THE NORTH STAR strike.
Some Of the Richest Ore Ever Found
in the Camp.

The Tonopah papers give the fol-
lowing account Of the late strike in
the North Star:
One Of the greatest strikes of high
grade ore ever made in the camp &C.
CURED Tuesday morning in the west
drift from the north cross-cut on the
$50 level of the North Star. For the
past week the ledge has shown a uni.
form width Of about four feet, the ore
being Of good shipping grade, but
showing no phenomenal values. On
Thursday morning, at a distance of 30
feet from the cross-cut, a two-foct
streak of extremely high grade ore
was opened up. Samples of the ore
now on exhibition in the window Of
the Nye comfy bank are composed al
most entirely of brittle and ruby silver
i and will probably assay from $4,000 10
! $4,000. The entire two-foct streak will
run more than $1,000 ton. The ore
is identical with that of the rich ledge
in the Montana Tonopah, and there
| is no doubt that the North Star has
caught the Montana ledge. TIE ore is
being sacked as it is broken down,
without sorting, and will be shipped

A BIG LAWSUIT.
cssson Valley Farmers to be Sued by
Oaytonites.

OaytoniteS.
Another big irrigation suit will soon
be before the courts. ]. M. Douglass Of
this city will shortly bring suit against
the Carson Valley ranchers to enjoia
them from further diversion of the
water in the Carson river The suit Will
be instituted on behalf of the Douglass
mill at Dayton, which property is IT,
ing idle on account of the lack of mo-
tive power.
A previous decision granted the land
owners of carson Valley the use of a
portion of the river water for a part
of the year. The irrigation season is
supposed to be over on October 1, and
the use of the water after that time
puts the farmers in contempt of court
This year the water has not been turn
ed into the river bed and several in
dustries have been paraiyzed as
consequence, notably. the Brunswick
mill, near Empire, the Douglass mill at
Dayton and the Como electric plant
The Brunswick mill would have been
in operation long ago on Comstock
ore but for a lack of water power.
In addition the ranchers below Day
ton have suffered severely during the
past season. The river has been al
most dry during the summer and hard
ly enough water has been availa bic
tor the use of live stock.
The Carson river as it flows through
the valley of that name Is splendid
stream, but when it reaches Dayton
it does not amount to the proportions
of brook. There is a wilful and cri
minal waste Of the water by the ranel
ers of the upper valley. One large
land owner has declared that he would
not allow any water to pass his proper
ty, and he has almost made his threat
good
A vast amount of water is used t.
reclaim land. On the Dangberg ranch
es levees are built around thousands
marshes and lakes are created. TIL;
water is thus used for two or tire.
years. The sagebrush is thereby rot
ted and the bark and leaves are de
posted on the surface of the ground
The whole area is then ploughed an
sown to alfalfa The operation is con
stantly repeated and it is easy to com
pute the immense volume of water re
Quired for this purpose.
No rule of law or equity will ALLOW
the use of the entire stream and tn
action will be brought to compel tn
1anchers Of the upper valley to respec
the rights of those who own land fa
Their down the river, some of whOr
have prior rights The suit will be a
interesting one The Dangbergs wi
probably be made the principal d'
PENDANTS. 1t is thought that other raj
cheers below Dayton will join issue
later on with Mr.. Douglass. The cas-
will be one of the hottest legal figh'
in the State as both the principal pa
ties are reputed millionaires, and
will partake of the naure OF the stru
gle for existence of a community

Ossining, \. Y, May 25.-Antonio
Triola was put to death in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing prison Mon
day. Five shocks were necessary to
cause death. State Electrician Davis
said it was harder to kill a thin, wiry
man like Triola by the electric cur
rent than stout man, as in the case
of a thin man there are not enough
tissues to convey the current quickly
to vital part. Mr.. Davis also said
that Triola had thick greasy hair,
which resisted the current. Triola re-
ceived the first shock at 500 a. m.
After four more shocks had been Civ
en- at brief intervals he was pro-
nounced dead.
Antonio Triola shot and killed Ma

was a theatrical performer in a small
