credit or honor OF being the dlScovererS
of the Jackrabbit or Day mine, we will
state that the honor and credit of the
discovery belongs to another party alto
gether, that ono being Chris. P. Kast-
berg. who in December, 1876, located it
as the Pocahontas mine, but failed to
record it. Afterwards he started to work
on it again and relocated it, but again
failing to place 1t on record within the
proper time. Shortly after the second
abandonment Garrison and Emory To-
Gated and recorded It, Ever since the
settlement of the suit commenced by
Vallaincourt against Garrison ct oil.
Kastberg has been approached by differ
ent parties who wished to get bis deed to
the property, Offering him $500 for the
same, they intending giving the Day
Company az much trouble as possible in
regard to the locations mentioned above.
Kastberg declined oil offers, saying that
he abandoned all claim to the ground,
but to prevent being annoyed by any more
opportunities he on Monday last gave o
deed to the Day Silver Mining Company
for all this right title and interest COW
cred by the Pocahontas and the reloca-
ton of the same. This prevents any
trouble from arising to the title of the
Day Silver Mining Company.
TROUBLE AT THE SENATOR MINE.-Al-
most since work has been commenced on
the Senator mine, in Jackrabbit District,
the owners of it have been in hot water,
SO to speak. They first sunk II or 10
feet on the mine themselves. After do
ing this they let contract to sink 80
feet to some parties, agreeing to give
them some feet in the mine for sinking
that distance. After the contractors had
sunk a distance 81 or SO feet they
claimed the deed to the property on &C.
count of being at depth of so feet from
the surface, and, as they said, having to
straighten up the original work done,
was as much labor as sinking that dis
lance. To avoid fussing and quarreling
the owners of the Senator gave the par
ties deed to the ground promised.
These parties having got along so WE'LL
they now propose to remove the ore
which they extracted during their work,
claiming il is theirs. The owners of the
Senator says it belongs to the mine. and
how the trouble is to be settled remains
to be seen The owners Of the Senator
will be lucky men if they succeed in get
ting along without giving away the en-
tire mine.
