The SUMNER MINE.-We paid a visit
to this mine yesterday at the invitation of
the owners, and give the result of our
observations. The sumner mine is To-
Gated on the hillside, to the right of
upper Main street, as you go towards the
Raymond a. Ely, about 200 yards from
the Star Restaurant. A shaft has been
sunk on the ledge, about $50 feet, show
ing throughout the entire distance we'll
defined lode, varying in size from six to
eighteen inches. All5the stratas of the
country rock lie fiat, or nearly so, while
the vein, standing nearly vertical, cuts
them squarely In two, proving beyond a
doubt that 1t is true tissure vein. In
the bottom of the shaft the men have
encountered very singular formation.
On both sides are large cavities, and in
one corner the bottom of the shaft abso-
lutely dropped out, showing regular
cavern, perhaps foot wide and not less
than ten deep. The whole place appears
to be badly brokenup, but what ore there
is is much richer than heretofore, and
there can scarcely be doubt that on
reaching more iirmer formation below,
the vein will be found solid and of pay
ing quality. We shall watch develop
ments in the Summer with much interest.
Hon. ID. L. sHLEY.-Deceased was n
native of Arkansas, if we mistake not,
and after residence in the State of
Michigan, started to California in 1919.
After serving term in the State Senate
he was in 1861 elected State Treasurer
on the Republican ticket. He came to
Nevada at an early day in the history of
the State, and ably served the people of
Nevada in Congress for four years, hav-
ing been elected twice. Some three
years ago he came to Phoebe and en-
gagged in the practice of law, and his
career at the bar here forms bright
page in local history. Owing to i'll
health he returned to California about a
year since. He was less than so years
of age, and leaves wife and three or
four children. The action of the bar of
Phoebe in regard to the death of Mr..
Ashley will be found under the District
Court head.

of vast extent, the walls of which

ore. Mr.. Sultan promptly obtained a
buggy and left for Bristol About the

the Havana mine in this camp encoun-

sually interesting.
ALMOST COLLISION. - There came
near being a collision on the Bullionville
Railroad DAY before yesterday afternoon.
An ore train was coming up from Bull
ionville and another going down. The

once, and the trains continued to APP
proach one to the other until when
finally stopped they were not over six
feet apart.

street, a lot of copper steam pipe for the

pipe is strong and durable, and its man.
