veteran attorney, to that noted mining
district in Churchill county this morn
ing. Several months ago Mr.. Cnrler
grubstaked an associate who went into

now known to be hiphly mineraliaed.
The location work was done and the
claims staked and now comes word that
they are wanted by several wealthy
operators who wish to combine them
in group with other La Plata proper
Ties. The sum of $25, 900 has been of
tered to Mr.. Curler for his interests, but
before he will negotiate sale he intends
to make personal inspection OF the
claims in order to arrive at a better
knowledge of their value.
He will be gone for several days on

the north and west boundaries oi the
