SsooT1sG AT rHE HILLSIDE MINE
There not being any person injured or
killed At the Hillside mine for about a
month il became monotonous, and as
variety il the spice Of life, the boys cut
there las, Monday INDUCED in little
bad whisky, powder and lead, and John
Hurley was shot 10 the shoulder, and a
ball also hit him on the ribs and glanced
sff. We have heard several tales in re.
card TO the trouble, and there ID no tell
mo which is correct. 1t appears that
the disturbance originated over game
of cards and Hurley Was eiected frota the
saloon, which ia located near the mine,
and ia under the charge OF John Wheat
lev. After being elected Hurley went
and armed himself with siY-shooter,
and on returning to the saloon couple
of men were sent to intercept him and
persuade him from going any further.
Their influence was of no avail however,
and he still advancing, Wheatley went
in and shut the door, either locking it or
placing something against it. Hurley
advanced, burst open the door, and was
shot, as stated above. Wheatley came
to town and gave himself up, but was let
90 on his own recognizancs until the re-
su!ts of Hnrley's injuries were ascer-
tanned. Hurley was brought 10 town
Tuesday and bis wound was examined
and dressed by the doctor. The wound
is not serious but the bullet yet remains
in the shoulder.
SoUAw KILLED. Wednesday after
noon, while one of our citizens was out
walking near the second canyon beyond
the slaughter house, he heard the dis
charge of gun; four shots were fired,
the first two being in rapid succession.
At the Same time he observed great
commotion ameng the Indians up on the
hill, they yelling, throwing rocks. etc.
Thinking that the Indians were up TO
some deviltry he sent the Sheriff out,
who learned that a squaw had been shot
and dragged to shaft and thrown in.
The tracks OF her blood were yet warm
on the ground and showed on the side Of
the shaft where they had thrown her in.
The Sheriff questioned lot of the reds
in regard to the matter, but could learn
nothing, some telling him it was horse
killed, others squaw, while most OF
them said they knew nothing about it,
We learned that it was squaw killed
aud that she was murdered because she
had given birth to a red-headed pap
poose. Phoebe Indians have a great
objection to red-headed babies.
DAY OFFICIAL LETTEE.-The following
is the official letter of A. 8. Gould, Super.
intendent of the Day mine, dated No.
venber 21st. II have written and tele-
graphed you several times since my last
weekly letter, so there is little left for me
to say to-day. We still have fair ore in
tie back slopes from the north drift, and
continue to load two teams to tho fur
mace every day. have let a contract to
run the southwest drift fifty feet, where
we have an excellent showing, tho ore
already coming in about eighteen inches
wide, and of high grade. Some OF our
as.ays are very handsome. We are
pushing the incline winze With double
shifts. and I think, despite the bad
ground. that we can reach our new ore
body, discovered through the cave, in
about ten days. Our pulp assays yester-
dsy raised to S97.
MAYFLowER MINE. Bristol, Novem-
Der 21st: During past week have e1-
tended drift seven feet, total length 20
feet. On the north side of the face Of
the drift We struck into cave, carrying
ore on the sides and bottom, showing
large seams and open assures ahead. We
are not far enough in with the drift yet
to thoroughly explore it. In face OF drift
we opened into another cave last night;
can see in IL or Is feet ahead, and it
looks as if it is larger than the cave on
che north aide. II will take couple of
shifts to break through so we can ex-
anime it. The bottom of tho drift is in
soft ore. Will be able to thoroughly ex-
plore both caves this week,
OFFICIAL LETrER.-The annexed is
the official letter of H. Mill, Superin-
tendent of the Raymond & Ely mine,
DosCu ASoNouuef al. We arc SILL TAX
ing out usual amount of ore from between
the 10th and 18th levels. We expect
soon to strike a large body of ore, but
Of low grade, and when we do will get it
opened az soon IS possible. The gen.
eral prospects of mine look very we'll.
Mr.. Kilbourne is still hard at work get
ting ready for the rooster, and two weeks
from time the rooster arrives we expect
to have it going. We are taking out
ore from black ledge, so as to have
plenty on hand when rooster is working.
FA1RvIEw SPRINGS springs,
which ore situated some five miles from
Bristol, were purchased last week by the
Hillside Mining Company. 1t is the in
tention of that company to erect large
reservoir at Bristol, lay pipes and bring
the water into that town. The water
supply heretofore has been source of
uneasiness to Bristolians, but in the near
future this ageravation will be dis
penssd with. 1t was necessary for the
