The Park Record gives the following
review of operations at the great
camp Tor the past week:
According to reliable information re-
this week by the writer, one of
the biggest sensations that ever stirred

been made. and as soon as the details
can be arranged and gotten into shape
the big gun will be fired, and the Bo-

words, suit is to be planted III the

Trouble over Water.
There is trouble between the Silver
king and Crescent companies over the
i7vater supply in Shadow lake and a re-
sort to the courts for a settlement of
the dispute appears, at this writing, in
!. Aevitable 1t seems the Silver King
people recently purchased four claims

its source OF supply, and at once begun
