On Sunday last Walter Shaw, the
14-year-old son Of ID. S. Shaw of Fish
Creek, while out hunting with some
other boys was accidentally shot in
the back part Of the leg near the thigh.
II is not definitely known how the ac-
cident occurred. The boys had
wounded a rabbit and all hands we're
chasing it, guns in hand. In tumb-
ling over the sagebrush one Of the
guns was discharged with the above
painful result. The wound is a severe
one, though not necessarily dangerous.
The charge contained nearly 100 num-
Der six duck shot. A goodly number
OF them entered the flesh in a bunch,
while the rest scattered, taking effect
in the limb for some inches above and
below the main wound. DIR. Hagar
was called and renderd the necessary
surgical aid. lie picked out about so
of the shot, and others will be looked
for a few days later. II is the opinion
Of all that the young sufferer will
speedily recover and without per-
manent injury to the wounded limb.

A special from Ogden to a city pa
per says: This country is ablaze
with excitement over extensive min
eral discoveries about twenty-five
miles southeast Of here at the head Of
Paradise Canyon. Ore in one gulch,
which is found in enormous quantities,
is almost pure lead, with a paying
quantity Of silver. Two miles away
are ore bodies assaying up into the
hundreds. A sheep herder VAS the
first discoverer, and yesterday he was
offered $40, 900 for a one-fourth interest
in his claim by a wealthy mining cor
poration in Salt Lake. An uninter.
rupted stream Of prospectors and
miners from all parts Of the territory
passed through here yesterday. A
large delegation from Salt Lake is ex.
pected tomorrow. The hills are
covered with miners and the town Of
La Plata is already laid out. Experts
who came down last night report that
the camp will be second to Leadville.

vada City, and who is well-known in
Grass Valley, where he formerly
lived, was burned TO death under Pc
cular circumstances on Friday last
while driving q span Of horses be-

ranch OF his sister, Mrs. Mcmahon.
When he left town he was smoking a

from ii ignited his clothing, which
burned so rapidly that he was not able
to extinguish it. A ranchman living
near the road discovered the team
running away and the body Of the
wagon on fire. He succeeded in stop
ping the team and put out the fire in
the wagon, and he then started back
to look for the driver. At the distance
Of about half a mile he found the body

The montgomery Mines.

The Carson Tribune SAYS: Sur
veyor General Jones has received q
quantity of pay ore from the Chispa
mine in Breyfogle District. 1t was
discovered by Mr.. Montgomery and
has been thoroughly prospected. A
ledge fully developed and from two to
fourteen feet wide, contains ore which
works from $IS to $50 to the ton. and
the chances are greatly in favor oil
finding very much richer ore. A ten
stamp mill is in course OF construction
and work will be vigorously pushed.
The property is in Nye county, in the
vicinity OF Death Valley. There is no
foolish blow about the discovery, but
all on merit.

Gold Discovery Near wells, Me-

A dispatch from Wells says: A
prospector named Mathew Shields
came in last evening with seven
pounds of decomposed quartz that is
literally bespangled with gold. He
is very %reticent as to the location, but
he is known to have been prospecting
in the very rugged mountains at the
headwaters OF the Humboldt, Bruneau
and Salmon rivers. According TO his
description as to the extent and rich
ness OF the development, which is be-
yond belief, gold in the e a future
will be as common as pig iron. His
trail is being followed by a score OF
fortune hunters, with the assistance OF
Indians. Placer gold has been taken
ont in good paying quantities in the
Bruneau country for years past.

as much iron as can be put into a re-
