ment, and q Great Rush
Takes Place.

Thorne. Nev-with the firing of a
mighty blast Of dynamite from the TOP
OK Grant peak, the highest point in
the adjacent mountains, the Walker
Lake Indian reservation was opened
at noon Monday. At the given signal
hundreds of searchers for gold hur-
ried helter-skelter over the boundary
lines OF plain and mountain, and be-
fore the great cloud OF smoke which
rose into the air from the dynamite
explosion had drifted away. spec
taeular race of automobiles, race
horses and vehicles was on. So great
was the rush across the desert from
the line nearest Hawthorne that a
number Of persons narrowly escaped
being trampled over, and in numerous
instances injuries were reported.
Those who had waited for the signal
from the top of Mount Grant by rush
ing into the reservation found that all
the most valuable claims In the vicin-
ity of the rich Dutchman, Cottonwood
and numerous creeks emptying into
the southwestern part Of Walker lake
had been taken up by men who had
rushed in the night before. Even men
who employed launches to take them
across Walker lake from the eastern
side found that their efforts were Of
no avail, as they were much too late
to be on an equal footing with the
men who had disregarded all law.
