J. M. Campbell and X. w. Apsey,
who own six claims in Churchill
District, about nine miles northeast
of Wabuska, have done the assess
ment work on the claims tor this
year, and in doing this work ledge
of four feet in width was struck in

gold and silver, the ore going s42 in
gold and 50 in silver at depth of
ITO feet. In the Last Chance claim,
down distance of I4o feet, the own
ers have three foot ledge which
produces ore going S3s per ton in
gold. Not much work has been done
on the other claims, but the assess
ment work shows up some very fair
prospects, the rock going from SIS to
$40 in gold. Preparations are being
made to do some more work on these
claims and the owners expect to ex-
tract ore. The claims are quite a

7. A. Cresson came into town from
the ranch upon which he is working
last Sunday, and after taking in the
sights during the day engaged a
couple of Piute guides to show him
the balance of the piece by night.
His dusky friends piloted him
around to one or two Piute camps,
and when they got him into field at
the upper end of town they held
him up and went through his pock-
cts. The Indians secured $I.2S and
II fla SIX of whisky, but did not dis
turb check Mr.. Cresson fortunate
ly did not get cashed that day. Cres-
son came to town after he was rob-
bed and made complaint, and Dep

morning they had hearing before
Justice Patterson, acknowledged
their guilt and were taken to Day
ton and placed IN Jail to await the
action of the grand Jury.
