WASHAKIE
q q . q q . q q . q ,

M. V Gilbert arrived last evening
from Washakie, where he has four men
engaged in doing the assessment work
on his claims in that district. Mr. Gil
bert owns claims in the heart of this
new district, and has obtained some
good samples showing free gold from
lodges on his property, as well as high
average assays of the ledge matter.
Some Of his specimen assays have run
up into the thousands, and the aver
age values will run around 800.
Washakie is about twenty-seven miles
south of Winnemucea, between Grand
Trunk canyon and Dan Pap canyon. 1t
was discovered early this summer, and
considerable work had been done in
there by Utah people prior to the first
of last June. The gold values have
been found in the free state, and the
silver in chloride and sulphide com
pounds. The gold predominates. The
development work so far prosecuted
at Washakie will not show a greater
depth than twenty feet, but as the work
is being pushed more and more encour
aging values are being obtained. Mr..
Gilbert has just had some assays made
of ore from one of his assment shafts,
and these, when compared with the sur
face values, show a decided growth in
values. After a few days in town Mr..
Gilbert will return to Washakie.

J. N. THACKER IS
BADLY INJURED

The latter part of last week J. N.
Thacker, the veteran Wells Fargo &
Co. detective, was painfully injured in
the Lovelock valley, and for time
it was feared he would not survive the
effects of the accident. Mr.. Thacker,
in light rubber-tired buggy was driv-
ing through one of the Lovelock lanes
on trip to inspect bis cattle interests
in the valley. A man with team and
scraper was working on the lane
through which he passed, and shortly
after Mr.. Tucker had proceeded on
past the work that was being done
on the road the team attached to the
scraper became frightened and ran
away down the road, following him
The scraper was large piece of ma
chinery, and ran on wheels, and the
horses, big, heavy animals, proceeded
at rapid and powerful speed.
Suddenly coming upon the light
buggy, they straddled it, and the pole
of the scraper struck the buggy square
in the center. The buggy was demol-
ished. According to the version of
Lovelock citizen in town today, there
was not piece of wood or iron left as
large as mans arm.
Mr.. Thacker was thrown to the
ground and the machinery passed over
him. His team was frightened and
also ran away. Picked up shortly after
the accident, Mr.. Thacker, in ain pn-
conscious state, was a mass of bruises.
1t was at first thought that he had
been killed outright, but with the sum
moning of medical aid he began to re-
vive. A hasty examination was made,
but it was found no bones were broken.
although it was thought that he had
suffered internal injuries. He was sent
to San Francisco, accompanied by his
son, Eugene Thacker and there placed
in hospital. Reports since received
concerning his condition are to the eff
feet that he is improving.

w. DAILY and j. Erickson. both resi-

mucca the latter part of the week, hav-
ing recently been in the Stone House
and Seven Troughs districts, from
which they bring the following report:
Mr. DAILY stated that he had removed
his camp from Seven Troughs to Stone

which place he was engaged in doing
some extensive development work for
company composed of Tonopah min
ing men and J. Gunnel and r. c. Boyer
OF Lovelocks. The property in ques-
tion is of low grade ore, but as the
quartz ledge is about 200 feet in width
and heavily mineralized. it is expect
ed that with depth the values will i'm
prove.
Mr.. Erickson stated that at present
he was busily engaged in doing his
assessment work on the Red Bird
claims at Seven Troughs, in which he
is interested with Lovelock residents
From the surface of this property pan
nings have been taken which show
more or less values. ne is now run
ming tunnel for the purpose of strik
ing the ledge at great depth and
hopes to be able to report a good find
in the near future.
He told our representative that
things are looking good in that sec
tion, though, of course, a little quiet
on account of the present financial situ-
alton, but 1t made little difference with
the work being done in that part of
the country.
The operators on the Boilermaker
group have recently established a steam
hoist on their property, which is 10

Last Thursday James Marshal of
Golconda visited Winnemucca, bring
ing with him some samples from the
Iowa group of claims in that district,
in which he is interested with ID. y.
Osbourne and r. Collier. This property
is located in the vicinity of the Kra-
mer strike and has well-defined lodges
running through it, being traced for
the length of three claims From this
property free gold paintings may be
taken at any place on the ledge. While
doing their location work, Marshall
found the ledge, which is four feet in
width. Mr.. Marshall stated that his
present visit to Winnemucca was for
the purpose of having an average as,
say from this ledge, and that as soon
as returns were received he would in
form this paper of the same.
The leasers on the Kramer property
are sinking on four foot ledge, and
are about fourteen feet down, and as
the ore continues to have the same
values as at the surface, they are pre-
pairing TO make a shipment in the near
future.

