just returned from q prospecting trip in
Diamond Valley. They found an nj
cropping Of gold ore that ssssyed
about ~ in gold to the ton. The
prospect is situated near John Siri's
ranch, about 80 miles north Of Eureka.
All the work that has ct present been
done on the new find is the necessary
location work.
They returned here this week to COM
mence development work on . group Of
five claims they own with others In
New York Canyon. about two miles
south of Eureka. The character Of the
ore is similar to that found in the
Windfall, assays Of from IS to go in
gold being obtained. and the are
of the opinion that their claims are on
the same belt as that now famous rhine.
Recently the Messrs. Affranchino and
partners were made q cash offer Of S10,-
900 for these five claims, which they re-
fused, as they feel confident with the

Two Buildings and Their Contents De.
stroye9-Stock Corrals Saved

stroyec-Stock Corrals Saved
A fire occurred at Diamond station on
the Eureka & Palisade Railway. 12 miles
north Of Eureka. about 5 O'Clock Friday
evening of last week, destroying the
dwelling In which Section Foreman +.
ImObersteg was living. and also the
house occupied by the two section men,
about so feet distant.
Mr.. Oborsteg and the two section men
that afternoon had been working a few
miles south of the station, aud wnen
their days work was done the two men
walked into Eureka, the foreman re-
turning to Diamond on a hand car. He
had just seated himself at the table in
his residence preparatory to having sup
per, when glancing through the window
ne saw the section mems house on fire.
He Immediately endeavored to put out
the blazs.
AS all the buildings and stock COR
rails are located on the east side OF the
track and the company's water tank on
the west side, it becAms necessary to
get the water supply from that source.
Before he hal thrown two bucketsful
OF water on the fire he observed his own
house ablszs. He then ran over to his
place and ~endeavored to get out some of
his household effects, but all he succeed
ed in saving was his trunk aud a case OF
carnation cream.
When he saw that it was useless to
try to save any Of the buildings he d.
rected his work to the saving of the
stock corrals. which he succeeded in do
ing. A strong wind was blowing at the
time, making the work of fighting the
fire. as far as the houses were concerned,
futile. The origin of the fire was due
to sparks from the passenger locomotive
that passed Diamond station that after
noon bringing the train to Eureka.
The house occupied by Mr.. Oberstee
vas comparatively a new building that
vas built by the railway company about
two years ago. 1t consisted of -four
rooms, all furnished. This furniture.
however. was owned by Mr.. Obersteg.
In addition he had just laid in quite a
supply of provisions. all of which were
totally destroyed. lie estimates his loss
at between s175 and $2C0.

VISIT TO NEWARK VALLEY
r. A. Dean, Representing Ely
Record, Writes of Recent Trip
In Western White Pine

A weeks visit to Newark Valley,
White Pine County, is well worth the
time spent ct present. One should com
mence at Silverado, but as IL is hard to
keep a horse over night there / headed
for Pinto Greek, owned by James Ro-
gantini. to whose hospitable home one
is ever welcome. This ranch lie mostly
devoted to hay aud live stock. The al.
falfa this year is very fine, but Jim also
has about 40 Of as fine hogs and shoats
as one would meet with in the Missouri
Valley. He supplies the Eureka mar
ket with a good deal of it's neat. In
the orchard here the apple trees are
loaded. and the potato crop is an excep-
tionally fine one.
While at the ranch / learned that
Goldfeld parties are doing . great deal
Of work at Silverado, and that some
Eureka men who own mines there are
also busy doing their assessment work.
From Pinto Greek I visited Joseph
Meister, who owns q number Of fine
mines 10 the Diamond Range and who
devotes himself exclusively to mining.
While taking lunch with this gentle
man / learned from him that he has
from 25. 200 to 10000 tons Of ore blocked
out, which the present cost Of freight
alone prevents him from shipping. OF
course, Mr.. Meister is hoping for q rail-
road, which will make his mines big
producers. He has spent nearly 30
years in developing his mines, and he
deserves success.
From there l visited Newark Mills and
the Base Range mines. w. H. Vain
wright. the superintendent. was at home
all alone. and the mine and mill have
been closed for the present. Mr.. VAIN
wright was not feeling well. and SO
could talk little. He told me. however.
that he would not dare to say how much
ore there was that would run from SIS
to $40 q ton. but there were thousands
of tons. @. NJ. Perry, the president Of
the company, who is at present in Bos-
ton. is expected back soon, when active
work will commence again.
From here / went tt the ranch Of Will.
liam Robinson. This is a fruit and hay
ranch. Here the trees are so heavily
loaded that the boughs bend to the
ground. Mr.. Robinson has more than
20 tons of fruit on hand, and finds il
hard to dispose of it. He informed me
that the cheapest way to keep me was
to feed me on apples. and then kind Mrs.
Robinson called us to a dinner, and the
table fairly groaned under all the delica'
cies Of the season. Mr.. Robinson has
also harvested q heavy crop of hay.
After spending day with the Robin
son family I next went to the ranch Of
w. H. Smith. This is the largest fruit
