SAYS DISEASE
IS LESSENlNG
DIR. HICKS PRAISES
THE SHEEP INDUSTRY.
Nevada Sheep Are Not So Generally
Affected With Scab AS Else
where On the Coast.

RENO, May 23.--Dr. H. II. Hicks,
federal sheep inspector in charge of
the field work in Utah, Nevada and
California, left Reno last night for Sac
ramento, preparatory to making a tour
of inspection in California. DR.. Hicks
has spent several days in Reno going
over the reports of range inspectors.
DR.. Hicks speaks highly of the effort
which is being put forward by this
State to eliminate tn escab which
caused theg overnor of Oregon to lay
an embargo on Nevada sheep. He says
that the disease is getting under con-
troll in this State, and that it is but
matter of time until it will be
samped out altogether.
1t is the general opinion of sheep
men that the Oregon sheep are about
the worst infected of any on the coast,
and that the embargo was rather su-
perlluous. Several attempts to SNUG
gle infected Oregon sheep into this
State are known to have been made.
The California sheep also have the
scab, and the disease has gained con-
siderable range in Washington.

GOOD VALUES ARE
OBTAINED AT
DISASTER
Especial Correspondence


The Disaster Peak mining district
IS situated about eighty miles due
north of Winnemucca and is located
IN granite and prophyry belt. The
values of the camp run high, as has
been proven by numerous ASSAYS.
Among the many groups upon which
assays have been myde the following
are of Interest,"
The Humboldt Queen, averages $1s2
in gold and SO in silver. The Poor
Mans group, averages $44 in gold and
sl76 in silver, and concentrates on this
group run $115.S3 in silver and $1.792
in gold. The Golden Eagle group runs
$42 in silver and $44 in gold.
Mtssrs. Hyatt and Waldo of Lovelock
have group in the porphyry which
runs from 800 to $50. They also
have another group with four foot
ledge which averages $50 in gold.
Thompson and Madden of Reno have
just struck lead on their group which
horns extra good, but up to the present
time no assays have been made. There
is much copper in the district, most Of
the ore running in some instances up
as high as 40 to SO per cent.

RECENT STRIKE rs
MADE AT HAPPY CREEK.
Says a New Strike Has Been
Made at Northern Camp.

w. J. Mcconnell of Goldfield, who
has had men prospecting in the Pine
Forest and Antelope ranges, returned
yesterday afternoon from Happy Creek,
where he has number of claims To-
Gated. Mr.. Mcconnell reports that a
recent strike has bee nmade at Happy
Creek and some very good looking
ore has been uncovered. He had with
him samples of the ore discovered and
they showed free gold in various
places. Nothing yet that would war
rant a rush, but nevertheless a
mighty good prospect is his summary
of the camp at this time.
Mr.. Mcconnell IS an experienced
man and has had much to do with the
uncovering of mineral wealth in Ne
vada. He was one Of the original To-
Gators at Manhattan and now owns
valuable property there.

ANOTHER lS!ADDED
TO THE RIVERS
VICTIMS
8. .IovONNONNI BROWNS
AT THE PEDROLI RANCH.
While Attempting TO Ford Stream His
Horse Founders and the Rider
Went to His Death.

Another name has been added to the
long list Of victims whose lives have
been sacrificed to the mad nndercur
rents the treacherous quicksand bot
tom and the sudden jumping off places
of the Humboldt river.
s. Giovonnonni, an Italian, resi-
dent of Humboldt county for the past
five years and newly naturalized cit
izen, is the last person whose life has
gone out beneath the Humboldt Is wa
ters. The accident happened at the
Pedroli ranch. about twelve miles be-
low Winnemucca, at about o'elccE
this morning and was witnessed by two
persons, one a Western Pacific sur
veyor and the other a farm hand en-
ployed on the Pedroli ranch
According to their stories, Giovon-
nonni went to his death in much the
same manner that Orvin Heering, the
Humboldt's IS last victim, who was drwn
ed at the Stone House on April 13.
Giovonnonni was attempting to ford
the river horse back and his horse
floundered Instead of dismounting
from the animal and catching hold
on the saddle and allowing the horse
to pull him ashore, the rider renamed
in the saddle. Being weighted down
by the man the horse sank out of sight
and the rider was washed out of the
saddle. 1t was some time before the
horse appeared and the man was not
seen to rise after once going down.
The two witnesses on the river banks
were powerless to render any and what
ever. With the agonizeo cry of the
drowned man as he went down to his
death ringing in their ears, they
strained their eyes for glimpse of
him, but to no avail, for he did not
appear to the surface again.
The horse, with great difficulty,
swan ashore. but il was only by a
rare chance that it escaped drowning.
A ranch hand came to town imme-
diately after the drowning and noti
fed the authorities and obtained ma
terials to search the river for the body
Acoroner inquest will be held i'm
mediately after the body is recovered.

SHELTER
FOR HARMONY
HILLS ORE
OPERATORS IN HARMONY HILL
STEADILY BLOCKING OUT ORE.
superintendent B. G. Williams Says
That a Smelter Will Be Erected
On the Humboldt River.

Operations in development work in
the performing of assessment work on
various claims and in the blocking
cut of immense ore bodies is going on
steadily on the property of the Son
oma Mining company, recently pur-
chased from Deiss and Sigmund in the
Harmony Hills. At present force is
sinking shaft on the eight foot ledge
that runs the entire length of the
company's clsins This force, states
y. G. Williams, SUPERINTENDENT for the
company, will be increased to fifty
men inside of thirty days ard three
shifts will be surk ard two long tun-
nels run, which. is believed, will de
termine to the satisfaction of the
rwners the approximate amount and
sharacter of ore that can be taken out.
We do not intend to ship a pound
of ore, said Mr.. Williams yesterday
afternoon.
The ore of this company carries iron,
copper, gold and silver In much of
the ore the copper is of low grade and
would not permit shipping. The com
pany plans are to erect a smelter on
the river at this point and transport
the ore down by means of gravity
tramway.
Our plans for smelter,'' said Mr..
Williams, 'thave not yet assumed d.
finite shape, but nevertheless we have
positively decided to erect smelter
BY means of gravity tramway we
could transport the ore from the mines
to the smelter site at less than cost
of ten cents per ton and we could
handle five per cent copper at hand

LEAGUE PLANS TO
SET STOCK PRICES.

RENO, New, May 22.-The Nevada
Commercial League has started move
ment to make Reno the central mining
stock market for the United States.
The mining stock market of Nevada
is now controlled in San Francisco, and
it is the belief of mining men and op-
orators owning properties in Nevada,
that the prices should be made in Ne
vada, where the mines are located.
At a meeting of the Commercial
League Captain w. l.. Cox was ap-
pointed to communicate with the
principal stockholders and the prin-
cipal stock brokers of the United
States and endeavor to have them
form agencies in this city. A com
mittee was also appointed to confer
with the local banks and get them to
credit the buyers of stock so that the
buying and selling of stock may be
easily carried on by outside buyers.

DEAD MAN AN ENGLISHMAN.

cation by Wells Fargo detectives into
he identity of the body found in "a
hole near the Eight-Mile house and
which was thought to be that of
Sacramento resident from the par
tally destroyed address found upon
;he person, has led Coroner Bell to
c'ieve that the man was murdered
ana that he was the agent OF some
English investment concern who was
travelling in this vicinity on mining
business and that he was killed for
his money The clothes of the deceased
are Of English make, which gives rise
to this theory.
