CLEANING OUT THE J0ANA.
Eastern Capitalists After Anoth-
er Mine Here.

Sol Hip, State Live Stock Inspector,
arrived here from Reno last Thursday
on business connected with his mining
interests in this camp. He has put hve
men to work, cleaning out the old work
ings of the Joana mine, of which he Is
the largest owner, and proposes to put
il into shape so that its ore bodies can
be readily sampled. Mr., Hip is nego-
tiating with eastern parties for the sale
of the property aud expects that eX
perts will arrive here within the next
two weeks to make an examination.
The Joana was productive oil some
sensationally rich free milling gold ore
during its early history and was for
years considered TO be the leading gold
mine of the camp. The character OF
the ores changed with depth, becoming
too base for successful amalgamation,
and at that time the cyanide process
was unknown. The property also be-
came involved in litigation and every
thing combined to keep IL In idleness
for long time past. The position OF
the mine between the Robust and
Chairman groups is now attracting at
tention again in its direction, the litiga-
tion has been long since settled and
there is no reason apparent why, with
intelligent development and suitable
reduction plant, it should not rank up
with either of its neighbors.

WORK AT THE ROBUS ST.
Orc Struck in the New Shaft.

The new shaft on the Robust broke
into ore the first of the week at depth
of little over 100 feet from the sur
face and the bottom is now all in ore.
Superintendent Marx showed Us big
chunk from the new find, which is
identical in character with the richest
ore yet uncovered in the property. As
the new shaft is at least 200 feet fur
thor south than the most southerly
point of the old workings, this dis
covery Is sufficient proof that the ledge,
which has already been drifted on for
800 feet, is continuous in that direction.
The grading Of the site for the new
mill is about complete and the building
OF foundations and retaining walls Is
now well under way, The big crop
ping that capped the hill above the
millsite was blown down with dynamite
last Sunday evening TO furnish the neo'
essary rock. The first load OF machln-
cry for the mill came in from Toano
yesterday.

LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
CONDITION AT PEKING UN-
CHANGED.
Chinese Threaten to Cut Allies
Commune a tions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The State
Department makes public the follow
ing dispatch from Minister Conger, re-
ceiyed this morning:
"Taku, Aug 27.-No important de-
velopments since last dispatch. The
military is trying to restore order. No
representative of the Chinese govern
ment has been encountered yet. Sew
eral ministers of the Tsung Ii Yamen
are reported in the city, and are ex-
pected to appear soon. The Generals
have decided not to enter the imperial
palace, leaving it practically vacant.
Tive thousand Germans arrived here
to-day
LONDON, Aug. 27.-There is abso-
lutely no truth in the dispatch from
Chefoo of August 24th saying it was
rumored there ION good authority
that Russia, Germany and Japan had
declared war against China, and had
invited Great Britain and the United
States to retire from that country. In
quiries made at st. Petersburg, Berlin
and Toxic show the report was rejected
at those capitals as unworthy of notice.
A dispatch from Toxic says General
Yamaguiche reports that the Chinese
have not abandoned hope of retaking
Pekin, and that 1900 men with fifteen
guns were advancing toward Pekin
from Shan Tun, probably intending to
cut jhe allies communications.

son started in pursuit and succeeded in
tracking his man up to the power ditch
on the hill behind the Jail and thence
to Hayes lumber yard, where he nailed
the runaway hidden among the lumber
piles and escorted him back to jail.
Miss Clara Paul arrived here early
on Tuesday morning from San Fran
cisco, having been summoned on ac-
count of the dangerous illness of her
brother, Chas. Pritehard. Mr.. Prit-
ehard s condition is constantly chang
ing for the worse and his friends have
given up all hope of his recovery.
Will Moorman spent couple of days
in town last week, having come over to
get new spring wagon which he re-
Gently purchased in Salt Lake. His
many friends here were greatly pleased
to note the great improvement in his
health since he was last among us. His
sister, Miss Maud, who visited here for
several days, returned home with him.
Alta meeting of the Democratic Coun-
ty Central Committee, held last Satur-
day at l.. c. Weber's Office, the follow
inc gentlemen were chosen as delegates

cratic State convention, which meets

Gilbert of Spring valley, J. c. Raper

The party of experts whom we men
toned last week as coming to sample
the Chairman mine in behalf OF the
New York crowd that recently tied up
the property, arrived ON time last
Thursday and Immediately proceeded
to business. They have taken com
plete possession Of the mine and assay
Office and are engaged in making ex-
haustive tests OF the ore. Another
week will probably be required to com
plete the work, which has thus far
progressed favorably, and great conf
dence is felt here as to the final outcome.
Considerable alarm was caused In
Lane City last Monday afternoon by
fire in the brush on the Hat just below
the town. The wind was blowing up
the canyon and for "a short time there
was some danger of the flames sweep
ing the town as the brush is very tall
and thick. Help was summoned by
telephone from Ely aud number OF
men promptly responded, but the fire
had been extinguished before they ar
rived on the scene. The incident serves
as caution against starting fires in the
brush near town during this dry and
windy weather and also calls attention
to the wisdom OF clearing the brush |
away to safe distance from all build
ings which might be endangered.

We take pleasure in voluntarily ex-
pressing our favorable opinion of
Dr. r f. Brewer as physician and as
a gentleman. If no other proof of his
ability was accessible, the fact alone
would have much weight, that he has
made visits regularly for years. and
succeeded in building sp successful
practice where SO many pretenders have
failed. We do not count the doctor as
travelling physician since his appoint
ments are so regularly kept. As bust
ness man, in his dealings with the Press
we have all found him prompt, courteous
and obliging, ever ready to fulfill his
share of the contract and setting a
good example to the many jugglers who
wander the country over, calling them
selves physicianstD. DR.. Brewer must
not be COMPOUNDED with these. We
would advise all suffering from any
chronic disease to lose no time in CON
sulting DR. Brewer, who will make his
next visit to Viroqua Hotel in this city
on Wednesday, Aug. 22nd.
