Thomas Ricketts,, a white man. who
lived near the South Carolina line,
about thirteen miles south of Wades
boro, was killed by his brother CAL
vim ricketts, Saturday evening. They
were disputing about two feet of a
common trace chain, each claiming
the chain to be his. A fight ensued,
when Calvin seized q board and
struck Thomas two ticks, one on the
back and the other on the head.
When the lick upon the head was
struck, Thomas fell to the ground
with his skull broken. The mother
managed to get Thomas into the
house, where he lived few hours
and expired. Calvin is now in Jail
at Charlotte.

PROSPECTING IS GOING ON

in three places, but ore has been found only
in one.
The Spndown, few hundred feet north
west OF the town, is owned by H.
Grashl, ?. Wilson and B. Boden with David
Upman, OF Butte, as silent partner. They
own also the two adjoining claims, the
Nellie and the Glencoe. Work, a scratch
ing OF the surface, has been done in three
places on the Shutdown and one good strike
made, This ID near the top of the hill and
is ABOUT four feet in width and five feet in
depth. The ore is galena, with whitish
appearance carrying two ounces of silver
and seventy-Slx per cent lead. There is no
vein, no wall, just a boulder of ore. This
Is almost all that can be said of this prop
erty, az the owners, by their actions, seem
to be
DETERMINED TO DO NOTHING
with the property or allow anyone else to
work 1t. They have sacked ten tons of
ore and more than twice that of surface
dirt which won't carry trace of silver or
i've per cent. lead. They sack this dirt as
carefully as though it were 5000 ounce ore,
and are saving it to be iigged. Their ac-
tions would lead one to believe that they
are afraid to sink lest the ore would
pinch out.
The Sunrise adioins the Shutdown on
the north. This is owned py w. H.
l..
and 0. G. Snow, all of Brigham
City. They are just stripping the hill. and
finding here and there boulders of galena.
They have out about two tons. The ore is
OF better character than any other found
in the camp, except that of the Mountain
View. The latter claim is about two and
one-half miles west of La Plata on a high
limestone reef. 1t is owned by F. j. WAL
champion, j. H. Wardleigh and H. g.
Wardleigh, of Ogden. 1t has some small
SEAMS OF GALENA
from which seven hundred pounds have
been taken. 1t is In hard rock and makes

TO SPECIAL SCHOOL TAXPAYER

A fund of special district school taxes of
the year 1890, which were paid to the COL
lector under protest, is still in the collec-
lof's hands. The city board of education
applied for mandamus to compel the col
iector to pay over the fund to the board. A
number OF those who paid said taxes under
protest are now intervening in the manda-
mus suit, claiming a refunding of the
amounts paid, and have retained J. G..
Sutherland as their attorney in the inter
vention.

AFTER the tax became DELINQUENT, and who
