A Wide-Awake Sheriff.

Nye county has wide awake and
deservedly popular sheriff in Thomas
Logan. Upon learning that race
war between Portuguese, italian and
Basques miners, was on at Berlin,
the sheriff, who was in Manhattan at
the time, telephoned deputies Scott
Hickey, Hughey Willis, Thomas Muir
ray, and ]. Gilzean in Tonopah, to
secure an auto and start for Man
haitian at once. They did so and
broke all records getting there, where
Tom joined them and the party con-
tinued on to Berlin. Arriving there
the popular officer and his deputies
lost no time in getting busy. They
took the belligerents by surprise and
in few minutes had them disarmed
and the ring leaders in an improvised
Jail. The trouble arose over the big
mining company operating there,
discharging the Portuguese and hir-
ing Italians. As a result of the dis
turbance no foreigners will be en-
ployed in the Berlin mine hereafter.

Ex-Governor Adams is Charmed

Ex-Governor Jewett Adams has re-
turned to Carson after spending several
weeks in fonopah and Manhattan. In
referring to his presence in the northern
mining camp, the Manhattan News has
the following: Ex-Governor Jewett
Adams of Nevada spent Sunday and
Monday in Manhattan on business. This
was Mr.. Adams first visit to the new
Manhattan and he was more than sur
prised with the elegant big city which
met his gaze. Mr.. Adams was on a
hurried trip and spent but little time
inspecting the mines. Thirty years ago
Governor Adams and his wife made
frequent trips over the road from Pea
vine to Belmont and that portion Of the
road which passed through Manhattan
canyon is now the main street of
Nevada S newest and greatest Golconda.
Little was dreamed at that time that a
wonderful mining camp would spring up
on either side of that well-traveled road
as the years rolled by, and much less
that city rivaling in rapidity of growth
any city in the world would meet the
gaze of the traveller thereon. Governor
Adams gazed upon the treasure-laden
hills and wondered how he, as well as
thousands of others, had passed over such
unlimited wealth without realizing it..
The distinguished gentleman left Tues
day morning for his home in Carson City
full of praise for Manhattan and greatly
pleased that his old stamping grounds
have taken on stir that means wealth
to the world and prosperity to the peo-
ple."

Rich sandstorm Shipment.

Thirteen sacks of ore mined from the
50-foot level of the Sandstorm, averag-
ing close to six dollars per pound, and
10 sacks of ore averaging between two
and three dollars per pound, recently
sent to the Stlby smelters by express,
establishes the Sandstorm once more as
not only producer of high grade ship
ping values, but of sensational deposits
of yellow metal.
George Wingfeld yesterday received
a telegram from the Selby smelter an
nouncing the result of the treatment
of the ore, which, according to the
Goldfeld News, gives:
Thirteen sacks of ore averaging 500
o., value, S11, 200 per ton.
Thirteen sacks of ore averaging 230
o., value 81, 900 per ton
The rich ore was mind in the Sand
storm during the second week in Jan
uary, and was of so great value that
the sacks containing the dirt were stor-
ed in the vaults of the John S. Cook
bank until they could be prepared for
shipment by express.

BAXTER SPRINGS
IS LIVELY
Many Companies Are Now
Operating There
Important Strike is Made On the
Davenport Property, Ledge
Showing Free Gold
Baxter Springs.

Baxter Springs is promised an in
creased era of activity this coming
week through the letting of ten leases
by the Baxter Springs mining company
on their valuable claims. The terms of
the leases are the most favorable to
the lessees of any that have been let in
Nevada on mining property of similar
prospects. Leases will be 100 by 75O
feet, ten months time, 20 per cent
royalty, no bonus, 25 shifts the first
month and So shifts per month there
after. There is plenty Of wood, also
water, on the ground, and with such
favorable terms and conditions it is ex-
pected the leasers will soon make the
hills resound with strenuous mining
operations.
DIR. Higgins returned from Baxter
Springs last Saturday and is unsparing
in his praise of it's outlook. While
there he visited the Baxter Springs
mining company's property and the
Gregory property adjoining and he
states that for the short time that work
has been done on them the properties
show up exceedingly well.
Sixteen new tents have been erected
at Baxter Springs during the past
three days, making the camp now one
of nearly four hundred people.
]. Wallace Mcneil has given an op-
tion to representative of eastern cap
ital on all his mining interests in the
Baxter Springs district.
Stock subscription books of the Bax-
ter Springs mining company were OPEN
ed last Monday at the State Bank and
Trust company, at Tonopah, Goldfeld
and Manhattan. An allotment of only
rs, 600 shares was made for each place
at 10 cents per share. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company not to place any
more stock on the market for less than
25 cents per share, as the recent show
ing of the property has been so excel
/ lent.
