LOCAL INTELLECT


4 party who ought to know whereof he
speaks, stating that the Inca mine, of |
Tempiute, had been sold to an English |
company for 500, 900. 1t is to be devoutly
hoped that the information is correct and
that this valuable property has passed
into the hands of parties able to sys-
1ematically develop it. This mine has
for wears been known as one of the most
promising mines of Eastern Nevada. The
ore is very rich, working in quantities
$500 and $500 per ton, and the original
owners, McMurray, who was killed sew
eral years since at Tempiute, in a quarrel
over titles, and John RUSSELL whose
tragic and mysterious death at Duck
Water four years since created such
sensation at the time, working under dis
advantage, milled many thousand dollars
worth Of its ores at distant reduction
works-Hamilton Typo, Eureka, Bull
lionville, etc. There is every reason to
believe that, in the hands of good COM
pany, the development of this property
will herald new era in Lincoln county.
The shaft on the Inca is down 300 feet.
The statement Of the Day Company,
made on the first Of August, shows the
Indebtedness of the company to be Sl27,-
-S4.4O. To stand the Indebtedness off
the company has in transit $l07, O62 "a
worth of bullion, which leaves an indebt-
edness on the first of the month exceed
ing the bullion in transit of $50, 722.36.
This is not bad showing for mine that
two months ago was packing debt of
nearly 100000. The above figures
speak for themselves. After the indebt-
edness is lquidated, the company will
then proceed to erect new furnaces at
or near the mine, place in position good
and adequate hosting works, then every
thing will be lovely and in trim for pay
ing the stockholders big interest on the
money invested.
ANOTHER RICHMOND is in the field
for County Assessor, as will be seen per
announcement, on the Democratic side.
Robert Wilson, who is well and fayorably
known throughout the northern part Of
the county, and from whom Wilson Creek
derived its name, having been urged by
his many friends, has permitted them to
to use his name in connection with the
assessorship. Mr.. Wilson has both
farmed and prospected in this county for
years and is held in high esteem by his
many friends, who pronounce him as be-
ing worthy and qualified in every respect
to fill the position which they seek
for him, and delegates to the Democratic
County Convention will do well to con-
slider Mr.. Wilson's name.
PAYDAY. Work in this mine will be
resumed at an early day. The formation
is the same as the Day mine, the adjoin-
ing claim on the south, and the rock IN
the bottom of shaft now carries mineral,
which, in lime formation, is sure indi-
cation that there is ore not far Oft. The
north ore bodies in the Day run direct
toward the Payday shaft, and after the
shaft has attaind sufficient depth it is not
at all unlikely but that the continuation
of this same channel of ore chambers and
tissure may be encountered. The only
thing necessary to make the Payday .
valuable property, like its sister Day, If
depth.
WILL RnMAIN.-Mr. J. Myers, of thu
firm of J. Myers / Bro, who arrived IL
Phoebe week ago, has decided to con
tinue on the dry goods and clothing bust
ness in Phoebe, at least until next spring
for the purpose of selling out his immens
stock Of goods, which have been market
down to the very lowest figures, AM
barely covering the first cost OF good
and freight. As seeing is believing, tn
public is invited to call at the store ant
examine the prices and the supero
quality of the goods sold by this old an
reliable firm.
Foor CRUSHED. While working a
Dwight Egleston's threshing machine
run by steam, in Pahranagat Valley, tn
other day, and Indian got his foot badl
crushed, the bone being broken into sma
pieces, SO the men present got the hane
saw and butcher-knife and amputate
the foot; but being green at the surger
art, they whacked the foot OH ]u!
above the ankle. An Indians foot Shout
always be cut off just below the chii
However, as the Indian will probably di
it doesn't matter.
The early part Of the week, few mil
to the east and south of us, torrents
rain fell, flooding the country and was
ing out roads, whilst at Phoebe there we
only slight showers. This is simply a
other illustration Of the incorrectness
the biblical saying that ut rains upt
the head Of the just as well as the u
just" The Lord sighted the just in tn
instance.