TRAGIC ENDS OF
TWO men

Two prominent men of Churchill met
death about the same time several days
ago and in almost the same manner.
Their deaths have caused considerable
sorrow on account of the tragedy con-
nected with them.
W. II. Brown, former clerk of
Churchill county, was found beside his
wagon near the Warren Williams
ranch with his head crushed to a pulp
1t is supposed that Brown attempted
to alight from the wagon and fell be
meath the wheels and had his life
crushed out.
About the same time that Brown fell
beneath his wagon and met death, A.
Ferguson, another pioneer, met death
in almost similar manner. He started
to dismount from the horse he was
riding and fell to the ground, and the
front wheel of his ore wagon passed
over his body resulting in death a
short time later. Both men left fam
lilies.

present rather slow in Rosebud said
Charles Kohl business man at that
place, the mines are certainly max
ing showing, and more especially the
Durango Girl and Blk Six, both of
them in the Sulphur Road county, north
of town. A few days ago J. R. Mum,
who has the lease on the Durango Girl,
came into town showing a specimen
taken, it is claimed, from a fve-foot
ledge, all of which shows the same
stuff. which it is estimated will reach
over 5000 in value.
The Big Six is doing extensive
work and few days previous reported
the discovery of rich ore shoot on
the property.
Extensive work is being done on
the Brown Palace, White Alps and
Golden Anchor, all of which are i'm

Rev. Wilson preached a sermon on the
necessity of more sympathetic spirit
existing among men in consideration of
the faults of fellow men. Men are
too ready, he said, to criticise faults
of fellow men instead of exercising
spirit of helpfulness. There was
good attendance at the church, and the

Yerington. The local bank has at all
times been able to furnish us with
ready cash on demand during all the
period. Several new buildings of ce
ment and brick have been constructed
during the past few months, and ali
the mines in the vicinity are doing
extensive work Notable among the
number are the Nevada Douglas mine
and the Blue Stone property, both of
which have a large force of men at
work. These properties are both well
developed copper propositions with
good values of gold and silver The
Nevada Douglas has 1,000-foot tull
mel prosecuting the ledge. which shows
large body of ore averaging high in
copper for nearly the whole distance
On the Blue Stone property it is esti
mated that over $1,000,000 worth of 2
per cent copper has been blocked out,
and there is still large quantity to he
found. -
From Humboldt comes the report that
the old FiftySix mine, so long closed
down, but opened by j r. Turner last
year, has made two shipments of rich
copper ore, averaging over 40 per cent,
and there is at present another ship
ment ready. Some time ago W. Foyer
and partner secured their lease from
j. r. Turner and are now doing exten-
sive work on the same. The peculiar
thing about this property is the condi-
tion in which the ore is found. ID.
Booth stated to our representative that
large boulders which are apparently
only castings for the valuable stuff, as
when broken open pebbles of 40 per
cent copper are easily extracted from
the center. There is large body of
this rock in the shaft now being
worked, and as surface indications show
more of the same character, this prop
erty has all the appearances of being
permanent
1t is also reported that J. Nelson,
well known prospeetor in that vicinity,
has made another sale, the last being
to some Los Angeles capitalists, who,
it is claimed, purchased his property
located in Garden canyon, Humboldt
range, and about eight miles east of
Humboldt. This property consists of
several valuable gold, silver and galena
claims, upon which extensive work has
been done. The price paid for the
property was 100000, of which sub
stantial cash payment has been made.
1t is expected work will lNe commenced
Immediately and before long new
shipper will be heard from in that
