GREAT PROSPECT
FOR OSCEOLA
Old Mining District Takes a New Lease
of Life
Recent Discoveries Have Been Made That Will Make This District
the Richest in the State

Old Osceola mining district has
awakened from a sleep of years,
and the recent activity in mining
circles in that district will be the
means of carrying to the outside
world some portion of the riches
that lie buried under the ground
in White Pine county. The fact
that the properties lately devel-
oped is of quartz formation, show
ing free milling gold, will be the
magnet that Will draw many to
a locality where in years gone by
most of the gold taken out was
done by placer mining.
Now lhat it has been deter
mined what is beneath the sur
face, we may hope for many
golden returns from that district,
and when more fully developed,
will show that White Pine county
is destined to become the richest
gold producing county in Nevada.
With the modern machinery for
extracting gold from both low
and high-grade ores, mines that
were given up long ago as non
producers are now turning out
to be bonanzas, and when these
facts become known to miuing
men outside of our State, we can
expect an era of prosperity that
has long been our due.
All hail to Old Osceola, and let
us hope that the good reports
coming in are but forerunners of
more to follow.
Osceola district was discovered
in August, 1872, by Joseph Wat
son and Frank Hicks, and organ
lied in October of the same year,
and up to 1880 there had been
over 400 locations, of which 80
quartz and 40 placer claims were
productive to their owners. The
most promising quartz mines at
that time were the Crescent, Os-
ceola, Credit Mobilier, Cum ber
land, Eagle, Exchange and Sill
yer Age, while the placer claims
were known as the Wisel, Sco-
field, Cumberland, Gulch and
Day Gulch.
The district is 100 miles from
the nearest railroad station, De-
seret, on the Utah Southern Rail
road. Timbering for the mines
can be secured within seven or
eight miles, and fire wood is
close at hand. Springs
in the vicinity furnish supply
of water sufficient for 100 stamps
amp water for hydraulics can be
brought from the small streams
from Wheeler's Peak. furnishing
about 100 miners inches.
With these natural advantages
it is not to be wondered that Os-
ceola district is to start the sub
stantial mining boom that has
been lowering over White Pine
county for many years.

Mention was made in this paper
of last week, announcing the kill
ing of William J. Norton by
Cbauncey W. Griswold, on the
95th of last month, the informa-
tion at that time being lacking in
details. Below we give a full
account of the tragedy, as taken
from the Elko Independent of
April 9th:
On the morning of the 25th.
Chauncey Griswold left the home
of his brother, w. S. Griswold,
in Ruby Valley, to go to his sheep
camp near Spruce Springs, on
the east side of Spruce mountain
a distance of about 35 miles. Be
ING short handed at the camp,
Mr. Griswold went to the camp
with the intention of doing the
cooking for the outfit during the
lambing season. When he reach
ed the place where he expected
to find his camp, he met William
Norton rounding up a band of
sheep for the night. Griswold
asked Norton if he had seen any
stray sheep, and Norton replied:
81 have not, but think there is
band just over the hill. "
Griswold then said to Norton:
Il own one hundred acres of
land here and you are lambing
your sheep on my ground"
Norton then called Griswold a
liar, and said he only owned 80
acres, and pulled his gun. Girls
void then threw himself off the
the horse on the opposite side
from Norton, at the same time
reaching for his rifle, which was
in scabbard on the saddle, and
drew it from the scabbard. Nor
ton also dismounted on the oppo-
site side of his horse. Norton
was in a crouching position with
his pistol drawn and trying to
get an aim on Griswold. Girls
void then shot and hit Norton
in the groin.
After Griswold had shot Nor
ton once, Norton cried:
Why did you shoot me? I
had no intention of hurting you. :"
Griswold replied:
Why did you have gun in
your scabbard 2"
Norton did not reply, as he was
then unconscious.
Griswold then rode to point
about two miles and a half from
the scene of the shooting, and
met John Boundy, a brother-in-
law OF Norton, and said to him:
l shot that man Norton. We
had a little quarrel and | shot

Three children and this will
brand them for generations.
He said to Boundy
You had better go and get
Norton and l will go to Elko and
surrender myself.
AS he left Boundy he said:
| would give every sheep l
nave if | could only give Norton
back his life."
Boundy got Will Bell and A. J.
Thomas, and with them went
oack to where the shooting oc-
Cured. There they found Frank
Norton, VIM. and Nicholas Paul

lying on his left side, and his
pistol was lying about eighteen
inches from his body. The pis-
tol was a 41-calibre Colts, and

bullet bent the nail nearly double.
The bullel was what is known as

the body the bullet exploded and
fragments of it came out, making
the other wounds on the body of
deceased. The femoral artery

were cut in several places.

ers have been rewarded for their
efforts by the discovery of IL
inch vein of quartz, the assays
from which show $173 in gold
per ton, and an average sample
taken from across the entire vein
has shown it to carry $85 in gold
to the ton. This vein is now be-

last week and are now inspecting
their holdings there for the pur-
pose of beginning active opera
tions on them this season.
HONSINGER s. WILLIAMS.
Messrs. Housinger and Will
Jams and partners, who have been
working some mines in the Osce-
ola district during the winter.
and extracted several hundred
tons of good free milling gold
ore, are now putting the Marriott
twenty stamp mill in repair, and
will begin crushing ore. They
are said to have several hundred
tons of ore on the dump which
will average $25 or $50 free gold
to the ton, and the mines show
fully as much more in sight.
They will endeavor to keep the
mill steadily employed during
the summer.
MARRIOTT STRIKE.
Reports reached here this week
that Jack Marriott is sacking ex-
ceedingly rich gold ore for ship
ment to Salt Lake. He is said
to have several tons already for
shipment now, and the mine,
which is situated just below town,
was an old abandoned location,
but recent work has developed a
very strong ledge of rich ore.
OTHER STRIKES.
Many new locations have been
made in the old camp the past
and not a few good quartz
lodges earring free gold have
been taken up by the more care
full prospector
MOSTLY OLD MINES.
All the mines mentioned, with
the exception of the Millick mine,
are old claims. AS is often the
case in mold mining camp, which
has been worked for years for it's
silver, copper, lead or placer
values, mostly all the disclosures
of good quartz lodges carrying
gold values in pay quantities in
Osceola district have been de-
veloped in old mines, which were
abandoned by the original own
ers because pay ore could not be
found at the grass roots, or be-
cause they did not carry placer
deposits.
The recent developments of the
quartz and placer claims shows
that the district will prove a
fruitful field for prospectors, and
there is no question of doubt but
that many a good find will be
opened up within the next few
months.
