Tax Sale
Held Monday.

County Treasurer Ed. w.
Clark, sold at the front door OF
the Court house, last Mon day, all
property on which delinquent
taxes had not been paid. Some
exciting bidding was done on
Phoebe town lots that were asses
ed in the name of unknown
owners; only two pieces of prop
erty of Caliente entered the sale;
Las Vegas McWilliams lots went
begging and the few lots in the
Clark townsite that crept into
delinquency were eagerly bid
for; in the Searchlight district
not many of the lots of value
were put up, but several hoist
ing plants are now held by the
county. The Nelson townsite
lots are also on the county's
hands. Six months redemption
period is allowed on all property
in the sale.

Big Deposit
At Lucky Star
Drift Run For Twelve Feet
All In Ore In the New
Workings

Advices from the property of
the Lucky Star Gold Mining
Company in the Bristol district
are to effect that another strike
of large body of ore has been
made. 1t has been heretofore
determined, by several shafts
and crosscuts which have been
run, that an immense body of
manganese ore existed on the
property.
A short time since another
drift was started some distance
from the former workings and
the ledge encountered. This
drift has been run for a distance
of twelve feet, and has for the
entire distance been in ore; how
much it will prove to be, remains
to be determined, but it has SC
far progressed to assure the
management of its developing
into one of the largest mines (ir
point of tonnage) in the district

District

On the claim, a porphyry dyke
has been encountered and it has
been determined by several men
who have taken occasion to trace
it out to be a continuation of the
famous dyke running through
the mountain east of town and
from which some of the richest
ore in this section has been taken.
The Gypsy claim has forced it.
self upon the attention of the
mining public for some time by
reason of the great surface
showing and this late discovery
has determined it to be the most
promising prospect in this section
as well as further proving the
theory of deposits of rich mineral
in the porphyry dyke of that
section.

Railroad Gets
Bridge Money

The Board of County Commits
sioners appropriated a certain
sum, of money to build a county
bridge at Caliente, and the check
was made payable to the bridge
committee. No work for the
money has been done to date.
The check has been endorsed by
G. C. Fetterman and ]. A.

amount paid over to the railroad
is $3.50. SO; Why don't the work

preparation, the bridge committee
should see that Lincoln County

Corporation
Is Formed
Company Owns Valuable
Mining Ground in the
Bristol District

One Of the most recent incor-
porations to be formed in this
locality is the Bristol Mining
Company, composed mainly of
local people. The corporation
has among its lists of assets,
some very valuable property
situate in the Bristol district.
This property has been held by
Messrs. Fernandez, Costello and
Lindsay and has had a very fiat
tering showing for some time
past. The incorporation was
made to facilitate the handling
of the mine, and no doubt exists,
that with proper management,
the property will be come pro-
ducer of no small proportions.
The corporation is formed upon
the basis of one million dollars,
divided into shares of the par
value Of one dollar each. Among
the incorporators are Charles O.
Fernandez, John Costello, An
drew w. Lindsay, Judge John
M. Breeze and Clarence D.

For Protection
Against Fire
Residents Providing Them.
selves With Chemical
Fire Extinguishers

A number of chemical fire ex-
tinguishers have been purchased
by our residents and placed in
their homes. This is money
judiciously expended, giving as
it does, great protection against
loss by fire in cases of energy.
That these extinguishers are of
great values has been proven on
two different occasions here
lately, and but for their efficient
service, a serious confagration
might have occurred. A number
of them have been purchased by
the county and placed in the
court house; something greatly
needed, for the court house is
not too we'll provided with fire
protection.
While we are on this subject,
it might be we'll to suggest tc
those whose duty it might be, tc
look into the matter of the hose
carts. There is some money &C
cumulating to the credit of the
town fund; and it could not be
more judiciously expended thar
in keeping the fire apparatus il
perfect order.
A number of feet of new hos'
has been purchased and is on the
ground, but no attempt has ye'
been made to get this on tn,
carts, and in it's present condi
ton would be practically useless
in case of fire.
This is a serious matter anC
should receive immediate atten
tention. What would be tn,
matter with the fire marshal at
tending to this? 1t would seer
to us to be consistent with hi
duties as such.

