We heard the other day Of new dis
covery in the Ruby range north oil the
Buckeye and Champion mines. G.
Shotter was the ~discoverer. The claim
has been recorded as the Burning
Moscow.
George Cowles, resident agent for
Pritchard's fast freight line. shipped for
the Eureka Consolidated last Saturday
10000 pounds Of bullion by one team.
Considering the bad condition Of the
road we call this a rather big haul.
The Eureka Consolidated Company a
few days ago shipped to San Francisco
10000 pounds Of the fine ore recently
developed in the lower workings Of the
mine. This little batch is sent down
especially to convince the incredulous
of San Francisco that we really have ore
up this way.
The stage which arrived from Palisade

the heavy freight teams cutting a deep
rut in the road which the driver did not
notice.
The travel from the railroad to Eureka
is increasing rapidly. The stage yester-
day brought up IL passengers from
Palisade, and several more who could
not be accommodated with transporta-

Stage Robbers Captured
Deputy Sheriff John Nicholson of
White Pine, and Mr.. Woods. who holds
a similar position in Elko County, passed
through Eureka yesterday with the con-
vict stage robbers, who robbed the Eu-
reka and Palisade stage neal the Hay
Ranch, and were lately captured
near Schellburn. On the arrival of the
stage in Eureka there was a grand rush
made to get q glimpse at the prisoners.
The officers evidently thought that the
immense throng had designs OF some
kind on their prisoners, and shotguns
were accordingly presented in a threaten.
ing manner On discovering, however,
that the crowd. numbering perhaps 1000
people, were prompted so'ely by idle
curiosity their equanimity was speedily
restored, and several persons were al
lowed to approach the stage and converse
with the prisoners and other passengers.
Mrs. Cromer, who was on board the
stage at the time Of the robbery near
the Hay Ranch, was escorted to the
stage to take a look at the agents. She
did not recognize any OF them. Big Alec
Fleming. who was at one time guard at
the State Prison, also talked with the

ure, presented them a box OF cigars.
Captain Cromer identified one of his
watches in the possession of Deputy
Sheriff Nicholson, who found 1t on one
OF the robbers. 1t will, of course, be
returned to him in due season. Con.
corning the capture we learned some adj
ditional particulars which may be of in
terest to our readers. 1t was near night
fall when Nicholson recognized the party
on the Schell Greek road. He passed on,
however, without manifesting the least
concern in their movements. Near by
there was a man working on the road.
To him Nicholson made known his sus-
picions and directed him to busy him
self up and down the road so as to watch
the Of the robbers. This man
saw them enter the canyon. and as they
did not emerge, he rightly concluded
that they had halted for the night.
