Leaser Reported Insane.


Goldheld. New. Nov. 4.-There has
been a smaIl-sized stampede during
the last few days from GOlddeld and
TOnOpah 10 the vicinity of Stone Cabin,
twelve miles due east OF Five-mile
Springs and ten miles due west OF the
town of Eden. IL is about the same
distance northwest of Silver Bow. 1t
is in the Bellehelen district and in the
foothills OF the western slope Of the
KaWich range The strike was made
a week, or 50 ago and four tons of the
rock taken from a small streak run
ming up "A hill brought about $4,000
when hauled to TOnoDah. The men
who made the find staked out all the
surrounding ground, or forty claims in
all.
Word comes from San Francisco that
w II. Reilly, who was one of the own
ers OF the famous Reilly lease on the
Florence, has lost his mind and is now
in a detention hospital in San Fran
cisco. Mr.. Reilly left GoIdheld upon
the expiration of the lease, Oct. 10, and
was then in q state of nervous collapse
resulting from the strain and excite
ment incident to the mining OF approx
imately $15000O in ore in three months
time He had originally owned the en-
tire lease himself but at a time when
things were not working satisfactorily
and the lease threatened TO prove an
entire failure, and when, it is under
stood he had spent almost his entire
savings in the work, MI Reilly parted
with q large share of his holdings in
the property. Even under these cir
cumStances his own share in the profits
was by no means small and should have
made him content and beyond want
for the rest OF his life. No one knows
what set him off.
Last Friday the GOldheld Water COM
pany was placed in the hands of a re-
ceiVer appointed by Judge Murphy in
the district court at Hawthorne upon
the application of certain eastern
stockholders, who allege that the local
officials are mismanaging the affairs
Of the company. Fabius NJ Clarke, A
Il. Barnes and ". S. Williams have
been arrested on criminal charges ia
this connection and are under $4,000
bonds TO appear when wanted.

several efforts to secure the erection of

ing this way, but is only partially sue
cCssful Several schemes along this
line we're Matched. but no one would
go into the business IN earnest as
long as there was a possibility of the
completion Of the building destroyed by
the great fire. That immense project
had TO be abandoned for the present at
least.
