Work Progressing on Adams Hill


+. x. Smitt, manager of the Adams
Hill Mining Company, was in Eureka
Tuesday, and in speaking Of the COM
pany's property said: "Work on the
company's property is being pushed as
rapidly as possible. Since Jan. 1 the
main shaft has been retimbered to the
50-foot level. from which they are run
ming a crosscut tunnel to tap an ore
body which is outcropping on the sur
face. This crosscut has been driven
about 20 of the 1875 feet necessary to go
before reaching the ledge, which has
been done since Mr.. Smitt took charge
of the work. A crosscut of about 80
feet in length has also been run in a
true fssure of highly mineralizsd mat
ter, and the work is now being pushed
in this direction. 1t will be no sur
prise to run into an ore chute al any
time. since in the early days a consider
able quantity of good ore was taken out
by leasers right 1t the surface of this
vein." Mr.. Smitt further stated that
the outlook is very promising for the
stockholders of the Adams Hill Mining
Company.

HOLD-UP
viii Huebner Narrowly Escapes In
Jury from q Thrown Missile

july Jul atIoAt0
An occurrence of last Monday night
seems TO indicate that there are some
people about the town whose presence
could well be dispensed with.
As A. b. Lightfoot and Will Huebner
were going down town from their home
on Spring street about 2 O'Clock. while
following the usual path taken by peo.
pie from that part of town through the
alley back of the old corral in the rear
Of g. s. Henderson's blacksmith shop.
they had just emerged from behind the
wall Of the corral when q heavy missile.
later found to be q brick, passed be.
tween them about five feet from the
ground. IL was thrown with great
force. and was evidently intended to
stop the progress Of Mr.. Huebner. who
was four or five feet in advance Of Mr..
Lightfoot. and first came into view from
behind the building.
Neither of the young men was armed
aud it was too dark to see anything ever
a few feet away. although the assailant
did not retreat farther than the nearby
shed until after Mr.. Lightfoot aud Mr..
Huebner had gone. He said nothing.
and no attempt was made at that time
to bring him to light. A few minutes
later a party went back to look over the
ground and find the miscreant if posi-
BILE, but it was too late to get any con.
elusive evidence as to his identity.
1t is thought that the assailant sup
posed there was but one person advanc-
ing. and that the motive was robbery.
since neither Of the young men has a
known enemy in the world, and it was
too dark to have distinguished who
might be approaching.
This is the first incident bordering on
a hold.up to occur in this vicinity for a
good many years, and everyone has felt
entirely safe to go anywhere at any
time he chose to do SO. but it is probable
that the return Of prosperity has brought
with it at least one undesirable char
acter, and further precaution will be
wise until he is apprehended.
