob
ins was notified and impanneled jury
and held held an inquest yesterday
afternoon at his office in the court
house. After listening to the evidence

turning to the house about eight
O'Clock, some ten minutes after his
parents had retired for the night
Hearing a noise as of chair tipping,
his mother got up and found him IN
a spasm. Upon being asked what was
the matter with him he replied that
it was the stryehnine that he hal
taken for the pain in his heart, and
asked his mother to get him an emetic.
As soon as possible his mother procur-
ed mustard and warm water, fresh
eggs, melted lard and powdered char
coal. but they failed to produce the
desired naueea, and he expired in the
greatest agony just as the clock was
striking ten.
After hearing the testimony the jury
retired. and in short time returned
the following verdict:
"In the matter of the inquisition
upon the body of Thomas ODonnell,
before G. f. Robins, coroner of the
county of Humboldt, state of Nevada;

cording to law, and having made such
