Ell DORADO CANYON MATTERS. - On
Sunday last there arrived in Piochs u
private conveyance from Salt Lake City.
containing party of seven persons,
amongst whom were NJ sara. Nsttletou,
vickroy. Allmendinger, = lady, col
orsd servant girl and two other persons,
who wsre on their way to Ell Dorado
CANYON to take chargs OF som, mining
property in that place, which Phila-
delphia company had purchased and for
which they had received u s. patent.
Asis always the case in mining camp,
their business soon b4cims known and
created considerable commotion among
certain classes, for it was known that GER
tain parties had bean working those
claims in FL Dorado Canyon for a long
time past with great succesl. and that
the said parties did not intend to give
peacable possession without difficulty
Numbers of individuals formed the ac-
quaintanco of the party from Phiadel-
phia aud tried to persuade them that the
best plan to pursue was to hire them =
OF 30 much day, and they would start
with them and give them possession OF
the property, but the owners or repre-.
sentatives Of the United States patent
knew little themselves and declined
the proffered services, relying upon the
law to placs them in possession of that
for which they had paid their money.
The case was accordingly placed in the
hands OF some OF our lawyers. who will
attend to the matter as fast as possible
and give the party possession of their
claims. As soon rs the requisite st cps
are taken they will leave for Ell Dor ado
Canyon. In the meantime, Messrs
Nettleton and Vickroy departed for
Eureka on Wednesdays stage, but will
probably return by Tomorrow. Due
publication for patent in regard to
these claims was made in the Phoebe
Daily RECORD, commencing April 80
1875, and was published the full time in
compliance with the law. Mr.. Nettle.
ton, who has charge of the affairs fol
the Company, informs us that he needs
no outside aid, as the law will fully pro.
tect the Company in their rights and
also give them possession OF their prop
erty.
