DOLLAR ORE
OPENED AT CRACKERACK

on the surface. Ore is being sent to Sill
yer Lake as fast as teams can be secured
to make the haul.
The new shoot was struck In a drift
from the tunnel or last Saturday. but
news of the rich strike was not given
out by the management for several days.
The ore is Of the kind that sets men
on edge, being a honeycombed quartz,
with the gold showing in chunks all
over 1t, like kernels of wheat. Ore is
now being stopped from the new strike,
and needless to say, is carefully guarded
by the Bonanza officials, as several sacks
Of high grade have disappeared from
the Bonanza dump in the last few days.
Ore is also being extracted in the
course Of development work from the
main ledge in the tunnel. which now
shows in width of six feet. Samples
taken this week gave average returns
of 800 in gold and silver. Four dis
tinct veins nave now been opened up
on the Bonanza ground. all Of the ore
being of the character named.-Cracker-

Another cross assure. carrying high
gold values at various points. has been
encountered in the East Manhattan sec
ton. 1t was discovered some few days
ago on Mineral Hill ground and pans
freely wherever the quartz tops the
surface. 1t remains to be seen. how
ever, whether development at depth will
be accompanied by continuity of gold
values in paying amount.

Intense excitement was caused
throughout the Crackerjack district
Tuesday when assay returns were made
public from the new strike in the Crack
erjack Bonanza tunnel. One thousand
dollars in gold and silver is said to be
the average of the four-foot shoot
opened up, three samples running as
follows: $S44. $1.160, 1920, the silver
value ranging from 20 to 80 ounces to
the ton.
That the Bonanza is one of the most
remarkable and richest mines ever found
in the desert region will be appreciated
when 1t is known that the only develop
ment work done on the property is in
the shape of a 120-foot tunnel, from
which ore has been extracted from the
beginning. There are now piled on the
dump at the Bonanza over 800 tons OF
ore which will average 800. A pile
of high grade averaging 5000 contains
so tons, besides which there Is some
thing like 400 sacks of high grade ore
awaiting teams. No a bad record for
mine which has been barely scratched

GOOD STRIKE MADE
ON sxIDoo PROPERTY

A strike of great Importance has been
made on the Granite Contact property,
which promises to prove one of the real
bonanzas of the camp.
In the new tunnel lately started on
the recently purchased Gold Bird claim
a magnificent showing of free gold was
shot into, last week, but no
ment was made of 1t at that time as
1t was thought best to do more work be-
fore shouting.
The last seven days work has proven
the bonanza character of the strike and
1t is getting bigger every day. From
a narrow seam the vein has widened to
two feet, half Of which is literally shot
full of visible free gold. The richer
portion of the vein is being broker down
carefully and the ore put into sacks.
Owing to the richne and loose charac-
ter of the ore much of the values woul
be lost by putting it on the dump. A
lot of sacks ave been ordered from
Rhyolite and 1t is the intention of the
management to prepare a shipment as
soon as possible.-Skidoo News.

Man, Woman and Boy Murdered.

Danville, Va, Dec. 3O.-Joe Patrillo,
an Italian laborer; Maggie Sullivan, an
American woman, and Lawrence Sulli-
van, the 12-year-old son of Maggie Sulli-
van, were shot to death at an early hour
Saturday at camp G: railway EN-.
ployees, about mile from Motley's sta
tion, which is about 80 miles from Dan
vile. The murders aro tho result, it is
believed, of bitter family feud. Fred
Ammoto, an Italian who has charge of
the commissary at the camp, and his
son, Allie Ammoto, have been arrested,
charged with the killings.
The Sullivan woman. it is alleged, de-
serted her husband at Bedford City, Va,
some time ago, and has been living with
Patrillo as his wife. Tho Ammotos re-
side in a tent near Patrillo, in the camp,
and the two families have been at enmity
for some time.

