BANK AT SULPHUR
 SPRINGS ROBBED

phur Springs was blown open at o'clock Sunday morning with nitroglycerine and the bank rob- bed of Sl,560 by four men, who, after accomplishing their pur- pose, fired several shots at the excited citizens and escaped in l the darkness.
 The robbers performed their work with daring coolness and skill. Before attempting to gain entrance to tie bank they car ried many spools of heavy wire from nearby hardware store and erected d formidable breast work in front of the bank. Then stationing ole man in front and another in the rear the remaining pair opened the door by means of skeleton key, and, closing it plugged the latch. The outer doors of the safe were blown off at one charge and the inner door torn to pieces at an- other. The lock on the cash box was picked by a skeleton key and the cash box rified of all its contents with the. exception of r cents which the bandits saw fit to leave. The money was placed in sacks which the men carried. and which they were seen 10 swing on their backs when they left tile bank. But the shots had aroused a number of persons and these began to gather about the bank. T he man stationed in the rear of the bank fired several shots and shouted to the excited citizens: Keep back or l will blow your heads off. " The two men in the bank came out and all four of the robbers dashed of together on foot. By=this time many citizens were aroused and an in- vestlgation began. The full eX- tent of the robbery was aseer- tained and al once posses were organized to pursue the robbers. Today these posses are securing the surrounding country in every direction. The men when last seen were going westward and, 1t Is believed, were on their way to the Oklahoma line, Sul- phur Springs IS located almost directly east of the rugged fast nesses in which the famous Wick klytfe gang were accustomed to seek shelter when they terrorized the eastern part of Oklahoma. The country between Sulphur Springs and these bandit hiding places IS of d broken and hilly nature. It easily affords shelter and defensible refuge for the rob- bers should the pursuit become too close. Rogers Journal.
 Ambrose Carey and Charley Lang were arrested this morning at the instigation of W. NJ. Brown on the charge of assault ing the latter as he was return ing home about ten o'clock last night. The trial was held be- fore Judge Pollard this after noon. Carey was fined S100 and costs and Lang was discharged. Carey had insulted Brown in Skaggs' drug store earlier i'll the evening and assaulted him as lie was on his way home. In the miXup Carey was cut several times by Brown with pocket knife but nene of the wounds are serious. Lang, who was with Carey, was charged with assisting III the assault but lie claimed that he Was trying to separate the eombatants. Fay etteville Daily, Friday.

The Ore Worth
Dollar a Pound

MAzUMA, Dec. 16.-Ore that goes
81 a pound was encountered yester-
day at the 105-foot level of the
Black and Campbell lease on the
Seven Troughs Wild Bull, in Wild
Horse canyon. They have been sink
ing a vertical shaft, and the vein,
pitching to the east, came into the
shaft. This is the same vein which
was encountered and followed at the
sixty-foot level, the ore assaying as
high as $4,000 a ton.
At the sixty-foot level a crosscut
was run to the vein and the latter
was drifted on for thirty feet, when
It was decided to resume sinking.
There is still high grade ore in the
drift, and the vein, eight feet N
width, will produce good milling ore
all through. Only a few days ago
some very rich float was picked up al
the bottom of the hill on the lease
and this was followed until anothel
vein was encountered, paralleling thu
vein on which they have been work
ing. Sinking in the shaft will be con
tinued, and a crosscut driven fro
the present level to cut the new vein
Work is to be resumed in the mai
workings of the Wild Bull on the frs
!. of the year. The shaft is down II
I feet, at which depth work had to b
suspended on account of water con
ing in. At that level they had grea
ore in the shaft. One streak on th
: west wall is eight inches wide, an
= went 5000 a ton. On the east wa
they have four inches of ruby silv'
# and free gold, which also went vel
high in values. There are three fe.
of gangue which gives excellent mil
u ing returns, The company lacks Il

IT'S A GOOD
LIE, At LEAST

The Reno Reveille is authority TO-
the following:
Jimmie Clark, assemblyman-elect
from this county and secretary OF the
Reno Gun club, has lost a valuable
Llewellyn setter in a rather extraor-
binary way.
While out shooting last Sunday,
Jimmie noticed the dog was behaving
peculiarly, and upon his return to
Reno made inquiry OF T. F. Briggs,
who is something of an amateur vet
Urinary, as to what had best be done
for the animal.
Biggs, after. studying the setter an
the situation for several minutes, al
vised that the animal be given a
dozen seidlitz powders separately,
and then a bucket OF water. Biggs
did so hat night just before retiring,
and turned the dog into the back
yard.
Hearing a loud report in the back
yard about daybreak, he arose and
upon making investigation, found the
fore part of the dogs body lying near
the back door, with a string OF foam
about three yards long, running back
ward from his mouth. The remain
der Of the carcass was up against thf
fence twenty feet away. The dog
: countenance, wen in death, showed
traces of suffering.
After enduring the internal effer
vescenee of a dozen seidlitz powder
for five hours, the creature hal
blown to pieces. thus ending his suf
ferings.

SChwdb Investing
. In InyO Mines

Charles M. SchNab, the famous
steel magnate, has again turned his
personal attention to mining, and
this time has set his eyes on Inyo. He,
in company with Gail Borden, the
multl-millionaire condensed milk
manufacturer from New York, are
expected daily at Big Pine, from
where they are to inspect the Loret-
ia mine, some twenty miles from
there in the White mountains. Pre-
liminary to the coming of Schwab
and Borden, has arrived e. S. Shelf

sents D. w. Bradley, from San Fran
cisco, who is probably the most ex-
tensive mining operator of precious
metals in the world.
Sheffield has kept his business here
, very quiet, but admits that he has
come here for his employer to look
over the Loretta; and admits that his
y visit here was occasioned by the com
q ing of the New York capitalists with
whom, it appears, Mr.. Bradley has
Joined hands in development and ex.
ploitation of the great Loretta mine
in these remote mountains. This in

. in view of the widespread operation

Bradley is at the head of a minini
syndicate that is now employing owe
1000 men in Corea in mining a ia

the main peak and in the foot hills
of the Montezuma mountain. the
eminence twenty miles westward
from Goldfeld, which rears its sum

Montezuma has no great record OF
production, for two reasons. Inc
mines are not sensational pocket pro-
ducers, but are big and strong and OF

milling and shipping, but rarely
reaches the latter characteristic in a
commercial way. This does not meat
that no ore has been shipped from
the Montezuma at a profit. 1t has
been done frequently, but by careful
sorting, which impoverished the re

The Law on
Oil Locations

Just at this particular time when
indications seem &c point to the de-
yelopment of oil fields in this vicin-
ity, as well as in other parts of Ne
vada, the legal aspect of methods
pursued in filing claims, becomes OF
peculiar interest
The law upon the method to b,
pursued in filing upon oil land seems
clear. but the decisions rendered
upon various points leaves n IN
doubt in regard to minor features.
One fact, however, has been abund-
antly demonstrated. 1t pays to bt
on the safe side, and comply with
the law in letter as well as in spirit

ond fWhat do you consider the st
twerof a placer mineral filing for oil

s.. DO you consider that the $40.
assessment work per year on roads
etc, without actual discovery OF o
appropriates the surface to the ca
clusion OF bona fde locators?
4. 1t has been customary in som
cases to form groups of placer locf
tons in quarter sections and do a
sessment work OF 800 on the entir
100 acres. DO you consider that tn
will hold?
