The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1875-11-20

only a few miles from Ward District. in
this county, and we give the account as
we heard it. The parties engaged in the
difficulty were George w. Lamb and Will
liam Crarey, between whom there has
been bad feeling existing for some time.
1t appears that Lamb hauled some pro-
visions to the mine where Crarey was
working, and was standing at the mouth
of the tunnel talking to another man,
when Crarey came up and addressed
Lamb in a very insulting manner, and at
the same time struck at him with a sledpe
hammer. Lamb drew his knife and made
a plunge at Crarey, which would almost
have cut him in two, had no Lamb in
his haste grasped the knife with the back
of the blade towards him, which doubt
less saved the life of Crarey. A rough
and tumble scuf1e ensued, but was
promptly stopped by the bystanders.
We did not learn if either party was ar
rested.
CONTRACT LET.-When Governor Bias
del was here a few days ago, he let a con-
tract for working some of his ground on
the north extension of the Ward Beecher
mine. The Governor stated to us that
he intended to prospect that ground this
Winter, and in the Spring would put on
a force of men for active mining. There
is not a man in the district that under
stands more about Treasure Hill han
does Gov. Blasdel, and probably no one
man has spent more money there, to get
the information, hal he has. He is the
owner of a good mill here, and he hopes
to be able to set it at work early next
Spring. We are pleased to see the old
settlers coming back to their first loves !;
men who have prospected these mines,
and know that there is immense wealth
here awaiting development. and which
will. sooner or later, repay them well for
all their trouble and money expended.
The Governor is a live man in a mining
camp.
A FIGURING MILL.-While at Wells,
Fargo & Cos Office on Thursday last we
saw several sacks of wheat, which were
directed to Kemler's mill at Winnemucca.
Upon inquiry, We learned that the sacks
contained samples of wheat which had
been grown in different parts of White
Pine county. and were to be made into
flour, and should the flour prove to be of
good quality, a Touring mill will be erect
ed in Hamilton. The want Of a good
mill in this county has been long and
seriously felt by our ranch men, and has
kept many of them. who have the soil
adapted to raising wheat, from doing so,
on account of this necessary adjunct.
We are informed thatthere isone rancher
on White River who could almost raise
wheat enough to keep an ordinary mill
running. A mill located at this place
would have a fine market for all the -four
it could make beside the demand for it
in this county, it would find ready sale
at Eureka, provided the -four was A No. l.
ANOTHER MINE LEAsED.-Articles of
agreement were entered into on Thurs
day last between four miners and r. Sad
Ter & Co., for a six months lease of the
Elko mine, with the privilege of extend
ing the lease to twelve months. This is
OF the largest and best paying base
metal mines in the district, and has q
large amount of ore ready to take out.
The property is located on the west side
of Treasure Hill, and adjoins the Erie,
which is another good mine, and is al
present lying idle. We would advise
some of our enterprising miners to lease
the Erie, for they could not help making
money out of it this Winter.
RACEs.-Bob Lanter was in town a few
days ago, and informed us that every
preparation has been made for the forth.
coming races at Ellison's course on White
River, next Friday. The horses and
track are in the best condition, and if the
storm does not interfere. there will be
some good racing. This will be a good
chance for our Hamilton horsemen to gel
even on the Duck Creek races.
The BALL.-According to programme
this affair came off last Tuesday night
On account of the bad weather which
prevailed at the time a number of persons
were kept away, who otherwise would
have attended. However, those who die
attend had a very agreeable time, an6
hope the committee will have another
soon.
PETE LOWELL, the great telegraph line
builder and repairer, was in town OF
Wednesday last. He has gone on a re-
pairing trip to Salt Lake City. The
present storm can tear down lines much
faster than Pete can repair them.
EpIzooTrC. We learn that all the
horses in this vicinity have pretty much
