KEY PITTMAN MORE PLEASED
THAN EVER WITH HIS
INVESTMENT.

Key Pittman returned from Raw
hide yesterday, and is more enthu-
siastic over the camp than ever, and
is more pleased with his investment
in the Rawhide Mining and Reduc-
ton Company, owners of the famous
Murray lease. and the Drew property
to the north of Grutt hill.
The Murray lease" said Mr.. Pitt
man, is opening up in wonderful
shape, but is not doing any more
than we thought it would do. On
the hanging wall there is a brexia-
tion of three feet, following which is
twenty-one feet of solid ore which
will average $32 to the ton. There
is besides an eight-inch streak on the
hanging wall which goes 1912 to the
ton. We have three shifts working
on the lease and are taking the ore
out as fast as possible, sinking six
feet a day.
"On the Drew property there are
twenty-one leases. every one of
which is working, and Colonel Acorn
has on his lease twelve inches of ore
that will go $50 to the ton. and
the rest of the shaft is in milling
ore which goes about SIS to the ton.
| have always thought well of the
Drew property. and think yet that
1t is one OF the best in the camp.
There are four or five lodges on it.
all of which look good.
There are more people going into
the camp every day, and there is now
some money going In there: money
for investment. The camp Is getting
better from all view points, business
as well as mining. More buildings
are going up. accommodation are
better and all kinds of property Is
being held at pretty stlff figures.

RICHNESS OF RAWHIDF
ZEB KENDALL SAW SEVEN
SACKS OF ORE VALUED
AT $4,000.

The Grutt lease on Grutt hill i'll
Rawhide has made good it's promise.
A week ago last Saturday there was
taken from it an immense chunk of
rock on the surface, with the gold
discernible on all sides of it, The
discovery threw the camp into q
state OF wild excitement, and the
following day saw flying from the
top of the hill, Old Glory, crowning
the banner mountain of the camp.
Zeb Kendall was one of those who
returned from the camp yesterday,
and just before leaving on the after
noon before, he saw the shots put
into the vein which brought away
the richest bunch of ore that has yet
been uncovered
They took away seven sacks of
ore, the smallest estimate of the
value of which was placed at $40,
600. Three thousand dollars a sack
is going some, but | do not believe
that that is overestimating the values
of those sacks. You can imagine
that there was little chance left to
the high-graders to get away with
any of the stuff, Last night the
lease was guarded by two deputy
sheriffs, and the Grutts had two men
of their own on guard with shot
guns. with instructions to take no
chances on anybody who attempted
to approach the shaft. The ledge is,
| should judge, three or four feet
wide. and will average $500 to $400
ton, with the rich streaks running
through II.
"Rawhide is growing all the time,
the people getting in there at the
rate of a hundred n day. at least.
They are coming In from all quar-
ters and from all roads. The money
is beginning to come in and proper
ties are changing hands rapidly"

group. was another arrival from the
golden land OF promise. and he cor

2 . go = . = . . . = . HA . .

Il think" said General Manager
Luckett, that the announcement of
strike in the North Star is prema-
tlre. We have opened up a ledge
of four or five feet, which looks very
6ocd, but we have not got any val
ues, and will not be able to say
what we have for day or two. The
discovery was made on the 1880
foot level, on the north crosscut, $50
feet from the shaft. 1t is my belief
that 1t is beyond the dacite intrusion,
but cannot say whether it would be
the same ledge as the Montana Tono-
pah has below the dacite, although
the l05O-foot level of the Montana
would he about on the same plane
as our 1850, the collar of our shaft
being 1877 feet higher than that of
the Montana Tonopah."
The strike in the North Star at the
lower depths is another good index
of the future of the camp, and it
comes at time when the attention
of the mining world is fixed upon
Tonopah. We have just had strike
on the 100O-foot level of the Bel
mont, and previous to that on the
lower level of the Montana Tonopah,
both of these strikes occurring under
the dacite formation. Then there is
the ledge on the $50 level of the
Midway, also under the dacite, and
the indications that the Tonopah Ex-
tension will catch the ore on the 1850
level.
All these strikes, with the excep-
tion of that in the Belmont, are in
the experimental stage, for the rea-
son that the ore has not yet been
demonstrated to be of commercial
value. The indications are that this
demonstration will be made. and
there is no reason why the ore in
the lower levels will not carry the
values. When pay ore is struck at
any one of these lower levels. then
indeed will Tonopah be the second
Comstock.

taking of testimony by the court
martial which is trying Lieutenant
General Stoessel for the surrender of
Port Arthur fortress, came to an end
today and the court adjourned until
February Sd, when the closing argu-

tification for his surrender of Port
Arthur, Stoessel introduced a letter
today by General Kendratanko, dated
october 1, 1904, in which the writer
said he recognized the necessity of
surrendering and asked General Sto-
essel to prepare the emperor for this
end and to advise him to make peace
with Japan while the fortress was
still in Russian hands. Stoessel ad-
dressed the court, saying he could
not follow the advice of General Ken
dratanko because communications
passed through too many hands and
consequently he defended the fort

CAPTAIN THATCHER HAS MAR
ROW SQUEAK IN SECUR-
ING CLAIM.

