sPRucEMoNr OPERATIONS.

The Big Four Nevada Mining COM
pany, inc, which last fall purchased
the interests of Abner Wiseman, j.
+. Maylette, J, A. Jenkins and ]. j.
Wiseman in a group of claims at
Sprucemont, have done considerable
development work on the properties
this summer. The work has been car
ried on under the direction of w. J..
Shelton, manager for the company.
Mr.. Shelton believes his company
owns some of the most valuable
ground in the -Sprucemont district,
and is preparing to push the work Of
development on a more extensive
scale than has heretofore been ac-
complished.
Among the claims on which con
siderable development has been done
during the past few months is the
Neversweat. On this claim a tunnel
and open cut to the length OF fifty
feet have been driven. While drlv-
ing this tunnel a large ledge has been
encountered and the latter part OF
last week the ledge had been entered
to the depth of twenty feet, and the
miners We're still in the ledge matter.
On the Neyersweat q shaft is now be-
ing sunk. This shaft is now forty
feet deep. and the company figures on
going down 200 feet and then cross
cutting. On this claim considerable
good shipping ore has already been
uncovered, and as work progresses
and depth is attained the character
of the ore becomes better, The orc
runs from 10 TO so per cen copper
also carrying good values in silver.
The richest ore ever encountered
in the district was discovered on one
of the claims, the Big Four, now The
property OF the Big Four company
This find gave $50 ounces in silver
$40 in gold and "a per cent coppei
to the ton. The discovery was made

pany took charge Of the property

In the Keystone. another CLAIM
belonging TO the Big Four company
there is known TO exist a very larg'
porphyrv dyke. This porphyry ha'
been penetrated years ago by a tun
mel. and work is now being carrie'
on from a crosscut from the old tun
mel to tap this dyke. This crosscu
has run through a large iron dyke
from which the copper has beer
leacheds but which is sure to retain
its values at depth. When the con
tact between the porphyry and lime
formations is reached It is believed

TWO MURDERS IN NYE COUNTY

One Mexican killed by another,
and an Indian shot to death by a
man named Charles Clay, is the rec
ord for the county for Sunday. The
Mexican murdered was a man who is
given the name of Castro, and the
shooting of the Indian was done at
Pahrump, near Johnnie. But few of
the details in both cases have been
learned at the sheriff's Office. There
are five men in jail at Beatty, and
a posse is out from Johnnie looking
for the murderer of the Indian.

COLORED HOB0Es ROUNDED UP.
Took Possession OF Freight Train
Captured At Elkton.

Saturday morning Sheriff Kirk
received telegram at Elkton from
Baltimore, stating that a P, B. &
W. freight train had been boarded
by gang of negro hoboes, who
had forced the crew into the Ca
boose at the point of revolvers.
The conductors had thrown a
note off the train at a signal tower
and the operator had wired the
news to Baltimore.
Sheriff Kirk hastily gathered an
armed posse and was at Elkton
station when the train pulled in.
The negroes jumped from the train
and made threatening demonstra-
tions, but took to flight when a
deputy shot one of them in the leg.
All were captured and lodged in
Jail, giving their names as George
Bradshaw, Philada; George John
son, Ralph Bridges, George Brown,
Chestertown; and Thomas Harri.
son, Baltimore.
They robbed two italians, who had
been on the train, of $5, and forced
them off at Principle Furnace, one
of the foreigners being shot in the
leg. Bradshaw was the hobo shot
by deputy McKenney, his injury
being severe one, the charge
entering the leg just back of the
knee. When searched four re
volvers and a razor were found on
the men who are being held in Jail
for hearing.

Jail Delivery At Dover.

For a second time in less than
four months, Jail delivery oc-
Cured at Dover on Sunday at the
Kent county, Delaware, Jail. Two
prisoners, Tobe Black, serving
80 days sentence, and John Henry
Stephenson, awaiting trial for the
larceny of chickens, made their
escape in the same manner as did
the 16 who secured their freedom
on February 22d, by knocking the
turnkey down and simply walk
ing out.
That more did not escape was
due to the presence of mind of
some women of Sheriff Hartnett's
household, who, hearing the
scuffle in the hall, ran down stairs
and closed the iron door, to prevent
futher delivery.
The regular turnkey, a brother
of Sheriff Hartnett's was out of
town. A negro had been placed in
charge of the door since Mr.. Hart
nett's absence.
The negro was called to the door
on pretence of one of the prisoners
wanting some laundry work done.
AS soon as the negro opened the
door, Black and Stephenson felled
him to the floor and walked out,
making escape across the Public
Square, in full sight of many
persons standing around.

BRIDGE BURNED.
Structure At ConoWlngo Swept
Away BY Fire-Loss Heavy.
IRON BRIDGE WILL REPLACE 1T.

The bridge across the Susque-
hanna river at Conowingo, con-
Meeting Cecil and Hartford coun-
ties, was burned on Wednesday
night, entailing a heavy loss to the
stockholders and great inconven-
ience to the travelling public. 1t is
supposed the fire originated from
lightning during the heavy gust in
the afternoon, although no signs
OF fire were noticed until after
ten o'clock that night. Seven
spans on the Hartford end of the
bridge were burned and it is
doubtful that traffic can be re-
sumed for some time.
The bridge was covered wood
en- structure, over mile in
length. 1t was a toll bridge,
owned by the Conowingo Bridge
Company, and we understand the
structure will be replaced as soon
as possible with an iron bridge.

Quehdnnd.

The United Railways and Elec-
trio Company of Baltimore, will
close a contract with the Mccall
Ferry Power Company for the use
of current from the latter's plant
on the Susquehanna river. The

more than a year yet to get the
plant in operation. The United

the river as an adjunct to its city
generating plants.
The Consolidated Gas, Electric
Light and Power Company has
already closed a contract with the
Mccall Ferry Company for the
use of it's current in Baltimore, in
fact, this Company will control all
electric power developed lat the
Susquehanna plant for trans
mission to the territory covered by
a radius of % miles from the

of that used by the United. The
area covered by the radius in
cludes portions of Baltimore, Har-
