From the quantity of provisions
taken by the outlaws. it is believ-

Jerked beef was left in camp which,
from its condition. seemed to have
been cut some ten days ago. The re

TO Deed BACK MINERAL
LANDS To THE U. S.
GOVERNMENT

According to an associated press
report quoting the Denver Times.
Mrs. f. n. Harrimn, widow of the
late e. H. Hartman has instructed
her attorneys to effect a comprise
with a view to relinquishing the
claim of the Southern Pacific COM
pany ON 1000 acres Of mineral land
near Reno, deciding the same back
to the government and making
them available to mineral entry.
The details OF the report are
somewhat doubted by mining men
in this section. who are inclined to
believe that the compromise, II
effected, will be on the initiative
of the railroad management and not
vitality effected by the influence of
Mrs Hartman. ....-.......-....
1t is known that negotiations have
beon in progress for some time look
ing to the compromise of suits al
ready pending by the government
against the railroad and 1t was CIV
en- out some time ago that a COM
promise was almost certain.
The suits In question are said to
involve the Tallapoose property in
which Col. w. S. Proskey in inter-
ested near Mill City, and also the
Olinghouse claims for which J..
Aaron ingalls, has been fighting.
