Reports continue coming in to the
effect that the recent gold discovery
at Squaw valley is proving to be the
greatest gold country ever known.
Already several new strikes have
been made since the first startling dis
covery was reported, which extends
the fabulous mineral zone over an
immense area. The last strikes are
said to be as rich as the first, and
much of the rock brought from there
appears to be broken from crop
pings or dykes above the surface.
This ore is literally filed with free
gold, the particles varying in size
from the proportions of mustard
seed to a So gold piece
One party came from there a few davs
ago with hat full of the rock, any
piece of which would assay away up
in the thousands
AT the original strike an armed
man stands guard over the treasure
vault in order to prevent the carry
ing off of the rich rock, few pounds
of which would be worth good many
dollars.
The new country has been staked
off for IL miles square, and almost
everywhere, it is said, values can be
obtained, ranging from few dollars
to several thousand.
Mr.. +. L. Starrett of this place,
says the Battle Mountain Herald,
who visited the Gold Circle camp this
week, brought in another lot Of fine
specimens of free gold rock from the
sensational strike that was made sew
eral weeks ago and which is attracting
wide attention on account of the boz
nanza character of the ore and the
apparently unlimited extent of the

Squaw valley, or Gold Circle, both
of which names the new strike is
known by, is situated about 40 miles
north of here, and about so miles
northeast of Golconda. The country
is very accessible from here on ac-
count of there being a road from this
pint to the Squaw valley ranch, which
is frequently travelled and is kept in
very good condition. There is talk
here among the business men of the
town of making some improvements
on a road which leads over more
direct route than the one Travelled at
present. If this is done the trip from
here can be made by automobile in
about three hours.
The strike has excited considerable
interest here, and number of Battle
Mountain men have secured valuable
holdings in close proximity to the dis
covery of the rich ore
Among those who have been the
most fortunate in securing advan,
tageously located claims is Mr.. August
c. Lemaire. Mr.. Lemaire 5 Indian
prospectors were ON the ground about
the time of the original strike and
succeeded in getting group of claims
within a few hundred feet of where
the richest ore has been uncovered.
The strange thing about the ore
occurrence is that it is found almost
exclusively in huge dykes that rise
up out of the earth like golden
images, or giant gnomes petrified.
Verify this section of Nevada seems
destined to become the greatest min
eral producing region in the world.

Wolf Wins SUIT; COUNTY
WILL APPEAL

The decision comes not as sur
prise, either to the plaintiff nor the
defendant since the decision of Dis
trict Judge Orr, favorable to the plain
tiff, was rendered several months ago.
This decision was to the effect that
the judicial orders of the Lovelock
justice of the peace, ON whose author
ity Constable Wolf brought the prs-
oners to the county seat, could not be
questioned by the board of county
commissioners, who ordered that the
prisoners be kept at Lovelock.
The case was marked by a spirited
contest on the part of Attorney Duck
er, who took advantage of every point
in favor of the county.
BY order of the commissioners the
county will appeal the case to the su-
preme court and twenty days have
been given the district attorney to
file his appeal of the ease.