Captain George Thatcher of Tono-
pah has succeeded in getting an op-
tion on the Bushwhacker claim,
which adjoins the Royal and Tiger
on the north, and he succeeded in
getting it by the closest of margins.
The captain had made all the ar
rangements and had accepted the
terms of the owners of the claim.
He was downtown arranging the fin
ishing details, three miles away from
the claim. But there is a good broad
highway leading down to the town,
down Rawhide avenue, and into the
main street.
There you are" said the captain,
pushing over the check covering the
first payment
There was a clattering of hoofs
heard afar off, as the first man sat
down to append his signature to the
option. He was slow with the pen,
and the hoofbeats were growing
HGdItl. w nCu hdu HhioACu oub-
scribing himself, the horse was stop
ping at the door, and as the second
man took up the pen, the door was
thrown open. and man, hatless and
breathless. dashed into the room,
crying:
Don't sign; big strike.
In an instant all was confusion.
The captain. usually quiet and cool,
was startled out of his serenity. and
he started to his feet, and laid d
hand on the document. which had
been half completed.
1T is too late" he cried; "the op-
tion has been signed"
but the second man refused to
sign, and there was an argument
that lasted an hour But the captain
clung to the partly signed option,
and declared that he would hold the
parties to IT, At length eomprom-
ise was effected. Thatcher agreeing
TO raise the price of the first pay
ment. which he did on the spot. and
secured what he thinks Is worth all
the money. and is one OF the very
good claims In the camp.

advisers when the CatIin divorce was
obtained. The marriage Of Mr.. Hufty
and Mrs. Catlin took place soon after

ROBBER BY TRADE
SLAIN At HIS WORK,
AFTER SALOON TILL
Chief of Forty Thieves"
Known Along WharVeS
for Daring ReScueS.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-"Scar" Reil-
ly, chief of the Forty Thieves" hold
up man. desperate. life-Saver, and COM
binarion all-arOund criminal and hero,
was slain early today in Tom Craven S
East Side saloon.
Craven admits he fred the shots
which ended the career OF one OF the
most remarkable crooks with whom the
New York police ever had to deal.
TIE Forty Thieves" have long been
the terror Of the upper east side. Their
activity made It unsafe for pedestrians
TO venture into their bailiwick after
dark.
According to Craven. the thieves
have frequently held him Up of late
but failed 20 catch him with much
money. About I o'clock this morning.
he says, Scar and three followers
burst into the saloon and undertook TO
seize the contents of the cash drawer.
All were armed, but the saIoonkeeper,
snatching his revolver from behind the
bar. managed to fire the first shot. Ren-
" fell, and Craven kept on shooting.
Then sears followers fed.
Craven examined his victim and
found him d ,ad- Then. he says. he lost
his head. Instead of notifying the po-
lice. he carr I'd the corpse TO a hallway
back Of the saloon and left it there in
a pool of blood
A man who stumbled over it an hour
later notified a policeman. The latter
found persons who had overheard the
shooting in the saloon, sought C'Lven
at his home. and took him 20 the sta
uOn. There he told his story, and is
held pending an investigation.
Reilly was but a short time out of
the penitentiary. He was once a private
in the old 'Humpty'' Jackson gang on
the lower east side When the police
broke il up he went uptown and be-
came leader OF the Forty Thieves"
In spite Of the scores Of TObberies and
assaults he committed, and murders of
which he was suspected. Scar was
celebrated as a life-sdver The river
mont knew n IN as hero for the daring
win which he plunged into the water
for drowning men, women and children
1t is said he has saved dozens from
death by his skill and strength as a
swimmer and by his oVn absolute indif-
ference to danger
From head to foot he was marked
by knife thrusts and bullet wounds
Hence his title of Scar" His real
name is said to have been John Reilly
None knew whence he came. He never
spoke Of relatives and had no friends
outside his band Of forty thieves"
