BODY OF DEAD MAN
IDENTIFIED AS HEAP

With all of the flesh eaten from
his bones by coyotes, and nothing re-
naming but the skeleton and a few
articles of clothing, the body of a
man positively identified as Anson
Clark Heap. a member of Copper
Queen Lodge No. 799. Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, was found last Tuesday by a
party of children from Reno. who
were picnicking near the mouth of
the Truckee river.
The discovery was evidently that
of a man who had been dead for three
or four months. The officers in Reno
are of the opinion that Heap was en-
ticed to a lonely spot about three
quarters of a mile from Vista and
killed in cold blood.
Investigation of papers found on
his body left no doubt as to his iden-
tification. A letter was found among
his personal effects which he received
at Ruth. when he was in the employ
of the Nevada Consolidated as fire.
man.
The conclusion that he was muir
dered Is supposed by the fact that
his clothing revealed the fact that a
single shot had been fred into his
body from the back. The victim
evidently expired without struggle,
and judging from its location it must
have reached vital spot. The shot
went through the coat. vest and other
apparel worn by the deceased.
Heap left Ely about nine months
ago. when industrial conditions we're
completely demoralized through the
enveloping of Europe in a blood red
zone.
Since that time his relatives have
received no word from him. Warren
n. Pickett. a prominent member of
Copper Queen lodge, received letter
about FIVE weeks ago from Mrs. Heap
inQuiring If any of the local firemen
knew anything as to the present
whereabouts of her son. There are no
marks of powder burns upon the
coat and from the location of the
shot 1t would be impossible for any
person to infiict such a wound. The
only hope of solving the mystery lies
in tracing down the owner of the
purchaser of tribe rusty 38-caiibe
Smith and Wesson revolver which
was found short distance from the
right hand of the corpse.
II was intimately acquainted with
the murdered man." said Walter
Cummings. who Is employed in the
boiler shop 1t McGia. II never knew

Eureka Is on
Verge of Boom
Il. @. wHITMORE CLAIMS THAT
WITH ADVENT OF NEW CAP
ITAL CAMP WITH PRODUCTION
OF MILLIONS WILL BOOM.

That Eureka. with its tale of one
misfortune after another. is going to
cut loose with some of that Grimm
Fairy tale stuff. Is the belief of Ed
ward C. Whftmore, who has been fol-
lowing the mining game on the base
range for the last four years. Mr..
Whitmore came over from that once
noted community to attend q family
reunion, eight years having elapsed
since all the members had an oppor-
tunity to gather around the same
table.
With improved metallurgical and
ore milling devices, Mr.. Whitmore
says that the new interests, who have
acquired one of the old time proper
ties and possess unlimited capital to
carry out their plans. AS result, he
contends that the camp which thirty
years ago dominated the price of lead
throughout the world, will no longer
be isolated like desert. flower.
II. w. Catlin, who was consulting
engineer for the Richmond Consoli-
dated, one of the prolific producers
during the halcyon days of Eureka,
has returned to accept a similar po-
|sition with the mining magnates who
are attempting to bring about an era
|of hurry and hustle there.
Mr. Whitmore feels confident that
several of the early day bonanxas
will be resurrected and the thrill
lof the coming day will soon be felt.
Mr.. Catlin, who is now rs years old,
and is thoroughly acquainted with
mining conditions in that locality,
has been busy for the last three
months in the interests of the capital
lists desiring foot hold In Eureka.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Whitmore
that changing conditions justify a
rOseate hue. and he feels certain that
his home town will be hitting a gay
trot before long. Avoiding all bur-
lesque and eschewing all extraneous
comedy, Mr.. Whitmore intimates that
within brief period of time the sur
rounding mountains with their preg-
nant wealth would give up their
treasurers to enrich the owners and
bring prosperity to the community.
Eureka's career for the last twenty
years has been like watching an old
play with familiarity precluding the
possibility of surprise. and with no
prospect of variety save In the man
ner in which the actors handled their
respective parts. The result always
seemed to he a foregone conclusion.
ITO an outsider Eureka has look
cd like the finest collection of ruins.
and they were threatening to admins
ter he last sad rites" said Mr..
Whitmore. 'Since the camp was
visited by a triple calamity three
years ago. there have been frequent
shut downs which were alike dis
couraging to every one concerned.
Grief will nc longer disturb their
nights. because they have just
awakened to the fact that there is
going to be something stirring
There is nothing deceptive about this.
