far from 1,500 people. As to the
wage-earners, there are probably at
least 100 men drawing wages as min
ers, in addition to the army of men
employed in building, and as bartend-
ers, walters, cooks, and the like. But
unless more men find employment in
the mines, many must leave the camp,
as they are without the necessary
funds to live in idleness for any great
length of time.
The Nenzel Properties.
About half mile east of the main
corner of East Rochester, and appar-
emily at about an equal distance up
in the sky, are situated the Nenzel
properties, which first attracted atten-
tion to the camp. The ground has been
cut up into blocks and leased. The
dumps and tunnels of the several
leasers are plainly visible. The most
talked of block is that under lease
to f. A. Ludwig, Joe Platt, w. c..
Robson and Dave Patterson, known
as the "Big Four" tunnel to cut
the ledge at a vertical depth of be-
tween 500 and 700 feet struck the
vein at a distance of about Sc feet.
The last shots Sunday went in on this
vein six feet, with no sign of the
hanging wall. What the rock will av-
erage for the entire width is largely a
matter of conjecture, owing to the
many conflicting stories. But one
thing is certain. Saturday five
pound chunk of rock was taken from
the face of the tunnel, broken in two,
and half Of it assayed. 1t gave
values in gold and silver of $149.S1,
between $500 and 5000 in gold and
the balance silver. The other half is
now on exhibition in the office of III.
u. Murrish, Loveloek and any person
doubling the truth of the story will
probably be allowed to take it and
have it assayed.
Sunday the first car of ore to be
shipped from the camp stood loaded
on the sidetraek at Oreana and before
this appears in print is probably on its
way to the smelter.
Next to the "Big Four1 lease in
importance is that owned by j. III.
Causten, J. 7. Sullivan and Jake Ber-
ger. All three men are well known in
Winnemucca, having been intereste I
at National two or three years ago.
They are running two tunnels on
their lease.
The Weaver crosscut on the Wing
field property was in SO feet Sunday,
and had but a short distance to go to
cut the vein.
Father Enright, the popular Love
lock divine, secured one of the first
leases on the Nenzel group. He has
disposed of his lease to a corporation
organized for the purpose of working
it, retaining large block of the
stock.

APEX
SUIT Is SETTLED

Yesterday a deed was filed with the
county recorder which transferred from
the Charleston Hill National Mining
Syndicate to the National Mines com
pany the West Virginia No. l and
the Charleston No. l mining claims,
known locally as the Mammoth -
properties. While a nominal consider
alton was named in the deed, it is un-
derstood on good authority that a
substantial first cash payment was
made, the deferred payments being
contingent on the production of the
two claims sold.
Some months ago the "Mammoth -
people brought suit against the Ma
tional company which involved the
question of apex rights. The action
was tried before Judge harrington,
and resulted in a victory for the Ma
tional Mines company. In the ordi-
nary course of events, the cause would
have been appealed and dragged its
way through the Federal courts for
many years, or until large proper
tion of the property's value had been
spent in litigation. In this case, how
ever, the interested parties got togeth-
er and made the deal transferring the
property.
Although the deed was recorded "a
hours ago, the camp has already TAX
en- on new life. Yesterday afternoon
Manager Taylor telegraphed in for
miners, and four were sent out, and
others will follow as soon as they can
be secured.

Secretary Wilson has issued an or
der, effective on February l, releasing
from the Federal quarantine for sheep
scab Is counties in California and 10
in Nevada, aggregating over 100000

reau of Animal Industry in co-opera-
tom with the state authorities for the
eradication of this disease.
About Is years ago sheep seab was
prevalent throughout most of the terri
tory west of the Mississippi river. 1t
was becoming a serious handicap to
the sheep industry and was constant
ly spreading. The government with
the assistance of state authorities un-
dertook first to control the disease and
later to stamp it out. This work has
been so successful that most of the in
fected territory has been freed of the
disease and released from quarantine.
The territory still remaining in quar-
entine consists of the States of Texas
md New Mexico and parts of Califor-
ia, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona
and Kentucky. The work OF eradiea-
tion is being continued in these areas.
Inc area released Dy SECRETARY WI

History Repeating Itself.

After the lapse of twenty-five
years history has repeated itself
in the parish of st. Landry. In
1888 Louis Stage and G. G. Du-
son were contestants for the
state senate. There were 5000
votes cast. The registrar re-
turned Mr.. Duson elected by one
vote. Mr.. Stage contended that
there had been a tie vote, hence
there had been no election. The
registrar having returned Mr..
Duson elected, Mr.. Stage car
ried his contest to the state SEN
ate which sustained the regis
trar.
Now after the lapse of a quar-
ter of a century we have Mr..
Dubuisson returned elected by
one vote. This is history repeat
ing itself, and but emphasizes
the necessity to vote at every
election.
Our friend Judge Dupre was
insisting that Mr.. Dubuisson,s
friends be brought to the polls
by reason of the experience had
in the election of 1888. He
stated to Ike Stagg the neces-
sity to have every voter at
Whiteville brought to the poll
and illustrated this necessity, by
referring to the defeat of his
uncle years ago by one vote.
