RuStIerS Fight
When Ordered
to Surrender

Deputy Sheriff A. c. Martinson, of
Manhattan. yesterday brought to this
city and placed in the county Jail on
the charge of cattle stealing, William
Fancher and w. A. McWilliams,
whom he had captured in the Reve-
lille valley after a running fight Of
several miles.
Some time ago a number of COM
plants were made to Sheriff Owens
about cattle rustling which had been
going on for some time in the Rev
ellie valley country. Sheriff Owens
dispatched Martinson to the scene on
the first day of March and that officer
kept on the trail of the suspected men
since that date. Before his arrival
cattle owners had observed parties
killing the cattle, but were never able
to capture them or make sure of
identification.
Mr.. Martinson camped on the trail
of the suspected parties and during
the three weeks of his stay never re-
Taxed his vigilance. On Wednesday
he rode up to where Fancher and
Williams were dressing a steer they
had just killed, and at his command
to surrender one of the men fired a
shot at him, after which both climbed
in their wagon and ~endeavored to
make their getaway. Martinson con
tinued to fire as the chase started,
and it was only after several of the
shots had struck the wagon bed that
the men stopped their team, dis
mounted and surrendered. A search
of both revealed guns, which the Of
ficer took under his charge, and then
the journey to this city was started.
The steer killed belonged to David
Allen of the Reveille valley country,
and the hide was also brought along
and will be used as evidence.
Faneher is a man about As years OF
age, and is a prospector. He claims

dueing good shipping ore. The
south erosscut near the east side of
the shaft has been abandoned and
the work will be confined to a cross
cut to the north in the same locality
which has been started in the hang
ing wall side.
540-foot level-The crosscut south
to the east side of the Stone Cabin
fault continues with no change in
the formation.
Mizpah, 2O0-foot level-A turn
has been made to the north in the
northwest drift on the Mizpah fault,
in order to continue on in ore as the
fault has slightly changed its
course. The drift west from the most
easterly crosscut is now developing
about three feet of very good ore
from a vein that lies parallel TO those
in the old workings. The rest OF
this level remains the same.
3OO-foot level-The crosscut ia
the south from the easterly end
shows no change. The crosscut south
to the west workings will be driver
to a point under the Burro No. /
vein that has been opened up on the
first and second levels.
400-foot level-The orosscut to
ward the Mizpah fault has made III
usual progress but has failed t.
reached the desired point, which will
probably be encountered during Thu
coming week.
On the 500-foot level of the Rec
Plume the work of following up th'
fault continues with no results a
yet.
The easterly workings of the co.
foot level show no change and ar
still In the dacite. The westerl
workings are proceeding toward tn
Red Plume shaft where they vii
connect when the shaft reaches tina
point.

foot level the work is confined to the
stope on the South vein. where the
character of the ledge shows no ma
terial change. This body of ore is
about four feet wide and of a good
milling grade.
1000-foot level-During the past
week the Occidental vein, which was
lost some time ago by a fault, was
picked up west Of the fault by the
south crosscut that was sent out to
find it. Drifting was then started on
the ledge which has exposed from
ten to twenty inches of good milling
ore. This ledge at this point shows
up much stronger than it did on the
levels above and is somewhat better
in quality. Raise No. l on the South
vein which was sent up on a stringer
of high grade ore, now has a ledge
opened up that averages between
twelve and eighteen inches in width
and carries the same excellent val
ues. This raise is now up eighty
seven feet and will probably con-
meet with the 900 level during the
coming week. The west drift on the
South vein has been discontinued for
the present and a footwall crosscut
to the south shows the vein matter
badly broken up. A scissors fault
was encountered while drifting on
the hanging wall of this vein which
switched the face to the footwall side
where the crosscut was sent out.
What is known as raise No. 3 has
been started on the vein that was
encountered in the 100 west drift.

