Tam Hickey IS killing elgnteen
horses a week and feeding them 10
the hogs, says the Carson Appeal. The
meat is boiled in a caldron with gram
and is very fattening. People who
have tried horse steaks say they are
very palatable and good deal osVUer
than tough beef.
The grand jury Of Lyon county mas
returned presentments for malleaS,

silver. The charges embody matters
relating to the official acts OF the ON
GERS presented, and they will be inves-
tigated in the District Court before
Judge Mack, shortly.
The Elko Board of Trade are getting
up pamphlet for distribution in the
East in which will be set forth the
many mineral :and other resources OF
that county. 1t is an example which
other caunties would do well to follow
giving the up-to-date situation OF the
mines and the like.
Some efforts are being made to make
known the resources OF Nevada In the
East. A lot of the native mineral
soau of Nevada was recently sent 10
New York. 1T atIoras foundation on
which to build up fancy soap for
some uses, 1t is as good soap as is
dug out of the ground, but they will
doubtless be able to improve it in the
big Eastern factories.
Tho Ophir and Paygrit property,
Humboldt county, has been sold to c.
Fl. Wilbur of Salt Lake City. The
mines are so well developed as to be
considered on a paying basis. The
owners had out and In sight great
deal of ore. but lacked a mill. Mr..
Wilbur bought five stamp mill
which he found at White Plains, and
will at once set it up at his mine and
begin working ore The mine is sit
uated in Central district, and was
secured for the low price of $500.
During the past fall there have been
killed on the Fraser range near Pyra'
mid lake 400 head Of horses. TheiI
hides, tails and names are disposed OF
at the rate Of So per animal, and the
carcass left to decay. Wild horses
are getting to be great nuisance on
the ranges in Nevada, and many are
killing them to save the feed they eat
The wild horses killed on the Fraser
range bring good price at 80 pei
head, for they are as wild as deer, an6
are all fuz.tails, not worth bit a doz
en- for work.
Although the parties who put up {
mill at Kennedy failed to make tn,
ore of the camp pay and pronounced
it "no good" others seem to have bet
ter luck, A lot of Kennedy ore sen
to California few week ago pai(
well, and another lot Of thirty-tlv,
tons from the Geld Note mine, sent tt
Denver last week by A. J. Blossom
averaged $137 ton in gold. 1t ha
been but a few months since we saw
In all the papers an item headed
1.-THE Mines of Kennedy a Failure.
Evidently 1t was the mill that was
failure, or the new tangled process
We shall soon see the people who fee
broken-hearted from Kennedy return
ing and resuming possession of tn
homes and property they were obliged
to desert few months ago, TIL
mines are probably all right.
With her rich mines and rich semi
trepic valleys, Lincoln county is be
ginning to get on move. This yea
she will draw on the State schoo
fund for over GAO children of schoo
age. This is an increase of more thai
one hundred over last year. The lin
crease is principally at the mines a
DE Lamar and in the valleys of tn
Muddy and Rio Virgin. With rail
road Lincoln would boom. 1t
thought by miners from Disaste
Peak that the rich mines bein
secretly worked by Lincoln count
men, 100 miles west of Hike, are some
where between Montgomery distric
and the White Mountain range. TIL
ore OF the secret mine is said to shoy
much coarse gold, and with the gol
flakes are strings Of native copper
The finders hint at having somewher
small mountain of the stuff. TIL
Disaster Peak men think 1.-THE strang
mixture of gold and copper come
from a big "blow-out" or mound-lik
mass of quartz. Bill Chrisler is il
from the Peak. They have close,
down there for the winter, but expec
the camp to boom in the spring.
The other day there was lying a
the freight depot at Hawthorne await
ing transportation to Bodie no fewe
than seventy-fve barrels of whiskey
This is pretty well for enc small cam,
and indicates that the people of Bodi
are determined not to be caught on
again this winter by a snow blockade
With seventy-fve barrels of whiske,
70 ada to their present stock, tn,
bodie people can laugh at the bliz.
yards for it is about one barrel /,
every five men in the camp. However
the California miners are very dilipent
drinkers. No such stock Of whiske,
is ever seen going into any it'll,
Nevada camp before.
