penetrated to the skull, where it
ranged down. Mr.. Stevens, Miss
Bessie Macnab and Miss Nellie

and as Miss Macnab was about to
fire, Mr.. Stevens, who was sitting a
short distance in front of her, start
ed to get up and rose just in time
to be struck by the ball. It was
purely an accident, as Miss Macnab
did not see him get up and he did
not think she was going to shoot.
Dr.. Whitwill called and pronounced
the wound not dangerous.
Silver Messenger: As silver is 90
exceedingly low in price it is hardly
worth while to work or prospect
for silver mines, and in conse-
quence everybody is seeking gold
properties, and Mr.. Wilson Ellis,
who lives and owns a beautiful
ranch at the mouth of Pashimari,
among the rest. A short time since
Mr.. Ellis discovered some gold
bearing quartz near his ranch, and
had the quartz tested and it showed
sufficient amount of gold and silver
to pay handsomely, so Mr.. Ellis To-
Gated claim, but some of our citi-
zens thought the formation in that
locality did not indicate mineral,
but the old gentleman would not
be discouraged but kept on pros
peoting, and a few days ago Mr..
Ellis sold the property to Frank
Hegart for $4,000. Mr.. Hegart will
work on the mine and
ship a load of ore this fall if posi-
BILE. He examined the property
thoroughly before purchasing and
must have been satisfied with the
outlook.
Mining men of experience have
examined this property and report
it very aattering prospect. We
have examined some of the quartz,
and in the extra high ore coarse
gold can be seen. Who knows but
that Custer county will have gold
mines on Pashimari that will sur
pass the famous Yellow Jacket gold
belt? We hope that this new dis
:overy will prove as the indications
now point, q bonanza.
The stage is now making regular
rips by wagon on the up-river
route to Custer and Bonanza-the
road having been put in repair.
