LOCK WOODS CARD.
That "Outrn geons SwindIe'' Thor
omghly Exploded.

In the Eureka Sentinel of the 4th
instant Lockwood comes TO the front
again with a lengthy statement under
oath concerning his alleged bad treat.
ment by the mill company at this
place, aud in addition has something
TO say IN the form of q card, which is
not sworn to, concerning certain trans
actions in which my name is referred
to, aud which call for passing notice
from me. IL is perhaps well that
Lockwood was sufficiently discreet TO
omit these statements from his sworn
reduction as otherwise q chsrgs of
perjury against him might have re-
suited with every probability in favor
of giving him brief residence within
the walls Of the State boarding house
at Carson City. In his published card
be denies that while here he borrowed
from me the SUM of $500, but says
he did ask me to advance him 500
and that / replied that the company
had no bank account but that | would
get it for him during the afternoon,
which | failed to do. Now it so hap
pens in this case that | am not left
with the simple alternative of asserting
as true that which he denies, but have
abundant proof of the most convincing
kind that his statement is a naked and
unqualified falsehood, and while | was
not here at the time his ore was
worked aud can not speak personally
Of the matters charged by him; yet as
his statements are wholly unreliable
10 that part which relates to his trans
action with me / have rot the slightest
doubt but that his entire statement of
bad treatment from beginning to end
is a false aud malicious Islander, which
will be abundantly able TO show when
the proper time comes. The facts
about the 5000 are briefly these: The
morning that Lockwood left Winnie
tnucca for Mineral Hill l happened to
meet him on the street and expressed
surprise that he was still here. He
replied that he was waiting for the
man from Cortez District who was go
ing up the road that day with him.
He then called me to one side and
stated that he was 5000 short of the
money he needed to go home with and
make things sstisfa Glory with bis part
ner, an that his partner had about II
tons of good ore, aud there was from
80 to 200 tons more at the Hill which
he could control, all of which he would
bring or cause to be brought here, if
/ would advance him ths $500 needed,
and further adding that he was sorry
that he aud Sam Crosley. (the foreman
at the miIl,) had had any misunder-
standing. That first he had thought
there was something wrong in the
working of his ore. but was now salts
fed that the sweepings thrown into his
hopper by the Cinnamon was done by
mistake, and "a there were no samples
taken afterwards it could not effect
the result, and that when the ore was
sent down here for working he would
come with 1t, He said he was anxious
that should get the ore rs it would be
good thing for the mill. and thought
it would be we'll for me to go up to the
Hill and see those who had ore, which
agreed to do, he promising to meet
me at the depot with q team to take
me ont to the mines. I then asked
him if it would not answer his purpose
for me to let him have the money when
| reached the Hill. He said no, that 10
order to control the ore and be ia Q
position to bring it here he must be
able to make a certain showing. and
he must have the money now. On
this statement of the condition of
affairs, and as was quite anxious to
get the ore, i concluded to advance
him the 5000, and went directly to the
Office of the company and procured
check for that amount and hauded 1t
to him, when he went across the street
to Levy az Co.'S store and obtained the
