Rawhide Shipment

The first big shipment from Rawhide
was received here yesterday and will be
run through the Goldfieid- Nevada Re-
duction plant. This will decide the grade
OF the ore from the new wonder of the
desert, as it will be pretty fair. test of
its value. There are 80 tons in the lot and
the ore was taken out in the course of
development. Judging from ASSAYS it
should run at the rate of SIPS per ton.
three fourths of which is in gold and the
balance in silver. The ore came from
the Kearns lease, owned by Goldfeld in
vestors exclusively. The quartz was
taken out in sinking shaft and running

sight. The shaft is being crowded down
with all possible speed. A wire was re-
ceived yesterday that the entire bottom
is in ore that runs in the thousands at a
depth of over 100 feet, which shows that
it is not surface proposition. In ad-
dition to the shipment there is at least
IS tons on the dump and in sacks that il
is believed will run better than the ore

DEFENDANTS To SUIT
MAKE ANSWER

One of the defendants in the suit
brought by H. Mcleod to recover dam
ages for losses sustained to his crops on
account of floods, has made answer to
the complaint, which charges the Pacific
Live Stock Co. MILLER & Lux, ]. c.
Gallagher, ct al, with raising a dam on
the Walker river thereby causing the
waters of the stream to back up and over
flow their banks on the Mcleod ranch
resulting in the destruction of the crops
on the latter.
The answer in this instance is made by
ex-senator John Gallagher. In it he
specifically denies that his acts ever did
or could cause damage to Mr.. Mcleod S
farm lands. In the answer, Mr.. Gala
CHER claims prescriptive rights to certain
of the waters OF the Walker having used
them continuously since the year 1875,
1t is expected that the other parties de
PENDANT to the suit will make answer in
a short time and that the case will come
to court about next Nav.
The case is one of unusual interest.
Mr.. Mcleod claims damages in sum
exceeding $4,000. Since the year 1904
he has been deprived of profits resulting
from the culture of hay on considerable
portion of his farm owing to the overflow
of water. Mr.. Mcleod contends in his
complaint that this order of things is due
to the farmers, or portion of them,
owning lands below him having raised
the damson the Lux place. Many wit
nesses will be examined by both sides
and the case will be bitterly fought.