sultation OF railway officials and the
State Railroad Commission; it is made
for the purpose of, il possible, meeting
the demands of the public for, quicker
trips from the upper to the lower part Of
the State, and vice versa. Radical changes
on the Southern's n.s!n ,.a5 have made
necessary the changes on the Blue Ridge,
and II they do not accomplish the pur-
pose for which they are made they will
be revoked.
The situation in regard to railway
schedules has gotten to be serious mat.
ter in that it keeps some one continually
on the "kicking'' list. If the present
change does not prove, what it is in
tended to he, we hope that somehow a
schedule can be arranged that will at
once give the public adequate accommo-
dation and at the same time conform to
the wishes of all interested parties.
For the present it is best to give the
sohedule.a fair trial before trying to have
it revoked. Several railroad men to
whom we have spoken in regard to At
have stated that, though personally op.
posed to it because of it's before day aud
almost midnight features they believed
it will prove a better solution OF the
problem of quick transits I'd sil points
than any schedule we have had:
Let us wait and sec what 'isS accom-
plished by it. If it proves failure, then
let us go to the proper authorities, andi
armed with facts, secure the relief
needed. On what, now, could we base
protest? Nothing more substantial
than that it is unpleasant to get up early
enough to catch 5 O'Clock train, or that
it isn't convenient to get home at 10
at night. The answer would naturally
be that if we did not choose to patronize
the early and late trains we should leave
on the a. m. train, or come in at 4.30 in
the afternoon-hours almost identical to
the arrival and departure of the regular
passenger trains as operated at present.
Railroads are public servants. Their
operation should be 30 arranged as to
effect the greatest good to the greatest
number. Those in direct authority are
men interested in the welfare of the sec.
tions furnishing the business of their
road. Certainly Walhalla furnishes no
small amount of the revenue of the Blue
Ridge railway, and we are confident that
Superintendent Anderson will look to
the best interests of our people along
with those of his road.
[After the above was in type we re-
ceived request to withhold the name of
the author of the article referred to, and
for that reason we have substituted the
words "a party" for his name.

IS KILLED; OVER 100 INJURED.
TERRIBLE RAILROAD WRECK NEAR WASH
INGr0N-NEARLY EVERYONE INJURED.

Washington, Deo 30.-Thirty-five peo
pie were killed and over one hundred in.
jured in collision on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at Terra Gotta, a station
about three miles from Washington. An
express train ran into the Frederick
local. Three cars of the loca. were com.
pletely demolished. The injured are
being brought to Washington as fast as
they can be taken from the wreck.
The Frederick train had stopped at
Terra Gotta station and was crashed into
by freight, the rear cars of the passen-
ger being telescoped
United States District Attorney D. w.
Baker was among the injured, and sus-
tanned internal injuries.
A rumor says that United States Sena-
tor Redfield Proctor, of Vermont, was
among. the killed, but this has not been
verified.
The wreck occurred at $40 this even-
ing in dense fog. The three rear cars
of the crowded Frederick train were
smashed.
Mrs. Edith Barnes and daughter,
Miss Estelle, had just been put on the
train at Terra Gotta by the formers
brother, Geo. III. Burgess, when the
wreck occurred. He was one of the first
to join in the rescue work. His sister
and niece were among the first to be
found in the wreckage.
District Attorney Baker, despite his
heel being cut off. walked the one and
quarter miles to Brooklaud, and brought
the first news of the wreck. He was
completely exhausted, and after medical
treatment was sent to the city.

AT the Turn OF the Year.

In closing the record of the old and
looking forward to the new year, let us
call to our minds the blessings which
without number have been poured out
upon the people of all sections; let us
rejoice in the Unprecedented prosperity
which has created work for every willing
hand, and when tempted to complain be-
cause Of tho lack of laborers or the in
efficiency of those we do get, let us con-
trast how much better it is for all the
people that wages are high and employ
ers are hunting for laborers than were
conditions ten years ago, when workmen
sought in vain for work even at starva-
tion wages, when farmers were in despair
because of low prices and when bankers,
merchants, manufacturers and railroad
people alike looked with gloomy fore
bodings to the future. Let us review
these conditions and rejoice with exceed.
ing joy in the blessings which have
crowned our country, and in meekne $
and humility of spirit strive as nation
and as individuals to close the year with
Thanksgiving for the pas. and for the
bright promise of the new year.-Manu-
