Mr.. and Mrs. t. ]. Osborne.

Mr.. 7. ]. Osborne, and wife
left for Salt Lake City on
Thursday morning by stage.
Mrs. Osborne will make that
City her future home with her
daughters, and while Mr..
Osborne will spend part of his
time in Salt Lake, he will spend
the greater part here, as he still
retains his holding here. We
would be sorry indeed to loose
Mr.. Osborne entirely, from our
midst as ne has been a part and
parcel of Lincoln County.
Coming here in 1871 a mere boy,
after attending school for a few
years entered the employ of
Wells Fargo & Co, serving them
for a number of years, until they
went out of business here. He
has also served us in the capa-
city of County Cler,. and District
Attorney, both Offices which he
filled most creditaoly. He has
been identified with the County
and Phoebe IN SO many parti-
culars that lAs niche would be-
hard to Ell, and we are pleased
to know that ne will still con-
tinue to fill that niche for some
time to come. The Pioche Brass
Band 5erenaded them on
Wednesday evening.
In their new home in Salt
Lake Mrs. Osborne and her
daughters will draw to them
selves many warm friends and
new acquaintance, but the
memory Of past years spent in
this place will not be forgotten,
nor the many friends they have
here. We wish them much
pleasure, joys and pleasant ties
in their new surroundings.

Thompson's Hall.


We made a visit to Thompson,s
Hall Tuesday and were sur
prised at the Improvement that
had been made on the stage and
in the Hall. The stage has been
enlarged. a new drop curtain
painted, four back curtains and
ten double side wings, which will
allow the making of ten different
scenes for plays. They are ar
ranged so that they can be
moved to any part of the stage
without much trouble. The rope
connections are SO fixed that
everything works smoothly and
no hitch can occur in the raise
or drop ola curtain. Mr.. Thomp-
son shows his faith in the future
OF the town by this Improvement
and it surely viii be appreciated
by the public.

BIG STRIKE.
Six Feet of Ore Assay
ing up in the Hundreds
of Ounces in Silver.
Eleventh Twelfth Interest Sold
for $4,000. Cash.

One of the most sensational,
and probably the most important
strike that has been made since
the early days OF Phoebe is the
one now attracting the attention
of every mining man of this sec
ton, discovered about a month ago
by J. L. Whipple while hunting
a horse; an eleventh-twelfth in
terest was purchased last week
by A. w. Scott, one of Pioche's
most active and progressive min
ing men, and Mr.. Thomerson of
England for the sum of $40, 900
cash. e
The property is situated about
thirty miles northwest of Phoebe,
and about five1niles north of the
old town of Bristol.
The ore consists Of very dark
colored quartz The ledge is
more than six-feet in width aver
aging from the surface between
two and three hundred ounces
silver per ton, the values being
in the form of horn-silver (silver
chloride). The formation in the
vicinity is granite with in
trusions of porphyry and quartz.
1t was in a blowout of this quartz
that the ore which is somewhat
darker in color than the surround
ing quartz, was first discovered.
While sufficient development has
not yet been made to determine
the general direction of the lead,
it is now probable that it is the
same as that Of the blowout,
though it was thought at first to
be at right angles. The second
theory is corroborated by two
more showings of ore at dis
lance of several hundred feet
from first discovery, and on the
same large belt of quartz which
runs in northeasterly and south
westerly direction.
1t is the intention of the own
ers to construct a wagon road
from the Bristol Gap direct to
the property; thereby decreasing
the distance to twenty-five miles
from Phoebe, and commencing
vigorous development on the
property at once. The writer is
in a position to know that, from
a conservative calculation, the
ore will net from SIPS. to $3.50
per ton with present facilities of
transportation.
One of the most important
features of this discovery is that
it is new departure in the min
ing industry of this section, since
it materially expands the field of
research by adding another
character of ore to the already
extensive list; and virtually, to
the prospector, Transforming the
old field to a new one.
General enthusiasm is felt, and
much activity noticed among
those who have visited the place.
This feeling is not limited to
local parties; for already mining
men, eager to determine the ex-
tent and nature of the find, are
coming in from the outside. One
sample assayed yesterday from
the same section, several miles
from the property of Mr.. SCOTS,
contained 1011 ozs silver. Pros
pectors are leaving daily prepared
to thoroughly investigate the
district.

Mark Church Arrested For
Threating To Kill IL. E. Freu-

Bonds For Six Months.

SWore 20 a warrant DeIOfe JUSTICE
Orr charging Mark Church with
threatening to kill him, and also
swore to complaint before
County Clerk Eugene Goodrich
charging Mark Church with be-
! ing insane and dangerous to be
at large.
The lunacy charge was first
taken up before County Clerk
Eugene Goodrich. and DIR.
Murray of Caliente was the ex-
aiming physician. During the
examination it developed that Mr.
Church was subject to melan-
cholia and hallucinations. lie
imagined that at shows that had
been given here that he was
made fun Of by II. f. Freuder-
thai, and others had been put up
to it by presidential to make him
look little ia the eyes of the
public and that this had con-
tinued for the past fifteen years.
While he was not pronounced
insane, the Doctor stated that he
was simple minded and imbecile,
and from the testimony brought
out, was to his mind a dangerous
man to be Of large, and that some
restraint should be put upon him.
The lunacy charge being disposed
of, the charge of threatening to
kill, was taken up Wednesday,
before Judge Orr. The testi-
mony brought out the following
facts. Mr.. Prudential testified
that Mr.. Church came to him
Sunday, on the street, and told
him that he wanted to be let
alone, that, he had been bother
ing him for the past fifteen years
in putting up jobs on him, to
make him look small, in the eyes
of the public, and his girl, and
had done so at the last show
given here, and also put up some
small boys to worry and bother
him; that he had stood it as long
as he could and if he, (Freuden-
thal) did not stop it, he, Church
said that he wonld die but that
Freude' lal would die first, this
statement was repeated during
the conversation at least six
times. The threat to do bodily
harm was corroborated by Mr..
Chas. Thompson who testified
that Mr.. Church told him Sun.
day afternoon that if Freu-
denthal did not stop putting up
jobs that he would either kill
Prudential or Prudential
would kill him. Quite a number
of witnesses were examined, Mr..
Chas, Horsey appearing for the
defendant, and Mr.. Prudential
for himself, and the State. AT
the conclusion of the testimony
the Judge held the defendant in
the sum of 81, 900 bonds to keep
the peace for six months, to the
public and to Mr.. Prudential in
particular.
This is a very unfortunate case,
as Mr.. Church is a good work.
man, exceptionally neat in his
appearance; his desire and ten
dency is to be law abiding
citizen, but unfortunately his
Imagination on the gentler sex
carries him away to sucha degree
that when it takes hold of him,
some particular girl is his girl
and if any young man goes with
her, as has happened in the past
many times, he has been inter-
viewed by Mr.. Church and told
to stop going with her as she was
his girl. and his requests or de-
mands have in the past in nearly
every instance been complied
with, as it was a we'll known fact
that he was off his balance on
this matter and it was the best
way to avoid trouble.
