the question that is agitating l.. j..

On Wednesday morning, June 3D.,
the Daily Bonanza reported the
death OF the man who had ex-
pired on the streets in front of the
Pioneer stables. A coroner's jury
was empaneled and witnesses who
had known Harkless for twenty-five
years testified that the dead man WAS

accordance with the testimony In
duced. None Of the effects on his
person went TO show who the man
was. II. Clendennin, who operates
a corral, testified that Harkless had
exchanged a heavy wagon for a light
one several days before his death,
and Mr.. Clendennln recognized the
body az that OF Harkless. The wagon
was turned over to Mr.. BlumenthaI

ROUND MOUNTAIN
APEX LITIGATION

Rumors of apex litigation invol :
ing the Round Mountain Mining Cont
pany and the Round Mountain Rel
Top, have gained wide currency due
ing the past week in Goldfield, says
the Tribune, and have caused no lite
anxiety to some of the stockholders
In both companies. From interviews
obtained yesterday from some of the
chief owners in the two corporations,
II would appear that, while the topo-
graphical relations of their respective
territory might be expected to in
volve some questions of right to TIE
principal vein traversing the ground,
1t is not at all probable that there
will be any misunderstanding in re-
gard to their relative positions and
rights in respect to the ore bodies.
The mining claims in this immedi-
ate section were originally locate
in a haphazard manner. the map CT
the district showing that the claims
of the Red Top company end line the
Sunnyside, of the Round Mountain
company. The big vein carrying the
high grade ore, and over which this
question has been raised, ~traversea
the Round Mountain company
claims diagonally, dipping toward
this company's side lines, and the
end lines of the Red Top. Near the
surface it was supposed that this
vein dipped at a steep angle, but it i;
said by engineers Of the Red TOT
company to be a blanket vein, an,
to enter their ground at no greai
depth, and at q slope Of but a few
degrees.
Under the apex law a vein may b.
followed into adjoining territory
past the side line, but in no cas-.
can the ledge be worked beyond tn.
end line of a claim. For this reas1'
and in view of the relation of thes
claims in point Of location, It is az
parent that no serious difficulties ca
arise between the two corporation
unless one or the other should at
tempt TO carry its operations beyon,
its boundaries.
Quincy Gordon and r. L. Colburr
OF the Round Mountain Red To
Company, have no knowledge OF an
dispute over the question of ape
rights, and James r. Davis, presiden
of the Round Mountain Mining Com
pany, gives assurance that there hs
been no move on the part of his com
pany and, as far as he knows, Their
will be none looking TO the raising 2
this question or the institution {
legal proceedings, and that such az
ton will not be necessary to detei
mine the rights of the respectiy
companies to the lodges and ore boz
= ies. The Red Top people admit thu
, they are about TO have a complet
> survey made of the ground In ord
y 20 determine the precise Limitation
of the territory to which each OF Il
= companies may lay claim.

RAWHIDE LEASE
HAS PICTURE ORE
RICH ROCK PIASTERED WITH
FREE GOLD is UNCov-
Erred.

What will beyond doubt prove to
be one of the most important discov-
cries yet made in the camp vas the
strike on the Jordan lease on Mascot
claim No. ! on the east slope of Bal
loon Hill. Early in the week RIGA
rock, plastered with free gold, was
taken from a cut, and since that time
an abundance of gold and silver bear
ing rock has been taken from the
surface. One assay OF this went
1920 in gold and $411.4O in silver,
with silver valued at so cents an
ounce.
News Of the find spread through
the camp, although little was said of
it by the owners, and there has becn
some very fine high-grading going oa
there ever since. Men have been at
work opening up the ledge to deter
mine the best place to sink a shaft,
and in their work they have taken
out from above the ledge considerable
of the gold and silver rock which goes
5000 and 500 to the ton.
Block Z, on which is located the
lease, is opposite the Kearns No. 2,
and experienced men say that there
is no doubt that the strike is a con
tinuation of the famous Kearns No.
2 lead. The most remarkable fea-
ture of this is that the ledge goes
around the hill, instead of cutting
through it, forming a horseshoe. Yes
terday a party, including Gene Grutt
and F.. w. King, walked from the
Kearns No. 2 around the hill, and
then back again, and Mr.. Grutt de.
clares that they were on the famous
ledge all the time.
There is absolutely no doubt OF
it." said Mr.. Grutt. 81 will stake

BIG EXCITEMENT
DER OIL FIELDS

w. P. O'Meara, who has just re-
turned from the Silver Peak Val
calda, where he has been looking
after the installation Of the Kelly
filter, returned to Tonopah yester-
day. He reports great excitement at
the scene OF the new oil fields, eight;
miles east of Blair. Already O great
amount Of land has been located aud
there Is prospect OF a new townsite.
Incidentally, It might be said, that,
the original discovery, some two u,
three years ago, was due to a traveller
from Tonopah. He was en- route from
that city to Silver Peak, and seeking
a watering place, found a good-sized
pool about six miles east OF Blair.
| When he drank the liquid he at once
, realized that the water was thorough
" impregnated with oil, and was sat
isfed that an oil region lay in that
zone. Some locations we're made, but
nothing came Of them. OF late, how
ever, capital has taken hold of the
section and promises to develop on q
Large scale. The late excitement,
which started only O few days ago,
Twas due simply to the fact that Min
chin and Miller shipped Q large NUM-
Der Of AKA location posts. This Great

realized that the two men had picked
out what promises to become q bon

TT which Minehin and Miller expe'
TO have brought into the Blair di
o trlct within the next three or fol
