Herb Towers Sued.

Suit has been filed in the District
Court at Goldfeld by G.. c. Webb
against Herbert Towers, asking dam
ages in the sum of $56, 900. The
com plant charges that the defend
ant executed a bond and lease to the
plaintiff, providing for the sale of
three mining claims at the camp of
Douglas, in the gold range mining
district, and that the plaintiff was
prevented from assuming possession
by NJ. E. Young, who claims to have
located one of the claims. Both
parties to the suit are now in Coll
field.
The GROUND involved is that upon
which exceedingly rich ore was found
last summer, attracting attention to
the camp of Douglas, situated about
six miles from Nina.

A Rush to ellis.

The publication in last weeks Bul-
letin of the assays which were re-
ceived by Messrs. Nixon, Attn and
Wood, who are working mine in
Gillls Canyon, had the effect of our
prospectois ''sit up and take notice. y
But on Thursday, when Mr.. Nixon
exhibited another assay, which gave
a total of S741 Sc number of foot
loose prospectors and possible in
vestors, started for the scene of oper-
ations.
Mr. Nixous assay, made by G. B.
Stannard, showed these values:
Silver, 563.3 ounces; gold 2O.75
ounces; Total value, S741.96.
Prospectors from Thorne; Raw
hide and Schurz are in the hills ada
cent to the new strike, and it is likely
that the country will be given a
thorough examination by the keen
sighted mountaineers.

told in a letter received in England
by ]. G. LAWN, New York engi-
neer Mr. LAWN threw the bottle

Miller and Lux Lose Suit.

After a nine-year battle in the
courts, Thomas Ross Cooley, a poor
furniture dealer of Grass Valley, has
been awarded a slice of the famous
Miller and Lux estate that will ap-
proximate 5000, 900.
Under decision rendered by
Judge Frank j. Murasky in the Su-
perior Court at San Francisco three
four-hundredths of this estate, COM
prising more than million acres of
California land valued at $40, 900, 900
will go TO Cooley in payment of at
torney's fees owed by the German
heirs of the late Charles Lux to
James H. Campbell, a prominent
San Jose attorney, who assigned his
claim to Cooley, relative.
To determine just what Cooleys
share comes to in dollars and cents
the enormous Miller and Lux estate
must be partitioned for the first time
since it passed into the joint owner
ship of the famous cutie and land
kings.
Cooleys share will be nearly
100000.

Who Gets the Pay?

The Carson News is authority for
the statement that in the recount of
The Storey County ballots in the
Springmeyer-B Baker contest this week
the new canvass proves that w. H.
Kearns, who was candidate for the
Assembly, was really elected though
he was counted out by four votes.
The correction comes in the accept
ance of ballots by the Supreme Court
that were wrongfully rejected by the
officials of Storey County.

MANY Rabbits Killed,

Some idea OF the magnitude of the
magnitude of the slaushter of rabbits
in western Kansas may be gained
from the report of the county clerks
in Finney, Scott, Logan and Trego
counties. In the four counties 240, :
900 rabbit scalps have been received
in the last two months for which
bounties aggregating $1,000 we're
paid. The rabbits have done much
damage.
