SENSATION IN The
GRANITE DISTRICT

The latest and by far the most
sensational strike to be made in the
Granite district. news of which has
reached Ely. was that of yesterday
in the Buster mine by the leasers,
Messrs. Dempsey and Thompson, who
have been working the mine for sew
eral months past.
The leasers have been sacking up
and throwing on the dump about
three hundred tons of good free mill
ing ore containing plenty of the high
grade article, in preparation for the
installation of three-stamp mill
which is now on the road for the
mine.
According to the word sent to Ely
last night the strike just made by
Messrs. Dempsey and Thompson on
the Buster was in the face of the tun.
mel, which they have been driving to
greater depths for the purpose of
cross cutting the ledge which crops
out on the surface at considerable
depth and to make the working of
the mine more convenient
The ore had just been broken into
late yesterday afternoon, and the
whole face Of the tunnel is said to be
a solid rock Of high grade, the free
gold being plainly visible to the eye
No assays had been made. but pan-
nings of the ore showed a sufficient
amount of the yellow stuff to war
rant the statement that it will run
well into the hundreds If not the
thousands
News of the strike soon spread
over the camp, and rejoicing and ex-
element followed, not only at Blaine,
but in Ely as we'll. Many people in
Ely who had just returned from tn !
camp Of Blaine to attend to business
matters here. left again this morning
for the camp, where some of them
have claims located close to the Bus
ter. b
While this Is the most recent
strike to be made in the district, de-
velopment work is being carried OF
In many other places In the district
with most encouraging and crafty
ing results.
The mill at the Campbell ranch is
kept buslly engaged in crushing ore
from the Alvin mine, which yields
better than 800 per ton in free gold

His son. Jack Adler. of Chico, Cal,

the plains to California when boy
of 16 years. and in the golden State
for more than year worked claim

Night Riders Still Busy.

A few miles from our peaceful
city. over the borders Of Lake and
Obicn counties, the night riders still
continue their depredations and it
is probable that Governor Patterson
will send squad Of state militia
there TO keep peace in the neI, few
days.
In Lake County. particularly. Il
is said that Night Riders have late
ly been paying nocturnal visits TO
the homes Of fishermen, and while
the troubles have not yet resulted in
loss OF life or serious bodily injury
it is reported tina, no,.s accompanied
by switches have been lett at the
doors Of citizens. With threats that
II the amount OF fish taken from the
lakes in lha, vicinity Is not limited
to a certain number Of pounds daily,
the infraction Of the so-called Night
Riders rules will be followed by
summary vengeance, !, is said that
these threats have seriously menac-
cd the peace Of the people there,
and that on the first outbreak Of any
whippings or other crimes the Cover
nor will be called upon to interfere.
A prominent citizen from Upton
vile is known to have recently cal
led at the Governors Office for a
conference but was prevented be-
cause the Governor had just left for
his vacation at Dawson Springs. II
is understood that the visitor was
advised to have the Attorney Gener-
al and Sheriff OF Lake County for
ward any requests they might have
to make to the Governor. and the
latest information is that this will
probably be done within a few days.
unless there is prospect OF the i'm
mediate cessation Of the operation.
The trouble is said to be confined
TO Lake and Obion Counties. With
in the last few days there has been
little evidences OF trouble there. but
other threats and perhaps whippings
are said to be expected.

Gold Coinage.

The gold bullion coined into dou.
BILE eagles at the United States mint
in Philadelphia in the last fiscal year
amounted to 200 tons in weight. In
addition to the $40 pieces there we're
coined other gold pieces making the
total coinage for the year $l20, ST.
$3.50. The thickness of a double
eagle is trife less than one tenth
of an inch, and if all the pieces Of
this denomination coined last year ,
3,744,4ls were piled one upon anoth-
er they would make a pile over nine
miles high.
During the year the Philadelphia
mint struck off 26,707 ,63S silver
coins, their aggregate value being
about one-twenty.fifth of that o (
gold. The total coinage for the fis-