EntOmbed Men
Are Released

After a confinement of forty
one days underground, the min
ers entombed in the Alpha shaft
of the Giroux Consolidated at
Ely, Nevada, were rescued this
week. The men seemed to have
stood the experience as well as
could be expected and are get

The release of the imprisoned
men was the occasion for great
jollifcation by the citizens of
Ely, whistles were blown and
every bell in the city was rung.
The people of Ely are to be con-
graduated on the manner in
which they worked to rescue the
unfortunate men.

Legislature
Not Harmonious

We are in receipt of a letter
from Senator j. D. Campbell of
this county, in which, among
other things, he states that very
slow progress is being made in
the matter of providing a state
militia or constablery.
Much opposition has developed
in the lower house. many claim
ing that such a measure is not
necessary, for the reason that
the sheriffs of the several coun-
ties, with their forces, are amply
able to take care of every emer-
gency and that the establishment
of a militia is a useless expense.
However, the real test OF
strength in the Legislature will
come within a few days.

One of the most encouraging
strikes that has been made in
this section in some years, was
made this week on the Gypsy
claim in the Stampede district.
This claim is owned by John
F. Roeder and James A.
Nesbitt of Phoebe and
Hans Olson of Caliente. Ben
Geske who has had a large ex-
perience in the district has been
prosecuting work on the claim
for some time past with the re-
suit that he has opened up the
incest showing ever uncovered
there. The ore encountered will
easily run several hundred ounces
to the ton and is very similar in
appearance to that found in the
immediate vicinity of Pioche.

The New City
Council Meets

Searchlight has at last receiv-
ed the documents which give the
southern flourishing mining
camp a title of city. The first
meetings were held this week
and steps are being take to per-
feet the running of all affairs
under city government.
The most promising mines at
tracing the mining men of
Searchlight at the present time,
is the discoveries on the work
ing of the Croft and Beason
properties. By one of the old
est mining men in the district,
it is stated that the present
showing is the best ever seen.
For a length of over 1000 feet on
the vein, in eight or ten shafts,
none of which have attained q
depth of twenty-five feet, gold
values are numerous. Work is
now being done in a minerlike
manner. The vein matter takes
its course northeast and south
west, the ore dipping to the east
the ledge or vein is of decom'
posed quartz. With futher de
velopment it is predicted that
this property will be one of thu
best in Searchlight district.

The Strike at
Leadville Cali.

Gently come into our hands OF a
new camp, located within a
thirty mile radius of the field OF
present excitement, and in the
same county. 1t is situate on
the Santa Fe railroad north, two
miles from this and south five
miles from Piute Springs.
In June, 1907, VIM Kerwin, a
Leadville, Colo, man (from
which fact the place has its
name, staked out the first claim,
which he called the Emma K.
Several men were interested
with Kerwin and together they
have located number of claims
with very excellent showings.
A shaft has been sunk on the
Emma K to a depth Of fifty-fve
feet. The first showing was a
vein six inches wide, of carbon
ate ore; the footwall only expos
ed. At six feet the hanging wall
was encountered. showing the
the occurrence of solid carbonate
of lead ore; a vein five feet wide
with two feet on the hanging
wall. The valuation averaging
60 per cent lead; with fourteen
ounces silver per ton. The vein
then showed ore well filled with
gaIena, and carrying rather
more than 100 ounces of silver.
At a fifty-fve foot depth the
vein is more than six feet wide
two feet and a half of carbon
ates carrying above sixty pc.
cent lead, while the balance O.
vein carries more heavily in ga
lena and silver.
A prospector named Legg has
located several claims about
quarter of mile southeast iron
those first staked out. Into on
of these he run a tunnel on
vein four foot wide, which car
ries a high per cent of lead wit
silver. From the ore taken ou
he has gotten good returns; hav
ing already shipped a larg
amount. Several other claim
showing veins of good value
have been partially developed
Since the middle of December
at which time the strikes wer
made public, a great number {
men have rushed in. Many va
liable clans have been located
and the result is, very actlV
camp. Enough ore has bee
taken out to pay all expense
and shipments will shortly bt
gin.
Kerwin and his people al
steadily sinking and will develc
their property thoroughly. The
are dry but well mineralize
camps in and around. 1t is u
derstood among the parties tn
sale is talked of, and may
brought about. Men of capit'
have had a representative o
