Calico. California, for the past several |
months, returned on last Sundays stage.
He left there before the trouble COM
menced at Calico The trouble is caused
by piece Of ground laying between the
mines owned by old Uncle Billy Ray
,aond. The monuments marking the
boundaries of Uncle Billy's claims did not
cover the ground between the Garfield
and another claim owned by him, there
being quite a strip of ground left be-
tween the monuments of the two claims.
This Intervening ground was located by
several parties, when Uncle Billy said
that the ground belonged to him; al
though not enclosed within the monu-
ments of his claims, he claimed that the
ground was covered by his location no.
tees This ground has proven valuable,
and the locators refused to give it up.
The miners employed in one OF Ray
mond's mines were ordered to go drive
the locators off the ground. but the men
refused to comply with the order. Then
the men at the Garfield mine were ordered
to go drive the locators away, but as they
were employed as miners, and not fight
ers, they also refused to obey such
orders; thereupon Uncle Billy discharged
all hands and closed down the mines

Ok Pat Ryan telling here some three
weeks ago that Henry Raymond had
been killed by falling timber in a mine
down in New Mexico, many of our resi-.
dents had doubts as to it being Henry
Raymond who had several times been
prominently connected with mining affair:
in this county, but Mr.. Ryan was posi-
tive that it was the same man. We see
in the Mohave Miner, of Mineral Park
Arizona, bearing date of the Sth instant
that Mr.. Raymond had arrived there ant
purchased three gold mines that had beer
sold at Sher.fss sale. Mr.. Raymond il
engaged in mining operations in the Vi
cnity of Mineral Park, and is one of thu
Supervisors of Mohave county.
