BLOWN UP IN MINE.
Accident at the Verde Property in Which
George elandon is Injured-will Prob
ably Lose Both Eyes, Quick Fuse the
Cause.

Last Saturday, George Glandon.
who is working on the Verde shaft,
about six miles south of Battle
was blown up in the shaft, infict-
ing injuries to his head which will
cause the loss of one eye and prob
ably both. He had put in five
shots in the bottom of the shaft,
which is about so feet in depth,
and was lighting them with his
hand on the rope SO the men at
the top could windlass him out
when he gave the word. Before
he had finished lighting the five
shots, the first shot which was lit
exploded. blowing Glandon 10 or
20 feet up the shaft. He did not
lose consciousness and when he
struck the bottom of the shaft
grabbed the rope and called to
the men at the top to pull him
up. He was in bad shape but
hung to the rope with his hands
while the men at the top drew
him up. He is bruised up in
fearful shape and is in a serious
condition but it is thought he
will recover.
1t is probable the accident was
caused by a quick fuse.

LAKE CREEK RANCH SOLD,
Old Brauer Place, Three Miles North Of
Saratoga, on Lake Creek, s'ld 70 Q. N.
Soribner for $500.

On Monday the papers we're
signed, whereby l.. S. Trapp sold
to G. NJ. Scribner the Old Brauer
place, situated on Lake creek.
three miles north of Saratoga.
The deal embraces $50 acres of
land. some leased land and a num-
her of head of horses. The con-
sideration wa $500.
The Brauer place is historical. in
that it was one of the first place
settled on when this valley was
opened. William Brauer, a hunt
er for the old Overland Stage
Company. built a cabin on the
spot and lived there for nearly 30
years. Every old timer in the
country knew Billy Brauer and
he was one of the most generally
liked ne in this entire valley.
Always upright and honorable in
his dealings. quiet and peaceable
in mature, he vas a general favor
lite. Several years ago he leased
his ranch and moved to Idaho,
where he has continued to reside.
Two or three years ago he dispos-
ed of the place to Prof. l.. >.
Trapp. who used it for a sheep
ranch until a year ago, when he
disposed of his hocks aud has how
parted with the ranch.
Mr.. Scribner has need of the
place for his large freight and
stage outfit, He will put up the
hay which the place yields and
use the large pastures for his
stage and freight horses, of which
he now owns 1873 head.
Prof. Trapp will continue to be
a citizen of Saratoga He says
he has been all over the country
and no where, east or west, north
or south, has he found such a eli
mate as prevails here.

Last week invitations were is
sued to the young people of Sara
toga to attend a picnic to be Civ
en- by the Jollies, on Sunday. 1t
was the intention to start at 6
o'clock in the morning, but as is
usually the case where it is neces-
sary to get a crowd together it
was nearly 8 before the rigs left
town. The large and small coach
had been chartered by the Jollies
to take their guests in and there
we're also a number of private
carriages went out. 1t was be-
tween 8 and 10 when the party
reached the place where they were
going to camp-a lovely place on
the river in what is known as the
Rockford ranch, about IA miles
from Saratoga.
To say hal the entire party en-
ioyed themselves would be putting

was the spread, The girls belong

thing, and there were pickles, OIL
ives, salads, half a dozen different
kinds of meats, cakes and ice
cream, ices, fruits, candy, etc,
galore. And it is hardly neces-
sary to say that the picniceIs did
justice to both the quality and
quantity.
The party started for town
about 5 in the evening, somewhat
tired but feeling in excellent spir-

Boys Outing Party,

Last Saturday a number of the
town boys harnessed a couple of
buros to an old brake wagon and,
taking provisions and bedding,
went over near Elk mountain on
an outing. The buros bore the
names, January and February
January was much the largest,
but February kept up her end of
the whifie in a manner that said
plainly that she regarded herself
as of quite as much importance
as January. The buros looked
like mice hitched to a No. 10
stogy, but they wiggled along at a
fair gait with their pouderous
burden.
Roy Wilson, Henry and George
Farrell and Ed. Epperson made up
the party and they enjoyed the
trip very much.

DR.. Burke Gives Warning.

DIR. Burke. in conversation with
"A representative Of The Sun, ex-
pressed his ice for the SAM
tary condition of the town at the
present time. He said that the
water in the wells here was GER
tainly dangerous aud he recon-
mends hat all water used for
drinking purposes, be boiled at
least ten minutes and then cooled
10y putting ON ice, not by putting
ice i'll it. He says that all wells
should be cleaned out and that all
vaults should be disinfected and
that all rubbish and decayed mat
ter, around dwellings and bust
ness houses, as well as on vacant
lots, should be cleaned up and
hauled away. TIE Doctor says
that a cheap disinfectant can be
made by dissolving three or four
pounds of sulphate of iron in a
tub of water and pouring a quart
of the solution in vaults each day.

