Eureka Lesder; Hiram Johnson was
on Prospect Mountain to-day to select a
road by which to transport the hosting
machinery to the Silver Conner mine
Ward Reflex: From Dave Felsenthal,
who was over from Osceola few days
ago, we learn that there is not enough
water for sluicing, and that the miners
have fallen back on the rockers.
Eureka Sentinel w. H. Morris,
brother of J. K. Morris, the Superintend-
ent Of the Gila mine in Nye county, says
the prospects are encouraging, and the
ella will yet be leading stock.
Ward Reflex: w. 3. Lawler, of Ruby
Hill, White Pine county, has been stop
ping in Ward few days. He was the
locator of the Sadie L at Silver Canyon,
which will soon be sold for $4,000. He
says he could now sell it for 100000.
Eureka Leader: Supt. Robinson re-
ceived word to-day that very i'm
portant strike had been made in the Bay
State on the lower level OH the crosscut
west of the south drift The body OF ore
encountered is quite large and OF high
grade.
Belmont Courier: We understand that
the Alexander Mining Company refused
81, 600, 600 for their mines and mill last
week. Their selling figure is SO, O0O 900,
and the chances are favorable for their
being paid that sum for their valuable
property.
Virginia Chronicle: This morning at
s o'clock, another discouraged man took
the short cut off his troubles by putting a
bullet through his brain. His name was
David Miller. He was native of Ire
land, 40 years of age, and the father of a
family that is now destitute by his rash
act.
According to the True Fissure this
happened in a quiet place: The lizard
man from Candelaria" glared on the
i"Hard man from Pickhandle Gulch. y
At the end Of three minutes as each went
his way, the fondest mother in the land
could not have recognized her son III
either of the disputants
Silver State: The failure Of the Reno
Savings Bank has affected several bust
ness men and the public generally, here
and in Paradise, materially. A great
many certificates Of deposit OF the demon
nations of five, ten and twenty dollars
were in circulation here, and for the
present, at least, they are as valueless rs
SO much waste paper.
Leader: The Mary Ann on the wes
side of Prospect Mountain owned by
Walsh and Looney has been leased tt
Mike Moran and Frank Burt who arr
, doing good work on the property. Owe
40 tons Of good ore are now on the dump
and shipment will be begun shortly
This mine is one Of the best on thu
J mountain and is turning out splendidly.
Esmeralda Herald: While taking
| trip around the principal mines of thi
. camp we found more ore in sight and oil
!. the dumps than we expected, and all ar
awaiting the erection of q mill capable o
working the ore at ten or twelve dollar
!. per ton. We believe anymill man VIII
:, will come here and guarantee some Ger
tain percentage from the ore of each min
a will get all the rock he can mill.
: The Reno Journal takes issue with tn
Eureka Leader on the proposition tina
il without an increase in taxable values ]
Q the State, the rate Of State taxatio
e must be raised, and in support of it
position shows that with the present rat
Of taxation tho receipts into the Stat
j, Treasury for the year 1879, from a
sources, was 1926, l7l.Sl, and says j
effect il it takes $3.50, 900 to defray tn
!. expenses of the State government, fc
two years 1926, 600 will do it for on
year.--lEureka Leader.
