THE MT. GRANT DISTRICT.
4 Bunch of Live News Notes From Sec.
ton Where Development Gives
Encouraging Results.

ating at Wheeler Pass, three miles above
Chipmunk Springs, have done a great
deal of work and have something like
100 tons of ore on the dump, which
should average better than $50 per ton.
These men are awaiting the starting of
custom mill in the district, which will
enable them to treat this ore at profit.
1t is plainly evident that while $50 free
milling ore will pay handsomely if
milled on the ground, it will not stand a
wagon haul of IS miles to the railroad,
in addition to smelter and railroad
freight charges.
Mr.. Cheney has tunnel in about
12O feet and has opened up fine looking
ore, but has, as yet, received no assays
on same.
Popham, Erickson and Clayton have
done col siderable work on various
claims and have opened up good ore in
several places.
o. L. Knapp is working at Willow
Springs, just above Chipmunk Springs.
He has not done much as yet but has
some nice ore.
A report has reached here that a new
strike has been made in the Keystone.
This occurred in drift from the lower
tunnel and the ore body is feet wide.
No assays had been made at the time
the report was received, but the ore
looks good.
Dan Abrams, Dan Edwards and R. A.
O'Neal, all of Reno, returned Saturday
from the Mt. Grant district, in which
they are interested, and they expressed
themselves as being we'll pleased with
the progress of events there.

Chas. Hobbs came in from Chipmunk
Springs Wednesday and he brings the
same good reports that have been COM
ing i'll from the Mt. Grant district for the
past few weeks. While the district,
like every camp and town in the State,
is suffering from scarcity of money,
yet there is considerable work going on
in the mines and prospects, and if the
present showings hold out with depth
and development the Mt. Grant district
will be a busy section in the days to
come.
Mr.. Hobbs brought in with him three
tons of ore from the workings on his
Monckton claim The ore is high grade
and is expected to give returns of from
$50 to $500 per ton. 1t was consigned
to the Western Ore Purchasing company
at Hazen, and was sent out as a test to
see what net returns can be secured by
shipping. On the Monckton claim Mr..
Hobbs has a shaft down AZ feet. The
vein at this point is 3 feet wide and the
streak of high grade is about IL inches
III width. The balance of the vein will

Mr.. Hobbs reports a number of other
properties which have excellent show
irgs. Mitchell a d Shaw, who are
leasing on the Davidson-L Lock wood prop
eIty at Round Mountain (Mt. Grant
district, have a shaft down II feet and
nave saved about II tons of ore that is
expected to go better than 81 so per ton.
The vein and high, grade streak are
about the same size as that on the

ANOTHER SAD ACCIDENT
Lovable Little Child Meets
Death in Ditch.

Francis Bernhard Rodgers was born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Rodgers, (Alvina
Revmers) at Olinghouse, New, Decen-
ber 28th, 1906-their only child. He
met death by drowning at the home of
his grandfather, Senator B. H Reymers,
Yerington, Tuesday morning, May 31st,
! 1910.
The tale of the tragedy is tale of
dailv life, pathetically short, simple
and natural. Mr.. Reymers had gotten
brood of ducklings Monday evening
he told ''Nibs' he would give him a
pair if he would learn to say his little
prayers nicely Accordingly, Tuesday
morning, 'Nibs" followed his grand
father out to see the ducks, back of the
barn. Mr.. Reymers gave him one,
which he proudly carried to the house
to display to his mamma. She advised
him to take it back to its mother This
was the last seen of him alive. There
is shallow slough few yards from the
barn in which some ducks were swim.

