DAY "REMINISCENCES
Scrap of History Of Two Mines
In This District That Have
Produced Fortunes

The Nevada Mining News Is publish
ing each week a number of interesting
articles under the heading by the
Bye" giving the history Of people and
places in this State. The last issue re-
calls how two mines of this district-the
Richmond on Ruby Hill and the Page
g. Corwin at Secret ~canyon-were dis
covered and opened mp by practical
miners. Following is the way the
News states it
The Richmond mine In Eureka was
owned by four common miners. They
had worked all their lives in a mine, all
but one of them. One was a soldier in
the great war, and when he received an
honorable discharge he came West and
learned the business of mining. They
opened that property themselves; that
is. they partially opened it. They
opened it enough to show hat the pos.
sibilities were that a great mine would
be uncovered. They bonded the prop
erty for a few months and it was finally
sold and they were all able to 60 and
buy stock ranches and to stock them.
Except for the work they did that Win
ter of '69.'70. they might still have been
working by the day in some mine or
chasing over the hills to try to find q
mine.
Out south of Eureka a few miles two
men named Page and Corwin found a
little assure. 1t cropped out perhaps
200 yards and it had from Is to Is
inches Of ore. They went to work.
They mined their ore and sold it for
what they could get, and in a single
year made handsome fortunes.
But speaking of the Richmond mine.
the English company that bought it
paid some $500. 900 for it. The first
agents thought they were cheated. They
got that $500. 900 back in clear profits
twenty times over. so the original locat-
ors and the fret purchasers all did well.
aud there a thousand hills in Nevada
that look just as full of promise as did
Ruby Hill when those miners went to
work.

W|NOFALL LEASE SHIPPING
Company Will Install Cyanide
Plant at the Mine to Work
Low Grade Ores

s. M. Chord and r. II. Locke of the
Eureka Mining and Leasing Company
made a shipment of 20 IONS Of ore on
Wednesday Of this week to the Utah
shelters. and have q second shipment
well under way.
These shipments are being taken from
their lease on the windfall group OF
mines situated about six miles south OF
Eureka oil what is known as the Secret
canyon summit. and promises to be q
very productive property.
The leasers began work In May Of this
year aud prospected the ground for
some time with the object of deter.
mining the extent of the body of
cyanding ore available. While this
was being prosecuted. about the latter
part Of June. they discovered the vein
Of shipping ore while drifting from the
level Of the short tunnel.
II is a well defined contact vein be.
tween lime and q large body of low
grade quartz. The high grade streak
will average from six inches to two and
a half feet. aud Is in q very brecciated
condition. Assays show values of $160,
1904 and s240 in gold, while the entire
vein carries high shipping values. They
are now sinking and drifting on the
vein. and at q depth Of about Is feet it is
more clearly defined as well as increasing
in values.
The lower grade quartz through
which this vein runs will average from
$40 to ga in gold per ton. and the ledge
q be traced for several hundred feet
on their ground. This ledge has been
carefully p~rospected and assays show
that the ore is continuous and several
feet wide on the surface.
Messrs. Chord and Locke are pur.
chasing equipment for a 20.ton cyanide
plant to treat this low-grade ore, which
carries practically gold values only, and
is entirely free from Objectionable ele-
ments. This plant will be erected at
the mine, where an ample supply Of
water is to be obtained.
They have recently increased their
force at the mine aud will vigorously
push development work on the high
grade ore body.

SATURDAYS SHOOTING AFFRAY
Harry Davies Fires Two Shots at
Rory Mechanics, Both Taking
Effect in the Head

Saturday afternoon about $50 O'Clock
County Clerk r. Mechanics was shot
twice in the head by Harry Davies in
the rear room of Mrs. 0. d. Green's
millinery and stationery store on South
Main street. The particulars of the
affair as near as the SENTINEL has been
able to learn. are about as follows:
Mr.. Mechanics vas sitting in the rear
room ~talkirs 20 Mrs. Green when Harry
Davies came into the store through the
Main street entrance. Mrs. Green,
hearing some n come in. went into
the store. Davies passed by her and
proceeded into the rear room. where he
met Mr.. Mechanics.
From statements made it is said no
angry words were exchanged by the
two men. but Mr.. Davies Immediately
returned into the store and picking up
Mrs. Green's 22-calibre revolver that
was lying behind the counter. proceeded
to the rear room where Mr.. McCharles
was sitting. Mrs. Green did not see
Davies pick up the pistol, but as he
walked toward the room where
Mechanics was, she saw the revolver in
his hand aud warned him to be careful
with the weapon as it was loaded. By
this time the latter had entered the rear
room. Mrs Green still remaining in the
store. when she heard a shot. She then
started to go into the room where the
two men were, but before reaching the
door she heard another shot.
When she entered the room Mr.. Nc
Charles was falling out Of the chair in
which he was sitting on to the floor.
Shortly after Mrs. Green aud MI.
Davies had picked up Mr.. Nc
Charles from the floor and placed him
on the lounge. the latter regained con.
seriousness. and asked Davies why he
had shot him. No reply was made.
When the suggestion was made to
Mr.. Mechanics that a doctor be called.
he refused, saying he did not think he
was seriously wounded. Shortly after
Mr.. Mechanics left the store and
walked to his Off ce in the Court House.
Later he was taken to his home on
Spring street and DIR. w. F. Burnett
summoned.
The physician made an examination
of the wounds and found that one bull.
let had struck him over the left eye,
breaking one of The rims of his glasses,
and glancing upward cut a furrow on
the forehead, producing a flesh wound.
The second shot entered the extreme
upper lobe of the right ear and pene-
trated the skull some two inches or
more, as indicated by the probe. The
face on that side was powder burned.
Unless complications SCI in it is not
thought the wounds received by Mr..
Mechanics will necessarily prove fatal.
Sunday morning MI. Mechanics was
slightly delirious. but later in the day
his condition had improved and he was
resting easy.
Saturday night Mr.. Mechanics swore
out a warrant before Judge L. w.
Cromer. charging Harry Davies with
intent to kill. MIR. Davies was arrested,
placed under $1,000 bonds aud is now in
the county Jail.

BALD MOUNTAIN MINES BONDED
Option on IL Claims Owned by Al
Dees Of Eureka Given r. n. Locke

Mountain in White Pine County. says

trict and inspect a group Of claims there
in which they are interests ID.
The Bald Mountain district was the
scene of considerable work last year.
when the Copper Basin Company was
working the Skaggs property. and it is
understood to have expended more
than 500. 900, but the enterprise was
badly managed and the company failed.
Tunnels were run that did not get any
thing like the depth they should in
comparison to their length, and il part
Of the money had been spent in sinking
a couple of shafts the company would
probably still be on its feet aud have
something to show for the expenditure.
AL Dees of Eureka has bonded q
group of II claims to r. H. Locke, al
assayer of the same place. who was
impressed with the values obtained
from the samples he run for Dees.
Some trouble was experienced at first.
for while the ore panned big values.
the fire assays were low. After Locke's
attention had been called to the pam
ming tests he made an analysis Of the
ore and found it contained bismuth,
and by eliminating that element he
found the samples carried up to several
hundred dollars a ton in gold. The
price named in the bond is $4,000.
The lodges are numerous, but small and
close together.
Wingield and Nixon were at one
time interested in the district but the
assays they got from samples sent to
them were not satisfactory. probably
for the same eason that troubled
Locke, and SO they dropped out of the
district.
