Tha Manhattan Dexter Mining

The murder was discovered by

the morning of June 16, he first
found the body of Nelson, lying
across the threshold Of the saloon,
The remains of Stilwell were found
about 80 feet away, stretched out
on the ground, under the tailboard
Of a wagon. Nelson's pocketbook
was missing as was a large sum of
money he was known to possess.
His watch was also gone, but the
guard ring was found on the floor,
The till contained SIS. The remains
Of Stilwell were only partially
dressed. The murdered man had
donned his trousers and shoes. The
%supenders were hanging and the
shirt had not been tucked down in
the trousers. It was evident that
Stilwell, who slept with Nelson in
q tent in the rear of the saloon, had
been arosued by the fight and. has
thy coming to the assistance Of his
partner, arrived in time to see the
death wounds inflicted. 1t is sur
missed that the M%exicans then at

escape by fight.
George w. Railton, the station
agent, was called on the morning
Of the 10th Of June by Sauter, anf
together the two men searched tht
premises. Mr.. Railton generally
cashed the pay check for the rail
road l~aborers. and stated that OF
the previous day he had easheC

orally it had been the custom t.
have Nelson cash a few of the pa,

sufficient funds. On this occasion
however, he was well supplied witt

as within a short distance
from where the float was first found
erosion had left the ore shoot in
plain view at the top of the ground,
with huge boulders of the metal
weighing as high as 800 and 400
pounds scattered over the surface.
The deposit is a contact vein be-
tween lime and porphyry, the min
e%ralization being due, doubtless, to
the intrusive dykes of p~orphyry
which cut the lime formation with a
northerly and soutnerly strike. Oe-
curing parallel with the porphyry
is also an enormous conglomerate
which gives additional evidence of
strong eruptive action. The matrix
of the ore is a heavy spar, form
ing three distinct and we'll defined
lodges which can be traced by their
strong outcrop for more than a
mile.
The number and extent of the ore
shoots canno as yet be determined
On account of the limited explora-
ton, but Judging from the number
of places along the course of the
lodges where metallic specimens OF
the ore are distributed, there is
good reason for believing that the
enriched portions Of the ledge will
prove to be extensive.

MAY START DIVORCE
COLONY IN TONoPAH

Reno's divorce colony will soon
have another member, according to
private advices received in Tonopah
Yesterday by a well known local
lawyer. The new addition to the
assembly of broken hearts will be
in the person of E. NJ. Meyer, vice
president of the Meyer Brothers
company, a large wholesale liquor
house of Cincinnati.
Some few months ago Mr.. Meyers
and his wife decided that a separa-
ton was necessary and it was by a
mutual agreement that Mrs. Meyers
took her departure for Europe,
where she is at present travelling.
Mr.. Meyers will give as grounds for
the severance of the matrimonial
bonds, desertion, and cite the fact
that his better half is now hobnob-
bling with the nobility of the old
country.
Mr.. Meyers is the champion ten
mis- player of Cincinnati, although
he spends most of his time in New
York, where he cuts quite a figure
in society. He is reputed to be
worth anywhere between eve ant
eight millions.
1t is possible that the parties
who are anxious to start a divorce
colony in Tonopah, will send
couple of ENJOYS to Reno to Goa,
Mr.. Meyers to take up his legal resi-
dence in this city.

countered a coyote before he had
proceeded far in quest of game and
started to run the animal down.

streak was first encountered, it was
about 16 inches across, but from the
observations Of Mr.. Meyers, the
shoot is now about four feet acros

$500 to $1,000 to the ton.
Billy Douglass and Tom Kendall,
who are interested in the lease, re-
