At the Horn Silver mine the regular
development work continues, but the
long-looked-for ore shipments are still il
the future.
Richard Severe, alias Black Dick, was
caught dead to rights selling whisky to
Indians in Silver Reef last week. by
Deputy Sheriff Russ Scott. He was tried
before the local justice, and sent to Sam
Judd's boarding house at st. George for
a term of 100 days.
! The Stormont mill is constantly run
ming ten pans, and worked during last
week an average of forty-three tons per
day. The ore, while it is fair grade in
quality, is not quite as rich in silver as
that worked in October, so that the bull
lion shipment will probably be less than
last month.
On the North Horn Silver ground some
very favorable showings have been made
by Surveyor Buettner. who has taken
charge OF and resumed work upon the
property. Ii good results can be shown
near the surface it is quite likely that his
company will put considerable force
upon the ground and push ahead vigor-
ously.
In North Star District, the several
mines are more than holding their own.
The lower drifts in the Rebel are cutting
through fine bodies of ore. At present,
Matt Cullen is personally directing the
underground work, with Dan Dacey, fore
man in charge. A. G. Campbell's group
OF mines, the Shenandoah, Adelia, Hick-
DRY and Oklahoma are yielding regular
daily output OF chloride ore The Okla
homa is claim recently opened, and its
outlook is more than fattering. The
closing OF the Campbell Reduction Works
for the winter will be quite disappoint-
ment to many, although it was not in
tended to operate the mill during the cold
season.
Ed. Powers was accidentally killed in
one of the Christy Company's mines at
Silver Reef last week. 1t seems that
