THE Nellie" Bought B,
Michigan Parties, Locator
Gets Small Fortune

The Nellie mine In Deadwood
guIch has been sold to Michigan par
ties. While the consideration is not
known, it is believed to be no less
than $4,000.
The news that the deal had been
closed was brought to town today by
John Reit, the discoverer of the prop
erty, who gave bond some time ago
to William Lamb of Creede for $10,-
900. and announces today to his
friends that he will get his money.
Mr.. Lamb is the gentleman who
drove the tunnel on the May Day.
Wnen he took the bond on the Nellie
he had Mr. Reit continue at work
Now that the bond has been taken up,
lieved that when work is resumed 1t
will be on large scale.
The Nellie Is located in Deadwood
gulch on the east slope of the La
Platas about two an n half or three
miles from the May Day. 1t has n
shaft down twenty-six feet and a
drift from the bottom of the shaft
tHiTty-l1Ve leet. Inc VEN Is strong
and well defined and about four feet
wide where the work was done, II
contains extremely rich streaks. As.
says from 14-inch streak, the Her.
aid is told, showed values ranging
from $500 to $1,000 per ton, values
being both in gold and silver, the
gold predominating.
Just west of this claim and on the
same vein is the claim owned by
Kennedy and Graves, which is now
being examined and held under op-
tion by Messrs. Rattle and Cramer,
who are connected with the Crawford
syndicate Of Red Mountain. No work
has been done upon this claim except
little prospect hole. Some excite
ment was recently caused by an assay
from 1t showing $4,000 ton.
AT the east end of the Nellie and
on the same vein is a claim owned
by William Boyle and John G. Hig-
gins. The discovery shaft of the two
claims are near each other. Messrs.
Boyle and Higgins have a very en-
couraging showing, but have done but
little work SO far.
The country on all sides of these
three claims and also between them
and the May Day is perfect network
OF veins and is pretty well staked.
Many claim owners feel greatly en-
couraged over the outlook.

HUMANE WORK is
PRODUCTIVE OF GOOD
N. B.--Answer at once.

The state humane society has re-
ceived word from washington to the
effect that its work in the protection
of horses in the Star route mail ser
vice has resulted in much good. Two
years ago Secretary Whitehead in
duced the postoffice department to In
sert clause In all contracts with
stage companies for carrying the
United States mails that the horses
be protected and that they must be
properly protected from the storms.
The bond given by the company
was made as protection for the
horses. The last contract not carrying
this clause expired July and the new
contracts signed carries the clause.
Now every stage company or mail
carrier of any kind, where delivery Is
made by horses, must sign a contract
to protect the horses. The humane
society has notified all postmasters to
this effect and has requested that any
violation of this rule must be re-
ported. The postmasters are not slow
OF report and the passengers on the
coaches do likewise. Mr.. Whitehead
sends these reports to the United
States government at Washington and
the government in turn calls down
the drivers. In one instance the gov
eminent compelled the stage company
to spend $4,000 in purchasing fresh
horses and changing the relay sta
tions so as to give the animals a
shorter haul.
Mr.. Whitehead and the other off
cials are very much pleased at the
success of their labors.
