COL. JACK BAXTER STRIKES OIL

a Remarkable Development In Lin
coin County,
Col. Jack Baxter, the well known
prospector, came in from Highland
yesterday; He says that during the
last work he did in his Eclipse mine
formerly; tbe Standard Dollar) he
found that his left wrist weakehedin
single-hand drilling. He Kept at
work, however. though the wrist con-
tinued to grow worse. Ono morning,
while @strikingj,an upper in the west
drift there oozed out OF the hole a
grayish, semi-liquid or mud which ran
down the drill over his left hand and
wrist. The substance was, not espec-
tally noticed at the time, Jacktthink.
ing it had, come sown5from the|sur-
face during the great storm that had
prevailed on: there, as well as in Pr
oche, for over two months. Ia!
AS the days wore ON Col. Jack OBJ
served that his game" wrist was be-
having in an extraordinary manner.
At night, after a days drilling
straight ahead in the tface" or toward
the bottomrof the drift, it gave him no
peace, but when he worked upward .piSa
on the north side of the eroof" there
was a quite perceptible relief while
working and for hours afterward.
At last he surmised that the ooze
from the roof was a natur Il iniment
sent by an Unseen power to enable
him to keep at work u few days longer
until he should make the Strike" for
which he, like all prospectors, has
been seeking these many years. Act
ing ON the surmise, he rubbed the
ooze on his wrist a few minutes until,
to his surprise, it had disappeared
leaving some singing scratches from
grit that had been mixed with it.
While wondering where it had gone
he forgot his pain, and now he says
that his wrist has been stronger than
the other ever since. Can it be pos
sible that Lincoln county has a medi-
cine mine?
LATEE-The above was put in type
on Monday. To-day, Saturday as we
go to press, we learn that a number of
persons afflicted with ailments, for
which liniments are commonly used,
have been cured by Col. Baxter's
mineral oil, which he chooses to call
3Trib." Nevada seems destined to
occasionally surprise the world. Ger
tainly nothing more remarkable than
this has yet been discovered in our
sagebrush State.-Pioche Record.
