AS TO SHERIFF LEWIS SALARY
MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS Arr
INSTITUTED.
Remuneration For Feeding U. S.
Prisoners the Point at Issue
District Court Orders and Notes.

Some time ago the county commits
sioners made a demand upon Sheriff
Lewis that he turn over to the county
one-third of the money received by him
from the United States government for
feeding United States prisoners in the
county jail. The government pays %
cents meal to the sheriff for feeding
it's prisoners and the county commits
sioners think that as the county fur
nishes utensils, heat, Wafer and a place
to work in, the county is entitled to
one-third of the amount paid by the
government for that service and made
demand on the sheriff for the same.
1t is said the sheriff has received about
S70O on that account since he went into
office.
Mr. Lewis refused to turn over any
of the money so received, claiming that
by law and precedent he is entitled to
the whole of the cash thus earned. The
county commissioners then refused to
appropriate Lewis salary for the
months of September and October and
yesterday Lewis filed a petition in the
Third district court praying that writ
of mandate issue to compel Auditor
Game to issue warrants for the amount
of his salary, $3.50 a month, for the
months Of September and October.
Judge Cherry ordered the writ to is
sue and made it returnable for argu-
ment next Saturday before Judge
HileS.

Gains-To Increase Mill Capacity
Big Deal In Contemplation.

The electric fluid was turned on at
the new mill of the Overland Mining
company on Friday of last week, and
the machinery of this splendid plant
was given a trial run.
1t was not the intention of the COM
pany 20 start UP its mill until after
the arrival of its electric hoist from
Chicago, but advices received last week
were TO the effect that the plant had
not even been shipped, for which rea-
son it was decided to make run any
way, so as to be in shape to begin work
at full capacity as soon as the new
works should be received and installed,
the steam hoist at the mine being IN
condition so that from $50 TO 200 tons
can be hoisted daily.
The machinery OF the mill, according
&c The Herald's informant. started up
without a hitch, running as smoothly
and evenly as if it had been in sue
cessful operation for q month or more,
and the officers OF the company are
highly pleased with the initial run, 1t
beng the intention to begin the t1lilng
of the bins with ore tomorrow or next
day, Manager Gill S. Peyton going out
the middle Of the week TO load the
tanks with pulp and to start preeioI-
tation.
The mine is in splendid condition;

GOLD FROM THE BIG FOUR,
Eigh-grade Mineral Comes From
Humboldt County In Nevada.

Humboldt County In Nevada.
V. L. Rose, one of the active and
prominent mining operators of Hum
boldt county, Nevada, is in the city
with shipment of ore, as mentioned
in these columns a day or two ago.
This ore, which is a high-grade gold
mineral. comes from the Big Four
mine, which is located about five miles
east of Humboldt, The control assays
on the lot showing gold values of Sl60
to the ton, besides a small percentage
IN silver.
In speaking of the Big Four, Mr..
Rose informed The Herald that in the
workings OF this mine he has disclosed
a body of from 70 Is inches of this
grade and character of ore. while in
the vain occasional pockets, containing
100 o. 500 pounds Of mineral, have been
found, the pockets occurring every 16
To is feet, the quartz from which is
profusely sprinkled with the yellow
metal in its native state; and while no
assays have been made of this rich
truck, experienced mining men esti-
mate that ii viii carry from $4,000 TO
$50, 900 to the ton in gold, specimens of
the ore exhibited by Mr.. Rose being
fairly covered with bright, yellow gold

as il is taken out, and in the future
Salt Lakers need not be surprised to
hear of shipment Of ore from the
Big Four the returns from which will
make a bank account the possession
OF which would make any man indie
pendently rich.
Mr.. Rose Will work this property all
winter, although, on account of the
approach of winter and snow, he may
not be able to make but one more con-
Signment before next spring.
When asked why he shipped to Salt
Lake rather than to the coast, Mr.. Rose
replied that il was because Salt Lake
furnished a better market, and that
the buyers here paid him more for his
ore than he could get in San Francisco.
Not far from Humboldt there are big
sulphur deposits, which are being
worked by residents of Winnemucca,
who are keeping from u to Is teams
on the road -freighting this commodity
to the railroad, while within 60 miles
of Humboldt there are big deposits Of
borax, which are being extensively and
protftably worked.
Twenty miles west Of Humboldt there
are large deposits of copper-bearjDg
ore, the values Of which run as high
as Il per cent in this metal. Mr.. Rose
and his associates are interested in
claims on this copper belt. and he
states that the annual assessment work
upon them has also been completed
On the same belt thare is a group of

The advance of the Columbia in

was discovered in the Rosa, and it was
not until the middle of February of the
present year that the company was
formed and the work of DEVELOPMENT
commenced. Since that time several
shipments of high grade ore have been
made, and about 10000 tons of good
milling ore similar to that being leach
ed at the Chloride Point has been
blocked out.
During the week an important strike
has been made in a cross-cut from the
east drift in the Rosa. A four-foot
vein of solid high grade ore has been
uncovered. which gives good evidence
of permanency. The strike is in keep

In the shaft of the Columbia a depth
