NOTED MINING
LADY GOES TO
COLDBANKS

Miss Theresa Aguirre, well known
in Nevada mining circles, and who
attained prominence chiefly through
her connection with the discovery of
the rich mines at Wonder, was pass
enger ON this mornings stage for
Goldbanks, the new Humboldt county
mining camp. Miss Aguirre has pre-
viously visited Goldbnnks and is very
favorably impressed with the possi
bilities there and it is her intention
now to make more substantial invest
ments, although the nature Of these
is not yet ready for publication.
Miss Aguirre is of Spanish descent
and was born in the mining town of
Bodie, Cal. Ever since a little girl
she has been interested in mining
and the lure of the mining life has a
strong attraction for her At the pres
ent time she is interested in almost
all of the new Nevada camps, either
as holder of real estate or of min
ing stocks. OF the latter she is pos
sessed of many thousands, and she is
reputed to have made considerable
money out of mining in this state
since the discovery of Tonopah.
Inc story ol HeT coHueclloH Win
the discovery of Wonder is interest
ing, in that she recovered large
amount of money from the sale of
those properties which she was in dan
ger of being defrauded out of. The
discoverers of Wonder had been
grubstaked by Miss Aguirre, when
they stumbled onto the rich ledges of
the Churchill county camp. These
men, three Of them, in locating the
Woder properties, failed to locate
Miss Aguirre in the claims, and later
sold the property without giving her
her rightful share of the property.
In order to recover this amount she
was forced to sue the discoverers, and
did so with success, recovering what
was due her.
Miss Aguirre expects to spend the
winter in Goldbanks.

NO ATTEMPT WAS
MADE AT THEFT
He ASSERTS

James P. Anderson, Jr., who was
served with warrant for arrest,
sworn to by Lee Doak, a buyer for
the Western Meat company, charging
Anderson with the theft of 800 head
of sheep, was in town Monday, but re-
mained only short time. Before leav-
ing he stated that the difference had
been patched up and it is understood
that the sheep that were missing were
paid for by Anderson.
The story as published regarding
the affair was that Doak had bought
300 head of sheep from J. p. Ander-
son, father Of the young man who was
served with the warrant, to be deliv-
cred at Golconda and thence to be
driven to Lovelock, where Doak re-
ceived them. When the sheep arrived
at Lovelock there were 800 short, and
upon investigation it was learned
that Anderson, with herder, had
been seen driving band of sheep on
the back trail the next morning after
the sheep were delivered at Golconda.
Anderson while in town Monday
stated that the band of sheep had
escaped from the main band at Col
conda and had taken the back trail,
and that he and his nerder came
across them on their return home.
Anderson stated that he then put
his herder in charge of the sheep, it
being his intention to properly report
them to the man who purchased them.

GOLD CIRCLE WILL
BE GREAT CAMP
HE SAYS

H. Stewart, a well known prospect
or of Nome, Alaska and GoIdfeld, re-
turned to Winnemucca during the
week from the Gold Circle district in
what is known as Squaw valley To
representative of the Silver State
News Mr.. Stewart made the follow
ing statement regarding the district
in which he is widely interested:
At present / am in Winnemucca
to purchase copper plates, to be used
in placer workings upon my ground.
as in my opinion, as well as in the
opinion of other men of vast expert
ence in Alaska and especially at
Nome. The country in the vicinity of
Gold Circle can show more extensive
deposits of free gold. and to all ap-
pearance of larger value, than those
on the beach at Nome. OF course ]
am only speaking of what is in sight
at present, for it is a new camp, as
the first strike was made in Squaw
valley only last September; but the
work that has been done up to the
present time by the few prospectors
and help to be had, the showing is
great
At present four properties are do
ing extensive work and in a short
time Mr.. Lancey will commence work
on his property in the camp, and from
values received from the ground in
question, is such that it will undoubt-
edly bring to the surface ore as rich
as any found in the state.
81 was instructed on leaving the
camp to state that any and II men
desiring work--men who are expert
enced miners-will be employed, as
labor is hard thing for us to get at
present -
In speaking of the Midas, the prin-
cipal strike, he said: 81 can only say
that development work continues to
show values far greater than hereto
fore shown. This property is owned
by Dick Bramburger, and | consider
him to have a bonanza.

PROSPECTS OF A DEAL IN
THE HAVILAND DISTRICT

w. Critchfeld (known as Bill Tay-
lor) and his partner, J. Shaw, in COM
pany with B. j. Parlor, a well known
mining man of Placerville, CAL, made
trip to the Haviland district dur
ing the week.
This trip was made to inspect the
several groups o. claims owned by
Messrs. Critchfield and Shaw in the
interests of prominent California cap
italists. The lodges on these prop
critics are well defined and have shown
values as high as $1,I00 in gold and
silver This is certainly boomer for
this section and the state, as it goes
to show that, though financial crisis
is athand all over the country, capi-
talists still have faith in Nevada and
this section in particular.