five Men are
Working Abreast
On Big Ledge

ITO say the camp looks good would
be putting 1t in a mild FORM said
Dave Holland last night, who has
just returned from Pioneer. THE
district is looking better each day and
with the recent strikes there is no
doubt as to the extent of the lodges.
Frank A. Keith, consulting manager
of the Pioneer Leasing company. is
in t1wl and will spend several days
there looking after his interests.
ON the 21O-foot level of the big
lease five men are working abreast
on the ledge, which is fourteen feet
wide at that point, and every pound
Of ore broke is shipped without sort
ing. The capacity of the mine at
present is about one car every two
days, but when the machinery is in
stalled this capacity will be increased
to two cars a day. The owners have
ordered an air compressor and ma
chine drills, which are now on the
ground and will be installed in a very
short time. The company estimates
that they have over $1,000, 600 of ore
in sight and according to my idea
that is a conservative estimate.
THE machinery for Tex Richards
lease has arrived and has been con-
yeyed to his property. He is now
working in milling ore and as it has
been demonstrated in that district
that the lodges increase with depth,
there is no doubt but that he has an
excellent proposition.
Work has been started on the
building of a road to the Moffat-
Ryan-Herkelrath lease on the Bluff
claim of the Valley View estate. This
property has some excellent showings.
They uncovered a ledge 1t the grass
roots which is steadily growing rich
err as depth is reached.
"a miner from the Mayfiower had
a piece of ore taken from the new
strike On the 300-foot level, and was
displaying 1t around the town the
other day. The specimen was GER
tainly a beauty and averaged over 81
to the pound.
The townsite officials informed
me yesterday that the sale of lots
during the past week excelled that of
any preceding week. The buyers are
mostly eastern people who are send
ing in their orders by mail.
"The social event Of the season
takes place Saturday, when the Hotel
Holland will be thrown open to the
public. kilograms have been receiv-
ed from Salt Lake, Los Angeles,
Goldield and Tonopah asking that
reservations be made for rooms. The
railroads have made an excursion
rate for the occasion and the indica.
tions point towards one grand time.
Mr.. Holland win return to the new
camp Saturday morning to be present
at the celebrated occasion.

Fifteen Inches
High Grade Ore
In RdWhide Mine
NEW STRIKE IN GRUTT BALLOON
HILL PROPERTY PROVES
A WONDER.

Bert Gillespie OF Rawhide is in
town and reports the recent Strike
in the Grutt Balloon Hin mine to be
one of the most important yet made
in that camp.
Everybody in the town was talk
Ing of the find" said Mr.. Gillespie,
and nearly the entire population had
visited the mine to see the ore. A
number of prominent mining me-
have conservatively placed the value
OF the ledge at over $1,000 to the ton.
There is fifteen inches of the pay
streak that will carry this value.
I'm my opinion this find is only
one of many that will be made dur
ing the next few months for a large
number of leasers and companies are
workings their properties in a sys-
tematic name and all have excel
lent Indications. The ore shipments
continue as they have in the past and
every team in the town has been
pressed into service to convey the
high grade to the railroad point. The
mills are running full blast and the
clean-ups are o than satisfactory.
81 think that it is a safe prediction
when say that within the next six
months, Rawhide will be one of the
liyeliest mining camps in the state Of
Nevada"

MIDWAY.

The regular shipments from the
Midway to the Belmont mill at Mil
lers We're continued during the past
week. Throughout the mine no
change Of note has taken place. The
extensive development work on the
200, 300 and 4O0-foot levels IS still
under way with excellent indications
for the opening up of new bodies Of
ore. The work that is causing the
most interest is that done on the coo
foot level where a crosscut has been
started ont to prospect an entirely
new piece of ground. With the num-
o stringers cut recently 1t is al
most certain that a new ore body will
be opened up In the near future.
JIM BUTLER.
The regular line of work was con-
tinued during the week in the Jim
Butler. This is confined to stopping
on the several levels of the Stone
Cabin shaft. One hundred and sixty
tons of high grade were extracted
from the slopes during the week. and
sent to the Belmont mill at Mil
lers. II is expected that within the
near future tie development work
that has beell contemplated for some
time will be started in both the
Stone Cabin and WANDERING Roy
shafts.
