MISSING MOHAWK ORE
IN PART RECOVERED
(GoldfieId Chronicle.)

Forty-four sacks, containing $500 pounds
of ore worth $40 pound, said to have
been stolen from the hchawk mine, were
taken from a Wells-Fargo express car at
Rene Monday by Sheriff Leeper of
Washoe county and two deputies, acting
Under instructions from the court. The
sacks were loaded into an express wagon
and driven to the bank, where they were
deposited subject to the order of Sheriff
Bradley of Esmeralda county. The ore
was consigned to the SeIby smelter at
Vallejo, Cal, by three Goldfield assay
ers There were no marks on the sacks
excepting numbers for their Identification.
Under the law the shippers have five

Another and larger shipment was made

The ore. which is being mined in the

leases. is the richest auriferous quartz
ever taken in quantities from the under
ground workings of any mine on earth:
A great deal of it is literally plastered
with the yellow stuff. The vault in the
basement of the Nixon bank building is
filled to the doors with canvas sacks
filled with ore that runs from 80 to sloe
a pound from the Hayes q MoDnette
lease, and at the State Bank & Trust COM
pany at Main and Hall streets the same

piled all over the floor and on top of
the vault. The lessees are working six
hour shifts and paying premium wages
in order TO get out as much as possible
before the expiration of the leases. Every
second is worth money, and the very best
miners obtainable are employed in the
work of riffing natures treasure vaults.
But strive as they will, they will be
forced to leave an immense fortune in
the black and yellow quartz when the
whistles announce the birth of the new

of the De LamdTs Nevada Gold Mining
company, en- organization which is said
to have taken s15,0G0,00o worth of orc out

Tangements fer the proper and immedi-
ate development of the Copper King mine
This corporation was organized recently
and il possesses a group of claims on the
other side Of the Rieh-Cache divide. from
which some remarkably fine ore is being
taken. The Copper King is the principal
claim and the ore being taken from this
claim now is perhaps the richest orc ever
taken out of local mine. The company
is preparing a shipment of it.
Some little excitement was caused in
local mining circles yesterday by the re-
pert that the La Plata Mining company
rad struck it at last This company has
done nearly 1900 feet of tunneling and
the report is that it has recently encoun-
tered a big orc body. The report cannot
be verified. as there is no regular commu-
