ance.
Dry Wash Wilson made clean
up Friday evening from his claim just
below the town that was little short
of phenomenal. While no figures
were given out quiet tip that re-
turns averaged better than $12 per
yard for his pay stuff sluiced was the
general understanding. Nuggets
ranging in value from $1.60 to So
and Sc were plentiful.
Below Wilson's workings dozens
upon dozens of holes are being put
down with all the speed possible with
good mining and throughout the en-
tire district an air of confidence in
the future greatness of Manhattan
prevails.
"Over at Round Mountain also
placer operations are I'm the public
eye. Besides the hydraulic which is
yielding good returns William Madi-
gan has started placering on a block
of Daisy ground from which good sur
face paintings are obtained.
Taken as whole the placer prop
ositions now being developed in both
the Manhattan and Round Mountain
districts bid fair to again bring the
attention of the public in their direc-
ton on we'll deserved merits.

MARY RECITES
Her TROUBLES
TO The Court
HER SECOND APPEARANCE IN
COURT RESULTS
FATALLY.

Mary O'Neil had troubles. But
that was nothing unusual for Mary.
She has had troubles ever since she
could remember. And in order to
drown these troubles Mary has &C
quired quite liking for whisky.
AS result of this liking, Mary
adorned a chair in the justice court
yesterday, having been arrested Sun
day night when she had bun that
would have done credit to John L.
Sullivan. She was also very repent
ent and wished she was back in Gold
field.
The court listened to her troubles
which were pathetic at times and on
several occasions during the recital
his honor was forced to use his hand
kerchief in wiping away the tears.
Mary was using her sleeve for this
same purpose. And when Mary
thought she had won her freedom
Judge Atkinson presented her with
twenty-five days in the county bastile
where she will have chance to for
get the troubles.
Mary was tried on a vagrancy
charge in this court last week and
was ordered to leave town. She NOV
ed to Goldfield, but returned here
Sunday night and proceeded to cele-
brate Immediately after her arrival.
