Captain W. l.. Cox, mas been there
and believes it to be one of the very
richest mineral fields in Nevada and
without doubt an extension of the
great ComstOck lode. for the geological
conditions are identical and the ore
very much resembles Comstock ore.
AS matter of fact there appears
to be full warrant for believing that
a contest is on for valuable property
and both sides seem equally bent on
staying 10 the last round.
In this contest the original locators
are side-trached and will not appear
on the scene as witnesses for they
have sold their entire interests to
third parties who now claim the
ground
Sam Wheeler and Chas. Norcross

property and are entitled to it, while
Capt. Mayne. Godfield operator
purchased it from those, who he
claims. located it Mayne is now
in possession and has warned Wheel
