knowing of the threats, of the con
spiracy and under the circumstances
he believed they would agree with him
that they would have acted as Mr.
Wells had acted.
Territorial Witnesses had testified
that there was no prosecution fund.
when the minutes of the union show
ed that such fund existed. Can these
witnesses who varied so much from
the truth as proven and from each 9th
er, can their testimony be believed.
They cannot be believed in anything
especially when mans life is at
stake
The law recognizes the right of self
defense. 1t was necessary only for the
de fendant to believe that his life was
in danger and he had then the right
to take the lifetof Shirley as he had
done.
Only God and the defendant can
krow what was In the brain of the de-
feadant when he fired the fatal shot.
What would a prudent, reasonable
man have done under similar circun-
stances? Would he not have acted as
had the defendant?
Wells never laid a trap and never
planned for the defense. He was not
that kind of man. He was man who
had the respect and esteem of his fel
low citizens; he had lived here for
ten years, had employed hundreds of
men. both union and non-union and
had built many buildings. and during
all that time had been in but one con-
troversy. which had been brought out

he had been fined but one dollar by

distance below the peak. There is a
large porphyry dyke cutting through
the hill at THIS point, and the ore is
closely associated With this dyke.
The main tunnel of the Columbia
Mountain Mining company, starting
on the east side of the hill Is said to
have reached a point within about
800 feet of where the vein can be
tapped by it below the bottom of
the shaft in which the ore was found.
Mr.. Thomas is already making ar
engagements for capital to drive the
TUNE ahead to the vein.
Just what the strike may eventual
ly amount to is not yet determined,
but the discovery has reused a great
deal of interest. and Il Is possible
that it will develop into something
of great Importance.

BOSTON NEVADA
BUYS GROUP
TAKES OVER CUMBERLAND
CLAIMS IN THE OSCEOLA DIS
TRICT-MILL FOR THE PROP
\
ERTIEs TO BE BUILT SOON.

The Cumberland group of five
claims in the Osceola district has
passed into the hands of the Boston
Nevada Mining and Milling company.
The claims belonging to the group
are the Blue Bell, Blue Bird, Alice
R. Grand Deposit and Nevada Lode.
The following persons have trans
ferred their one-tenth interest each
to Boston-Nevada: J.. Marriott, Grow
er Tilford, Chas. Bliss, Joel Hume,
Orson Hudson and J.. H. Marriott,
two tenths. The estate ofs John
Winnens owns t~wo-tenths of the
group, while the remaining one
tenth is held by the estate of Lam
bert Anthony. Before these interests
a be acquired it will be necessary
to have the estates probated in the
district court.
1t is the intention of Manager
Goody to erect a mill on the prop
critics and begin extensive Develop
ment work at once. Mr.. Goody is
AN experienced chemist and metalur-
gist. Exhaustive tests of the ore
will be made before erection of the
milling plant.
The Boston Nevada company is a
Denver corporation, and has been
operating in the Osceola district for
the past three years. Development
work on the Mulligan group has been
carried on by the company during
that period.

WAY PROVE

P. S. Gardner, who with Sam
Crane has secured a bond on the
rich Ramona mines in the new camp
of Wassuk. about eleven miles south
west of Lucky Boy, was in Reno re-
Gently, arranging to secure supplies
for the property. He states that the
camp was discovered some months
ago by Elmer Lowden, Charles Gro
gen and Nick Reinhardt and that
the mines have been only developed
on a small scale, but that a ledge
more than IA feet wide and assay
ing more than $50 clear across, can
be traced for more than 5000 feet
and that through this ledge are
streaks Of high grade. Yesterday
he had a sample that assayed SIS
500 and Sam Crane had a button of
gold of the value of 1910, which
was taken from a piece of ore weigh
ing ~ ounces. Gardner states
that with the camp property dew
eloped it will be another Goldfield
and that he is sure the mines he and
Crane now have an option on will
prove richer than the famous Mo
hawk of the southern mining city.

