Lundy Mining Matters.

feet above have come together, form.

expected any day, for the header is
known to be in close proximity to the
Sheepherder lode. The fate of Tioga
as a mining district depends largely
upon the developments made by the
Great Sierra tunnel In prosecuting the
lode, though the Sheepherder is not
likely TO prove, at the tunnel level, as
large nor as rich as the Great Sierra
lode, $40 feet further back, and for
which the tunnel Is being driven.

Columbus District.

Columbus district does not confine
its activity to the neighborhood of
Candelaria. At the east end, near
Columbus, there is at Lo Yolo mine
q large quantity If fair ore, which will
be worked as soon as the Rowland
pulverizer can be finished. This mine
is we'll known in this section, At first
known as the Nevada, it was relocated
by r. E. Doren, as the Doren. A little
over year ago he Incorporated it
under the name of Lo Yolo, ard, with
the assistance of New York capital,
has done great deal of work, which
will soon return in the shape of divi.
bends. The Rowland pulverizer, with
which the ore is to be worked, is tho
first ever put up in Nevada, one
other being at work in West Virginia
and another in Mexico. This is
complex pan in which crushing and
amalgamating is done at the same
time, and is so arranged that any pulp
which has not been thoroughly treated
is returned to go through another
operation. 1t is claimed for it that,
with twenty. horse power, forty tons
per day can be worked. Everything
is being done in the best style of work
manship, and if the process is success.
full, of which there is left no doubt
from the success in Virginia and
Mexico, great impetus will be given
to the mining interests of this county.
BY the new process, ore, base or free,
can be worked for about one.half the
cost which any other process entails,
and that saving will do much toward
making some of the now idle mines
paying properties.

New Years Calls and Happenings.

Hawthorne celebrated its birthday
in good style. Everybody was in a
good humor before the day began, and
when the old year bid good bye at the
Dramatic Association entertainment,
the dance was going on and "joy was
unconfined. Owing to the misplace
ment of some property needed in the
performance of the piece there were
halts in the action which were dis.
agreeable to the actors, but even under
the trying circumstances, everything
went very well. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
were obliged to extemporize consider
ably in order to keep up the unities,
and to those who understood the diff.
culties of the situation their perform
ance seemed more than excellent. All
connected with the entertainment did
exceedingly we'll and Il general desire
for another performance has been
expressed. After the performance the
floor was cleared for dancing. Nobody
ever better enjoyed dance than the
company assembled in Mrs. Sutton's
hall that evening. The floor was in
good order and everything went mer.
rily as an improvised leap year dance
should.
A great many calls, formal and in
formal, were made on New Years day,
and a number of ladies asserted their
rights and paiu some calls themselves
on the I'd.
Numerous little parties have made
the week pleasant, and altogether the
New Year began auspiciously.

Lunlng will have a copper smelter
before it ceases its efforts. The latest
proposition is that of some New York
parties, who intend to build ten-ton
smelter with which to work the Cop
per Basin ore. 1t will, of course, also
work custom ore, and if the enterprise
does not fall through, Luning will
soon enjoy its long expected season of
prosperity. The furnace has already
been purchased, and there is a strong
probability that work will soon begin.

lied.

On New Year night while Governor
and Mrs. Adams were guests at Gen
eral Clarke's, their residence was
robbed. The thieves if there were
more thaa one, ransacked the whole
house, uptnrning beds, as ii seeking
for hidden valuables; rumaging
through bureau drawers and generally
upturning things. Strange to say
that of all the jewelry, solid silver
ware and other valuables The thieves
handled the only article they appro-
priated to themselves was \ fifteen
stone ring, valued ut 81 900, and box
of candies. Why they took no more
of the many valuables. which they
could easily have hidden about their
person, appears unaccountable. So
far there is no clue to the robbers, at
least, SO the officers say.-Carson 1rf-
