Now that the excitement is over a
number OF the Comettes are returning
to town, lean, lank and hungry. There
have been three very promising discov-
cries made in the district. The claim
owned by ince & Co. is said to be look
the best of any at the present time, while
the East Redemption claim continues
looking very favorably. The pospect
owned by Clark Il Pierson is said to give
greater promise OF becoming permanent
than any prospect that has yet been dis
covered, though the ore is not of as high
grade as that of either OF the above men,
toned claims Negotiations are now
pending for the purchase OF sixth inter-
est In the East Redemption claim. The
price to be paid is $1,000. Very little
work has been done on any of these pros
poets as yet. 1t is to be hoped that they
will eventually prove good property

the good little Phoebe boys, aged from
twelve to sixteen years, are the possess
ors OF revolvers, which they pack around

very near shooting persons. The Sheriff

Young ''border ruffians," so ON that
morning. accompanied by eight or ten
men, the Sheriff proceeded to the school

placed under guard so to prevent any

THE PROBABLE CAUsE.-A letter re-
ceived in Eureka from Tombstone, Ari-
iona, says the Leader, states that the
insanity of Yves. Travis was probably
caused by the discovery of rich mine
near that place The find SO unsettled
his brain that he imagined some one was
trying to take it away from him. The
letter suggests that his brother Jot, who
is said to be residing in Salt Lake
should be notified of the fact, in order
to inquire into the circumstances. 1t
might be well for Jot to take in the sit
uation, "e'en though it be the rawlings of
q mad mans brain.
The cattle-owners hereabouts are hunt
ing up hides. They must have missed
some of their cattle. As no stock per-
ished in the storms of last winter, they

within the borders OF Lincoln county that
would be guilty of stealing cattle.
