Wells, Fargo Il Co., and the fraud incentive
Williams, President Of the Star Mining Com-
pany, as promoter, the question has often
been asked: Is there not something behind
the scene yet to be enacted, besides the dra-
matte mining swindle, already rehearsed for
its final exhibit on the Judicial stage at the
county seat of White Pine on the Both day of
July? The question has been asked, is not
the precious prey of the Star mine. in itsSub-
terraneous flight of westward, taking refuge
under The protective talons of the old Grey
Eagle? Isnot its offspring, retreating from the
Star to its own mother nest in close prox-
unity? Has not the Star surmised that to
follow the Grey Eagles offspring in its west
ward flight Is to be bafiied and end with de-
feat? Therefore is it not their motive to en-
camp, maneuver and adopt stratagem to al
lure to captivity the old Grey Eagle and its
fleeing offsprings from their lowest retI o It to
the silyer-gilded apex of their roc~k-plumaged
nest? If TINT is not one part Of the second
drama that the Star actors intend to exhibit,
then their prospectus will be failure. / will
try t outline the position Of the two oppo-
nents of the Star and Grey Eagle Hill.

nus of its location by tho east side line Of the
Grey Eagle mine, near the southern end
boundary Of the latter. The Grey Eagle Is
recorded 100 feet northerly and $50 feet south
erly from its initial.point Of location; its title
is secured by L. 5. patont. The Grey Eagle
claim, for quite a distance north Of its initial
point OF location, to its southern terminus,
shows "a ledge OF preponderant size. with a
northeast and southwest trend and dip to the
eastward; also trayersed and transixed south
OF the initial point of the Grey Eagle location
by the est continuation Of the east and west
star vein. The star Company have not as
yet drilted west far enough to tap the east
dip of the Grey Eagle claim. Therefore II
viii be perceived that the dip of the north
and south mineral groupings Of the Grey
Eagle inchnss to, and will hnally underlie the
star Claim, and thus Preclude the ore shatc

Inclination should underile the entire
Star location, which will transpire with Iu-
ture mining events. Tho trey Eagle mine
was located june d. 1877. the Star mine July
=, 1878. Ihe east boundary or hanging wall
OF the Grey Etgle Is slate; the country
rock that the Star cuts across being the hang
ing wall OF the trey Eagle, would therefore be
in slato with interval bikes oi syenite. 1t is
observed that the trey Eagle Is traversed by
numerous spurs, most prominent amongst
them being tho star yein. The Grey Eagle
location is situated ON the lower mineral belt
or the east, north ana south parallel lode Of
Cherry Greek District.
Ii has been asked, why is not the Grey
Eagle mine being worked? l will state its
owner has also "A mining claim adlOining the
eastern terminus OF the star location, With
title sec AIRED by |. :. pateht, and known as
tho Eastern Extension Of the Star. The star
Company wishing 10 run a tunnel along the
course OF their ledge 10 connect with Their
working shaft, negotiated with the owner OF
the extension for the privilege OF
log a tunnel at the base of the mountain ON
his ground, and to continue the same through
his location to penetrate the star claim. for
the purpose OF WORKING his mine through
the tunnel, the owner of the extension acced-
ed To the demand OF Williams, President of
the star Company, on condition that he
should have the privilege OF working the
Grey Eagle mine through said tunnel when
comp eted. For If the tunnel was continued
west II would tap the Grey Eagle ledge about
40 feet deep. The Star Company have not
completed the tunnel quite to the western
terminus OF thelr claim, the tunnel Is desig-
mated as the 3jU-tOot level OF tho star mine.
After tho tunuel was completed the
owner of the Grey Eegle applied to Williams
Tor permission TO work his mine through
tho tunnel. as per verbal agreement, but
Williams went back on his contract, which is
characteristic of the man. Hence the cause
OF the Grey Eagle at present not being
worked. FOR convenience II Is necessary to
have access to the NINE from the tast side of
the claim, 1t can ana will be worked other
wise II necessary. Ii said that the tunnel
will only remain in allegiance for n short
time. For the present, IT the working
oil the Grey Eagle was not IN n manner pre-
eluded by the peculiar location OF the star,
il would be worked to Its fullest extent. In
that case the Star ore shute, intead OF wend-
ing its way in its western decliyity, might re-
verse its system and wend its course TO the
aerial heights where the wood bine twinoth.
Williams might also follow In the wake of the
luminous trail OF the great comet of 1882,
and disappear from the view of man. Their
absence would neySr be missed by the miners
of this or any other section of the Coast, or
even by his colony of monkeys on Union ISL
and. near Stockton.
But, | am informed, he anticipates pro-
longing that event through his ayfdlty to be-
come "A future United States Senator from the
