Reno, New. Feb. 2l.-Edward Mil
Ter and 20 companions are barricad-
ed behind a breastworks of high
grade ore defending their rights TO a
lease on the Litigator claim on Bal
loon mountain at Rawhide today. OPP
posing them are over 100 men who
claim to have equal or better rights to
the claim. Both parties are heavily
armed and all efforts to negotiate an
armistice or truce OF any kind, has
failed so far.
Between the two hostile parties is
stretch of 100 feet of ground. For
a member Of either party to attempt
TO cross that would be an invitation
for sudden death. The struggle is
going on in sight of thousands who
are rushing into the new camp.
Miller, It appears, owns one
sixth interest in the Litigator claim.
Monday he opened an immensely rich
ledge. Since that day he has been
busy blasting out this ore and sack
ing 1t.
1t runs thousands of dollars to the
ton. Behind this wealth he is now
stationed with his friends.
The remaining FIVE partners in the
Litigator claim are leading the OPP
posing party. Miller claims that
these men virtually deserted him and
the claim and left him TO work it
alone, never contributed a cent OF
money towards the expenses and al
lowed him to starve at times rather
than assist him in his workings.
Now waen the ledge is uncovered
they demand equal shares with him
in the gold. He declares he will lay
down his life before he will give in 10
them.
