WINNEMUCCA, Aug. 2-Late Satur-
day afternoon President Pelton of the
arrived in town with 10 bars of bull
lion. weighing $50 pounds, valued at
$4,000. The treasure was deposited in
the local Wells-Fargo office and shipped
to- the San Francisco mint.
Three days later boulder of the
high grade was encountered in the
Stall Lease that must have weighed
numerous chunks the larger piece
brought to the surface weighed 122
pounds, all of the highest grade of ore.
of bullion has been brought to Winnie
mucca for shipment, and at the mill
large quantities of the high grade have
accumulated ahead of the two small
mills. The low grade ($125 per tom
ore will be treated by the new mill,
which will be started the first of the
week, and will materially increase the
bullion shipments.
The large boulder above referred to
was taken from the bottom of the Stall
shaft about 450 feet below the surface,
showing cOnclusively that the ore body
increases In size and value as depth is
attained. About 140 men are at work
on this property.
This months production, including
the milling ores and the high grades
ahead of the mills, will no doubt ap-

HOrnsi1ver Ore
A report was recently brought into
Goldfield that ore running $1,000 ton
had been struck in the shaft of the
Helen claim at Hornsilver which re-
Gently has gained considerable promin-
ence on account of its splendid show
ing in it's early stages of development.
The property is owned by Mitchell,
Shannon and Carrion, and while the
shaft is only about 35 feet deep. quite
duced Assays have heretofore shown
as high as $525 ton, but development
of the last few days seems to have
about doubled the values which are

their value and beauty. They will be

Kennedy July Output
The output of the Kennedy, the
mammoth mine of Amador county, con-
tinues on the same liberal scale that
has marked the history of this deep
mine for several years past. The clean
up of the past month was shipped this
week, and consisted of three big bars

course we can only roughly estimate,
but the aggregate would probably not

of $3.50 for 100 stamps: this would
leave a. handsome sum to be paid

penses.-Amador Ledger.
A Rich Pocket
Frank McMaster. Dan Buckley and
Y. Leperron recently took out a pocket
at the Evans mine, on the Grant, about
a mile and half above Bagby, that
produced $4,000.-Mariposa Gazette.
TrujiIIo Mine
Owing to lack of water to operate
the mill, several miners have been laid
off at the Trujillo mine on Big Grizzly
Flat. This cessation of work with a
full force of miners is only temporary,
however, and was made necessary on
account of there being no place to store
the ore. The mine never had a more
promising look and with the return of
water operations will be pushed with a
full force Of men again.-Mariposa Ga

Black Diamond Quartz Mine

Eastern capital represented by w. E.
Oddie president of the Crescent Hill
gold mines company which Is operating
in the Claremont district south of
Quincy, took bond on what Is known
as the Black Diamond quartz mine stu
creeks in southern Plunlas about year
ago, and have since been doing active
DEVELOPMENT work on the same. The
property is owned by Joe Math, and
one payment on the option price has
been made by the bonding party Two
tunnels have been run on the claim,
one 80 feet long and the other $50 feet.
The ledge was tapped I'M the first men
toned tunnel at a point near the sur
ever the vein has not vet been reached.
although it is expected that 1t will be
cut into shortly at a depth of about 200
feet on the ledge.
The Black Diamond quartz mine was
worked many years ago by two Span
iards, and although the vein was only
about eight inches wide, 1t is claimed
that over $4,000 in gold was taken
out by them by means of a shaft so
much free gold can be seen with the
naked eye in the quartz now exposed
to view
The claim is situated on the road be-
tween Cibsonvi1le and townsville, in a
section which has produced large guam
titles of the yellow metal and which
contains many very meritorious pros
poets in the line of gold quartz veins.
Owing to the fact that the Black
Diamond claim Is 1000 feet above sea
level, its development has been retarded
to Some extent by heavy SHOWS and the
sflortnesS of the summer season at that
altitude-Plumas National Bulletin.

Rich Mineral Hill Ore

Otto woehler, known as the copper
king of Spenceville." was in Nevada
City today from his home. He brought
with him some of the finest specimens
of copper ore ever taken from beneath
from the Mineral Hill copper mine he
is operating and which he says will
eventually be one of the biggest min
ing ventures in the history of the
county. Some of the specimens carry
as high as 40 per cent of copper, and
from $40 to SIS in gold. This is be-
mined in Nevada county.

DAVENPORT POLICE
RAID A HOP JOINT
Find Quantity of Jewelry Believed to
Have Been Stolen in the
Tri-Cities.

Last evening the police raided an
opium den in the city of Davenport
conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey
Watkins (coIored) at 634 East Tenth
street. At the time Mr.. and Mrs.
Watkins were the only occupants of
the place ana they were arrested.
The place has been the headquar-
tiers for some time past of number
of the colored population of the tri-
cities. In searching the house last
night the police discovered large
quantity of jewelry which apparently
had been stolen. The stones had
been taken from the rings and the
jewelry was broken up somewhat in
order to make it unrecognizable.
Watkins and his wife were taken to
the station and were given a hearing.
Each was given 80 days in the coun-
ty jail for conducting a disorderly
house. While they are lying in the
bastile, further investigation of the
jewelry will be made in an effort to
locate the rightful owners. The po-
lice are certain that a number of
mysterious robberies will be cleared
up if they are able to locate the
owners of the outlay of jewelry.

BLIND HORSE TRIES

Animal at AndaIusia Sets Out for
Iowa and Causes Villagers
Lots of Excitement.

Andalusia had a half hour of ex-
element yesterday when blind
horse, the property of J. G.. Britton,
got into the Mississippi and was res
cued with difficulty, half the popula-
ton taking a hand in the work. The
horse had been turned out to Craze
along the river bank, and for some
reason best known to itself, deliber-
ately walked out into the stream. 1t
headed toward the island and was
half way across when a party of men
in a launch overhauled it. However,
it was about tired out and before
line was gotten about its neck, it
sank twice. The speed of the launch
was too great to successfully tow the
animal to shore and so the work was
finally undertaken from a skiff, the
horse ceasing its efforts and rolling
over on its side. When landed it
was able to walk and in a few min
utes seemed none the worse for the
experience

BLAZE In A HOME
Damage of SO in the Residence of

The fire department was called at
1925 last night to the home of Edward
Young, 1902 Third avenue, where there
was a blaze in a bedroom on the Sec
ond floor. Upon the arrival of the de-

destroyed and the loss is SIS, with no
insurance A roomer at the house on
returning home found that there was
no oil in the lamp in his room. He
went down stairs to fill the lamp and

told the family that the house was on
fire. It is supposed a lighted match
was dropped on the floor and ignited
