a Buffalo Hunt and an Indian Inter.
ruption on the Plains.
Two soldiers who belonged to a body
Of troops crossing the western plains
In 1852 started out to capture buffalo.
A herd had been seen about a mile
distant. Their horses were In good con
dition, and. says the author OF "Five
Years Dragon" they had every rea-
son TO anticipate good sport.
They approached the herd at a walk
and were within easy pistol shot be-
fore the buffaloes saw them. Then one
Of them, named Peel, went to the west,
the other to the east. Peel's compan.
ion had dropped his first buffalo when
the voice of Peel rang out, "Get on
your horseP
No time was lost, for, looking east,
he pointed to fifty or more Indians in
half circle half a mile away their
left wing 30 far advanced that retreat
70 camp was cut OF.
Consultation was brief. Peel led the
way down the hill and circled round a
thicket, carefully selecting the firm
buffalo grass sod, so as to leave no
trail, and drew into cover not twenty
yards from where some Of the Indians
were sure to come down.
There they sat on their horses. pls-
tolls In hand. They had no future
plans; they might have to fight death
under that bluff; they would do what
ever circumstances seemed to dictate.
They had not long to wait. The In
dams came rafting down the rock
trails leading into the bottom, sending
out their bloodcurdllng warwhoop at
every jump. They seemed to think
that the fleeing men would try to es-
cape toward camp and be enveloped in
the circle; did not think that they
would do anything but run for their
lives. which would be sure death. One
brawny brave drew rein at the foot of
the trail where the men had come
down, raised himself In the stirrups
and looked sharply toward them,
Peel's companion, believing they were
discovered, raised his pistol to shoot
but Peel quietly reached over and
placing his hand on his comrades arm
gently pressed II down.
In a moment the Indian was or t.
the west. showing by his actions tina
he had not seen them.
The way now seemed clear, and they
quietly walked their horses up where
they had gone down a few moments
before, turned south and gently trottet
back toward camp. No fresh meat
cheered the camp that night, but they
had a new adventure to talk over.

Arbitration Not New.

In the days OF duellng more dis
putes weRe settled by being referred
to a court similar to a modern court
Of arbitration than by meeting on the
field. The 'code Of honor has been
severely ridiculed, but when its princi
Piles were lived up to 1t proved to be
more Of peacemaker than promoter
of bloodshed. According to the code,
a gentleman who believed he had been
aggrieved was in honor bound to avoid
hOstilitles until his complaint had been
considered by two representatives Of
his interests and two chosen by the
other party. II this board Of referees
should decide that there existed no
grounds for a quarrel the matter must
end there. On the other hand, hostile
meeting must take place If the referees
declared the quarrel just. There was
no appeal from the judgment of the
court, and the penalty for failing to
respect 1t was ostracism from the so
ciety of gentlemen.
It has been estimated that at least
90 per cent of The disputes submitted
TO advisers under the dueling code
were declared trivial, and hostilities
were forbidden. Not only that, peace
thus brought about was permanent.

LIVELY TIMES IN GOLDFIELD

They call it a duh day in Goldfeld,
from a newspaper standpoint, when
some tragedy fails to eventuate.
Though the regular thing is a sex
problem, solved by a bullet through
some faithless heart, of late this kind
of monotony has been frequently bro
ken by some mining man effecting his
Owl q~uietus. "No cause for the rash
act,' reports the local papers, Eek

he has been respondent the last few
days. The poor devils have been
awakened from their pipe dreams of
wealth; aroused to a realization Oh tne
fact that these beautiful autographed
stock certificates are not real money,
merely stage properties But
these are not true sports. The recall
thing would never be driven from this
fascinating game OF life by any such
triviality as being hurled from a pin
naele of imaginary wealth to the
depths of real poverty.-Ex

A Mine That Has Produced for
More Than Thirty Years
Output OF this Property Caused the
Removal Of the Tariff on SULPHUR

The presence of j. M. Mcfarland in
Salt Lake Tuesday, says the Salt
Lake Herald, reminded old.timers of
the city that he is in cnarge of one Of
the unique and historical properties
of the west, a property that has been
one of the very few producing prop
o~sitions in the state of Nevada during
the past 80 years or more of stagna-
tion prior to the find of ore at Tono-
pah. This property is known as the
Nevada Sulphur mine, and is owned
by a company of that name The
property is located in Humboldt coun-
ty, within two or three miles of the
present site Of Rosebud.
Near Rosebud.
The Nevada Sulphur mine has been
operated for over 80 years, and with
in easy reaching distance Of the pres
ent splendid mines of Rosebud. In
fact the management of the sulphur
mine has been cutting wood for the
property from a radius of Is miles for
years, its employees tramping over that
ground that is now commanding untold
fortunes for its precious mineral
wealth. These opportunities were ov-
erlooked for the reason that the min
ers employed by the Sulphur company
did not understand the sort of rock
that is known to be full of silver and
gold. In one place where a road had
to be made boulders carrying about
1000 ounces silver to the ton we're
thrown aside. It should be remember
ed that experts turned Tonopah down
at first beause they did not know the
rock carrying the metal.

