MILL
WILL START SOON

Large punches of men have been
coming down from Jefferson where
they have been employed in the con-
struction of the big mill, which is
about completed. All the surface
work around the mil is finished up,
which is the cause of so many men
being laid off who were employed in
the construction. AS soon as some
changes can be made in the mine ar
rangements, ore will be started into
the big mill and the returns from the
same will soon be on the backward
trail which will probably be very
gratifying news to those promoters
who have been so diligently working
on this huge project for so long.
Aside from a little touching up here
and there in the mill, there seems to
be very little left to start it up.
Thomas Archer, who has been on the
job as mill wright left Thursday
having completed his part of the big
job. With the opening and starting
of the mill large numbers of men

CELEBRATION.

VIRGINIA CITY, May 24.-The
only living member of the party that
discovered the Comstock lode,
Nanny" Penrod, has written from
Gold Creek, Elko county, that he will
be in attendance at the celebration
of the fiftieth anniversary of the
finding of the famous lode His let

Editor Enterprise-Dear Sir: AS
am almost out of civilization and
don't often see paper, being
twelve miles from the nearest post

that there will be a celebration of the
discovery and workings of Virginia
City, and as ! was one of the four
who first found the lode and named
it the Comstock, if it is possible,
will be there, as l am, believe, the
only one living of the four discover

as NANNY" Penrod. l am now past
80 years of age, but the discovery of
that famous lode is as vivid as if it
was only yesterday.

The executive committee will send
the old gentleman an invitation and
if he comes will be given a prominent
place in the parade.
Mr.. Penrod arrived in Nevada
from Illinois in 1852 and while en-
route to California stopped and min
ed for month in Gold canyon. He
again tried his luck in 1853 and re-
manned until June, 1854, when he re-
turned to Nevada in 1856 with his
family and has since resided in this
state, following in summer the oc-
cupation of farming and that of min.
ing in winter.
Mr.. Penrod was in Gold Hill wher
Riley and Mclaughlin found a good
prospect of gold at what is now the
Ophir mine. Owing to prospective
trouble over the discovery Riley ant

ROBBED, MURDERED
and ABANDONED

On Saturday last an Austrian
walking from Blair to Goldfield
found the body of well dressed
man lying face down near the edge
of the salt marsh His pockets had
been turned inside out, showing rob-
berry had been committed and then
the man murdered. Deputy Sheriff
NJ. J. Catalan of Goldfield, who visit
ed the gruesome find, says:
Upon investigation | discovered
that every pocket in his vest, coat
and trousers had been turned inside
out, and that there was not single
line of any kind of writing which
would give us any inkling as to his
identity, and the only thing aside
from the gauntlets was tooth brush
which We found alongside the body
He was lying face down and the salt
had accumulated about his head to
such an extent as TO render anything
like recognition out Of the question.
Over his vest he wore a heavy blue
sweater. which had been ripped from
the belt to the collar button. and the
fact that the back Of his head was
completely Invested Of hair. makes
Il appear certain that the man has
been dead several months--two OF
three az least
The spot where the body wa'
found Is an aat.ot-the-way place

. GIVEN A LIGHT SENTENCE.
Thomas E. Anderson Goes to Jail for
Six Months for NIaltreating Girl.

Thomas E. Anderson. an Oakland
farm hand who has been in jail about
four months awaiting trial in district
court on the charge of assaulting his
stepdaughter VERNE Nelson, got tired
of waiting, and entered plea of guilty.
Anderson was tried for the crime in
the September term of court, and made
the defense that his wife was trying to
get rid of him by bringing the charge,
which would send him to the peniten-
tiary. The evidence against him was
rather weak and the jury, disagreed
Another feature of the defense which
assisted in hanging the jury, was the
testimony of Anderson that an Oakland
preacher was thick with his wife. If
ne had not entered plea of guilty last
night, he might have been convicted,
but a number of people would have be-
heved him innocent of mistreating the
half-witted girl
tween the county attorney and the at
torney for Anderson. by which he
should receive the minimum sentence if
he would plead guilty His sentence is
six months in the county Jail
The alleged crime was committed
about a year ago and shortly there
after Anderson left home. He was gone
several months before his wife filed the
complaint, and Sheriff Wilkerson ar
rested him in the western part of the
state during the harvest season. Be
fore he left this country, he was EN-
ployed as a farm hand on a truck farm
in Oakland.

RAINED HOT SHOT.
Remarkable Phenomenon Reported
From Santa Cruz, Cal.

Santa Cruz. Jan. "A remarkable
phenomenon that has caused wonder
and CONSERVATION in the neighborhood
of the Santa Cruz beach was reported
by Mrs. w H. Burns of 240 Riverside
avenue, this city and when investi-
gated her story was fully corroborated
by residents of the neighborhood Mrs.
Burns's curiosity was aroused by the
peculiar antics of a number of bare
foot children who were playing in front
of her house. When she asked them
what was the matter, they told her that
the air was full of electricity and that
hot shots were falling from the clouds
She then noticed a clatter on the house
top that sounded like hail. and looking
in the direction of the grandstand of
the Casino ball grounds, she saw little
white threads of smoke rising from the
roof wherever these little red hot metal
glObules struck the damp boards. Every
roof in the vicinity showed the same
peculiar condition.
This molten rain continued from
about to 4 o'clock in the afternoon
and varied in intensity At the time,
however, the children who We're bare
headed and unshod were compelled to
take to cover. One boy carries a burn
on his finger as the result of being
struck by one of these hot pellets One
theory to account for the phenomenon
is that the molten rain was due to
passing meteor that had been disinte-
grated.
Mrs. Burns has saved a few of the
little pellets. They are about the size
of No. shot and resemble lead.
