Hermann Zadig came in yesterday
morning from San Francisco to have
look at the North Star and to find
out something about the prospects
of the Rescue Eula making good since
the Jim Butler opened UP body of
ore close to the line between the two
properties.
During the morning Mr.. Zadig Wis
tied the North Star and afterwards
spoke very encouragingly about the
prospects of developing a mine. He
says the most significant and en-.
couraging feature Of the mine is the
opening of a stringer on the 1882
which, if it makes into an ore body
will give the Star 500 feet of backs
He said he did not have chance
to go down the Rescue, as they were
putting in a new cable. He left this
morning for Goldfield.

spectacle of the biggest hide pulling
contest ever witnessed in this state.
The sight was the most amazing
ever seen, it is safe to venture.
Twenty-Five men stripped OF all super
fluous clothing welding knives and
covered with blood were working
against time. Not even the huge
slaughter houses Of the Chicago stock
yards, which attract thousands of
visitors daily. could rival the san
culinary scene witnessed in the open
air Of the desert
Altogether 1890 carcases were
heaped in a small mountain at one
end of the railroad yards. This
stack was attacked by twenty-five
butchers who worked by the piece
and piled their knives with dex-
terity that was marvellous to behold.
They we're paid rs cents apiece for
the work, and it is estimated that
the skinners earned dollar an hour
AS fast as the pelts were stripped
from the muttons they we're tossed
aside and other men seized the poi
soned remains and loaded them on
wagons which hauled them to a dis
tant hillside where an arroyo had
been cut by the storms of last fall.
Here they were laid in rows. and
when the trench was filled a charge
of powder was placed and the upper
bank tossed over the carcases, COW
ering them to depth of five to six
feet.
The butchers took off between 500
and 700 pelts. Wherever the eye
would rest nothing could be seen but
dead sheep; they Uttered the desert.
Below the pump station of the Des-
ert mill by the hundred it looked
worse than the carnage on the bat
tlefield of a Mexican insurrection.
only the deadly cyanide in the in
nocent stream running from the big
mill was more sure than powder and
ball.
Scores of visitors came down from
