STRIKE IN THE VELVET.
Mine Adjolns the Property Recently Ae
CURED by Vivian D. strange.

In yesterdays issue Of the "News"
mention was made of the fact that Y.
p Strange, OF this city, had secured n
bond on The Great Bend group OF claims
In the Goldheld district, Nevada, and
That the property adjoIned the Velvet
mine IN which n strike had been recent .
~ made The value OF the strike how
ever, had not been made public at the
time MIR Strange left Godfield for salt
Lake. II Is n most important one, and
y hummer Judging from a dispatch

one more sensation occurred this
week In Goldheld's category Of strikes
When Rube Ryder, Woodworking
miner scooDed up the loose dirt md

velvet lode n few days ago, he little
dreamed that within three days he
would be counted u rich man. possess

dollars and a reasonable chance to
make 100000 more within years

ana round that II would run $50 per
ton He examined the float and crop-
pings and found the same to carry val
ues In free sgold so great that the
Ereyfogle story itself becomes COM

block or the Velvet claim. The lease
was Immediately granted The next
move Mr. Ryder made was 10 tell his
friends, or two OF them at least TO ap-
ply for the extension of his ground,
And they i'm turn were granted leases
before the secret was divulged. Mr..
Ryder next sold an interest In the lense
for good round sum and IL now quiet

doubt he would see away in the dis
lance and under some sunny sky pic
lure OF coy cottage and the proverb-
lal vine and fig tree. This strike, which
Hes about quarter OF a mile norther-
~ from the Jumbo, Is the greatest sur
lace showing ever made In the district.
The Velvet IL the westerly end of the
Spearhead group OF 10 claims already
made prominent by the rich strike on
the Agae claim. Two-thlrds Of the
property is owned by Claude NJ. Smith
and one third by George A, Kernick,
both pioneers Of the bonanza camp. The
values In the dirt and In the quartz
run as high as $4,000 to the ton and
shipping VIII commence as soon as

days viii probably see the same life
and hustle along the ledge OF this
claim as today exists on the Jumbo.
