sILVER CITY NOTES.
Review of Operations at the Rich
Tintic Camp.

Tintic Camp.
The Silver City Star gives the fol-
lowing review of operations at that
Tintic camp:
William Gundry has taken sub
lease on the Star Consolidated ana
starts to work today.
The Swansea commenced loading a
new shipment of ore Wednesday, which
will go out in a day or two.
The Sunbeam is taking out consider
able ore which shows pay value in sill
Yer. copper and lead. A shipment is
promised within a few days.
superintendent Price of the Alaska
reports that as yet there is nothing
definite in regard to starting up that
property. but that operations will ce:-
tainly be commenced in very few
days.
The Homestake mine is reported IS
looking exceptionally well. and lors OF
ore is reported on the 3OO-foot level
Regular shipments are confidently pre-
dicted at Silver City after the next few
weeks.
-Four men are now at work eli the
Martha Washington, cutting 4 staten
on the $50 level. 1t is probable ti.at a
drift will be run at once on this level,
where there is a good showing of ore
in the vein.
The Dragon Iron mine Recommended
shipments in a small way this week,
sending out two carloads. We are adj
vised that shipments for the present
will only aggregate from three to four
carloads weekly.
E. n. Jenkins is arranging to put
vhim on the Boss Tweed at once. The
60-foot shaft near the mouth of the
tunnel will be sunk, and Mr.. Jenkins
advises us that the showing of ore is
such as to justify him in the belief
that regular ore shipments can short
" be commenced.
Superintendent Marx of the Black
Dragon advises us that the crosscut on
the 425-foot level is now 10 feet across
the vein without reaching the wall. Pay
streaks show all through the vein, with
gold and copper predominating. Mr..
Marx expresses the greatest confidence
in the good future of the Black Dragon.
which confidence we believe is justified
by the property.
George S. Hays and Robert Taylor,
who recently acquired the former prop
erty of the Triumph Consolidated Min
ing company on a judgment for wages
and are now working the ground, made
an important ore strike this week at a
depth of $50 feet An average sample
of a ten-inch streak shows values of
80 u ounces silver. II per cent lead and
SLIGO in gold. They report sufficient
quantities of the ore to enable them to
make a shipment in a very short
time.

fore Judge Norrell.


The trial of Charlotte z. Edwards on
a charge of grand larceny occupied al
most the entire day in Judge Norrelrs
court and was not concluded at ad-
journing time. Assistant County At
torney Putnam prosecuted and Mrs

The information charged that Mrs.

stolen was brought into court, and cur
tains. rugs, spoons, forks and a great
variety of other articles were Uttered
about the floor.
Mrs. Frees was the first witness
called for the prosecution. Her direct
examination did not occupy very long,
but Mr.. Taylor crOss-examined her for
hours Detective Sheets then took the
stand and testified to Selling the goods
by virtue of q search warrant, and to
arresting the defendant Sheets was
also subjected 10 a minute cross
examination by General Taylor, and
the hearing was slowly proceeding

WOLF PEST IN THE WEST.

The wolf question is one of the most Sc
rious which confronts the ranchman of
the west. People who live in cities know
little and think little about it. They are
so busy guarding themselves against the
wolves in tailor-made clothes that they
have little leisure to devote to considering
the four-legged kinds. The annual loss
from these pests in any of the western
states Will run far into the thousands OF
dollars, however. Montana, Wyoming.
Washington, Oregon. Idaho, Nevada. the
DakOtas, New Mexico, Arizona, all that
vast stretch of sagebrush land that lies
within smelling distance of the Rockies,
is ravaged from end to end by the most
voracious of our wild animals. The loss
in Montana alone last winter from wolves
was more than 100000.
They have not been exterminated or
kept within reasonable bounds because of
lack of concert on the part of the western
states. If Montana offers SO for the scalp
of a full -grown wolf and s. for the scalp
of a coyote. while Wyoming offers g for
a wolf scalp and 81 for a coyote scalp. all
of the wolf scaips and coyote scalps taken
in Wyoming will be shipped into Montana
and the higher boUnties collected. II has
been suggested that the difficulty could
be smOothed by a great interstate conven-
ton to fix a uniform rate and urge the
passage of suitable laws by respective leg
islatures. Possibly it could. If it were