G. l.. Wagner ard Osea Nelson,
of the Carbon Timber Company,
passed through here Tuesday.
Mr.. Wagner is General Manager of
the company and was on his way
to the tie camp on the head of thu
South Fork of the Grand Encdmp-
ment. Mr.. Nelson was on his
way to look after the company's
property on Brush creek. Mr..
Wagner stopped off here to see if
anything could be done toward re-
covering from the Government
the money spent in fighting fire
in the timber near their camp.
He says they have had about %
men out for some time, trying to
contine the fire and prevent its
getting into their tie timber. But
the fire had again broken out and
he feared they would not be able
to keep it from sweeping over into
their territory. They have, he
says, about two thousand acres of
land which is covered with fine
timber and if the fire gets into
that they will be seriously dam
aged.

THE RUDFEHA MINING co,
One Of the Finest Properties in the Fer
ris-Haggarty District Sale Of the Ru-
dsfeha Property for s ,ooo. oco Brings
the Mines in That Vicinity. and Es.
peoially the Ruaefeha Mining Company
Into Prominence.

The sale of the Ferris Haggarty
mine for Sl,000,000, which is now
an assured fact, has brought all of
the mining properties adjacent to
that mine into important promin-
ence. From G. d. Dewitt. Sec
rotary of the Rudefeha Mining
company, we have been able to
to gather some important facts
bearing on the claims belonging
to that company, which are on the
same lead and the groupings of
which can be traced TO a direct
connection with the Ferris Hag-
garty mine. Mr.. Dewitt said:-
Our property practically joins
the Ferris aggarty mine, our
side lines being less than 800 yards
from the Ferris aGgarty shaft
house. The outcroppings on the
Rudefeha group are the same as
that on the Ferris Haggarty and
car be distinctly traced on the
surface from one property to the
other. An assay taken from a
depth of four feet, in the Udevelle
shaft, gave S22 in gold and a trace
in copper. Assays made from
samples taken from the same shaft
at a depth of ten feet, gave So in
gold and 8 per cent. in copper.
We think this a very excellent
showing.
1--WE have in Il company some
of the best known business men in
Indiana and their ratings are to
be found in Dunn's and Brad.
streets books. At the last meet
ing of the directors it was decided
TO put a force of men at work on
the property, driving a tunnel.
This tunnel will be 900 feet in
length and will cut the vein at a
depth of 300 feet. Machinery has
been ordered and, if the weather
holds good for 80 days longer, we
will have a go horse power boiler,
an air compressor n two air
drills at work on the tunnel by
the middle of next November.
We have ample funds in the treas
ury to push the work right through
to completion.
Some of the most liberal sub
scribers to the stock of our COM
pany are those who are the best
posted on the situation of these
properties with relation to the
Ferris Haggarty, among whom l.
might mention the names of j. A.
Rendle, &c Miller, c, r. Ferris,
M. w. Dillon, all of whom are
heavy stockholders in the Ferris
Haggarty, Judge o. p. Quintrell
and j. K. Jeffries."

FERRIS AGGARTY
COPPER MINE SOLD.
81, 600, 900 the Price $685. 900 the First
Installment. to be Paid on or Before
September LIST Mine Ordered Closed
Down Pending the Final Transfer.

From Charles p. Clemmons, who
returned home from Rawlins Sat
urday, we learn that the deal he
tween the North American Cop
per Company and the Ferris Hag-
garry Mining Company, whereby
the mine becomes the property of
the former company, has been
closed. Willis George Emerson
and John Nj. Carey, accompanied
by Mr.. Richardson, of the law
firm of Richardson, Patterson &
Richardson. of Denver, met the
officers and stockholders of the
Ferris Haggarty mining company
in Rawlins last Saturday and made
the final arrangements for the
transfer.
j. Z. Davis was appointed a
trustee by the Ferris Haggarty
company, to receive the money
and deliver the deeds to the prop
erty. On Monday the draft for
S250,000 was made by the North
American Copper Company on its
treasurer in New York City and
as soon as the money can be re-
turned to Denver the first pay
menU will be made.
Pending the receipt of this first
payment President |. c. Miller
has ordered the work on the niue
closed down. When the North
American Copper Company come
into possession it will begin at
once to make very extensive i'm
provements in the mine in the
way of development work. The
shaft will be sunk several hundred
feet and levels established every
100 feet. From these levels drifts
will be run and large hodies of
ore blocked out for future use. 1t
will require the expenditure of a
large sum of money to keep the
mine in shape and keep ore block
ed out ready for stopping and hoist
ing to the surface, where it will
be delivered 10 the tramway.
The first movement made by
the new owners will be the estab-
lishment of a large electric light
plant, as all of the work about the
mine will be done by means of
that power from this time on.
A town has been laid out just
below the mouth of the tunnel and
a city is springing up there very
rapidly. 1t will not be very long
until there will be from 1000 to
1000 inhabitants at that place, as
the North American Copper Com
pany Will employ from 600 to
1000 men, which, together with
their wives and families and the
trades people who will flock there
to do business, will make a very
respectable town.

