ANOTHER RICH STRIKE
Is MADE AT HAWTHORNE

A very rich and important strike
has inst been made on the Christensen
lease on the Lucky Boy property at
Lucky Boy, and great excitement pre-
walls in the camp and at Hawthorne in
consequence. The ore is grey copper
and lead. similar to the Hubbard lease,
and will run from hundreds to thous-
ands of dollars a ton. The Importance
of the strike is in the fact that it is
or a vein parallel to the one that has
been making all the history there up
to date, and it's discovery proves the
naturalization of the country to prac-
tically double what it had been proven
before.

Homer Wilson. Mackenzie then lies
back, waiting for the mine to default
on its notes, which he was certain
would happen, when he and Peek would
bring action to foreelose.
But Hickey, who has great faith in
the Keane Wonder mine, which has be
come a pet of his, did not propose to
see Mackenzie get it. His interest in
the trust deed was much smaller than
Mackenzie's Is, and if the mine were
taken under the sale, Mackenzie would
have the controlling interest, and he
could easily freeze Hickey out. What

On Saturday, Earl r. Clemens. a
small stakeholder in the keane Wonder
mine, goes into court and asks fer a re-
straining order to prevent a sale, ami
asks for an accounting, ETC., etc, and
the sale set for the 18th of April will
not come off, as scheduled.

something like this: That the mort
gage given to Mackenzie was made as
a blanket, to "cover a multitude of
SINS" The Keane Wonder Mining
company did not W the State Bank
and Trust company anything like $780,
900, the amount the mortgage called
for; hat the Keane Wonder Mining
company did not owe the Frances Mo
hawk $133,24S, or never did, but that
the mortgage given on the keane Won
der property was made to corer the
$4,000 of the mine, and in addition the
personal indebtedness of Homer Wilson
and the Homer Wilson Trust company
which was represented by the balance.
In other words, that if the Keane Won
der Mining company was indebted to
Mackenzie at all, it was in a sum not to
exceed 4 $4,000.
Sly old Hickey! Having first gotten
Mackenzie to surrender his stock in the
company, he then brings an action to
set aside the trust deed given in lieu of
the stock, and scales his claim down to
a mere ~pittance, and possibly to moth
ing. When an accounting is made
Mackenzie will have to prove that the
bank S claim was legal, that the bank s
assignment of its claim against the
Keane Wonder to him was regular and
legal. As the assignment of the ac-
count was made by a bank under sus
pension, for the benefit of one depositor
as against all others, this may lie a
hard thing to prove, and if proven,
Mackenzie will then lose his claim to
the mine and will have to take pot luck
with all other depositors, taking his 5
cents on the dollar.
Not long ago Hickey was heard to re-
mark: - don t know who will get the
Keane Wonder mine, but you can bet
your bottom dollar it won't be Mac
kenzie,' and the old fox seemed to
know what he was talking about.

RICKEY STOPS D. MACKENZIE
In KEANE WONDER PLOT

Dog eat dog" with Hickey and
Mackenzie as the two dogs and the
Keane Wonder mine as the bone.
That is the new turn taken in the
scramble for the little mine over in
Death valley, and which dog will win is
still a question; but the last point
scored is in favor of Hickey, for no one
hut the cunning Hickey could figure
out as long headed a scheme as that
which is now being unwound in San
Francisco, which is intended for the un-
doing of Michiavelian Mackenzie.
1t recently became known how Hickey
tried to foreclose a mortgage on the
Keane Wonder mine in the Inyo county
court, and that Mackenzie slipped in
and stopped him; whereupon they got
together and had a trust deed made
out to the two, Mackenzie for $133,0O
in round numbers and j. +. Peek, Rick
ey's attorney, for something over $40,
600.
From the day Mackenzie "butted
in' to prevent him from stealing the
mine, Hickey has been looking for Mac
kenzie's scalp, and his time seems to
have come.
Proceedings were brought in the San
francisco courts Saturday to prevent
the sale of the Keane Wonder mine,
which had been advertised for sale on
April Is at the instance of Mackenzie
and Peck. Earl X. Clemens of Rhyo-
those who are "wise" to what is going
Oh believe they see Rickey's fine hand
behind Clemens. The suit was brought
to enjoin the trustees sale, charging
fraud, and asking for IN accounting for
the benefit of the stockholders. A re-
straining order was issued, f%orbidding
der the foreclosure proceedings insti
tuted by Peck, and things are in statu
quo.
Why should Peck, one of the bene-
iciaries of the trust deed, now step in
and rave a stakeholder enjoin the sale!
When Hickey and Mackenzie had a
settlement some months ago, Mackenzie
was given $4,000 shares of stock of
the Keare Wonder mine held as secur
ity by the bank, and he ~relinquished a
claim for a large amount against the
bank due as a depositor. But Hickey
had a mortgage for $4,000 or more on
the mine, which Mackenzie, apparently,
did not know and he slipped over into
Inyo county and brought action to fore
close on his mortgage. By this pro
ceeding he would TAXI the mine, leaving
Mackenzie with the stock, which would
thereby be rendered worthless. Mac
kenzie stopped this. The deal was then
made whereby Mackenzie and Hickey
together got a trust deed, but in con
sidoration of this, Mackenzie surren-
dered his stock, 975,000 shares to
