that will be required to furnish a suffi-

proposition.

Sol Camp and d. H. Skea, mining men,
the former well-known here, have been
discharged from arrest on a charge of
high grading from the Limerick mine,
north of Lovelock. The ore they were
accused of taking was sent to the SAM
ping works at Hazen. There were five

pay the expenses of hauling and
working.
