on tn, Zirn mine. was visitor in
town Wednesday. He reports that
his company is working faithfully on
their ground and expect To encounter
pay streak shortly. Last Monday he
made an examination of the shaft on
the Donlan mine in Buffalo. an as 4
result came near losing his life. While
going down the lader, a large bould-
er. which had become losened by the
recent rains. suddenly fell into the
shaft jus. missing his head. Had the
missile struck him Mr.. Mcdonald
would not have lived to tell the tale.
He reports the Donlan mine as be-
ing the biggest copper proposition
this side of Ely, and says that with
proper development the mine is sure
to prove bonanza.

Jud9eSuedfor
Not DOinQ
Duty

Last week we mentioned in our COL
umns that the suit between Wyatt
and Barber had been settled, but We
were not at that time familiar with
the terms of the settlement. They
we're as follows; Wyatt is granted the
use of all water claimed by him in
complaint, and Barber must pay the
cost of action amounting to nearly
thousand dollars
Wyatt has now started damage
suit for $4,000 against Superior Judge
Arnot. of FL Dorado County, for dam
ages sustained on account of his ac-
tion, in not deciding the suit before
leaving Alpine County, after all the
evidence had been placed before him.
Whcih action caused the suit to be
again gone over before Judge Parker
successor to Arnot in Alpine, delaying
the decision fer almost year. An
action suing a superior Judge has new
er been in ,tituted in any of the courts
in California. and the above case will
have to oe tried under a special ruling
of the court, as the statutes fail to
provide precedent for such an ac-
tion. The case Is causing consider
able comment among the legal lights
of this section and will be watched
with considerable interest. Judge
Minor is attorney for thu plaintiff in
the alton.

Ii nM'neScene
OF Rich
Strike

Anot er extremely rich strike has
bes made in the Iirn mine iu Pine
nut. last Saturday. A pocket was
found by A N Brown, an old pros
pector, who was doing some work for
Attorney General Sweeny. }. B,
Vierra and United States District
Attorney Platt. all OF Carson who
have secured lease on the Last
Chance claim one of the Zirn group.
The pocket which contained several
sacks of ore. was carried down to the
creek and wa ,ned. A baking powder
can half full of nuggets valued It
1900 WIS the result of the panning.
The flne gold was allowed to escape.
This strike has put new impetus
into the mining industry in PineDut
and many prospectors are now flock
ing into these hills. Several more leas-
es have been let on the Zirn group
and the Andersen hill is ringing with
the clank of pick and shovel. In all
of the adjoining hills work is going
NJ eiily on. no less than 80 men being
employed seaching for the elusive met
ais. The most of these are outside
people, coming from Goldfield. Tono-
pah and the Bullfrog distict.
Now that systematic search is be-
ing made of the prospects in this re-
gion, similar finds to the one above
mentioned need not be surprising. for
H. is a we'll reconizel fact that the ex-
cellent prospects. all through this re-
gion can not be excelled anywhere.
and as the gold must come from some
source. the chances are that some ex
ceedingly rich bodies will be found
before the summer is over, and the
Pinenut Hills aud Douglas County
will experience an influx of mining
men eqcal to that of the Southern
gold fields.
