LEAsERs ARE
VERY ACTIVE

|
After sinking their shaft e%xactlY
sixty feet, the misunderstanding leas,
on the Antelope broke into the ledge
during the past week and are noN
busily engaged In un%covering 1t.
The ledge as it appears in the boz
tom of the shaft is about fourteen
inches wide and dips toward the
south and east.
The entire ledge pans free gold and
for the few inches adjacent to the
hanging wall 1t is estimated that II
will run as high as 800 to the ton.
The characteristics of the ledge as
found in the Husband-C Gushing shaft
is Identical with the ledge in the
Paulsen- Blaisdell lease on the Ante
lope which has been giving such pho
nomenal values of late in almost pure
gold.
Now that all doubt Is removed as
to the existence of the ledge in the
block owned by these ~leasers, a whiu
will be installed at once and an extra
force Of men put to work u~ncoverinS
and extracting the ore.
Jim Cushing has been on the
ground every day since the work was
first started and has always been firm
in his belief that the shaft would
eventually drop down on the ore body
and he is correspondingly elated. I'm
mediately upon cutting the ledge he
wired the news to c. c. Boak, presi-
dent OF the Antelope company, and
also his partner. Bob husband, who
is at present visiting in Cripple
Creek. It is more than likely tina
Mr.. Husband, who. rumor has 1t, i
TO become a husband in fact as wet
as in name, will not delay his depar
ture from Cripple Creek any longe,
than is absolutely necessary.
The Paulsen-Blaisdell lease ha'
been keeping up its remarkable rec
ord of high grade discoveries in tn.
north drift, while in the south drift
the ledge is now pitching to the soutl
and west and strengthening so tina
the progress of development in bot
wings of the lease. are of a natur
highly satisfactory to the owners.

the company, is at present in tn

GO UP AS
SHAFT GOES down

A rumored strike ON the Lillian
lease of the Early Bird claim this
morning created a bit of excitement
in the neighborhood of the Rawhida
Consolidated, on which the lease is
located. But there was no strike; it
was a case Of the r getting better
at depth, that was all
But that was a wonderful lot. The
shaft is down 80 feet, and the ore
that was taken out this morning
looks to be the richest that has been
uncovered in the camp for many q
day. 1t looks like the pure quill,
and while there have not been any
assays as yet, the value will n
doubtedly go into the pictures.
The Big Four lease is also sus-
tanning its reputation. There was a
pieces of ore taken from the new
shaft, which is down 35 feet, this
morning, which was simply ~spattered
and stuck full of free gold. This Is
from the shaft which has been sunk
on the high grade streak, which vas
one of the sensations of the camp
some weeks ago. From the first
shaft, which is down so feet, they
are getting rock from two feet of the
ledge which goes $500 a ton. They
are now putting up the gallows frame
on the Big Four, and will have 1
hoist installed early next week.
The hoist is in place on the Muc-
ray lease adjoining, and has been
working since Sunday. They are
again sinking and prosecuting on the
Murray and taking out the ore, an
they will be ready very shortly tt
make a shipment. The Murray Is
looking better than ever. There hat
been no work done in the shaft TO
some time prior to the installation o
the hoist.-Reno Journal.

senting European capitalists. Mr.,
schroeder refused to discuss his Goa
nections, but stated that he would
leave for the East tonight and. that
his people would probably come out
with an announcement before the end
of next week.
On top of this comes the announce
ment here tonight that Nat c. Good,
win of the Nat c. Goodwin Company

.vides that no person shall be elect
ed as councilman who has not beer

matter of speculation.

INVESTIGATING
CURRENCY COMMISSION PLANS
WIDE CAMPAIGN OF 1NvESTl-
CATION AND WILL CONTINUE
IN EXISTENCE THREE YEARS.

WASHINGTON. June 3.-The
currency commission appointed Sat-
urday by Vice President Fairbanks
and Speaker Cannon under the terms
of the Aldrich- Vreeland bill. held Its
first meeting yesterday. While the
meeting was only for the purpose Of
organization. there was a general
discussion Of plans and It can be
stated that II the outline submitted
by Senator Aldrich is perfected by
the work of the commission. the
country will be given the benefit of
such a thorough investigation and a
complete exposition of currency and
banking as it has never before re-
ceived.
The commission was organized
with Senator Aidrich. chairman. and
Representative Vreeland. vice chair
man, thus recognizing in the two ex-
ecutive ofYices the co-authors OF the
law under which the commission
was appointed. Arthur Shelton

finance, was chosen secretary Of the
commission. and It was agreed that
the house members shVlld be permit
ted to designate an assistant secre-
tary, but he Was not named yester-
day.

opinion that the country would ex
pect from the organization very

eiaI subject based upon investiga'
lions to be made not only in the
United States. but also in the finan
cial centers Of Europe, and no dis
senting voice was heard in the en-
tire membership of IS representa-
tives and senator's. Frs
II was the general opinion tina

ed that the investigation would
prove as important for this countr!
as did that of the old bullion com
mission for Great Britain. The dis
cussion today resulted in the ap

PEACE AFTER 100 YEARS.
Yaqui Indians Are About to Become
Law-Abiding Mexicans.

HERMOSILLO, Mex. June q
After a war which has continued
Internationally for more than 100
years, the Yaqui nation is about to
sever tribal relations and its 10000
members are to settle down into
peaceable and law-abiding Mexican
citizens. On May 7 Luis Rule, head
the Yaqui nation. asked for con-
ference by which peace could be ar
ranged.
With 96 Of his followers he was
met in the Bacatete mountains by
Col. Jose Gonzales and other officers
of the Mexican army. The confer
ence lasted three hours, and is be-
lieved to have paved the way to a
lasting peace. At first Chief Rule
assumed the aggressive in his de-
mands, but was evidently prepared
to waive them as occasion demand
ed. In the end terms acceptable to
both parties were agreed upon.
These provided unconditional sur
render and submission of the Yaquis
to the authority Of the government;
that the lives and property of the
Indians be respected and that they
be protected in all the rights and
privileges accorded to Mexican citi'
ems under existing laws, provided
however, for the time being they
must not go north Of Ores; that arm:
and ammunition in the hands of the
the Indians be delivered to the mill
tary authorities, and that the gov
eminent provide all necessaries TO
the submitting Indians until suci
time as work can be provided TO
them.
