near the line of the Pilot Knob, a Sec
ond shaft has been sunk 10 feet, on a
5-foot ledge of gray quartz which is
apparently an ofi-shoot from the main
ledge. The gold in this ledge is free
and assays as high as s25 to the ton. On
the Pilot Knob, no work has been done
this winter, but whore the incline was
discontinued last fall, the roof is in free
milling ore from which a recent assay
showed over 500 to the ton.
One of the most striking features of
these mines is the regularity OF the
formations. With Mr. Geo. Paul, one
OF the owners, we tramped over the
entire group of seven claims which they
hold by right Of location or by bonds.
There are groupings of quartz carrying
gold to be found on every one, though
little development work has been at
tempted, except that mentioned above.
Two ledges are particularly prominent
the Texas and Pilot Knob, parallel to
one another at a distance of about 500
feet. Their strike is to the northwest
and southeast, and evidently extend in
to the Morris, owned by r. A. Riepe.
Between the lodges is reef oflimestone
on the east Is shale and then granite,
on the west is porphyry. All OF these
formations dip toward the southwest.
Copper IS also present in this won-
derfully mineralized belt. Especially
at the northern end of the group on the
Taylor and Schley claims the groupings
look particularly promising, though lit
tie work has been done. The discovery
of rich copper last week at depth of
100 #. on the Morris at the other end
of the group, lends further evidence to
the theory that, when depth is att&sned
an immense copper mine viii be opened
up.
The owners, Samuel Paul and his
sous, are pushing development as fast
as four men can do it. They have a
complete assay outfit on the ground,
presided over by Mr. Paul, who is an
experienced and reliable assayer. We
hope they will be fully rewarded 70
their energy and perseverance by the
development of the biggest bonanza in
the State.

state that the boys have taken up eight
claims and number OF our citizens
have been located in. At the point of
discovery the pay-streak is reported to
be inches wide. Tie ore is a white
quartz filled with cube iron, in which
the gold is imbedded.
Sol Hip and family babe final adieux
to their friends here last week, and de-
parted Saturday morning for their fu-
ture home at Reno. That both Mr..
and Mrs. Hip will be greatly missed
here, whore they have spent so many
OF the best years of their lives, goes
without saying. Sol came to Ward in
the year 1876, and since that time, has
been one of the best known business
men in the county, having moved with
the fortunes OF the camps, to Taylor
and afterwards TO Ely. Mrs. Hip has
lived in the county since her girlhood,
and has always been prominent in So
cial and religious work. The good
wishes OF wide circle OF friends fol-
low them to their new home, whore
we trust they win enjoy long and
prosperous future.
d. c. Mcdonald and Walter Rynear-
son left Monday morning with wagon
load of provisions and supplies, for a
protracted stay in what they have
christened Cocomungo mining district,
about go miles south of here in Lincoln
county, on Patterson mountain. 1t
was here that they discovered two
years ago four-foot ledge OF dry silver
ore that averages fully 100 ounces per
ton. II Is the intention of the owners
to continue the development OF the
claims, on which there is already a
shaft 20 feet deep, and II capital cannot
be secured TO build a milling plant at
the mine, they propose to take out ore
and ship 1t by way OF the new Utah &
Pacific railroad. The wagon haul will
not exceed 80 miles and the valuo Of the
ore Is sufficient to cover all expenses and
still leave a neat margin OF profit.

Germany Didn't Like 1t.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The Ger
man Government has entered formal
protest against the language used by
Captain Coghlan of the Raleigh, at the
Union League Club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hav through the German Embas-
sador. Herr Won Holeben. Secl etary
HAY replied that the language appeareg
to have been used ri a dinner, aud could
not he considered or regarded as an Of
fetal or public utterance in the sense
that would warrant the state Depart
ment in acting. However, the Navy
Department was fully competent to take
such action as the case seemed 10 re-
qulre.
With this statement the Embassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless wait a reasonable length
Of time upon the Navy Department.
Captain Coghlan's offense was to re-
/ late how Admiral Dewey put stop &c
the interference of the German Admir-
al In Manila Bay.

