SILVER PEAK.


States Marshal has habit OF drop
ping in on US unexpectedly and stir
ring things up He has just dropped
In and stirred. Whst.it all means we
are trying to find out, but up to date,
in spite of the vast amount OF legal
knowledge possessed by some people
here, no one seems to know. The
Marshal took in the goods in Han
chett's store, gobbled up the wood
pile and helped himself to everything
portable about the works. Whether
there is to be change in the admin
istration OF the Silver Peak mines q
few days will show, and it is " con-
summation devoutly to be wished. F"
The only thing we have to rely on Is
Chiatovich's tunnel, and the indica-
tions are that it will prove our saliva
ton. The ledge he started on =
month ago is looking and producing
well. The pay streak is six feet wide
and will work between $50 and $40
where they have raised up on it from
the tunnel level. The north drift is
in 90 feet in good quartz, the south
drift about Is feet, and the whole
ledge indicates strength and perma-
nence In a week or ten days the
ground will be opened so that Stopping
on the ore will commence, when
few men can keep the ten-stamp mill
running. This is easily the best mine
on the hill, and is 10 the right hands
to benefit the State and district. A
few more men with the same courage
and faith would make things hum
around here, and there is lots OF
room for more mines OF the same
kind.
Louis Leidy's Great Gulch mine
improves as he gets deeper and is one
Of the most promising prospects in
the district. 1t is new find in new
Aeld, and shows the great extent OF
this mineral belt.
Sam Case is extracting good ore
from the Homestake.
Joe Lang is prospecting his mines
and they look well.
The Valcalda-brothers are running
the OHale mill IN ore from their
mines and are doing well.
Louis Teitjsn went up on the hill a
couple of weeks ago to take chargeof
the Silver Peak mines, and has a
large assortment of holes on hand.
Whether there is anything in them
but air do not know, but if there
is ore he will find it.
The 6oys at Aida are still taking
out rich silver ore and praying for
the passage of the Dingley bill to
raise the price of wool, They want
to buy sheep with their silver, and
the rise in wool will bring 1T up to
par. Mckinley pulled the wool over
their eyes last Fall, and they want to
get even.
Fred Vollmer is repairing bis little
mill and will start up shortly.
The miners of lower Tule Canyon
are doing well. There is too much
snow at the upper end for them to
work the placer mines.
The owners of mines in the White
Mountains. above Fish Lake valley,
are to begin work as soon as the
snow goes off. There are some fine
mines there Of lead, silver and gold.
In fact, the gold is what they rely on
for profit.
There is nothing going on south OF
Aida. Montgomery district has been
in the hands Of tough outfit, judg.
ing by the reports, and nothing can
be expected as long as men are paid
of with a couple OF shots from a gun
and no returns ever come from work
ing the ore. Brigham Young's ghost
walks in that country and the Gentle
has reason to fear, Some OF Briggs
destroying angels were here lew
weeks ago, end it looked as though q
murder would be committed at any
time for two days. We needed an
officer and a,Justice then, aud il there
had been, one we should have had
some fun. Maybe their next visit
wont be so hilarious, but we would
he glad to see them come. There is
no wall around the Peak.
The Fish Lake farmers are putting
in their cFops and their fruit pros
poets are good. VOLCANO.
