RICH STRIKE IN soUAw VALLEY

The Battle Mountain Central Neva-
dan says that considerable excitement
has been created by the discovery of a
rich gold ledge in Squaw valley by a
prospector named James McDuffy. There
IS big rush of prospectors to tho
scene of the new strike and many
claims have been staked.
The location of the strike, as nsar as
can be ascertaincd, is six miles from
the Bliss ranch in Squaw valley. Pros
pectors at various times have found
rich gold bearing float in that vicinity.
but the efforts to find the ledge proved
unsuccessful. Winnemucca people who
are familiar with that section of tho
country believe that the le lgs discov
cred by McDuffy is the one from whicl
TIE rich float came.
