RAWHIDE SHIPS
VERY RICH ORE

RENO, New, May ia bar of
bullion weighing close to $4,000 and
representing the- output OF ten tons
OF ore from the Kearns No. 2 lease
at Rawhide, was brought to Reno to
night, the result of sample test run
completed in the Western Ore Com
pany's mill at Hazen this afternoon.
This result is surprising to the mar
agement as well as those who haya
been following the work on tn /,
kearns property, for it was believed
that the ore would return $292 ton.
The returns show an increase of more
than 500 on this estimate, or total
value of 1898 to each of the ten tons
The ore was taken from the 70-foot
level of the Kearns.
More men are at work in the dis
trict today, drawing better pay than
at any time in the history of the
camp. Work on the railroad cut of
Schurz is progressing rapidly. From
daylight to dark, Sundays and holi-
days, this will continue until the line
is completed, the contractors say. b.

ments are under way for monster

Court by Police Judge Mortimer
Smith this afternoon at the conclu-
sion of her preliminary examination
on the charge of dynamiting the home
of Superior Judge Ogden.
Judge Frick, attorney for the de-
Tense, finished his examination of
Baby John Martin at S O'Clock and
Prosecuting Attorney Brown, after
one or two perfunctory questions, did
likewise.
Without an instant's hesitation
Judge Smith announced that the evil
dence had convinced him that the
prisoner was guilty of the crime as
charged and that he would immedi
ately place her in the custody of the
sheriff of Alameda county to await
the action of the Superior Court.
There was some wrangling between
the attorneys before the amount o:
the bail was finally fixed, Fric5
claiming that $4,000, which was
suggested by the district attorney,
was unreasonably large The court,
however, decided to abide by Browns
suggestion.
