Nothing Like It Since the Days Of the Con1stock Lode


There seems to be no abatement in the
Mountain View book; In fact. the past
week has witnessed rush to the section
occasioned by many new strikes in the
district of the sensational order. High
grade ore seems 10 abound in the district
in abundance covering an areax more ex-
tensive than was at first supposed.
Monday last the Hilygus lease en-
counteyed a blind ledge in the tunnel
which shows free gold plentifully. 1t

section. This is the second ledge this
splendid lease has encountered and adds
greatly TO it's value. The rock is speci-
men stuff and very handsome to say the
least

Cole and associates have a lease which is
showing up fine. Sunday last the after

WELL KNOWN MINING
MAN LIKES LOOKS
OF YERINCTON

Paul CASTOR, one of the best KIN wn
mining men i'll the state, for long time
connected with the Tonopah Extension
at Tonopah, has been spending the past
week in Yerington. Mr. CASTOR is more
than enthusiastic concerning the posi-
bilities of this immediate section. In his
traveles which have covered many
thousands of miles he has seen nothing
that compares with Yerington as a cop
per camp.
The gentleman is on the staff of Key
Pittman, who is heavily interested at
Mountain View and Yerington. After
an inspection of what is popularity known
as the Beach property at the latter camp,
he stated that it was one of the bigg st
copper propositions he had ever seen.
They do not have to make a mine
there, +" they have one already. 1t is alb
solutely without parallel considering
amount of work which has been accom-
plished. At depth of l20 feet the vein
has been crosscut and it shows a width
of rs feet of copper ore that even in the
face of the present depression i'll that
metal will pay handsomely to ship.
"Yerinsto.i as we all know, is gener-
ally recognized as the greatest higl grade
camp in ali tine world taking the amount
of development in,o consideration. But
let me tell you, sir, that the Beach prop
e. ty is going to make the best mines yoa
have in your district hustle to keep up
with it !"
MIR. CASTOR is one of the most genial
men in the business. For many years
he practiced law before the New York
state bar and is today one of the nss
brilliant men i'll the state of Nevada. lie

IMPROVEMENT IN YERINCTON DISTRICT

Walter c. Orem. general manager of
the Nevada Douglas Copper company,
operating the Douglas and Ludwig mines
at YeSington. has arrived home from
camp after having made an inspection Of
the properties OF which he has charge
and brings the interesting information
that there has been material improve
ment in condition in the district since
he last visited il.
Not only have developments made in
the Nevada Douglas mine been of most
gratifying character. but in other mines

son Valley.

very good reports about II in yerington.
But in regard to our own mines will say

to me as they do now. People who have
kept in touch with events in Yerington
are pretty we'll informed about the de-
velopments that have been taking place
in our Ludwig property during the past
six or more months. The Ludwig is a
great mine as IL stands today, but it is
only small part OF the holdings of the

ARRANGING TO INCREASE FORCE AT BLUESTONE

There are at present in the neighbor-
hood of twenty men employed at the
Bluestone mine. During the week a
fine strike was made in the Wine from the
floor of the upper tunnel. An ore body
was encountered which shows splendid
values in the red metal
The electrolytic plant is now treating
about seventy-fve tons of ore per day
and will be enlarged upon from time to
time. 1t is rumored that work upon the
new plant for the treatment of the Blue
stone product will be started within
very few days. This new plant is to

'On the $50 level we have drifted on
the sulphide of copper ore body encount-
ed there some little time ago, about 100
feet: it fas been cross-cut for 20 feet,
and we know that $50 feet ahead of the
main drift is a Wine sunk from the 500
in ore of a similar character. So you
may readily understand that we are in
creasing the available tonnage very rap
idly. Another new body OF sulphide ore
has been found in the west cross-cut
from the $50 level, and while we do not
know so very much about it, yet at the
same time il looks very encouraging and
there is not much doubt about it devel-
oping into something pretty good.
THE 500 level is opening up better
every day and in the course of develop
ment during the past week carload of

This ledge runs parallel with the lead OF
the Wilson Gold Mines company and is
every whit as good SO far as present de-
velopments show.
Perhaps the most sensational strike of
the week in the Mountain View district
is recorded on the lease of Gaffney and
partners in the very heart of the town of
Mountain View At a depth of 40 feet
the shaft broke into the ledge. So far
as known at the present writing it is two
feet in width. The ledge matter carries
gold that shows in abundance. There
are local parties interested in this lay a.
mong whom is T.. r. Lam, the enterpris-
ing merchant of Yerington. From the
surface it is said the finest paintings ever
seen in the camp have come. 1t was
just proposition of locating the source
OF the ore and now that it is found it may
be expected to record sensational results.

