happenings OF n Week, Reflected
from the s. Reflex"
Six tone charcoal kilns, filled with coal
burned at the time the furnaces shut down,
the property of the Martin White Company,
were found to be on fire Thursday morn
ing last. There were between four and five
thousand bushels of coal in the kilns, and
it will probably be a total loss. 1t is too
evident the fire was the work of an incen-
diary. The individual who fred the coal
either did it out of pure unadulterated
cussedness or for revenge 1t is hardly
possible that it was don't for the purpose Of
creating a demand for charcoal, for but
little is used here. The intense heat rem
der d one Of the kilns, valued at 81. 200,
worthless for future use, which, together
with the coal destroyed, will bring the loss
up to 50, 200.
John NJ. Green and John T. Wallis, the
two men arrested last week on q charge OF
stealing $3.50 from Miles Butler, and held
by Justice Balday to APPEAR before the next
Grand Jury, were taken to Hamilton last
Sunday by L. G. Clement. Thos. Petch,
one of the trio engaged in the robbery, and
who skipped out. has made good his escape.
He was followed into Utah by H. D. Beene
and Constable White, but upon learning
that Petch had procured a fresh horse and
had doubtless placed a large number of
miles between himself and pursuers. they
gave up the chase.
There is no denying the fact that the
''eyes' have been gouged out of the Pay
master mine-the property of the Martin
White Compsny-and no attempt has been
made to develop ore bodies below the pres
ent workings. The near future Of Ward
is anything but bright, at least it would
appear SO with but two or three months
pay-ore ahead and but little work doing in
the mine-just enough to swear by. A
tunnel could have been driven in. or q
shaft sunk with the same force Of men
that have been employed by the Company
and the same amount Of ore taken out
also.
Saturday last Phil Felsenthal received
from 0sceola gold bullion valued at 81 500
the product of a short run Of the mill
at that place, on ore from the Monroe &
Luton and Crescent tangible evidence
that gold in paying quantities exists in
Osceola.
A gold nugget, valued at $3.50, was found
in Lea~itt 4 Murphy's claim at Osceola,
one day last week. This is but one Of the
meny nuggets found in that District that
the public know anything about. As q
rule, those making the find keep it dark.
The Martin White Company shipped, for
the week ending yesterday, bullion valued
at $40, 1867.

The Lisbon Mine, ana Other Items
of Imterest.

Assemblyman J. L. Smith and Mr..
Henry Shauness yesterday returned from
a ten-days' visit to Mammoth District in
the Western part of Nye county. We
gather from them some items of interest
relative to matters in the locality named
Mammoth District is situated 60 miles
from Austin and about ITO miles from
Wadsworth on the Central Pacific Rail-
road. Wood is abundant in the district at
from S4 to SIS per cord, and any amount of
water can be had by sinking from Is to 20
feet. The principal mine Of the district ia
the Lisbon, owned by Messrs. Welsh and
Raglan. The former is an old timer in
Mammoth, having resided continuously
there for fourteen years. He has a mag
nificent mine, and is staying with
II. be and his partner have ex-
pended over $4,000 in tunnels and
shaft on the Lisbon property. The ledge,
which is large and well defined, has been
prospected at various points to a deptb of
about 80 feet. The ledge matter runs from
20 feet to 40 feet in width and the paw
streak from five to IL feet. ASSAYS have
been obtained from the ore running all the
way from $45 to 81 1888. The whole mass
Of ore will probably work from $50 to 500
per ton. The ore is base and requires to
be treated by the smelling process. There
is now on the dump, ready for reduction,
about 200 tons. Mr.. Smith estimates tina
there are 1000 tons Of ore in sight in the
mine. 1t Is, therefore. to be inferred that
the Lisbon is a great mine, No doubt if it
was in the hands OF a strong company
it would soon take rank as one Of the lead
ing bullion producers of Eastern Nevada.
1t is, at all events, worth looking after by
some of the heavy mining operators of the
coast.
Messrs. Smith and Shauness touched at
Austin on their way home. They report
the old town quiet, but the people hopeful
in consequence Of the prospect Of the early
completion Of the Battle Mountain rail-
road. The boys brought with them from
Austin some excellent specimens Of rich
ore. On the whole, they enjoyed the trip,
and are glad they made it.
