NEVADA DEMOCRAT JANUARY 4 & 11, 1860 3
we learn that they design putting in three fire plugs, and will test the efficiency of the works on Saturday
or Monday next. The pipes, as far down as the Methodist church, are nine inches in diameter, and the
reservoir is at a sufficient elevation to raise the water to the top of the church steeple. Below the church
the pipes will be six inches in diameter.
BIG LUMP.—Last week a lump of gold and quartz was found in the claims of Green & Co., at
Remington Hill, in this county, weighing 214 ounces. It was brought to Nevada, on Friday, and melted by
Mr. J. J. Ott, assayer, and netted a fraction over 108 ounces of gold, worth $19 90 per ounce—the total
value $2,154 17. The lump was originally a boulder in the shape of an egg, but broken in two, and only
one-half was found—the broken side having been worn smooth. The company expect, in a few days, to
find the other half of the boulder.

THE GLOBE RANCH TRAGEDY.—The account published in our last issue, taken from the Grass
Valley National, in regard to the tragedy near Globe Ranch, was incorrect in some important particulars.
The name of the man killed was Carpenter, instead of James Tooley. It appears that some goods had been
stolen from two teamsters that stopped over night at the Globe Ranch. The goods were discovered the
next morning concealed in some bushes, when a watch was set to catch the thieves. An Indian was shortly
seen approaching the spot, and on being taken prisoner confessed that himself and two others had
committed the theft. On further search another Indian was found concealed under some brush, and while
he was being drawn from his hiding place, a gun in the hands of one of the party was accidentally
discharged, the ball taking effect in Carpenter’s groin, killing him almost instantly. No information has
been received as to what was done with the Indians, but the supposition is that they were tried and
punished by Judge Lynch.
DITCH PROPERTY SALE.—We learn that Mr. Bates, the President and acting agent of the Truckee
Lake Co., has purchased, in behalf of his company, $300,000 worth of stock of the Eureka Lake Co. The
payments are to be made by June next, in time to meet the liabilities of the latter company. The total
amount of stock in the Eureka company, is $750,000; and the company still retains $450,000 of this
amount.
