INDIAN BATTLE IN NEVADA
Hercules Gap Was The Scene OF
Sanguinary Encounter Between
Troops and Indians
From The Ely Record

When Nevada was yet q part Of Utah,
and at q time when the Shoshones and
Piutes we're a warlike race, there Indians
and a few outlawed white men made life
most precarious for the pioneers travel
ing from Salt Lake to California, the
new Ell Dorado, which was then attract
ing venturesome characters from all sec
lions Of the world. The main overland
trail from Salt Lake came through Deer
Creek, crossed Steptoe Vslley-then not
named-and on through Egan Canyon,
S~prucemont, and down the Humboldt
River.
Seldom a week or a day passed but
immigrants and mail carriers were killed
along this route. In the Fall Of 1859 a
troop OF cavalry was dispatched from the
westward to cross the State along this
trail and teach the Indians a wholesome
lesson. The troop was under command
of Colonel Steptoe, who had been onthe
frontier some time. and whose opinion
was that the only good Indians we're
dead ones. The command arrived at the
stage station at Egan Pass in the even
ing. and found that the two stock tenders
had beer killed, the station p~lundered
AMI the stock run off. Without stopping
the Colonel took up the trail and at day
break on the following morning located
the Indians at Hercules Gap, on the west
side Of the valley a few miles from the
present location OF the smelter. This gap
is a narrow canyon which cuts off the
southern point Of the mountain.
As soon as the commander was sure Of
the location OF the Indians, he divided
his troops and sent a part Of them around
the mountain to the eastern outlet OF the
pass, with orders to advance through the
pass. When the attack was made from
the eastern end OF the pass the Indians
filed to the west, only to be met by the
soldiers who occupied advantageous posi-
tons, and moved them down as they
came. The walls OF the pass were so
p~recipitous as to prevent escape, and al.
we're slaughtered with the exception Of
one who several days afterwards made
his appearance at Dave McQuiddy's
ranch, now known as Georgetown, and
asked for food. He was in a furnishing
condition, but was succored, and re-
manned on the ranch for many years
This Indian later became known rs Dave
McQuiddy and was Trustworthy and reli-
able in every respect He passed 10 the
"happy hunting ground" On a ranch in
the eastern part OF this county about q
year ago.
In all there were 80 Indians killed in
Hercules Gap. where their skulls and
skeletons can yet be found. This massa-
ere was a lesson to the Indians and from
then until the present time there has
been no serious conflict between ths
races in Eastern Nevada.
! After the battle Colonel Steptoe ant
his troop passed on through the country
until they came to Fort Mohave. where i
was stationed for some time.
In honor OF the Colonel. the broad an,
! beautiful valley, upon the edge Of which
the battle was fought. was by common
consent christened ~"Steptoe." and thur
has the name and memory Of the com.
mander been p~erpetuated.

NEVADA POLITICS WARMING UP
Closed Season Has Little Effect
On Those Who Would Select
the Contestants

The Reno correspondent Of the Sac
ramento Bee says there seems to be q
great deal of agitation in the ranks Of
the Democratic party in Nevada at
present and every effort is being made
to secure complete harmony. The Bart
lett Sweeney faction is ~endeavoring to
come to terms with the Haley Considine
faction, and it is possible that peace
will be made unless George Kilborn. the
editor Of the Journal, who wants to be
United States Senator, gets into the
middle and spells things.
James Boyd. who claimed to be the
leader Of the Democratic party in Ne
vada, seems to be out of the game. He
is at present paying more at ention to
the divorce colony of Reno than to poll.
tics.
1t will be remembered that in the
last election John Considine, a member
Of the State Democratic Central Com
mittee, overthrow Boyd and practically
put him down and out and then resign
ed as Chairman of the State Central
Committee. having Judge Petsr j..
Somers, of Goldfield, named as his sue
cessor.
Considine is q man that says very
little, but acts strenuously. At present
he is saying nothing. but the other
manipulators are up and doing. Judge
Somers arrived from Goldfeld yester-
day and met George Bartlett in Reno,
and it is now stated that Bartlett will
not be a candidate for Congress next
election, but a candidate for Governor.
How this will suit Kilborn. Senator
Newlauds, and Governor Dlckerson is
not known. but it is believed that
| Dickerson is slated for a good Office and
that Kilborn will be ignored.
The Republicans of Nevada are al.
ready talking of Supreme Judge Nor
cross as a candidate for Governor or
| Congress, but the Supreme Judge has
stated that he would just as soon be
Supreme Judge again. 1t is claimed
that James Sweeney, the Democratic
Supreme Judge. has aspirations fol
Congress. and it is possible that he viii
be a candidate for the position if Bart
lett decides that he does not want thu
Office again, Governor Dickerson, it ii
understood, is slated for the United
States Senate against Nixon. who will
be up for the Office again at the mex
election.
