ing the sentences imposed upon
Rhodes, Hammond aud others at
Pretoria, and is showing his resent
ment by closing all his mines, and
selling all his landed properties in the
Rand. The people are paralyzed at
the prospect, as the closing of the
Barnato mines will throw thousands

A Sale Probable.

Evan Williams, D. L. Bliss, R. ].
Laws and S. A. Knapp visited the
Dunlap copper mines, u miles east
of Soda Springs, last Wednesday.
Mr.. Knapp has bond on the mines
and is negotiating sale to we'll
known capitalists. 1t is said to be
an immense deposit of fair grade
copper ore, the belt being in quartz
tie and over 300 feet wide. A 15-ton
test made by Peck Brothers with
their concentrating plant on the Car
son river is said to have resulted sat
isfactorily. The visitors were much
pleased with the surface indications
and the grade of the ore, and have
made arrangements to do two about
two months work to determine if the
ledge goes down. On the result of
this work depends the closing of the
deal, which if consummated will pull
our county out of the slough OF de-
spond as the working of the prop
erty OH scale commensurate with
it's great size will necessitate a large
outlay for machinery, roads, power,

In the matter of the Aurora and
Desert Greek toll road, Vim. Full
stone appeared before the Board and
asked that the action of the Board in
declaring the road free be rescinded.
The matter was taken under advise
ment until the next meeting, when a
full Board will be present.
Mr.. Fulstone said that the action
of the Board was unjust to the own
ers of the road, who are all heavy
taxpayers in this county, and as a
matter of fact the Board had no
power to revoke the charter granted
by the State. He said further that
the petition was drawn up circulat-
ed and signed principally by resi-
dents of Lyon county for their own
personal benefit aud not from any
desire to help the travelling public.
He and his partners were willing to
sell the road to the county for less
than they paid for It, but he most
emphatically protested against it be-
ing declared a free road at present.
Upon petition Of residents of Sill
yer Peak, John Trainor was appoint
ed Justice of the Peace at that place
A petition was read asking the
Board to declare the Mt Cory toll
road public road. Laid over till
next meeting.
In the matter of the delinquent
fees of ex-County Clerk Leidy, the
District Attorney reported that said
fees had been paid.
The District Attorney reports that
the delinquent taxes of the State
Line Mining Co. were paid without
suit. The suit against Ed. Brown
resulted in judgment against the
defendant for the sum of 500 81, which
sum has been paid, and the Court
took the matter under advisement
and at its April term decided that
the defendant must pay the same.

Can See the Gold.

Some very unique cathode ray ex
periments have recently been made
in Oregon by DR.. ]. c. Perry, a we'll
known physician, and W. C. Cheney,
Superintendent of the Portland Flee
trio Company, The experiments were
made with goldbearing rock, in
whichsthe rays defined the free gold
as plainly as if lying on the surface
of the quartz. So far as known this
is the first successful experiment of
the kind with quartz, and the results
obtained justify the assertion that
the new ray will prove of immense
value in mining operations.
