NORTHERN LIGHT
SHIPPING ORE

The Northern Light lease. held by
d. W. Mckenzie and associates. has
commenced shipment the first wagon
loads, containing fourteen tons, roll
ing into town yesterday and being un
loaded at the Yerington depot. Judg
ing from the looks OF the ore it is just
as high grade as is claimed for it. The
big glory hole at the mine is looking
better than ever and showing a p
foot face OF ore, four feet of which
runs very high in copper. In very
over the 150-foot shaft. when stop
ing will begin At the same time sink
ing to the 350-foot level will be push
ed and cross-cuts run to the ore when
a production that will make the skep
tics all sit up and take notice will be
made
The former operators went through
ore at about 90 feet in depth in sink
ing the shaft 1t has been the good
fortune of the present operators to
pick up this ore and get the benefit
of the blunders OF the former oper-
ators A cross-cut run east on the
l50--foot level has disclosed some
very interesting ore which every cop
per man in the country will be glad
to see.
A new wagon road has just been
completed TO the glory hole, so ship
mcnts will be regular from now on.

Slayer of Woman Not Found.

Madeline Harris. girl of the un-
derworld. OF Austin is dead as a re
suit OF a gunshot wound she sustained
Sunday. The officers are making
every effort to fix the crime upon
some one. but thus far without sue
cess. 1t seems that the Harris wo-
man and another CIR returned from a
walk about noon and went to their
house There was only one other
known occupant at the time, Japan
ese cook Neither the Harris girls
companion nor the Japanese have
been placed under arrest The yer
diet at the inquest was that the wo-
man came to her death by a gunshot
wound inflicted by some one un-
known.

Accident at Combination.

Yesterday morning, Wednesday,
about 2:30 o'clock as three miners
were being hoisted from a point in
the Combination shaft about 100 feet
below the Sutro tunnel level the cable
parted about 100 feet above the cage,
but the safety clutches cut into the
guides and prevented the cage drop
ping The men reached the ladder
way, climbed to the Sutro tunnel level
and made their way to the Ward
where they were then hoisted to the
surface The cable had been exam
ined before work was resumed lately
in the shaft and been pronounced
safe. A new cable will be put on as
soon as it is possible to get one from
