DO VIKINGS.

Farm work is ahead this week. The
farmers have been working hard the
past three weeks TO get their work I'M
der their finger and thumb. Wheat
has been threshed and the yield is en-
couraging, Ten and twelve from one
was the average yield. Shiny and
black peas have been seeded for hay,
but much seed was damaged in the
stack last winter before they were
threshed, which will make the crops
poor stand. If you want good seed
peas for another year keep the best
peas that you cut, rick them in the
barn, for they will damage before YOU
can thresh them in stack.

DEAL
CLOSED INRAWHIDE
PARROTT AND SCHELD PUR-
CHASE ALEXANDER-AN-
DERSON LEASE.

Another deal has been made in
Rawhide, which argues well for the
confidence that is being placed in
that camp, and shows how the Tono-
pah people are taking hold of the
property.
X. l.. ParrotI and H. w. Scheld of
Tonopah have bought half interest
in the lease known as the Alexander
Anderson lease on the Owl claim Of
the Roseberry group on Hooligan or
Mcleod hill. This is one of the
leases on which were found sensa-
tional gold values, and some of the
richest gold specimens in the camp.
1t adjoins the Miller lease on the
same property, and is close in to the
Truitt lease, where on Monday last
there was found six inches of ore
which went $4,000 to the ton, and
showed, besides, breast of milling
ore six feet in width.
Messrs. PARROT and Scheld, with
W. w. Booth, arrived from Rawhide
yesterday, and are elated over the
success of their trip in having secured
an interest in the good property.
There is no better showing OF
finer location in the camp said Mr..
PARROT, yesterday. The lease was
originally owned by George Ander-
son, George Alexander. Fred Hughes
and E. H. kissing We have taken
half interest with them, and will
work the lease for all it is worth.
1t has eighteen months to go, and
we are to pay royalty of 2212 per
cent
I'VE are right across the canyon
from the famous Murray lease, and
our lease has had the finest showing
in tale and porphyry of anything in
the camp. There is vein from tw1
to four feet on the surface, and is
traceable for the entire length OF
the lease, which is the true quartz
and which will go from SIS to $50
ton We are not going to lose any
time in prosecuting the work We
have ordered a shaft to be sunk in
another place, and we will order a
hoist so as to have 1t on the ground
as soon as we are ready for it,
What do | think of Rawhide?
think it is going to be one of the
greatest camps in the State, and
maybe little better than that. Therl
is nothing that can stop 1t from
booming, for it has all the materia
there, and with the right kind OF
people behind it there is nothing, to
my mind, that can hold it bach. There
is no money in there at present, anf
it is a poor place for men to go who
are looking for work. The time is
coming, though, when there will be
money in plenty"
