District are improving. In the Dry
Lake claim, owned by Clark and Willett,
are was struck in the bottom of the
shaft, which has attained depth Of 100
feet. The ore was covered with horn.
silver, but as to what the rock really
contained has not been learned. This
claim had a narrow scam of ore from the
surface down, about from half to an
inch and half in width. At places the |
ore would completely give out, and then
after sinking foot or so would come in |
again. This seam of ore was rich, going
from $3.50 to $500 per ton, and the |
owners extracted sufficient ore to pay
their expenses as they worked Jim |
Burrows is taking outa little good ore
while prospecting his claim. Freuden-
thai and Company are making prepare
tions to resume work on the "Belle"
claim, which is said to be a lovely pros.
pect, and contains good pay ore on the
| surface.
In really does appear strange to see
the cld-timers come struggling back. On
Thursday Harry Thomas and Ed. Borden,
after wandering of five years, returned.
They have been in California, Utah and
Northern Arizona most of the time
They say it may look strange to US to see
men leave new country with big repu-
tation and return to an old camp they
tell has been exhausted, but they re-
marked that this was the best field they
knew Of in which to prospect, and that
they would rather prospect in some of
the old mines here than in the new couu-
try through which the had been travelling.
AFFAIRS over in Iron City, Utah, are
not working smoothly. A party from
that place says great dissatisfaction exists
among the employees of the Iron Manu-.
featuring Company. The trouble is said
to be in the quality Of their wages, which
consists principally, if not altogether, of
"tithing pay" and capital stock in the
company. Many Of the dissatisfied men
have quit work. Work on the various
improvements, including the railway, is
progressing very slowly and with many
bitches and delays.
GEO. ALLEN, from the lower part Of
the county, reports that there was four
inches of snow fell on the banks of the
Colorado. At the Canyon the ground
was just about covered with snow, but
up in the mountains considerable snow
reached the ground. At Ell Dorado the
mills continue closed down for the want
of wood. The work up in the mines
continues and fair quantity of good
quality of ore is being extracted.
OWING to the condition Of the road
through Meadow Valley Wash George
Allen, on his way up from Ell Dorado,
was forced to leave his wagon at Johnny
Kernan's, 50 miles south of here, and
come to town on horseback. He thinks
that he will be able to get his wagon up
to Phoebe by making circuit over into
Pahranagat, then up the valley and across
the country to Phoebe, distance of l25
miles.
A SUCCESS. --The test made of the
tailings sent East by the Builionville
Smelling company, we are glad SO learn,
has proven success, and machinery is to
be erected for the purpose of working
them. 1t will take about two years to
work over the tailings at Bullionville.
This will be a great blessing to the peo-
pie of Panaca as well as those at Bullion
vile. n. sU us 4t .6t.4 E.
JAILED.-Frank Carroll, who tended
the bar at Wedges Inn at Panaca for a
couple of years, and married young lady
Of that town, then left for Emory county,
Utah, recently robbed a store at Green
vile and then proceeded to Salt Lake,
where he was captured and placed in
Jail. 1T.
The people of Jackrabbit give good
accounts of the Kingfsher claim. The
lower workings are looking big and the
ore is improving in richness. May the
Kingisher always perch on the high
branches of prosperity. -vl- 3.

days, but most Of them have crawled
back into their holes and are at work