BUILDING ROAD
FOR THE BOYD
BASIN MINES

G.. A. Lane and S. McKown, the
owners of the principal and original
location in the Boyd 3 Basin district,
situated in the Pine Forest grove
about 100 miles northwest of Winnie
mucca, arrived in town few days
ago. They have in their possession
ore containing free gold. Specimens
shown to our representative were lit
orally saturated with gold. Mr.. Lane
stated that he had some 20 claims in
the vicinity, the veins of which were
of different widths-9, IL and IA feet
all containing values. This. country
is well timbered and has plenty of
water.
The prospectors in the camp have
started to build cabnis for the winter
A townsite has been started and the
company is SO well pleased with con-
ditions surrounding the district that
they have placed large force of men
to work constructing mountain
road of some three miles, of which
two miles has already been complet-
ed, which will when finished by the
18th of November, obviate the great
est drawback heretofore to the camp
to establish a stage line to this place
from Quinn River Crossing, which
will add greatly to the present facil-
tiles for reaching the camp. In speak
ing of the properties Mr.. Lane contin-
ued in the following strain:
The prospectors already having To-
Gated ground are doing development
work on the same, as up to the pres
ent time none have located poor
ground; in fact all report rich finds.
Just before my leaving, Mr.
La Mar, one of the men in
terested in the camp, reported
a rich silver strike with ledge 6 feet
wide, and like all the others brought
to notice well defined and traced for
considerable distance. At the same
time McGinlin and Dempsey reported
a new silver strike of large values not

ANOTHER MILLER &
Lux WATER
SUIT

Alleging that the first use of the
waters from the Quinn rive was back
in 1872, and that the original home
steaders of the Quinn River Crossing
ranch, of which they are the descend
ents in ownership, were the first to
use the waters Oh the stream for irri
CATION purposes, Miller & Lux, under
the corporation name of the Pacific
Live Stock company, have filed a
complaint in the district court
against every rancher along the
course of the stream who has been us
ing water from the river, and in the
prayer of the complaint ask that the
defendants be required to set forth
their respective claims to the water
and that they be forever restrained
from using any water that rightfully
belongs to the plaintiffs.
The defendants in this action as
named in the complaint are: the Hum
boldt Cattle Co., Anderson Land and
Stock Co., Malpitas Land and Live
Stock Co., Milpitas Land and Live
of the estate of Charles Mcconnell
deceased, Mary M Mcconnell, Charles
M. Mcconnell, Clara Anderson, Do
mingo Bengoa, Ambrose d. Callahan,
Luciano Coscorsa, Charles Clute. J. B.
Crandan, M. Danglemaicr, Katherine
Danglemaier, A. L. De Long, w. NJ.
De Long, l. B. English, Martin Ech
ave, Juan Erquaga, II. N. Fulgham
Jerry Hearn, G. Hertado, f. Landasa
bal, G. l.. Lowery, T. A. Mayor, W.
IA. Minor, j. ID. Minor, Jr., H. II. Me
Colley, Adelaide Mullaney. Frank P.
Snapp, John N. Vance and Others.
Thus the big cattle and land cor
poration has brought to an issue an
action upon which they have been
working for the past two years. En-
gineers, surveyors and attorneys have
spent much time in the Quinn River
country during the past two years
gathering necessary data and informa
tion for the prosecution of the action.
That the complaint would be filed
at some time was well known by all
the ranchers living along the stream.
although it was believed by many
that this would be held off pending
the results of several minor suits that
had been instituted among the differ.
ent water users, were settled.
The Quinn river rises in the vicinity
Of McDermitt, on the northern boun-
dairy of the state, and thence flows
south for distance of 100 miles
through the fertile Quinn River valley
before reaching the Quinn River and
Hog John ranches oil the Pacific Live
Stock company.
The Quinn river suit of Miller &
Lux is very similar to the big suit
which they instituted in Mason val
ley against 130 ranchers living along
the course Of that stream and irrigat-
ing the land with its waters. ais
suit was filed back in 1902 and hung
fire in the United States court in Car.
son City for five years. 1t is just now.
however, approaching settlement
through arbitration
II is hoped that this method will be
resorted to in the settlement of the
Quinn river matter. The tone of the
complaint is antagonistic, evi
dencing the desire of the plaintiffs
to have a peaeeable settlement of the
matter

SEVEN TROUGS DISTRICT

F. E. Phelps, prominent mining
man from Seven Troughs, has been in
Winnemucca for the past few days
and reports that extensive work ON
all the principal properties in his vi
cinity still continues. He states that
though the present financial situation
all over the country has done consid-
erable to slacken work in Seven
Troughs district, the same as it has
affected all other portions Of the
country, the apparent damage to the
camp is not visible and the good
work on properties still continues and
the leasers report good returns; in
fact, Seven Troughs will continue to
