Searchlight is to have an cleo
trio light and power plant, an ice
plant, a cold storage plant and a
water system plant all in one.
Water will be pumped from deep
shaft. This combined plant is to
be installed by Franklin Ormund,

A gun play over a valuable
claim in the Cuprite district is said
to have taken place some days
ago. Frank Emos, at the point of
a rife in the hands of E. Benz,
was ordered to tear down the
windlass and all the workings that
he had erected at two shafts, then
driven from the claim and told to
stay away.-Tonopah Sun.
G. P. c. Sears, driver of the
Humboldt Copper Cos. stage be-
tween Humboldt House and Jack
son Creek, was frozen to death in
blizzard on Nov. goth. His body
was not found until Dec. 9th, and
the horses and the stage were
standing where Sears had fallen
from the wagon. The animals
were in a pitiable condition.
A huge iron bucket filled with
500 pounds of ore crashed down
upon Mike Awkward, a young
miner, at the bottom of a I7o-foot
shaft at Goldfeld last Wednesday,
frightfully injuring him. His face
was caught between the falling
bucket and an empty one at the
bottom of the shaft, tearing away
his nose, his lower lip and nearly
all the flesh from his chin.
The Searchlight is authority for
the statement that ore has been
encountered in the Quartette mine
which is too rich to amalgamate
properly in the mill. The ore is a
fine grained, deep red quartz, and
falls like sand under the pick.
Wire gold often holds the quartz
together. This ore is mixed with
a low grade ore SO that the values
can be extracted by milling with
out loss. tasv. tssg
The Loose Company, owning
the Jum-Up-Joe mine in the Ma
sonic district and the new Bodie
mines at Bodie, have arranged to
take up the options on the Will
liams and Friedell ranches, near
Sweetwater, New. The ranches
are acquired in order that site
may be secured for an immense
power plant which is to be built
upon the Walker River, from
which power will be carried to the
mines. The Loose Company has
taken up 10000 inches of water in
the river.-Carson News.
1t is now stated that the route of
the Western Pacific has been de-
fnitely settled on across Nevada.
After leaving Beckwith Pass it
will run northward of Pyramid
Lake; and from that point make
straight shoot for Winnemucca.
From Winnemucca to Wells it will
closely follow the tracks of the
Southern Pacific, and from Wells
the road will shape a straight
course to the southern end of
Great Salt Lake, entering Salt
Lake City by the terminals of the
Rio Grande Western railroad.
