Early yesterday morning the Palace
gambling house of Phenix was held up
by two masked men. One of the men
held the dealers and gamblers at

the contents of a couple of the games

stood them off until two policemen

Charles E. Sherman Monday last
brought to the sampler several tons of
copper ore from the Copper Age mine
at Mineral Park. The claim so far has
had very little work done on it. Many
years ago shaft was sunk in a break
in the ledge to depth of thirty feet,
but the ore taken out was too low in
value to handle and the claim was
abandoned. Since Mr. Sherman located
the lead he has run crosscut across
eight feet of ore carrying silver, gold
and lead and four feet carrying good
value in copper. From the crosscut
five tons of lead ore carrying values of
30 per cent lead, 55 ounces of silver and
d ounce gold was taken out. The vein
is big aud strong on the surface and
ought to be bonanza.

Hook, but owing to light winds and
calms the boats failed to run through
the course within the time limit. The

lead when the race was declared off.
Thursday the race was declared off
for the same cause. The yachts had
about the same relative distance be
tween them as in the Tuesdays race.
The yachts got away in good shape
in today's race. The wind was good at
the start and the Columbia took a big
lead to the stakeboat. but the wind
died away aud the boats failed to fin.