The prize was captured by G.. w
p , and Pat Delaney. Burge, who
was out hunting sage hens, found a
piece of rich float which he felt sure
heralded the approach to the main
ledge. He returned to town and later
sent Delaney out to trace the float to
its source. When first found the vein
outcropping on the surface appeared
only about a foot wide, but at a depth
of ten feet widened out to about 40
inches. About four inches of the vein
was so rich in the white metal that
it was at first taken for native silver.
The entire ledge, which is widening
as depth is attained, averages be-
tween 80 and 80 ounces of silver and
IS to so per cent lead, yielding a total
value per ton of about 800.

constantly employed in the sulphur
mine in taking the product of the
property to the railroad tracks, and
the Western Pacific railroad line,
when completed, will come right up to
this great deposit of the yellow stuff.
The company has large warehouses in
the management is enabled by keep
ing close watch upon the market TO
sell the entire season s output eacn
year at about $4 per ton higher thar
the imported stuff commands. This is
possible for the reason that the com
pany is not only a student of market
conditions, but its product is ex-
tremely pure, carrying no arsenic
whatever.
1t is generally supposed that the
most extensive use for sulphur is in
making powder. AS a matter of fact
over half the output is used lor
bleaching paper. Much of what is left
goes to the match manufacturer, the
drug trade secures a small percentage
and Utah buys considerable for sheep
dip. The Nevada Sulphur property
contains an enormous deposit of the
substance, its extent can be appreciat-
ed from the fact that no working on
the group is below 10 feet deep, in
spite of the great tonnage that has
been marketed up to date. The mine
is seldom mentioned, yet it is one OF
the really interesting properties IN
the Sagebrush state. 1t may be men
toned that the discovery of this de
posit was the cause of a tariff being
placed upon all imported sulphur
years ago.

JUSTICES OF THE PEACE
OF LANDER COUNTY
ARE BUSY, TOO

BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Sept. 2s.-
The mills of justice, unlike those of
the gods, do not always grind slow.
At any rate such is true as applied to
Mountain. If Hamlet had lived
here he would have had no cause to
complain of the laws delay. The
west has been maligned in times past
for its lawlessness and loose admin
istration of justice, and perhaps in
the case of the old west, not without
cause; but certainly no community in
the east, or anywhere else, for that
matter, can boast of a more rigid en-
forcement of the law than can Ne
vada, ''the last of the Vest That
there is crime here, no one would at
tempt to deny. In fact it might be
said to be frequent. Since the boom
began some of the toughest charac-
tiers of the country have been drifting
into the state from Alaska, South
America, Canada, Ola Mexico and
from all over the world. Battle
Mountain, as well as other places, has
had its share. OF late, however, Jus
tice Limbaugh s. court has been
crowded with the trials of minor of
lenses, such as petit larceny, drunk
enness and disturbing the peace; in
all of which eases the offenders have
been given speedy and just punish
ment.
Among the eases attracting the
most attention this week was the trial
of Ed 7. Jones, a surveyor, charged
with filching a watch from the show
case of f. ). Mendive q Co. While
he got the ticker, it seems, it seems
he was watched in a way he was not
seeking. He was arrested, but de-
MED the charge, and at the trial plead
not guilty, acting as his own counsel
After the jury had returned a verdict
of guilty, however, he accompanied
Constable Human to where he had
hidden the watch beneath a bunch of
%sagebrush and dug it up. The court
fixed the punishment at 80 days in
Jail and he was taken to Austin
Thursday by Sheriff M j. Murphy.
Another case of interest was that of
the fifteen Greeks employed as see
ton hands on the Southern Pacific,
caught in Constable Humans drag
net and fined So a piece for stealing
coal from a car belonging to the Hor-
ton company. The tourists from the
country of art and classics remained
in Jail a day and a night, but later
decided to pay their fines and Were
released.

REPORTS OF
PHONOLITE
MANY PROPERTIES BEING ACT
lively DEVELOPED

News from Phonolite is to the eff
feet that development which has been
advanced rapidly there during the
past summer is bringing to the front
a number of promising properties.
w. +. Reeder and Bruner of the
Phonolite district, passed through
Battle Mountain this week and both
were enthusiastic over the prospects
terms of it's future.
Mr.. Reeder and his associates are
developing a copper property, the ores
of whic carry considerable molyp-
denite with an average of about 81
in gold and So in silver. Molybdenite'
which is one of the raw metals some
times used as an alloy in the manu-
~facture of steel, has very rerely been
found in commercial quantities, usual
ly occurring as a bi-product. Mr..
Reeder believes, however, that they
have it in sufficient quantities to be
of commercial importance.
The Mohawk Duluth is also report
ed as looking good. The work on this
property has reached a depth of IT'S
feet. The shaft is being sunk on the
foot wall, exposing about 5 feet of
the vein. The ore thus far has oc-
Cured somewhat bunchy in the tale,
indicating that the main bodies had
not yet been reached.
The Paymaster has a tunnel in over
400 feet, the face of which is within
a few feet of the vein, as judged from
the groupings.
Leasers on the Silent Friend group
have had 70 efop work until their
hoist arrives. They are working on
four foot ledge, assays from which
run from $25 to $3.50 per ton.

Startling Silver
Strike is Made
FROM THE BATTLE MOUNTAIN HERALD

The series of sensatonany rich strikes that have been cleo
trifying this part Of Nevada for some time past have eliminated
in what is believed to be the greatest discovery OF silver ore
since lin Butler stumbled onto the ledge of rich rock that made
Tonopah the site Of the second greatest silver mine in the world.
Located the 18th of this month, and ten days later with over
$4,000 worth of ore taken out and ready for shipment, is the
record Of this new bonanza.
