Advices received in Eureka this week
from Diamond Valley, Duckwater and
Currant Creek are that the demand for
Winter pasturage and hay for stock can
not be supplied in hat section. The hay
market has been very active this season
and the farmers have sold their crops,
which leaves a shortage at the usual
Winter quarters for the stock of the local

their teams until Spring. They are be-
ing refused accommodations at the near

tain Peaceful Blockade"
The card Of William Whalen published
in the SENTINEL OF November g., in which
he stated that he had relocated the sever
copper claims near Alpha Of the Whalen
Con. Co., on the ground that the neces-
sary amount OF assessment work for 1901
had not been done on them, has evident
ly had the desired effect. G. Lay oil
Chicago, n of the principal stockholders
Of the company, and w. NJ. Flock also OF
the same city and attorney for the same
corporation, arrived in Eureka last Mon
day, and engaged III. Kind to secure a
force OF II men to go to Alpha for the pur-
pose Of doing the required amount Of as
sessment work on the claims OF the COM
pany for the year 1902.
The force went down to Alpha Tues
day in charge Of Joe Moline. On arriv-
ing at their destination Mr.. Whalen met
the party and informed them that he had
possession of the claims, and at that time
had four men working on them, and as
serted that if an attempt were made by
the invading party to come upon the
ground in dispute with the intention of
taking forcible possession, he would
"pop" over the first man attempting to
do so.
After the working party had been thus
warned Mr.. Moline sent word to Mr.. Lay
at Eureka. staff ng what had occurred.
The latter gentleman on Wednesday swore
OFT a warrant on information and belief
for the arrest OF Mr.. Whalen.
Sheriff Burdick, armed with the proper
document, left Wednesday night for
Alpha by private conveyance, arrested
Mr.. Whalen and brought him up to Eu-
reka on Thursdays train. The same
afternoon a hearing was had before JUS
tice Cromer, who held Mr.. Whalen under
1000 bonds to keep the peace for six
months, with P. Paroni as bondsman.
An additional force OF Is men left Eu-
reka on Fridays train to go to work on
the claims, Messrs. Whalen and Lay &C.
c~ompanying the party.
The claims in dispute are situated
about seven miles from Alpha Station.
The first force of men have been quar-
tered at the latter place since Tuesday
last, all living like lords and draw
ing 81 per day. There are cabins
at the mines, but they are the prop
erty of Mr.. Whalen, and the four miners
working for him occupy them. Where
the 25 men who have gone down to work
on the claims will find places of shelter
at the mines is a conundrum. The
ground in that section is now covered
with snow, and it is doubtful if the men
will take chances OF contracting cases of
pneumonia by camping out in tents.

The Miner is enabled to state this week.
on what it considers reliable authority, that
the principal object Of the recent visit Of
John Hays Hammond TO Tonopah was to
make an investigation and report upon the
most economical method for reducing To-
nopah ores. 1t has been definitely decided
to erect reduction works at the earliest
possible date. and the only question now
involved is whether the company shall erect
q mill here at the mines or establish .
smelling plant ct some convenient point on
the railroad where fuel and fuxes can be
secured at q minimum cost. Mr.. Ham
mond, il is stated by our informant, now
has this matter under consideration and his
report may be handed in at any moment.
This is a subject that interests the people
of Tonopsh more deeply than any other. for
the future growth and prosperity Of the
the camp largely depend upon the detsrmi-
nation Of the question. The erection Of
reduction works instead Of 8 smelter ct .
distance is what the people Of Tonopah are
hoping for, and the Miner feels justified,
from the information at hand. in conf
IDENTIFY predicting that what we are all
waiting and hoping for-the erection of
extensive reduction works at the mines
will soon be an accomplished fact.