NEVADA.

The following is taken from the
Butte Times of March 29th:
The editor of this newspaper has
been on an extended tour of investi-
CATION among the mines of Nevada
the last four weeks, and having just
returned, says as briefly as space will
permit that Nevada is a mineral
empire, rich beyond the dreams of
avarice Go where you may, about
you on all sides are mountains ribbed
with precious metals, and if they
were but situated in Montana, Mon
tana would be doubly famous. Here
we have the facilities for transport
ing ores at a reasonable figure; there
they have no transportation facilities
unless at exorbitant rates. The
Southern Pacific railway company
has made Nevada real desert, dor
mant and non productive. This cor
poration has the State by the neck,
throttling the very life out of it. But
the time will come when this corpo-
ration will have competition. Other
roads as capable as the Southern
Pacific will release it from its slavery,
and then will Nevada blossom as it
ought to-''like the ose''-but not
till then

A California illus trated paper sends
its correspondents over here to write
up the resources of the State. They
procure the biography of every
prominent business man in each coun-
ty and produce a half tone photo
graph of him, charge him $25 to $50
and this is sheir graft in writing up
the resources of the State. Would
it not be better to give this sum to
the local paper and have it turn out
special edition setting forth the
resources of the county in which it is
doing business.

italist who will visit our camp and
look over the field, to show him bet
ter investments for a small sum of
money than can be found in any other
mineral section on earth. The min
eral ground is here. 1t only awaits
capital to develop it and uncover the
Lodges.
The annual production of the entire
Mother lode of California will fall far
short of that of the Tonopah mines
when they are opened up and the
ores are reduced here, and all this
will occur inside of twelve months.

TOnOpah Mining Bureau.

The elegant offices of the above
firm, though in new mining camp,
would do credit to any large city.
Connected with this firm are a
number of progressive men and each
one thoroughly up in his line. The
branch of mining, which is the most
important, is looked after and re-
ported upon by one of the best known
and most reliable mining men in the
west. The real estate department
is presided over by "a manager whose
knowledge OF real estate values is of
the very best and backed up by an
experience of twenty years. The
general office man. who looks after
investments and securities and at
tends to all correspondence, is prob
ably the best posted man on the
resources of Nye county of any man
in it.
This firm is established for the
purpose OF carrying on a general
brokerage business, handling mines,
real estate, business opportunities,
making investments for non-residcnts
in giIt-edge securities, and promoting
any legitimate enterprise.
The editor of this paper is very
busy man. Too much so to answer
correspondents, and he is also per
sonally acquainted with the gentle
men conducting the Tonopah Mining
Bureau, to whom he refers all non
residents for any information con
corning the camp, assuring them of
a thoroughly reliable report of con
ditions as they exist, and that all
matters entrusted to their care and
Judgment will be satisfactorily ac-
counted for.

Continue To Do So.

Reno people still continue to knock
Tonopah, for what reason cannot be
surmlsed, unless it be their greed for
nickels. VIM Money, brother of
our popular townsman, Geo. Money
of the Chloride saloon, arrived in
Reno last week on his way to Tono-
pah to make his home. Business men
in Reno advised him not to come here,
as the camp was n. 9. and the mines
in htiga ton. Mr.. Money believing
the statement, returned to San Fran
cisco, and upon his arrival there re-
ceived a telegram from his brother
TO "start for Tonopah p. d, O., and
when he arrived in Reno to get on
the V. & T. cars and remain there
until he got to Carson and if thirsty
he could get all he wanted near the
depot. He did so, and when he ar
rived in Carson found different class
of people, who told him that Tonopah
was the greatest mining district III
the world.
Why the people of Reno desire to
throw cold water on this camp is a
mystery. No one here is trying to
belittle small mine in their neigh
borhood which they call the Wede-
kind. We all hope that it will become
bullion producer some day, Tono-
pah has never received one cent OF
Reno's money aud never expects to,
while on the other hand the Riverside
town has thousands of dollars of To-
nopah bullion in her inside pockets.
Reno is going to have street
side show and will send out flaming
circulars asking the Tonopah sucker
to drop down and spend a few dol
lars, but the Tonopahan will say nay,
for this desert town is to have on the
same date as the Reno side-show a
seven days round of pleasure affair.
1t is to consist of drilling matches,
cooking mains, knockers associa-
ton" meet, sagebrush floral parade,
Indian fandangos in the evenings
amid a shower of electric stars. On
the last evening of the "whoop-up
there will be produced the comical
farce of the Democratic and Silver
party State Central Committee meet
that was recently enacted in Reno.
Reno's circus may be hummer but
the carnival to be held here will
outdo Sacramento famous street
fair. We hope Reno will always
prosper and grow to become great
city.
