DEXTER=WAR EAGLE SUIT
PROBABLY SOON SETTLED

Zadig is one of the heaviest owners in
the Stray Dog, Indian Camp and Jump
ing Jack properties, under lease to the
War Eagle company, and it is under
stood that he and his associates have
been working toward a settlement of
the differences for some time past. 1t
is also understood that A. G. Raycraft,
president of the Dexter company, and
other officials of the company are due
in Manhattan soon, to confer with the
Wan Eagle officials.
The Union No. 8, the property in con-
fict, is generally considered to be one
of the richest mines in the state. and
a settlement of the litigation will
mean one of the best things for Man
haitian that has happened in many

the C. & C. cannot proceed rapidly and
this long projected enterprise be carried
out within a few weeks. Its import
ance is amply realized by all who are
following developments closely In the
deep level plans of Ophir, Con. Virginia
and Mexican ad the recent decision to
press downward at once to the 250O
level of the latter mine. Pumps in the
Ophir and Mexican wines are taking
care of the natural seepage water, but
as greater depth is reached the larger
drainage facilities through the G. & G.
shaft are imperative.
The next step then at the northend,
now that the new pamps are in com
mission, will be the removal of the
old Cornish pumping machinery from
the pump compartment of the c. & c.
shaft, lower the two big elevators and
clear the shaft of water to the bottom.
The task from now on is pronounced
by engineers to be a simple one and

VIRGINIA CITY, April S.-The new
transformer for the auxiliary pumping
plant al the G. & G. shaft arrived a
few days ago from the east, and has
been put in place on the 1850 pump
station. 1t has been found to work
perfectly and for the past two days has
been given a through testing out. No
flaws have appeared at this third trial
of the power and it is expected that the
new pumps on the $3.50 and 2450 levels
will be doing regular service within a
day or two. Today, the centrifugal
pump on the 1850 has been hung up
for several hours at intervals to make

j. J.. Sullivan and associates have TAX

Rosebud, Nevada, by the California Oil
Development company were received at
the Original Package saloon in this

one of the infallible indications of the
presence of natural oil.
Conserving the work on the g. o. ID.

daily, J. A. Dickey, one of the com
pany, was recently interviewed in
Winnemucca. He says the well is down
oae hundred feet, and everybody in
camp is watching the boring of the
new well with great interest, for il is
believed that oil in paying quantities
will be developed by this bore. A
feature in the boring of this well is
that G. H.. Rowlev, G.. r. Ferrel snl

ployed by the Western Pacific III boring

was made, are boring the well ON the

says that a number of people are com.

MUCH ACTIVITY in
RYE PATCH DISTRICT

LOvELOCK, April 12.--Pete Me-
Arthur, the mining man who recently
returned from the famous old Rye
Patch district, brings very fattering re-
ports from that section. He says that
several important strikes have been
made during the past few weeks and
that every indication now points to a
very active campaign being inauguratea
curing the coming summer months.
In the old Rye Patch mine, Mr.. Me-
Arthur stated, one of the biggest
strikes ever made in that section was
recently uncovered. AT the 230-foot
level a ledge has been penetrated for
a distance of fully thirty feet and as
yet no hanging wall has been founl.
Throughout this monster vein the
values will average a fair milling
grade. In going through the ledge a
body of ore fully five feet wide and
carrying high grade lead and silver
values was cut.
On the Adamson cinnabar property
in Ell Dorado canyon, Il vast amount of
development is being done. Fully
1000 feet of work has been accom-
plished and the results are most crafty
ing. An examination of the ore bodies
was recently completed and the samp.
ling showed there was approximately
R200 600 in values now blocked out.
Some of the ore runs as high as 90 per
cent in mercury. This company is now
negotiating for the installation Of a re-
d~uetion plant.

MANY WANTING TO Be
COMMISSIONER
IN NYE co.

Six aspirants for the office of county
commissioner, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of w. G. Humphrey, are
already out in an endeavor to pull the
political strings and land the job. There
were six up to this morning, but it is
probable that with the setting Of the
sun today this number will have been
doubled.
Naturally the majority are Democrats,
there being but one Republican, and
some beautiful fireworks should be OBJ
served during the next fortnight when
the friends of the different office seek
ers don their armour and mingle in the
fray. No fears are entertained that
bloodshed will result, as the large forces
of deputies now in evidence will prob
ably be retained until the vacant posi-
ton is filed by Governor Dickerson.
The six candidates ure as follows, and
as near as we car judge came out for
the office in the position named: james
j. McQuillan, of Tonopah; Charles
Humphrey, of Manhattan; Tom Grifen,
of Tonopah; Dan j. Robb, of T%onopah;