ON WEDDING TRIP
Rejected Suitor Shoots His Sue
cessful Rival.
TRIES TO MURDER The BRIDE
Widowed Wife of an Hour Defends
Herself Until Uncle Thrusts His
Thumb Under Pistol Hammer
Professor Van Ingen Killed.

Plaquemine, La.-Three years ago
Miss Mamie Rhorer, daughter of an
ex-Mayor of Alexandria, Tilted Frank
s. Beauvre after having promised to
become his wife.
While the girl and her husband of
three hours were speeding on a train
to New Orleans for their honeymoon,
the rejected sutton entered the car,
congratulated the bride upon her
marriage, then drew a pistol and shot
the bridegroom dead across her lap.
The man whom Beauvre slew was
F. F. Van Ingen, one Of the wealth
lest young planters OF Louisiana.
Beauvre had turned the gun from
Van Ingen and was about to STAY the
bride when passengers overpowered
him.
The wedding occurred at Alexan-
idria and was the society event of the
season.
The girl told Beauvre that she re-
jected him for Van Ingen because she
not only loved the latter more, but
also because he had no Creole
French" blood in his veins. Beauvre
went away without a word.
He was in town, but did not attend
the ceremony. A crowd of friends
saw the couple off for New Orleans,
but they did not see Beauvre Chamber
aboard the same train.
Later In the evening Beauvre went
into the coach where the bride and
groom sat. He took the seat oppo-
site, and leaning across the aisle.
said: 49,,
Congratulations to- you Doln.
Thank you," said the bride, with
a smile. "We are very happy"
AS she spoke she turned to her
husband and laid her arm across his
shoulders.
This is too much" cried BeauTre,
and, pulling the revolver from his
pocket, shot Van Ingen through the
head. ;,-
Next he tried to murder the young
widow, who saved herself by a plucky
fight until her uncle thrust his thumb
under the hammer of B%eauvre's pis-
tol and seized the slayer.
Van Ingen's head fell into the lap
of his bride-widow, and he expired
within a few minutes.
Yeauvre declared that he only re-
GREETED that he could not send the

band.

TWO KILLED IN CIRCUS DUEL.
Cowboy and Police Captain Shoot
Each Other at GuIfport, Miss.
The Shots Sounded Like One and the
Men Fell Dead Side by Side
in the Ring.

Mobile, Ala.-Two men shot each
other dead in the circus ring of the
Miller Brothers "101 Ranch" Wild
West Show in Gulfport, Miss, and a
riot followed that would have result
ed in many more fatalities if the
Mayor had not rushed a large body Of
policemen and constables to the spot.
One Of the duelists vas Lon Seely,
a cowboy belonging to the show. The
other was Lee Varnado, captain of
police. Varnado lost his life because
he disdained to decline a challenge
to fight to the death from Seely after
striking Q club out of the cowboys
hand in time to save a tentman. Both
men were killed instantly. Seely's
bullet entered Varnado'S mouth and
came vi at the back Of the captains
head. The policeman's shot went
through the cowboys eye and trav-
ersed the brain.
Quarrels arose among the show
employees when the outfit was pulling
stakes to leave the town. Seely was
on the point of stunning a tentman
with a club when Captain Varnado
rushed up and knocked the weapon
out of his hand. The cowboy, cry
ing, all kill you for that!" whipped
out his pistol. Varnado took out his
revolver at the same time, and the
two backed to opposite sides of the
ring. The shots sounded like one,
and the men, staggering toward each
other, fell side by side in the centre
Of the ring.
A furious attack on the showmen
by the villagers followed. Shots
we're fired by both sides. The cow
boys and other show employees stood
about the dead men and repulsed
the attack firmly. So swift was the
Mayors action that the riot was
stopped before any one was hurt.
But the cowboys had to take the
cowgirls and Indian squaws out of
town between two columns, and they
rode on their way with r%evolvers in
their hands.

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well With Change. OF
Food.

A great scientist. has said we can
put off "old age" if we can only nour-
ish the body properly.
To do this the right kind OF food,
of course, is necessary. The Dody
manufactures poisons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds OF,
food stuffs and unless sufficient OF the
right kind is used, the injurious eie-
ments overcome the good.
"My. grandmother, II years OLD,
writes a N. Y. lady, had been an In
valid for IS years from what was
called consumption Of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
81 saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded grandmother to try
it.. She could not keep anything ON
her stomach for more than a few min
utes.
"she began Grape-Nuts with only a
t~easpconful. As that did not distress
her and as she could retain 1t, she
took a little more until she could take
all of four te%aspoonfuls at a meal. !
Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old, and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that
instead of dying she got well, and
without a drop of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts." There's a
Reason"
