LOST MINE IN DOU AS
WORTH LOOKING FOR
No Dream, as Real Specimens and
Description Can Be Furnished

While the prospectors are travelling
over the hills west and south of this
city the following regarding a lost
mine should be kept in mind, as
there is always a chance to pick up a
small pocket piece like lost pros
pect hole
In the early seventies Charley
Witherell, Sam Wright and other as
sociates held by location a copper
prospect in the mountains back OF
Genoa that furnished specimens that
were simply alive with the red metal.
Marvellous as it may seem there was
free gold scattered throughout the
quartz and mineral. Specimens Of
this remarkably rich deposit are yet
to be found in this city as others have
had a hunt for the property That
the location of this mine is NOT a
dream can be vouched for from the
fact that Charley Bray nauled a
blacksmith outfit to the ground as
well IS grub and mining supplies
Some OF the ore was taken out and
an attempt made to mill it in the
mills along the Carson River. Or

could be no extraction made and the
work was abandoned.
Charley Witheral, who was always
dabbling in mines, kept this particu
lar prospect in mind. He tried to
tell several friends just how to find it,
Before he died he made a crude map
and gave Hal Leml.ion something Of
description OF the property Lem
mon made a couple of quiet sncaks
over the hills i'll order to file on the
property, but could not fined the
spot, the dump or anything that look
ed like the place.
Lennon has given others what he
knows OF the property. Several
hunts have been made for the proper
ty but up to this time no one has
been able to run tito cover. 1t is
presumed that land slide has COW
cred the deposit and at the same time
wiped out the evidence OF the work
performed by Witherell and Sam
Wright. The section is frequented

climbing, but the goods are there for

just reason why the sheep men should
not be made to pay for the destruc-

MEN FIGHT TO DEATH
ON WHITE PINE RANGE
Basque Sheepherder Meets Death
After Awful Struggle

The Ely Expositor contains the
following description OF one OF the
most desperate hand to hand battles
waged between men in this state in
years. Meager descriptions were
published yesterday.
In desperate hand to hand strug-
gle resulting from quarrel as to
a division OF the sheep ranges on
Duck Creek controlled by McGill and
Adams 5. f. King. sheepherder,
shot and killed John Champolean. a
Spanish Basque. who is employed as
camp tender by the same people.
The shooting occurred about twelve
o'clock yesterday at the Clifford mea
dows on Duck creek, where King and
Champolean each had band OF sheep
that were ranging in the immediate
vicinity.
After making four Intellectual at
tcmpts to kill his adversary. King
fired at the campte nder for the fifth
time, the bullet ploughing through the
brain and tearing off the top OF
Champolcan's head
1t is not definitely known how ma
ny times King shot at his adversary.
The murdered man was struck by
FIVE bullets from Kings revolver
Champolean was hit in the right nip,
the bullet taking an upward course
through the body and coming out
below the ribs. A stray shot struck
the Basque shcephcrder in the right
leg below the knee but did no dam
age. The other two shots penetrat-
ed the left shoulder.
After the sheepherders had been
wrapgling for about hall an hour as
to what territory their herds were en-
titled to range on, Champolean in
formed King that it would be advis-
able for him to leave the premises as
soon as convenient He walked up
to where King was standing and
made an unsuccessful attempt to
wrench revolver from his hand, re-

The reason oi this action arose
from the fact that Spriugmeyer got
wind of job to throttle him in the
convention and smother him in the
party caucus He is too wise bird
to be caught that way and filings his
platform to the voters ahead OF the
convention and if they ~ant harmony
they can come in and flock with him.
He incurred the enmity OF the ma
chime when he ups-, the plan they
had SO carefully arranged to control
the railroad commission by electing
Massey and Hugh Brown.
Springmeyer bold defiance OF the
bosses and Oddie's stand in the same
direction changed the complexion of
the deal very materially but the ma
chine felt that they could carry the
programs through and stood pat until
they found that Massey had no
strength and at the last moment they
pitched him over and are trying to
convince Oddie that they nominated
him They fought Springmeyer to

This morning Miss Irene Brougher
and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Raycraft

AT the same time Frank Regan and
his wife and son left in Franks car

be gone a week or more and cover
as much distance and do as much joy
riding as possible in the time allowed.

Hon. Geo A. Cole to Head State Fair.

The Arkansas State Fair Asso- citation is to be congratulated upon it's wisdom in selecting Hon. Geo. A. Cole as it's president. With a man of his energy at the head of this institution there is not the slightest reason to doubt that the State Fair will rapidly develope in- to the greatest exposition of the South. For Mir. Cole is known as a man who does things. He has made a success If every position he has held up to the present. For seventeen years he has been en- gagged as an instructor in the State University: and 1t is largely due to his efforts that the agricultural feature of the university has been developed to such a magnitude and point of efficiency. He is the orig
 inator of the secondary school idea and the man who inspired, If he did not dictate the provisions of the law recently enacted creating four agricultural schools in Arkansas.
 Mir. Cole is much titled man,
