H. Knight one of the original To-
Gators in the Juniper district. situated
between here and Rosebud in the
Juniper mountains, arrived in Winnie
mucea last Friday evening and brings
the latest report from that new copper
camp Grinnel and Smear, as well as
MeGivney. are doing extensive work
on their respective properties, all of
which have good showings of high
grade copper, as well as values in
gold, silver and galena.
"The recent discovery of Nick
Combs said Mr. Knight els in my
opinion as good as any in the camp,
as the ledge found is some 80 feet in
width and can be traced over 5000
feet, containing high grade copper, as
well as values in gold and silver"
The quicksilver property belonging
to Carpenter and others, found during
last fall, has been bonded TO eastern
parties for year, the first payment
has been made and it is expected that
they will commence development work
shortly.
At present there is a deal pending
between Mr.. Knight and Salt Lake
capitalists, represented by 0. f.
Rebel for the rtansfer of the Juniper
group of claims. From this ground as
says of ore containing copper going
40 to 75 per cent and lead and anti
mony of 30 and 20 per cent respec-
lively have also been received. The
ledge on this property is about 8 feet
wide and can be traced for over 5000
feet.
While in Humboldt Mr.. Knight wit
messed the signing of contract be-
tween the Rabbit Hole Placer Mining
company, whose property is located
at Rabbit Hole Springs, and Messrs.
Aroba and Nofsinger, two teamsters
at that place, for the purpose of hav-
ing gold dredger machine hauled
from Rye Patch to the company's
ground. This is the first time that
machine of this size and character has
been brought into this section, and
goes to show the awakened confidence
that capitalists are having in mining
property in Humboldt county.

Sunday morning young Mexican
was captured in the act of burglariz-
ing the store of F. G. Robins and
company, and in the capture, Jerome
Otis, pioneer of the county, 6S years
of age, took daring and sensational
part.
Mr.. Otis, who sleeps in the store,
was awakened yesterday morning
about three o'clock by the sound of
breaking glass in one of the rear
doors. He reached under the pillow
and secured his revolver, and the bur
glar entered the store.
The burglar advanced towards the
safe in the store, and Otis jumping
from his bed, got behind pile of
bed quilts. where he attempted to get
shot at the intruder. But in max
ing his way toward the safe, the bur
glar passed by the place where Otis
was concealed, and bumped into the
old man. A struggle Immediately en-
sued, which lasted Tor nearly half an
hour, and ended by the burglar being
on the bottom, with Otis sitting on top
of him, playing tattoo on his head with
the butt end of the revolver. A few
blows and thebad man agreed to be
good.
1T being early in the morning,
there was no way to warn the author

only in his night clothes, sat astride
of the burglar from three o'clock un-

As result of his trip to the ex-

particular. He said he passed through
more hardships during his stay of two
months in Alaska than he has known

on the Pacific slope.
