A promising strike has been made
on the April Fool claim, III Robin
son district. At depth of 90 feet
a body of ore was struuk which
shows free gold to the tnlount of
St25 to the ton. This estimate was
taken by panning out, and no
ASSAY has been made of the ore yet
1t is probable that all assay Will
show the ore to be much richer than
Stated above, as much of the metal
is lost in the crude process Of pan
ming.
The claim is owned by Messrs.
Riepe. Marshall and the Watson
brothers, and the present find is IN
dicative of something greater as the
Shaft increases i'll depth. The ore
shows clearly that the lucky owners
have found a bonanza, and the
present indications show ledge
that carries something rich.

CALI Convicted.

Peter Cali, charged with the
murder of Juan Fernandez, at
North Fork, near Elko, several
weeks ago, was convicted of
murder in the second degree at
Ello last Saturday, after a trial
lasting for several days. The
two men had bloody encounter
over some trivial affair, and in
the fight both were seriously in
iured. For a time it was be-
lieved that both would die, but
Cali managed to survive. They
were sheepherders and came to
this State from Mexico. The
verdict carries with it imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for a
period of not less than ten years,
which may be extended to life.
The jury balloted twice ON the
guilt or innocence of the defend
ant, and twice o the degree of
the crime. The second ballot in
each case was unanimous. Judge

The Cause Of 1t.

The Lincoln County Record
says the reason so many Repnb-

to the quails eating the grape

wine before casting their ballots.
