Great Ledge Uncovered
Seven Miles From
CaStella.
Assays Show the Ore to Yield
From $500 to $1,000 to
the Ton.
Prospectors Rush In and Stake Out
Claims Around the New
Bonanza.

DUNSMUIR, CAL, Sept. ia gold
discovery of great importance to this part
of the State was made last week on Castle
Creek, seven miles west of Gas ella. The
ledge il about four feet wide and runs
from $500 10 $1,000 10 the ton in free gold.
Some specimens taken from the ledge will
run 1000 to the ton.
Chunks of rock as big as water-b bucket
have been on exhibition at Castella for
the past week. They surprise even old
prospt ctors who are familiar with rich
specimens. There are pieces of the rock
exhibited in the DunsmCir News office
that will run from 500 or $500 TO the ton,
and they were taken from the vein by the
editor of the paper. This gold is all fine
and distributed through the quartz. One
can take a small piece OF the rock, show
ing no gold to the naked eye, pound it up
and it Will leave a string OF fine gold all
the wav round the pan.
This new strike was made by W. II.
Mullen and John Watts 1t is situated
on the north side of Castle Creek. directly
back of Castle Rocks, and is about two
miles this side OF the Boulder mines. 1t
IS in the extreme northwest corner OF
Shasta County. Watts had been pros
pecting for some time, and his partner,
Mullen, was cooking at the Altoona and
putting up the grubstake. Watts saw he
had good ledge, so he sent for Mullen TO
ioin him, and it was after going IN on IL
few feet that they discovered 1t was so
rich.
AS soon as the news reached Castella
everybody rushed in and made locations.
John Morawetz and Louis Hauch located
on both sides of the discovery; H. o.
y a nj cd
all around them. Within a few days pros
pectors came in from all directions, and
all the claims within two miles of the dis
coyery are now Located.
The formation is a coarse granite and
the quartz is found in porphyritic ande-
site. The ledge runs east and west
Mullen and Watts are in only about zen
feet and do not know yet just how wide it
is. The whole tunnel is in quartz and the
hanging and loot walls are porphyry, so
they have not touched the country rock
at any place. This porphvry, or andesite,
pans out well in gold. 1t is about the
same formation as that of the rich mines
at Cripple Creek. Colorado.
The ledge points toward the Boulders
and is probably the same as the body of
quartz found at that place, or the same
string of lodges. The other end of the
ledge runs into the huge gIanite peaks OF
Castle Rocks.
Mullen and Watts estimate that they
have $4,000 in sight, SO they are in no
hurry 10 sell ut small figure. A mining
expert who was lii the Coffee Greek
section heard of this discovery and
reached there a few days aga. After
san pling the ore to his satisfaction he
asked the owners bow much they would
take for the property. They said $50, 900.
He told them to not do any thing with it
until they heard from him at Chicago,
intimating that they might effect sale al
that figure.

WILD HORSES 4 NUISANCE.
Large Bands Roaming the arizona Cattle
Country.


PHOENIX, ARIz., Sept. 13.-Wild horses
have become very great nuisance
in Nor hern Arizona. Information to this
effect was received to-day by Attorney
General Frazier in a letter from Livestock
Inspector Mark Harper, whose station is
Fred onla, Coconino County, a settlement
on Kanah Creek, three miles south OF the
Utah line.
That vicinity has been overrun by lareg
bands OF wild horses. numbering hun
dreds of animals, unclaimed and IN
branded, and with little if any value. De-
casionaIly some horse in band will be
run down, saddled and broken for use,
but the trouble is worth more than the
horse; so the animals increase in mum Der
and have become wilder than deer. and
vicious as we'll. Cow ponies turned out
out Oil the range to Craze are often cap
turei by those rowing bands and either
maltreated or run off 10 become mem bers
OF the herd.
The stock inspector asks whether the
wild horses may not be legally slaugat-
cred, as they have no owners and are pests
to the farmer and the cattle-owner. The
matter has been referred to the Livestock
Board

was at home alone, and hearing footsteps
on the front porch went to the door to in
vestigate. She found a well-dressed man,
who was selling eyeglasses and other

very busy, but he refused to leave until
she had bought something. she would
buy nothing and insisted upon his leaving
the house.
The stranger grew insolent, and STEP
ping threatening y toward her said:
"Well, l have TO leave town on the II
o'clock train, and | haven't had anything
to eat"
Mrs. Abrego said she could not give him
q meal as there was no fire IN the Kitchen;
but tue peddler insisted and growing
holder demanded that she should help
him. She was greatly frightened, but not
losing her presence of mind, she asked II
he wanted mouey 10 buy meal with.
When he answered Eyes" she left the
room o>tensbly to get ii. but when she
returned instead of the money she pointed
a revolver at the peddler, saying:
''Leave the house Immediately or / will
shoot
The peddler i'd as he was bid and lost
no time about it, yelling at the top of his
lungs as he ran. He has not been heard of
since.
Mrs. Abrego was Miss Leese before her
marriage, and as granddaughter OF Cen
eral Vale 10 inherits the bravery she ex
hlbited in her startling situat on.

that soon had Becker groggy. The ref.
cree, to avoid a knockout, declared Erne

DESERTED HIS BRIDE.
Cunningham Kissed Ills Wife at the AL
 tar, Then Left Her.


 Trenton, Oct 20-Matthew Cunning ham yesterday afternoon married Ella Reed and then sprinted to the railroad station and jumped on a passing train. Ella Reed, with her bridesmaids, fol- lowed, yelling:
 Stop that man! He is going to de- sert mel"
 Even Justice Van Nest. who tied the knot, was in the chase. Cunningham kept his promise to Ella Reed and then left town.
 Cunningham halls from Nova Scotia. He went to Hightstown to better his prospects and fell in love with Mrs. Reed, who was a trifle older than he was. Mrs. Reed had come from Vir- ginia to better her prospects also.
 Cunningham agreed to marry Mrs. Reed. He postponed the wedding sew eral times because he did not have the price of the feast. She forced the issue, and the two, with a group of friends, repaired to Justice Van Nests office, where they were united.
 Cunningham appeared to enjoy the ceremony and kissed the bride cordial ly. after which the party started for home to have the wedding breakfast. The morning train had just pulled into the station. Cunningham heard the conductor shout "All aboard!" and ran. So did the bride, but she was fat, and he ran best. The bridal party followed. and Justice Van Nest brought up the rear.
 Cunningham reached the depot as the train pulled out. He bounded onto the back platform and yelled:
 "Goodby, sweetheart, goodbyl"
 The bride became hysterical and was taken home in a carriage. She says she doesn't know why she was deserted.