OLD TINE CAMP
COMING FRONT

TUSCARORA, . Merit
will always win, and o comes a
great producing camp of former
years and bids fair to again make
the mining world sit up and take
notice, says a special to the Nevada
State journal. John r. tattison
has completed his mill and begun
the task of working over the old
Navajo dump. The Nevajo mine
was never worked below the 600
foot level, and yet has an accredited
production of $1,000 600. The new
concentrating plant of Mr.. Pattison
is a success and will be run to its
full capacity. Mr.. Pattison is back
ed by Ogden capitalists and also has
a lease ON the Rose group.
e. A. P. Johnson, p. G. Johnson,
R. It. Noble and w. d. Bray have
purchased the Young lease on the
placer properties of the Nevada Hy-
draulic Mining & Milling company,
have equipped a thorough ny
draulic plant and are successfully
working the same with 1900 feet of
pipe lines running from II to 22
inches in size, with a fall of 125 feet,
throwing water through a 4-inch
nozzle against a gravel bank 20 feet
high. They have 10 men employed.
The gravel is very rich, a general
test showing values from 81 to So
per cubic yard. Many rich nuggets
have been picked up. in fact the
leasers have enough gold stored to
pay all expenses to date and no
cleanup has been made. The writer
saw a 6-ounce nugget that was pick
ed up by Mr.. Noble while superin-
tending the work TWO weeks ago.
Besides the free gold secured in the
dirt and gravel. large boulders,
ranging in weight from / to 40
pounds literally alive with gold, are
found daily.
The Mayham combine, made up
of New York and Denver capitalists,
has secured the Dexter, Grand Prize,
Belle Isle, Queen Common wealth
and a number of properties of lesser
note. The properties have already
produced about $3S,000,0 600 and
the deepes workings are 100 feet.
As in other sections of the state no
/ deep mining has been done Mining
engineers are of the opinion that
with depth greater values viii be
found.
Generally speaking there are two
| great bikes of rhyolite traversing
the Tuscarora district, the upper
or western dyke carrying its greatest
! values in silver, and the lower dyke
predominating in gold values. The
gold bell is about two and a half
miles in width. The formation IS
much the same as that at Goldfield.
Give Tuscarora railroad facilities
and in less than three years she will
rank with the leading producers OF
THE state. One might truthfully say
that here is an empire awaiting the
coming of a railroad. Boston capital
lists were here last month and Mon
tana capitalists are now making an
examination of two properties.

ELY CENTRAL TO BEGIN SINKING
TO-DAY NEAR COPPER FLAT PIT
MONEY PUT IN TREASURY FOR
AGGRESSIVE SINKING AND
CHURN DRILL CAMPAIGN
RAPID WORK TO BE DONE.

Exceedingly good Ely Central
news came last evening in a tele-
gram to Fred S. Pheby from Pres
ident O.. A. Turner authorizing the
immediate commencement of a three
compartment shaft on the Eureka
Fraction claim of the company. The
site for this shaft was selected some
time ago and order for the beginning
of the work has been awaited with
much interest in the district.
Ample funds for sinking the shaft
and also for the conduct of an
aggressive churn drill campaign on
the Chispy and Quartette claims, the
telegram last night stated, have
been placed in the treasury.
Order for two more drills has
been placed and it is expected that
a strong battery will be going on
this ground by the middle of Septem-
Der. The one drill now on the prop
erty will probably be able to resume
within the next week, it having been
shut down recently because OF lack
Of supplies which suddenly became
necessary through i'll luck with the
hole it was sinking. These supplies
are now somewhere on the road and
as soon as received the drill will
esume its work. The Chispy and
Ouartette claims are within 500 feet
of the shaft on the line of Nevada Con
of Nevada Con.
Sinking for the three compart-
ment shaft will be commenced this
morning and no time lost in pushing
the working through the overburden
to the ore body, which at the site
of tie saft. on te line of Nevada Con-
solidated. 40 feet east of the south
east limit of Copper Flat pit, is
thought to be about $50 feet down.
Finding of commercial grade ore
here will practically assure the
future of the property as a big mine.
Mining Engineer Hoffman, well
known in association with a number
of successful Nevada and Utah min
ing enterprises, will arrive Saturday
in company with VIM. B. Parish,
widely known mining expert, who
comes to make report on Ely Cen
trail ground. Mr.. Hoffman, who
visited the property some weeks ago,
will remain to take charge of the
development campaign. On the
Eureka Fraction, ready for imme-
date installation, are a 40 h. p. boiler

along with necessary tools, in conse-
uuence of which there will be no de-
