Rhyolite, New, July 15.-The car
load of ore shipped last week from
the kuliaeha 4 Vucovich lease on the
Denver claim of the Tramp company
group averaged a little over $50 to the

very satisfactory. The result is a fair
reward for the industry displayed, as
these men keep steadily pegging away

Owing to the extremely dry ard hot
weather that has prevailed throughout
southern Nevada this summer, anu the
lack of snow during the last two win
ters. the usual sources OF water supply
for mills and domestic purposes have
hemn to show a considerable decrease
in available supply, and in some sec
tions a water famine is threatened.
During the past week there has been
some apprehension regarding the water
supply for the mills around Goldfield rs
well as for the city, but efforts to in
crease the supply from adjacent
sources have been successfully made by
the Goldfeld Water company at their
springs in the Ida district, and at AL
kali Springs, so that an additional 100,
900 gallons per day will soon be avail
