RUMORED GOLD FIND SETS
ALL RENO On OUI VIVE
Special Trains Carrying Prospectors to
Fort Sage Mountain---Report Makes
Find Greatest in Country's History.

the report will cause the greatest
rush in the history of the county. If
the ore has been found not in place
that is, as f1oat-the significance
will not be so great.
Those familiar with this country
declare that it is very highly miner
allied as reported. Ledges have
been found near this place before
assaying $12 or more ton, and it
is extremely probable that a rich
strike might be made on the widen
ing or enrichment of the many ore
bodies known to exist there.
The new strike recalls the sensa-
tion created by the lost ledge strike
last fall. This was reported near
the south end of the Jackson noun
tains, a good many miles from this
location, but still possibly along the
same general line of veins. A rich
discovery of float was reported and
the ore shown, assaying high in gold,
but the person who found the ore
was never able to retrace his steps
and point out the spot, nor were
those who searched the country able
to find it.
There is no doubt about this
strike, however, or about its loca-
tion. The development of the next
two or three days will determine
whether another gold rush is to star
tie the state.

RENO, March 21.-Fabulous stor-
les of the gold strike at Fort Sage
mountain are being brought into this
city almost hourly from the group
of Renoites who, Sunday chartered
q special train and made post-haste
for the scene of the rumored find.
This party, upon it's return, will un-
doubtedly be in possession of reliable
evidence as to the condition of the
mountain strike. Among the party
are: Councilman G. J. Sadler, c. B.
Holleran, John Salsberry, DR.. Starr,
William Wallace, N. R. Fitzpatrick
of Fallon and R. Davis of San Fran
cisco.
Councilman Sadler has already re-
ported to this city by telephone. He
stated that over nine pounds of ore,
valued in the neighborhood of $4,000,
had been discovered.
A report substantially the same
was received by Manager Dunaway
of the N. G. o., and considerable ex-
citement prevails in Reno over the
statements.
1t is believed that the rock found
assayed $4,000 ton, for mathema-
ticians have figures that that over
twice the weight of pure gold would
be required to make it worth $4,000.
However, $4,000 ore in place is re-
markable and if any reasonably large
quantity is indicated in the ledge

we knew that not one of them had

On the streets today there has been
much speculation as to the amount
DIR. Coe received when the litigation
was dropped. One rumor has it that
he was given a consideration of $780,
600, but w. ]. Furnish declares this
incorrect. According to Mr.. Furnish,
DR.. Coe was given some land under
the project but declined to make pub
lie the amount of the same or to
place an estimate upon it's value.
History of Case.
The Furnish-Coe controversy which
began last fall by a disagreement be-
tween Furnish and Coe, who was I'M
der contract to sell certain of the
Furnish lands near Stanfield at a GER
tain commission. Matters were
brought to a crisis when Coe filed two
law cases in Portland for damages ag-
gregating almost a million and a
quarter dollars and in which he made
sensational charges against Furnish
and his attorneys. AS a counter to
these suits the Furnish interests on
January 10 instituted a suit in the
local equity court asking for an &C.
counting between Coe and the Inland
! Irrigation company, that the contract
between them be cancelled and that
Coe and the Columbia Land company
turn yer all notes, contracts anc
other instruments relating to the sale
Of the Furnish lands in their possvr
sion. On Februarl II, Coe made
answer to the charges in this com
plant and on the same date a motion
for the appointment of a receiver Il
take charge of the notes, contract
and instruments was argued befor
Judge Phelps, which resulted in tn
appointment Of f. j. Sommervllie {
that position.
The settlement of the controvers
has caused a general rejoicing i

ency to stop development work /

have a still greater depressing effec
had it have been threshed out in In
courts.