BURNED TO THB STAKE.
Horrible Work OF Mob in West
ern Georgia.

PALMETTO, (Ga.l April 2i.-The
body of Lige Strickland, the negro i'm
plicated by Sam Hose in the killing Of
Alfred Canford, was found swinging to
a limb OF tree about one mile from
town this morning. The ears and fin
gers were cut of, and on the body WAS
pinned plaeard bearing these words.
I'VE must protect our Southern
women.
Strickland was negro minister go
years OF age. Sam Hose, just as the
torch was about to be applied to the
pile of wood under him yesterday, ad-
mitted that he had killed Crawford, but
said Strickland had given him twelve
dollars to do the deed.
The confession Of Hose caused great
excitement, and a crowd of men left for
the home OF Major Thomas, where
Strickland works, and at dusk took the
negro from the place and brought him
into town.
A couple of farmers coming into town
this morning reported finding the body
of Strickland hanging from the limb Of
tree and shockingly mutiated. The
city marshall summoned two deputies
and drove to the scene. The body OF
Strick land was secured ana brought
here Tor inquest.

cle of the oath tells OF an atrocity by

A TREASURE HILL IN WEST
CAMP.
Immense Bodies OF Gold Ore in
Sight.

An outing was taken by the NEWS
force last Thursday TO visit the mines
of West Camp and to take note OF the
development work that has been done
especially on the Texas and Pilot Knob
claims. We found all of the reports
that have been recently published in
this paper concerning the character
and extent of the ore bodies exposed on
these properties to be fully verified.
On the Texas, to which the owners
have confined most of their work since
January 20th, the shaft has been sunk
to a depth of so IT, and neatly cribbed
from top to bottom. In addition to
this, fully s5 feet of drifts have been
run from the bottom across the ledge,
all of which, with the exception of per-
haps II feet OF barren rock, carries
values in gold ranging from a trace to
$40 ton. The ledge can be traced the
entire length of the claim on the sur
face and thus assumes immense proper
tions. The foot-wall is lime, but the
hanging has not yet been reached,
but from surface indications will be por-
phyry. The rich streak encountered
near the surface in the shaft lies close
to the hanging wall aud has not yet been
cut by the drift below but It's groupings
have been uncovered for distance OF
25 feet from the shaft and some of this
ore win be taken out at once for ship
ment.
The varieties OF ore in this mine are
50 different and so numerous that II
would require an expert mineralogist
to fully describe them. There Is de-
composed white quartz, grey quartz,
iron stained quartz, and peacock ironi
while the richest ore is OF bright rec
color, probably an oxide OF iron. The
gold is only partially free, but woulC
no doubt yield readily to the oyanid'
treatment.

AMERICAN TROOPS AGAIN AD-
VANclNG,

MANILA, April 24.-General Hale at
1 o'clock this afternoon had crossed the
Bagbag and has reached a position a
quarter of a mile from Calumpit, thus
commanding the ford. Prisoners cap
tured by General Hale's troops say
Aguinaldo, General Luna and the Fill
pno staff are at Calumpit with great
force of Filipino troops.
Before daylight the Fourth Cavalry,
with three guns belonging to the Utah
Battery, the Nebraska Regiment and
the Iowa Regiment, under Hale, were
proceeding in the direction of Kuinchua
where the river is fordable, but COM
manded ~ trenches.
During the afternoon the troops eros
sed the river. Generals Macarthur and
Wheaton, with the Montana regiment,
advanced to the left of the railroad and
the Kansas regiment moved forward TO
the right, north of Malolos. They had
with them long supply train with two
armed cars in front carrying two Cat
ling and Colts rapid-fre guns and the
six-pounder which did such execution
at the capture of Malolos.
The insurgents attempted to destroy
their bridge outside of Calumplt and
succeeded in badly warping the iron
framework. AS soon as the soldiers
left the Filipino capital, the natives be-
gan flocking in, as they did at Santa
Cruz before the last boat OF General
LaNton's expedition had sailed.
