MINING ACTIVITY AT
CAMP OF OSCEOLA

G. Luther Williams recently took
about 100 pounds of ore from one of his
prospects which he ground in a mortar
and PANIED out the gold which was run
into a brick and found to be worth
$S5. or almost one dollar to the pound.
The Pilot Knob company is working
eight men on two shifts running a tun-
mel into one of the claims of the group
on the Knob and expects to strike the
ore soon, when a mill run will be made
at the company's stamp mill on Willard
creek.
C. w. Gaby has several men at work
in Dry gulch sinking a shaft to catch
the old channel of the gulch where the
nuggets come from.
The Gold Bar company has struck the
rim of the channel in the new shaft
and is following the rim down. Some
pay gravel is being found on the sides
OF the rim, but the best pay will likely
be found in the bottom of the channel.
DIR. r. H. Richardson, of Ely, is look
ing after the affairs of the company.
Hume and Marriott made a short-run
cleanup lately and are reported to
have taken out several hundred dollars,
and are continuing work.
John T. Cone and others on the Stall
wart, belonging to Boone Tilford, are
said to be getting good pay gravel.
The Industrious Twelve, a pool of
local miners, are sinking a shaft on the
big ledge recently struck in the ground
sluice west of Osceola. The ore pros
poets well and they expect to open a
good shoot in the shaft now going
down.
The New Moon company is still driv-
ing ahead into Osceola mountain as it
has been doing for the last two years,
but the manager does not have any
thing to say.
William Robinson, superintendent for
the Nil Desperandum Mining company,
is away on a trip to Phoebe.
The camp is IN good condition and
the best features of the work now be-
ing done is that it is mostly by local
owners who are thereby showing their
faith in the district.

That the new town Of Sierra is to
make a real live mining camp is now
beyond question. Where a few days
ago nothing but a luxurious growth OF
sagebrush greeted the prospector and
capitalist, there is now a hustling, &C
tive little city of upwards of 40 tents.
Two frame buildings are started and
contracts are being let for additional
ones. Scores of prospectors and in
vestors radiate from it to the adjoining
hills, where every day fresh showings
are uncovered and new lodges, practi-
cally all Of which show free gold on
the surface, are discovered

Another Mining District

The mining fever has struck the PEG
pie of Carlin, New, and every one is
stalking off claims in the Lynn district,
located twenty miles north of that
place. Already stores are being built,
the TOWNSHIP is laid off and boarding
houses are running full blast. A ear
of ore is now being loaded to ship. An
automobile makes trips three times =
week.

DEVELOPING Gold Crown

On the Gold Crown property at Gold
Circle at this time are employed fifty
men. The shaft and the tunnel have
been connected on the 100-foot level, in
the company workings and drifting and
sinking beth aee in progress. With
eastern capital taking kindly to the new
district it is certain that some pretty
large propositions will be launched
there in the zeal future.

Camp Telluride

Rich cinnabar ore has been discov-
cred on the Burner-Sweeney lease at
Telluride, eight miles east of Beatty.
The shaft is down rs feet, and is in ore
from the surface. Crude tests place
the quicksilver content around 10 per
cent, with a value of 500. Besides this
the ore runs about $40 in gold and
silver. 1t was reported that a vein of
quartz running high in native silver
was broken into yesterday at the bot

Hawthorne a Center

Because the county scat OF Esmeralda
county has been removed to Goldheld'
it does not signify that Hawthorne has
become a relic Of the past, says Coionei

point for a vast mining country thar
MANY are aware of. Within a radius
of 20 miles in every direction are many
properties containing gold, silver, lead
and copper, and a majority with much
development.

Survey Completed

James Leonard, superintendent Of
the Virginia & Gold Hill Water COM
pany, and Engineer w. T. Moran, went
over the route of the pipe line to Jumbo
Saturday and determined on the course
and length of the line. The exact
figures have not been compiled, but will
be about one and one fourth miles. 1t
is planned to start from the big reser-
voir with a six-inch pipe, which will be
gradually reduced. The town supply
line will leave the line intended for the
Selby mill at a height sufficient to in
sure a good local pressure for domestic
use and fire protection.-Miner

SENSATIONAL WILL CASE.
Court Decides in Favor Of the First OF
Three Widows

Boston, Jan. 21.-An unusually SEN
sational will case, in which three wo-
men clc.med a widows share of tina
estate of the late millionaire, Joseph
A. Greenough, was decided by Judge
George in the probate court in favor
of Mrs. Greenough No. 1, who prior to
her secret marriage to Greenough in
1874 was Miss Martha Higgins. Judge
George. ordered a partial distribution
of the estate, amounting to 100000,
to the first Mrs. Greenough and the
next kin.
The first Mrs. Greenough claimed to
have been divorced from Greenough
in Colorado in 1876. Judge George
held that as neither of the parties had
a domicile in Colorado at the time the
divorce was granted, the divorce was
rendered null and void. i r..
The other two claimants for wild
ow's share of the estate were Mrs.
Emma Peaton-G reenough, who now
bears the name, and who claims a
public marriage to Greenough in 1885,
and Mary M. Kerkes, a Hungarian
artist of Philadelphia, who says she
was married to GreeEough in 1886.

ESTATE OF LITTLE EGYPT"
Investigation Shows That the Dancer
Was Wealthy.

New York, JAN. 21.-Fred Hamlin
of the banking firm of Hamlin & Co.
of East Bloomfield, N. Y, has applied
for letters of administration for the
estate of Catherine Devine, the 'Lit-
tie Egypt of Seeley dinner fame, who
died alone in her fiat in West Thirty
seventh. street two weeks ago. Z. MI.
Hamlin asserts that he married the
dancer nearly twelve years ago.
The relatives of the dancer win
fight Hamlin's claims. The value of
the estate is estimated at nearly $780,
900.
At the time of Little Egypt's"
death it was not generally supposed
that she had left a fortune. > An in
yestigation, however, revealed the
fact that she owned real estate in
New York, in Long Island, Canada and
New :. Jersey. In addition she had
several bank accounts and much val
liable jewelry. She had been on the
stage for more than twenty years and
her income was about $1,000 a week.