minutes after he started back with the
duck, his cousins. going to school. in

answer coming. the search began. Com

or four feet from the bank She waded
over (the water was scarcely foot and
a-half deep and found the body. There
were no signs of struggle in face or
about the body. Senator Reymers took
the usual vigorous measures, and by the
time DIR. Leavitt arrived, five minutes
later, the water was all out OF the child
but the heart was still when he was
found, and could not be urged to act
though the doctor used every means OF
resuscitation for two hours. Life was
extinct.
The little chap with his golden curls,
chubby face and sturdy build was a pic
ture to gladden. heart and eye He
looked like little Lord Fauntleroy and
was a great pet, not only with his rela-
tives, but with the railroad men at Wa
buska, where his father is yard-master
His mother, in Yerington, for Dec
oration Day, intended to return that
evening, but was persuaded to remain
over because of the extreme heat. Her
condition of collapse is serious.
Funeral services were conductedThurs-
day afternoon from the Reymers home,
by Rev DIR. Beatty. Showers of cut
flowers and floral pieces graced the
white casket. Safe in the Arms of
Jesus" and Reckoning Hands, were
sung.
In addition to the family here, Mrs
Rodgers Sr. and Lewis Rogers came in
from Floristou and Mr. and Mrs Jones
and Mrs Smith (Senator Reymers
daughters) were here from Carson The
pail bearers were: Andy West, Elmer

Never Talked to the Boys.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-Chicago is
to have an unusual debutante next
month. Miss Marguerite Sherlock,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James P.
Sherlock. who in her tweny years OF
life has never been permitted to go
to a party, never has had any young
man caller and has never ventured
from her home unless under the eyes
of a careful chaperon, according to
her mother, is to be presented to So
ciety in a coming out" party at q
Michigan avenue hotel on November
10.
A dinner will be given and will be
followed by theater party. After
that Miss Sherlock will be free to fol-
low her own inclination in accepting
or refusing invitations.
"All of Marguerite's studies have
been under women instructors said
Mrs. Sherlock this afternoon. "They
have taught her Latin, French and
Italian. I assure you that it has been
most difficult task to bring a girl
through twenty years Of life as Mar
guerite has been brought. She is bub-
bling over with spirits and has often
wept bitterly at not being allowed to
enjoy the privileges according to 9TH
er girls.
"My idea is that the girls OF this
age are permitted to become blase be-
fore they reach the years in which
they should properly enjoy the pleas
ures of society. However, this is not
true in Marguerite's case. She was
even attended at boarding school by
a chaperon."

Taking Steps to Form New County

j OVSPS " " AAA ~'>''
Batesburg, Oct. 14.-The new
county movement in this section OF
the State has taken definite form, a
mass meeting having been called to
meet at Summerland springs, to con-
slider the necessity for new county,
formed out of the corners Of Lexing-
ton, Aiken and Saluda. The meeting
was presided over by Mr.. j. R. Bouk-
night, the merchant prince of Lees
vile, and the situation was fully dis
cussed and by a unanimous vote a
committee of five was appointed to
take up the matter in regular form
and push it to successful conclusion.
There is every reason to hope for the
formation of the new county. There
is no court house between Columbia
and Augusta on the main line of the
Southern railway, and to get to those
that exist is through much difficulty.

SAW HIMSELF ON FILMS.
Therefore Hotel Clerk Repented Of
$500 Theft.

Charles G.. Mayer, II years old,
former night clerk in the Hotel Vic
toria, entered police headquarters in
Pittsburg last week and told the chief
he had stolen $500 from the hotel
and wanted to be sent back to New
York to stand trial, says the New
York Sun. The sceptical chief wired
the Victoria and found that the story
was true. Mayer and $500 had dis
appeared on August last.
II saw the $500 put into an en-
velope by guest" said Mayer in Jef-
ferson market court yesterday. II
had no reason for stealing the money,
and if had wanted to clear out with

I thought how bad my mother would

The complainant against Mayer
was Angus Gordon of the hotel. He

excellent references. Magistrate Cor

Man Finds New House Built on His
Property.

Thomas Brush, of Cheyene, Wyo.
thinks he is lucky man. Suppose
you had city lot and insufficient
funds to complete a house you had
started to build on it, and some
stranger came along and completed it
in your absence, wouldn't you be
happy? Well, that is what happened
to Brush.
Recently he bought a lot in Park
addition and started to build house
on it, but finding that his funds were
insufficient to complete the house
and having a good position offered
him in the country, he left his house
and went to work. After several
days he RETURNED, and when he went
out to continue operations on his
house he found that the work was
nearly completed. At first Brush be-
gan to doubt that he owned the lot
but after looking up his deed and con-
ferring with an attorney, he found
that the lot was still his, and there
fore the house.
He notified the new occupant of his
land to discontinue work, and said
that he would put on the finishing
touches himself. Perhaps he was
afraid his magnanimous friend might
not put on the right color Of paint
Just what induced the stranger tt
build on Brush's lot is not known.
