Salt Lake Herald: Mining operations
in the Buckhorn and Cortez camps are
moving along at schedule speed, accord
ing to Thomas Parker. manager of the
Oortez Leasing Company. who was in
from Nevada looking after settlements
on q consignment Of ore from the famous
old Cortez mine. The lease is now pro-
ducing about two carloads of very good
ore a month. II all comes to the Salt
Lake market. moving via the Beowawe
80 mile haul in a five ton truck.
George Wingfeld and associates con
tinue to develop the Buckhorn mine.
1t is Is miles from Blackburn station on
the Eureka g. Palisade railway, and ten
miles northeast from Cortez. The
Buckborn district is less than half a
dozen years old. yet during the past
three or four years the new interests
have spent a lot of money opening this
particular property. 1t is estimated
that the Buckhorn now has not less
than So, 900. 900 of ore blocked out. This
ore will average around $l2 a ton. 1t
runs mainly in gold. 1t is a great de-
posit in the porphyry. This large tom
mage is from the $50 level up.
In addition to developing ore. the
company is running a 2OO0-foot working
tunnel to furnish a cheap outlet for the
ore. Already grading has begun for a
250 ton mill. 1t is thought this plant
will be well under way by Spring, and
that it will be operating next Summer.
The Buckhorn is operating a five ton
truck in conveying supplies, provisions
aud machinery from Blackburn to the
mine. and it is said to be giving very
good satisfaction.

Weakened by an internal hemorrhage
due to a shock suffered in n dream DUR
ing the night when he believed he had
been shot by a prominent citizen, Cleve'
land H. Baker. Attorney General of
Nevada, died at $50 o'clock this morn
ing at his home in Carson City. Mrs.
Baker, who was near him at the time.
hurriedly summoned a physician, but
the State officer was dying at that time
and expired shortly after the physician
arrived. News of the end reached Reno
early this morning and proved a deep
shock to his many friends here.
About midnight last night Mr.. Baker,
who had been sleeping, suddenly awoke
aud sat up in bed. To his wife he
stated he had a terrible dream in which
he thought he had been shot by a prom
inent citizen, mentioning the mans
name, A short time later he fell asleep
again.
This morning he awoke about 9 O'Clock.
aud was sitting on the edge of his bed
lacing his shoes when another
rhage occurred and he was dead within
a short time.
The physician who was called, when
he learned of the events OF the night,
stated that an Internal hemorrhage had
occurred at the time Mr.. Baker mad bis
shocking dream, and that this hemorr-
hage was the direct cause of death.
Mrs. Baker, when she noted her hus-
bands condition, feared to alarm him
by calling for the physician over their
own telephone and hurried to the gen.
eral office of the company a short dis
lance away to summon aid.
The news of Mr.. Bakers death cre-
sted a profound shock in Carson City,
where he was a we'll known figure to
every one. All the flags in the town

will be closed ON the day of the funeral.
