Thompson will get along well. The
bullet entered the region about half an
inch anteriorily between the inferior
and superior spine of the ilium and
came out over the posterior, approx
mately three inches over the crest of
the ilium and probably three inches
from the spinal column. 1t is very
dangerous if it penetrated the interior
lining and if peritontus does not set in
he will recover in few weeks.
Enright was placed under arrest by
sheriff Baird and released on $500 bail
to appear before the committing magis-
trate who set the preliminary hearing
for Wednesday at p. m. with D. c.
Mcdonald and Frank McNulty as sure
ties. On Wednesday the defendant ap-
peared for preliminary hearing and the
hearing was continued on account of the
inability of the prosecuting witness to
be present. The bail was then set at
81 900 with Chris. Jesson and Frank
McNulty as bondsmen. The further
hearing will proceed next Monday at
10 o'clock a m.

Making Good

Samples of oxidized ores were brought
to Salt Lake this morning from the Ely
Resurrection Mining company's new
strike in the Ely district from which
manager j. A. Jacobson said there
could be secured assays of 500 per ton.
says the Salt Lake Evening Telegram.
The entire bottom of a twenty foot
shaft, he explained, also is in an ore
body that carries an average of Is per
cent lead, per cent copper, twenty
five ounces silver, and $4 gold per ton,
or an aggregate value of approximate
ly $38 per ton. The property is located
only about three miles from the rail-
road, and were the ores opened up and
sufficient development accomplished and
surface facilities arranged. the values
are sufficiently high to make it profita-
BILE to begin shipping.
1t is regarded as one of the finest
showings in the Ely districts newer

The Mitchell claim of the Ely North
ern is of singular merit, the showing
is second to none in the camp. The
ore zone on this claim, so feet in width
crops out boldly for over thousand
feet. The tunnel being driven on this
claim will open up the properties for

best plan of development adapted to

high in copper and especially piph in
gold, Ne copper mine in the district
carries such high grade ores, and it is
to be expected from the lime por-

been missed entirely when samples
were taken.

down 450 feet on the dip and in CON
tinuous ore. The main workings con-
