LAKE GOING DOWN.
Madison Lake Outlet to Be Lowered
One Foot.

FEOIn hoUudy bdHy.
County Commissioner Madigan has
constructed a temporary dam across the
outlet of Madison Lake so as to work on
the outlet. 1t is proposed to lower the out
let one foot. 1t is said that since the
dam has been constructed the lake has
fallen four inches, so that it will prob
ably 90 down rapidly when the outlet
has been fixed The natural evaporation
and seepage would almost suffice alone
to lower the lake. but the farmers liv-
ing east of the lake have suffered by the
filling of the drainage bitches which they
built to drain their land. The slough
that they drained to, having been raised
by the lake, has in turn backed upon
into the bitches.

Brewster Man Bereft Of Speech; Att.
erward Receivers It.

From Saturdays Daily.
One of the most remarkable happen
ings ever known of in this community
took place here. this week, says The Lis
more Leader. While working for his
brother Tom on the farm. two miles
north west of Brewster. Ben Bryn9el-
son suddenly became unable to speak or
utter sound of any kind. He has been
subject to head ache for a long time,
and on Monday afternoon, at which time
the afflictiOn came upon him. he's had
been suffering considerable pain, al
though no more than on some other Oc-
casions. His brother came to town with
him and DR.. Nessa was consulted with
regard to the trouble. That doctor states
| that there are several causes which may
bring about a condition, but he was at
| first unable to determine which cause
was responsible in this instance Ben
continued in his unfortunate predica-
ment until Wednesday afternoon about
| six o'clock At that time he was caring
for the horses in the barn when one of
them refused to move over in the stall.
Ben hit the animal slap, and spOkee to
lit as naturally as ever, although he had
been mute as an Egyptian mummy an
instant before. Since that time he has
been able to talk as well as ever, and
| it is hoped that his trouble will not re-.
| turn.

be sent from Reno on a special train. so
that he may get his hotel in shape with
out delay. The large circus tent will be
hoored, and made as comfortable as
possible. 1t will be heated aud lighted
by electricity, and although it will not
be modern in every particular. it will
provide accommodations for the SILVER.

Fine Views of Ruby Hill

Several pictures of Ruby Hill and
the chief places of interest there have
been taken by Fred EsselbruRge aud
show him to be a true artist in this
line. All of the photographs are excep-
tionally well finished, and are equal to
the best to be seen anywhere. They
represent the boarding house and
large mining buildings of the Rich
mond- Eureka Mining Company and
two general views of the town; one
looking north from the Phoenix mine,
and the other looking southwest from
Cariboo Hill. These pictures must be
seen before they can be fully a%ppreciat-
ed, as it is not often that such views can
be taken and all developed so well. In
the near future the SENTINEL expects to
give a more or less complete write up
of the mining industry in this district
as it is being developed. and in connec-
ton with that of the mines at Ruby
Hill, we hope to be able to show the
actual condition more clearly by repro
ducing some of these photographs.

AGAINST FEDERATION OFFICIALS
United States Supreme Court
Refuses Them a Writ of
Habeas Corpus

Washington, December, 3.-The Su-
preme Court Of the United States to-
day decided that the habeas corpus Of
Of Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone. the
representatives Of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners who are now held in
prison in Idaho on the charge Of com
plicity in the murder Of former Cover
nor Stuenburg. adversely to the men.
The opinion was by Justice Harlan.
The effect OF the decision will be to
hold the men for trial in Idaho. or
the men involved, Charles H. Meyer il
president. w. d. Haywood, secretary
and treasured and George A. Pettibone
. member Of the Western Federation
Of Miners. They are now in prison at
Boise, Idaho, under a charge Of murder
ing former Governor Frank Steun-

not charged that they were present
when the crime was committed.
The case came to this Court on an up.
peal from q decision Of the Idaho Fed.
eral Court, refusing to grant writs Of

Of controversy was the method by

MINING COMPANY ORGANIZED
Eureka Mining District Again
Moving Toward the Front in
Development Work

The Eureka Mining District once en-
joyed the distinction Of being n of the
best producers in the world, and for
many years this position was maintain
ed without exploitation, initiation Of
stock values, or a calamity breeding
boom of any kind. This district con-
tains the mineral wealth which will
place it in that a again. and will
keep it there for all time.
About a yea ago activity in the min
ing interests again began to manifest
itself. Since that time there has been
a steady growth and development which
bids fair to rival that Of the palmiest
days in the history of this famous min
ing camp. Hundreds Of ley claims
have been located and are in process of
being opened, while many of the mines
which were once excellent producers Of
rich ore are being put into shape for
further working. All this is going Oh
quietly but steadily. New companies
are being formed. although. as a general
rule, the men who W the claims pre-
fer to do the work themselves.
Probably the most significant
which has yet taken place in this the
new era of prosperity is the incorpora-
ton Of the Adams Hill Mining Com
pany, the articles of which were re-
corded in Arizona, October ID. 1906, un-
der which Frank X. Smitt Of Eureka,
aud Eastern associates will push the
work on their holdings ON Adams Hill
as rapidly as possible.
The Board of Directors met in Eureka
on December 4 aud elected the follow
ing officers for the ensuing year: Pres.
ident. G. S Six; Vice President. p.
Paroni; Treasurer. j. H. Hoegh; Secre-
tary, Lew Rogers. At this meeting Mr..
Smitt, who is to have the management
Of the work, was instructed to run a
drift from the 80 foot level in the
STANDARD" shaft, now 240 feet deep.
and tap a ledge on which he has been
working, and which is said to have
assayed from 9S to 140 ounces of silver
and from IS per cent to 40 per cent lead.
All preceding business relating to the
affairs of the corporation was duly ac-
knowledged at this meeting; 100. 600
shares of treasury stock were placed,
aud an additional l00, 900 shares of stock
reserved; so, 900 shares of the treasury
stock was placed in Eastern hands at 25
cents a share. 1t is reported that an
offer of $40, 900 for sc. 1000 shares of this
stock was refused, the corporation hold
ing out for the original price asked. An
agent was appointed in New York to
handle the first allotment of $4,000
shares.
These holdings comprise ten claims
known as the Standard No. 1, Standard
No. 2, Grand Central No. /, Grand
Central No. 2, Tobey. Forbes. Belle of
the West No. /. Belle of the West No.
2. the Wallace & Barlow, and the Min
eral Rock, all situated on the north end
of Adams Hill. Several of these claims
were patented during the early pros
porous period in this district. and were
good producers at that time. A large
part of the work of developing the
mines has already been done. so it may
be expected that within a short time
shipment of ore will begin. Mr.. Smitt is
a miner of large experience, aud expects
to prosecute the work on these claims
vigorously.
