HOLD-UPS AND MAN. CHASES
EXCITE YOSEMITE VALLEY

Yosemite, Cal, July 2.-They've
been having hold-ups and man-chases in
the Yosemite Valley, and the innocent
tourist has been scared out of his boots
by the sight of heavily armed posses
running desperadoes to earth, riddling
outlaws with blank cartridges and max.

fusillade after fusillade. It's been
very exciting and very mystifying for
the authorities have taken apparently
no notice of the extraordinary actions
of these desperate looking men.
There is a rule in the Yosemite Ma
tional Park that no guns shall be al
lowed in the valley, but these mounted
men have been galloping up and down
the roads and scaling the precipices
with as ugly an arsenal as the Yosemite
has ever seen for 10 these many moons.
They have disconnected stage drivers
and stage horses, too, by giving reals
tic limitations of road agents separating
helpless passengers from their valu-
ables.
Staid tourists in the valley have been
deeply shocked by the sudden appear
ance of a disheveled witch, scrambiing

added to the peace of mind of gentle
camping parties to see a wild man of
the woods, unkempt, ragged and streak

them with a shrieking crowd of pur

There are many motley costumes in

kahki, sombrero and puttee, but it has
remained for one of this party of num-

crowd on the Hotel Seminal porch by
riding by, gravely astride of a tiny
burro, his mouth concealed by a ponder
Gus gray mustache and his wig crowned
with a rusty plug hat of the vintage

He looked like a page from Bret
Harte, and, forsooth, the guess was cor
rect. for he, with his fellow actors,
was on his way to a secluded spot to
act out before a moving picture ma

of that coterie of odd characters who
made history sixty years ago in that
famous settlement, Roaring Camp.

OLD SPRUCEMONT CAMP
TAKES ON NEW LIFE

A. E. Black of Sprucemont, is spend
ing the week in Ely and reports the
camp as having recently taken on a
new lease of life. Creighton, Rountree
and Knight are doing a considerable
amount of work on their properties,
while c. NJ. Spence will soon commence
work on his Black Forest group. In
regard to the strike recently made by
Mr.. Spence, as reported in the Record
last week, Mr.. Black claims that the
statements as given were entirely too
modest, says the Ely Record.
The Spruce Mountain Copper com
paly is working twenty men at the
present time, and will increase the
force materially during the summer
One of the most important events
in the history of the camp is the build
ing of a good wagon road to the West
ern Pacific track, which will shorten
the wagon haul on ores and supplies,
and also establish a new and lower
freight rate on ores shipped to the
smelters at Salt Lake.
The camp as a whole is more pros
porous than it has been in several
years.

eos discovered. 1t was found about

mi DFIELD MINING MEN
ARE SHOWN BIG NUGGET

The nugget was found last week on
the lease owned by J. b. Giffen, speaker
of the late Nevada legislature, and his
two sons, l.. c. and G.. j. Giffen. A min
er named Peters was washing some
gravel when he noticed what he thought
was a particularly obstinate piece OF
rock. Standing neal him was Mr.. Gift
fen, who also noticed the large sized
pebble. II was noticed hat the rock
seemed rather heavy for a pebble, and
Peters remarked to Giffen: "Do you
suppose. Mr.. Gifen, that this could be =
nugget"
II was raised from the machine into
the sunlight, after being washed, and
the rays of the sun made it glisten in
yellow colors like a bar of bullion. Hav-
ing beer raised in a placer camp, Mr..
Giffen knew at once that the supposed
rock was the biggest nugget he ever
had seen and one of the largest ever
found in the United States. Mr.. Gifen
at once carried the nugget to camp and
the sight of it caused the widest excite
ment ever known in Manhattan.
Mr.. Giffen has refused an offer OF
$3.50 for the nugget, and it is probable
tina it will be placed on exhibition il
Tonopah, Goldfeld and other places.
The Giffen lease is being worked Wig
orously with the aid Of a d~ry-washing
machine. and an average of an ounce OF
gold has been taken from the property
for every yard.

CUMBERLAND AND NEVADA
CON. MAKE HEAVY OUTPUT

in all departments, the output will 60
close to 100000 pounds and possibly
top that figure. Five million pounds,
however, will be very satisfactory ani
establish the high record for the plants
to date, meaning a gain from less than
half a million pounds output in June a
year ago, whec the plants were just
blowing in.
Increase in Power Plant.
As to output, it needs be said that
the plant as at present equipped is
liable to delays which will not rave to
be contended with later ON when the
equipment which plans call for is all
in place. Present equipment is being
worked to top capacity and there is no
margin left for the little breaks AMI
delays which must occur. These now
necessitate q stop somewhere and
throw calculations on of gear. In the
power house there will be important
remedy of a part of this trouble be-
fore long, another blowing engine hav-
ing been ordered. Extension of the
present big building about 40 feet
back from the blank wall left for that
purpose will be commenced shortly to
accommodate the additional equip
ment. The new engine will just dou-
BILE the plant to keep the blowers 60

worth, while additions to equipment
are being made as rapidly as possible.

Sk~SAeA
Lucky Boy, New, July 2.-Event'
are moving fast on the Silver Moor
lease of the Mountain Queen. Hare
upon the heels of the discovery of th'
Bonanza Mountain King vein on the
ground of the Queen comes the new
that Governor ".Joe' Hutchinson and
|"Kid" Highley of Goldfeld had failed
to take up their option on the Silver
Moon.
Claude +. lie Grande, who is in
charge of his fathers interests here
during the latter's absence, today put
three shifts to work in the Silver
Moon, and stated to the News cor
respondent that Capt. LIE Grande would
start extensive development work and
was prepared to push the opening up
of the ore bodies that are known to
exist in the Queen ground.
The Silver Moon adjnins the famous
bonanza Hubbard lease on the Noun
tain King on the west and is consii-
cred one of the most promising leases
in this camp at present. II is now
down over 200 feet with but very little
prosecuting, and north and south cross
cuts as well as another 100 feet of sink.
ing will undoubtedly make a shipper,
and a big one, of the Silver Moon.
Mccormack Shipping.
The Mccormack lease is still keeping
up the record it started to make sew
eral weeks ago when it "struck the
pay streak Regular shipments from
the lease are now the rule and the ore
keeps well over the 5000 mark. The
hoist engine house and shops are all
finished and the lease presents one of
the busiest scenes in the camp.
Condor and McAfee, the lucky OWN
ers of the McAfee lease on the Thund-
ershower, west of the Mountain Queen,
are walking literally on air these days
and dreaming of bubble wagons and
private cars. And they certainly are
justified in their hopes. The McAfee
is one of the lucky holes of the dis
trict, for it is undoubtedly sinking
right down on an ore shoot similar to
that which produced the bonanza ship
ments. on the Hubbard. And this is
