Repa, - were soon made and the fur
mace is now turning out copper IS

Hugh Wilson, who has bond
on the Spragg copper mine, was
here this week with couple of min
ing experts from Montana. They
think enough of the property to still

sixteen passenger coach going to

this week doing work on a copper
prospect he recently discovered in
the range OF mountains to the west
of this place. A sample of the ore
brought to this Office goes 81 per cent.
copper.
There is considerable rivalry
Between the two towns of Candle
laria and Sodaville, on the G. & e..
road, for the Tonopah trade. Candle
laria is closer to Tonopah and may,
eventually, get the bulk of hauling
and passenger traffic.
Several parties are expected
here from South Dakota in ten days
or two weeks to took over the count
ry with view to inducing immi-
grafton to this valley. They will
find the greatest country in the world
for hustling farmers to come into.
"A squaw fight took place on Main
street yesterday afternoon and the
dusky maidens were making things
decidedly interesting when Bishop
Carroll happened along and separat-

knock-kneed buck cased all the
trouble.
I. w. Johnson, has discovered a
gold prospect near Cambridge from
which he gets assays going over
5000 per ton. What little work has
been done on the claim shows up an
eighteen inch ledge of this kind of
ore. The claim will be further de-
veloped.
| There is again report that the
town of Wadsworth is to be cut off
the line of the Central Pacific road

fact that the company has recently
purchased a 4o-acre tract of land
east of Reno lends some color to the
report.
| George Strosnider took a trip to
Virginia City this week. Report
says that George is matrimonially
inclined, and that he may return
travelling in double harness with a
pretty schoolmarm who has been on
duty in the upper end of the valley
for term or two.
"A dispute has arisen between
Storey and Lyon county officials in
regard to which county the Lizard
mine, below Sutro, is situated. AS
the county line has been obliterated
there will probably be a new survey
made to determine in which county
the mine really is, and it won't make
much difference where it is.
