taasf iasfaE1 Dufing the aeek
relatia u big strikes and samples Of rich
afe were brought into r,oehe. The claim
iwnsd by Col. Jack O'Brien and RAT.
Barton have nes about three feet Of good
ore. with vegy rich s;tsak. four inches
IA width. runniag through the center Of
H. Assays from samples a this rich
steak brought 10 town showed ~ 900
and s.. 3DO In SILVER. Barton claims that
the ledge will average $500. We learn
irom Charley Hopkins. who returned
from Comet during the week, that John
luce has opened up on his claim cave.
nr what appears 10 be natural tunnel.
u ore. about three and half feet IN
width. This ore Il soft, but there are
larse chunks OF carbonate ore through
il, large chunks having been taken out.
Two assays male OF this one by Hopkins
Thursday afternoon went Slii aud SlSs
in silver. The owners 81 this claim, We
believe. arc Jno. lnec. FL. Prudential,
Steve Draghevitch and Dave Kent. Ed.
Piey.on and Jim Clark have also discov-
cred claim with very favorable indica-
tions. Owing TO these and several other
discoveries made in Comet District, quite
a little excitement is existing in regard
10 this locality. The formation OF the
district is white lime. and everything
that has been discovered is yet ON the
surface. We hope the work OF develop
,nent will prove as good as the sanguine
expect. Where there is so much rich
ore ON the surface, it IS natural to sup
pose there is big mine somewhere IN
the locality.
BoRax.-John Roeder, who left here
several weeks ago in company with Henry
Shaeier in search OF borax in Utah, re-
turned on Tuesday. He says they found
some very fair borax prospects near Deep
Creek, Ctah, in the vicinity of the Rob-
bers Roost, and Shaefer was left there
prospecting. During Mr.. Roeder's alb
sence he visited Cherry Creek, Ward and
other points. While at Cherry Greek he
was informed that the company was three
pay-days back; but at Ward the people
were happy and very sanguine Of having
fair tunes this summer, and the mill Of
the Martin White Company were turning
1t is the prevailing impression that there
will be considerable stir this coming sum-
mer in regard to Taylor District, where
there are several very promising mines
developed, exposing large amount of
ore Of an excellent average grade.
GoSE. -Bunister, the bird tina. the
Sheriff had Gagged, has disappeared. and
whittier, no one knows. Bumister was
allowed the liberty of the jail during his
confinement, and was not locked in the
cell at night. He was " Monarch of sill
he surveyed" and roamed over his do
main at will. Last Saturday he became
alarmed, probably through fear that he
would be punished for his crime, SO on
that evening he made hole in the side Of
the jail and departed for other fields and
pastures new. When the boy arrived at
the jail with muck-a-muck at about 10
o'clock Sunday morning, and though
Bumister was absent, he found the hole
in the wall to act as his substitute
After regaining his liberty, like our ma
tional bird, he spread his wings and SCARED
aloft, leaving no trail.
SERIOUS AccIDENT.-Eugene Blair met
with serious accident at Bristol last
Monday. He was engaged hauling wood,
and while sitting on the load driving the
team, the doubletrees pulled loose and
Blair was pulled over forward, striking
the wagon tongue with his side, breaking
couple Of his ribs, the end of one of the
fractured bones piercing the lung. DR..
Mathews was called to attend the patient
and thinks that he will recover, provided
there is not splinter from the bone re.
naming in the lung, though when the
doctor left Bristol the patient continued
splitting up blood. Blair's injuries are
similar to those which caused the death
Of Judge Fuller about one year ago.
THE Martin White Company of Ward
is making good substantial bullion ship
ment, as the following item, taken from
the Reflex of the 9th, shows: "Since oul
last issue the Martin White has shipped
% bars of bullion valued at 40, l45.07.
Five or six bars more will go at by to-
nights stage" These bullion shipments
talk for themselves. The Reflex also
says that Gilmer & Salisbury intend put
ting on four-horse coaches between Ward
and Eureka. This has been rendered
necessary in order to carry away the bull
lion turned out by the Martin Whit
people.
