On July'3, we had grand ball, with Wingate music, the affair costing about S100, and last night we had another such an occasion, with the same music. A first-class time was enjoyed by all who were present. Lieutenant Battle, of Fort Apache, came in yesterday with the paymaster's escort. He has jolly crowd with him and they aredoing the town while they have chance,
 Most everybody here is delighted with the platform of the Democratic convention held at Chicago, and pros- poets are that Bryan will be close sec- ond, If not. as we believe 2 clear first, in the Presidential race.
 W. L. Van Horn came here two weeks ago very sick, and fingered along until to day, dying this morning at $40. He had been very low for some time. None of his relatives were here. His partner, Harry Zuck, is expected in to-day on the noon train.
 The genial countenance of Hank Sharp is seen on the street to-day. He is here with bunch of cattle belong ing to Smith &r Tee, which he expects to ship in a few days. Hank is good. jolly, all around COW hand, and we are glad to have him give us a call.

 The mail carrier from Pleasant Valley reports that Budd Campbell was killed by the Apaches last week in the east ern part of the valley. It seems that Campbell was trying to take up ranch near the reservation line, and the Indi. ans objected to his staying there. A friend was with Mir. Campbell when he was attacked, but he escaped after a run of several miles. Campbell ran a mile and half before he was killed.

Soma Rich Lots of Ore.

Jim Perkins had ten sacks of ore
worked at the mill last week which
produced 5000 The ore came from
the Pamlico mine.
Another lotyfrom the same mine
belonging to Perkins, Dickerson and
Gluntz, yielded 5000. There were only
20 sacks in this lot
Jim Belzar informs us that six
tons of ore which he shipped to the
mill cleaned up $500.
Last Saturday Bob, Stewart horn
ed out six pounds and 10 ounces OF
rock from the Gem mine, and on
Sunday he took the amalgam to the
mill and after melting received bar
of gold weighing 30 ounces. AS the
gold from this mine is worth $l3. 80
an ounce, this would make the value
of the bar S472. so, Pretty good for
less than seven pounds of dirt.

The Aurora Tailinos,

J. t, Courchaine, Vim. Stewart
and B. +. Cottrell on the first of Jan
uary located the Aurora tailings
which had been accumulating since
the early days of that once famous
camp. Owing to the great growth
of sage brush on these tailings 20
one realized the extent or the value
of them, but Mr.. Courchaine, who
had known of these for the past
twelve years, was on the ground
first and located 40 acres, one-half of
which is covered with rich tailings.
These gentlemen have snug fortune
awaiting them in the working of
these tallings by the cyanide process.
They will begin work on them about
the first of April or as soon thereaf-
ter as possible. -Bodie Miner.

ling any class of gold ore, and now it
is in successful operation. Believe
ing that great benefit would accrue
to our section by making the lower
grades Of silver and silver-lead ores,
which would net stand shipment,
available, the owners are preparing
to handle this class of ore, by leach
ing and atterward concentrating the
silver ores, and concentrating silver
lead ores and putting them in shape
to ship,
The plant for handling silver ores
is nearly complete and iigs and by
draulic classifiers will shortly be put
in to handle lin conjunction with
concentrating tables, the silver
lead ores, and it is believed
that ores running as low as
forty-tive ounces of silver, or p
ounces of silver and 10 per cent lead,
as galena, if unoxidized, can be han
died protitably, if not too far from

Parties having this class of ore in
any quantity would do well to com
municate with S. A. Knapp, Haw-
thorne, relative to same, sending
average samples for examination.

The Sale of Silver Star.

