MINING DEAL CLOSED

NJ. Murtaugh, who returned a few
DAYS ago from San Francisco, stated
this morning that he had closed a
deal for the sale of the Murtaugh
group of mining claims in the Sill
yer Star district, and hal San Fran
cisco and Butte people had arranged
to take them over under bond. A
representative of the new owners is
now in this city, and it is said will
start opening up the property as SOC
as possible. Many sets of leasers
have been working the district on
these claims during the past year,
and good showings have been made
at several points, and ore shipped
to the mills at Silver City. Some
~high-grade streaks are reported and
the outlook is said to be very en-
couraging as greater depth is at
tanned. Mr.. Murtaugh states that
most of the leases will expire very
soon, and the new interests and own
ers will take hold at once. The
claims are located east of the Occi-
dental.-Virginia Chronicle.

DRINK CYANIDE
WATER AND DIE
TWELVE HUNDRED SHEEP LOST
AT MILLERS, is REPORT
RECEIVED

Twelve hundred of a herd of 1900
sheep, belonging to l.. P. Kimball
and w. C. McGarry of Springdale,N
met death last night at Millers by
drinking cyanide water flowing from
a milling plant in that town, accord
ing to a report received in Goldfield
this morning. The loss to the own
es of the band probably amounts to
81 a head or a total of $4,000
Kimball and McGarry recently
closed a deal with Dan Wheeler, a
sheep man of Reno, for the sale of
the herd to him, with the under
standing that the sheep should be
delivered to him at Rawhide. The
herd has recently been grazing in
the vicinity of Cuprite, fourteen miles
south of Goldfield, and on Wednesday
was driven through Goldfield on the
way to Rawhide. Millers was reached
yesterday and it is presumed that
while the flockmasters were sleeping
last night, the sheep gained access
to the poisonous water and met in
slant death in q%uenching their thirst.

ORE AT ATWOOD

Atwood is fast assuming it's old
time appearance" declared j. G..
Richardson, who returned last night
from a trip OF inspection to the
southern mining camp which is now
described as booming.
ION the Butler property where the
recent strike was made" continued
Richardson, lover six feet of ore as
saying $3S to the ton has been OPEN
ed up at a depth of over 200 feet.
Streaks in this vein will produce
high assays, but a careful sampling
will give returns averaging around
$40"
Richardson stated that the new
district has been rechristened Butler
and that a number of mining men
from outside points had fiOcked to
the scene and were e%ndeavoring to
secure leases. A townsite has been
laid out near the strike and a num-
Der of houses moved in.
Richardson continued on to the
last night and will return in a
week to start operations upon prop
erty adjoining the main strike. He
has r~eorganized his company and in
tends to sink for the main Butler
ledge without delay.-Reno Journal.

RIFLE USED BY
BANDIT IS FOUND
IDENTIFIED BY MINER WHO
GAVE III TO RAFAEL
LOPEZ

BINGHAM, UTAH, Feb. 10.-The
Identification of a rifle found beneath
a trestle near the Utah Apex mine
as the weapon which Rafael Lopez
took into the mine the night of No
vember &c, has convinced the local
authorities that the bandit escaped
from the mine soon after he killed ].
Douglas Hulsey and Tom Manderich
and has virtually removed all doubt
that Lopez succeeded in evading the
officers.
The rifle was found a month ago by
J.. limbaugh, a brakeman of the
Bingham and Garfield railroad, with
a revolver holster and a belt partly
filled with cartridges. He took the
rifle to Salt Lake City without report
ing it. Returning Sunday he in
formed the officers of his find and
the weapon was identified by private
marks by Mike Steffano, who gave it
to Lopez. The ownership of the
holster and cartridge belt has not
been established.

GREY EAGLE LEASERS
SHIPPING HIGH-GRADE

j. II. Edison and partners leasing
on the Grey Eagle mine have just
shipped a carload of ore to the smell
ter. The freighting of this ore from
the mine in the present condition of
the roads was very difficult and eX-
p~ensive, but was bravely carried out
by VIM. Doyle, for which he was
paid $40 a ton. This may appear a
high price for hauling ore to the rail-
road in addition to the railroad
charges. cost of mining and smelling
charges, but the grade of the ore and
the values in the mine justify the
cost. 1t is estimated that the so tons
in this carload will average $3.50
per ton. The Edison lease has out
two more carloads to ship.
Joy and Calvin leasing on the
same property have now ready for
shipment a carload of similar ore,
which will be brought to the railroad
as soon as the condition of the roads
will permit.-Battle MountGin Scout.

LEASING OF
ALASKA COAL LANDS
REPRESENTATIVE FERRIS OF
OKLAHOMA INTRODUCES
BILL IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-A plan
to open up the coal lands of Alaska
through the leasing system was pro-
posed by a bill introduced in the
house yesterday by Representative
Ferris of Oklahoma, as a part of the
administration program for the de-
velopment of the Il of the
territory.
The measure would allow The Sec
rotary of the interior to lease for
private development the government
coal lands in Alaska in blocks of for
ty acres or multiples thereof up to
1850 acres. No single developer
would be allowed to take UP more
than the latter number of acres and
no claims aggregating more than that
amount could be combined under a
penalty of forfeiture.
