Our Letter From Esmeralda. [From an Occasional Correspondent.]
Aurora, August 31st, 1863. …Health of Aurora, Etc. The health of our town has never been better than at present; but as there has been so much said outside Esmeralda in regard to the number of deaths which have taken place since the location of the town of Aurora (in the month of October, A.D., 1860) and the organization of the county of Mono in June next following, at which time there was a population of one thousand persons, I will state the inhabitants have been on the increase, until they now reach the number of about three thousand five hundred. Out of this population, during a period of thirty-five months, there have been only seventy interred in the new and old cemetery – fifty-three by natural death, and the other seventeen by the hand of violence, or otherwise. The following named persons have been shot since October, 1860, to the present time, nearly three years: Webber, Dr. Chorpening, Hughes, Burton, Gepheart, McLaughlin, BILL BRADY and Vining, making nine shot by the Indians. Sheriff Scott, in the spring of ’62, brought from other portions of the county and interred in the cemetery, as follows: From Monoville, 2; from Walker River, 3 (drowned); from Bloody Canon Trail, 2 (frozen); making a total number of 17 deaths not chargeable to Esmeralda. And, after deducting that number, it reduces the actual deaths by disease to 58, which makes an average of about one and one-half death(s) per month.
