There was much excitement on the
ground on account Of this find, although
the Importance Of the strike is not de-
termined. General Manager william A.
Gatzen yesterday evening gave The
News the statement that the vein has
been opened up at. the present time about
IL feet in the shaft. which is now 2S2
feet deep, and by a crosscut on the ITO
foot level for IL feet in a westerly direc-
ton. The vein is of solid quartz and is
from IA inches to two and one-half feet
wide. Its dip is towards the south, and
the values btained were a little less
thar $12 on an average. AS the vein Is
widening out with depth. Mr.. Gatzen
believes that his recent prediction will
be proven by a strike Of shipping ore
around the 300-foot level.

The district around the old camp of
Reveille, in the eastern part Of Nye
county, is the scene of a sensational
strike. Two discoveries were made al
most simultaneously. At a depth Of
eight feet, Jack Long is reported to
nave cut a four-foot ledge that assays
clear across. $4,000 a ton. The ore is
largely horn silver and can be whitfield
with a knife. The other discovery was
made by a man named Hildebrand. sur
face assays running as high as 1910 a
ton. A prospector named Hyde has a
shaft down 10 feet in the same vicinity
and has secured assays of 800 a ton.
The scene Of the strikes is sixteen miles
east of the old Reveille mill n six
miles north Of Reveille.
The formation of the country Is said
to be remarkably like that Of the Gold
field district. The Reveille district has
been known for forty years and has
been a large producer of silver-lead ore.
The news of the strikes a started
quite a stampede to the district from

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Little Daughter of alr. and Mrs. Harden of Uarkley Streck By
 Train

Last Friday evening as the west bound passenger train was
 passing Coin siding, the little
 eighteen months old baby of
 Mr. and Mrs. Harden, who had strayed from her parents in 8 field near by, was standing on the track and was struck by the train and knocked from tie track q distance of sev- eral feet. All who saw the ac- cident had no other thought than that the little tot bad been zille outright, but Dr. Warrington, who happened to be passenger on the train, made an eXamina- ton and found that the child was still alive. The mother had arrived upon the scene from the field near by where she was assisting he" husband and she was almost frantic with grief, thinking that her little daughter was dead and it was with some difficulty that she was made to realize that her little girl was still living. The mother and the child were placed on the train and brought here to the office of Dr. Poynor, local surgeon fer the railroad. Drs. Poynor and Worthington made careful examination aad found that there were no injuries that were likely to result fatally the most serious being broken, 5high and some bruises about the head.
 The child was taken home the next day and has since been do- ing well and there seems to be no doubt as to it5 recovery.
