De Lamar's Nevada Gold Mining Co.
for damages for the loss OF leg, sus.
tained In an accident In the De Lamar
mine, was set for trial on the 18th inst,
before the U. s. District Court at Car
son. Mr.. Grunditz, accompanied by
his attorney, F. x. Murphy, and by
Geo. and Ernest Paul, witnesses in the
case left for Carson last Saturday even
Ing, via Eureka. Mr.. Murphy expects
TO be back In time to attend Court here.
Dave bennett returned here on Tues
day from long prospecting trip thro'
Nye and Esmeralda counties and Inyo
county In California. He reports hav-
ing discovered two promising copper
prospects, during his wanderings, and
would now be in clover II there were
only railroad within easy reach, so
that the ore could be shipped at reason
able rates. After completing the ASSESS
ment on his claims here, he expects to
return to the South to further develop
his new discoveries.
Our fellow townsman, John Weber,
Democratic nominee for Secretary Of
State, has no cause to complain OF the
vote which he received In the eastern
counties OF the State. He carried Elko,
Eureka, White Pine and Lincoln eoun-
ties by large plurallties and outran
every other Democrat on the ticket,
even Russell in his own county. Had
he been better known In the western
part OF the State, the result might have
been quite different. Mr.. Weber feels
highly gratified at the manner In which
his friends stood by him at the polls.
In the last Sentinel, Chas Cook pub
fishes card In which he declares that
certain statements in our last issue con-
corning the buck board service between
Pallsade and Eureka were>false. Any
misrepresentation we may have m Ide
were entirely unintentional but We 90
not feel inclined to retract what We have
said in the face OF complete lack Of
evidence TO disprove our position. AS
long as the Eureka mail arrives as reg
ularly as it has in the past ten days, we
have no kick to make and to further
prolong this controversy would be both
useless and tiresome.
l.. Barnum, who has been employed
for many years on the White River
ranch, came in from Lund last Monday
for load OF supplies. and among other
things, drills, powder and fuse TO be
used in quarrying rock for -four mill.
This mill was guaranteed to the settlers
by the managers Of the colony and
work upon 1t will be commenced at
once. Il will be located at Preston, or
what was formerly known as the Mat
took ranch.
The raising of wheat viii probably
be the principal industry of the colony
and when converted into -four, IL will
find home market fully capable of alb
sorbing the entire production.
VIM. S. Brown and John Heinrich
of Mercur, Utah, and Directors OF the
North Mountain Mining Co. at Egan
Canyon, came In from Cherry Creek on
Sunday evening, and put in the next
day examing a number OF properties in
Robinson district under the guidance
of John Nicholas, They came back
heavily laden with samples which we
hope they viii find sufficiently valuable
TO induce them TO invest a little capital
in this camp. There is without ques-
ton an almoat limltless amount of low
grade ore here that could be success
fully cyanided, and as that Is the pro
cess with which these gentlemen have
had remarkable success, we are very
likely TO hear more from them.
