Glowing Reports From the New
Town of DIamOndfeId.

against the footwall. The face of
both drifts show good values. He
has three shifts working.

have sunk down and c%rosscut the
ledge at a depth Of seventy. five feet

SHOP LIFTING IN RENO.
The RingIeader Has Confessed
and Stolen Goods Found.

A conspiracy, the extent of which
has alarmed and astounded the citi,
zens of Reno, has been unearthed in
the big department store of GRAY,
Reid u Wright. 1t is understood
that no less than eleven employees
have been implicated and five have
already been placed under arrest.
The ringleaders have confessed and
states prison now stares in the face
several young men Of previous good
character and standing in the com.
munity. Two brothers named Woods.
Harry Blackwell, Ernest Dalzell and
Ed Smith are the young gentlemen
so far implicated; but as indicated
above others are suspected and may
soon be in the tolls.
There are several sad features in
connection with the case, not the
least of which is the youth of the Of
tenders. Several hundred dollars
worth OF goods have been recovered,
but up to this writing no fence has
been unearthed.
The goods stolen were of every de.
scription running from toilet articles
to suits OF clothes, and in fact wear.
ing apparel Of every sort and descrip.
tion. A thorough system OF loot had
been established and carried on for
weeks II not months. The number
involved make ultimate detection
certain, and while the public stand
aglIast at the utter lack Of moral
sense exhibited by these youths we
must smile if it were possible to smile
at such degeneracy, at the stupidity
and lack of c%levcrness shown.

mothers are broken hearted and

worst is known and that a. further
misery will come from this regret.

ANOTHER JUMBO STRIKE.
Shields and Parham Have An
Assay of $139. 80.

Another strike has been made in
the Jumbo mine at Goldfield; this
time in the Shields and Parham lease.
A sample assay yielded $685. so in
gold and a small amount in silver.
This was from IN open cut less than
200 feet from the Zinn lease where
the recent strike was made. Shields
and Parham are down fifty feet at
another point and are running a cross
cut to tap the main ledge. They have
already encountered five feet OF ore
which they believe will average $40
as an average assay gave $39. 20. In
the linn lease there are three feet
OF ore which it is understood averages
above 5000.

The Redmen appeared in a
parade on, the streets Friday
night. Several of the enthusiast
tic members-dressed like the his
toric copper colored savages,
gave an excellent exhibition OF
an Indian war dance on the pub

band dispensed music. The Red
men have been wonderfully re-

est in the Northwest. 1t was or
gained shortly after the close OF
the Revolutionary war, and some

Song from the Persian.

Ali sad re they who know not love,
But. far from passions tears and
smiles,
Drift down a moonless sea. beyond
The silvery coasts of fairy isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air and never touch
The dear warm mouth of those they
love
Waiting, wasting. suffering much.
But clear as amber. fine as musk
Is life to those who. pilgrim wise.
Move hand in hand from dawn to dusk,
Each morning nearer Paradise.
Oh. not for them shall angels pray!
They stand in everlasting light
They walk in Allah's smile by day,
And slumber in His heart by night.