1t is understood upon good author
ity that the sale of the Silver Star
mines is about eliminated. Some
few days ago James Yerington, who
has the deal in charge. received a
telegram from an English company,
some of the members of which are in
San Francisco, telling him to come
to the city The telegram further
said the company would accept the
mines on the approval of Ex-Governor
Colcord. Mr.. Yerington is now in
San Francisco and it is expected
daily to hear that he has been sue
cessful in his efforts. As to the APP
proval of Mr.. Colcord, the Gazette
understands that that gentleman has
already given it as his opinion that
the mines are valuable property and
all they lack is capital to open them
up.
The mines included in the deal are
the same lot that were in the VOL
colt sale, with the exception OF the
Brown mine. Reno Gazette
Inquiry among the owners of the
mines. fails to confirm the above re-
port However, it may be true, and
everybody hopes it is.

did go, however, were delighted with
the trip. The music was furnished
by Nelson, Money and Nelson
and was excellent The ladies pro-
vided a splendid supper, aud were
somewhat surprised at the rapidity

pleasant memory to all who partici-
pated.

A GOOD deal has been said about
the Schomburgk line in Venezuela.
A good many people wonder how
that came about. Well, Schomburgk
was a Russian. He went to Vene-
zuela to study the botany of that
country He served the London
Geographical Society in the Orinoco
region GO years ago, and he immor-
talized himself by discovering the
Victoria Regia lily. While there,
the British Government employed
him to run boundary line between
Guiana and Venezuela, and he grab
bed for Guiana a tract of country
about the size of New York. Since
then gold has been discovered fur
thur west, and the British Govern
ment wants about as much more,
which would bring their liae within
few miles of the mouth of the ORR

Theodore Durrant will spend at

terms of his commitment he was to
have been removed to San Quentin

granted another stay of proceedings
pending the decision of the Supreme
Court concerning a new trial. Or

Jail to keep Durrant in his old quar-
ters until January Goth. The pris-
oner had expected as much and was
not at all worried over the prospect.

BURGLARS GROWING VERY BOLD.
Same Place Entered Twice by n
GnnE inherent NIrhis.

There are some pretty smooth burglars in
Council Bluffs but IL they are not careful
some of them are going to be caught. Two
raids in one week on the same place by
the same fellows Is a trihe too bold for
safety The wholesale and commission house
of Duquette & Co. was operated upon for
the second time yesterday morning between
2 and o'clock and it was only by the
merest chance that the burglars were not
captured in the bu lding.
At the hour mentioned Private Watch
man Meisncr and Patrolman Claar met in
the alley in the rear OF Duuuette's establish
mcnt. They observed that an iron grating
over one OF the basement windows had been
disturbed. 1t was the same grating that
had bsen lifted by the burglars a few nights
age The officers believed that somebody
was in the building and they pulled the
grating aside and 81 pped down into the
basement After examining the cellar they
went above. but did not make a very close
inspection. While they were examining the
next floor above they heard noise down
stairs. Going down quickly they found the
front street door open. 1t was closed and
locked when they tried IL a moment before
1t was evident that the noise they heard
was made by some one who had been con-
cealed on the first floor when the officers
went through and took advantage of their
absence while hunt ng for him upstairs to
open the front door and make his escape
into the street. The front doors are locked
with spring locks that can be turned by
knobs on the inside, but require a Yale key
from the outside. The officers made a search
of the neighborhood, but could not find any
body. They locked the front door and left
the building via the cellar grating. When
the proprietors arrived yesterday morning
they found that nothing had been dis
turbed. The cellar grating will either be
chained from the inside or else a spring
gun will be set for the accommodation of the
prowlers. At the previous burglary the safe
was opened and drafts and checks taken
with all Of the money the cash drawer con-
tanned. If the safe had been opened last
night the thieves would have rece we'd moth
ing sOr their trouble.
Half an hour before the burglary the all
night man who presides over a restaurant
q few doors further down the street was
asked to change a $40 bill for a stranger,
who wanted to pay for a late lunch. When
the bill was fished out it was only a 50.
The change was given the fellow. and while
it was being counted out he looked closely
at the cash drawer. When he started to
go he asked to be directed to the North
western railway yards. Half an hour later
the restaurant man was somewhat surprised
to the same face peeping through
rear alley window He went back gu ckly,
but the fellow was out of sight before the
door could be opened.
