GOOD STRIKE ON
LONE MOUNTAIN
JACK YORK STRIKES ORE. WHICH
WILL RUN Sal PER
PER TON
Is an Unlucky Man
Has Discovered Many Mines And
others Reaped The
Profit

According to advices received from
Carlin, Jack York has made an impor-
tant strike at Lone Mountain. He
has uncovered a ledge of ore which
runs S31 per ton. The ledge is sew
eral feet in width and shows a large
body OF milling ore in sight. This
discovery was made on one claim,
and ON another Claim less than a
mile away he struck an immense
body Of lead-silver ore which runs on
the average of SAL per ton or better.
Jack, like most prospectors in this
country has his faults, but we must
take off our hats to him as being able
to find and locate the claims where
the money is to be found. "-Ie is a
lucky cuss," some people say, but it
is not all luck. 1t is the ability to
locate the stuff and the nerve to go
after it. That faculty has been born
in the cradle of vicisitudes and hard
knocks in western mining camps. He
is genius in making important dis
coveries and selling the claims for a
song, and often-times he has been
compelled to sing the song for him
self. The last claim he made was
at Lone Mountain, where he sold to
the Alaska Improvement Co. Jack re-
ceived $4,000 for half interest. Just
how much the other half cost the
company has not been made public,
At any rate, G.. Y De Law general
manager OF the Alaska Improvement
company, is authority for the state
ment that in short time enough ore
was shipped from the claim to cover
the entire purchase price. There are
several leasers at work on the prop
erty and they are doing well. Enough
development work has been done on
the Rip Van Wrinkle, which is the
name of the mine, to disclose values
high enough to put that mine in the
million dollar class, and Jack York
the prospector who made the discov-
cry, received a paltry $4,000. 1t is
only fair to say that it is probably
all 1t was worth at the time the sale
was made. Subsequent development
work exposed a large amout of high.
grade ore as to its true value. The
facts of the matter are that the sur
face has barely been scratched. Com
petent mining engineers have estim-
ated that countless millions lie hidden
beneath the rugged mountain which
bears the name of Lone Mountain. 1t
is the one best mining propositions in
the state, yet to be exploited and
worked in strenuous businesslike
manner by men who have the money
to invest and faith in the efficiency
of the management and confidence in
the Judgment of the prospectors and
mine experts who all agree that the
opportunity is here to make millions
OK dollars.

TAKING SPAWN AT

MARLETTE LAKE
Jim Voght arrived from Marlette
lake last evening with the first con-
signment of spawn taken this year
for the State Fish hatchery. Yester-
day he secured 10000 spawn and they
have been placed in the local hatch
cry, where they will be eyd before
being taken to tn main hatchery at
Verdi.
The Commission has found that the
local conditions are better for cycling
the spawn than those at Verdi and
the entire yield from Marlette will be
grought to this city for that purpose.
Mr.. Voght states that 1t is the de-
sire OF the commission to secure at
least 100000 spawn at the lake this
year as the demand for the eastern
brought to this city for that purpose.
and 1t has been impossible for the
commission to supply all that was
asked for during the last season. The
weather has been ideal SO far at the
lake and as there are lots OF fish It
Is believed that there will be no
trouble in securing the desired
amount.
Mr.. Voght returned to the lake this
morning with supplies and from this
time on until December the work of
taking spawn will be carried on con-
tinuously.-Carson Appeal.

and brought to this city to be placed

that all the allegations are false They
even intimated that a slander suit
might be instituted against him. They
deny the story given out that the
trouble started over a school ques-
ton at Tobar and say that the matter
had nothing to do with the present
trouble. Messrs. Rutherford and
Sweeney say that the statement that
they drew gun and or
dered Mr.. Hoaglin off the
property is also false and
that the only gun drawn in the diff

self. Mr.. Rutherforn insists that the
whole trouble was q pience Of spite
work on the part Of Mr.. Hoaglin and
that they were amply moving a piece
of property from one location to an
other which they had a perfect right
to do.
All the men involved in the trouble
are prominent and the cases will
probably start sensational complica-
tions before 1t is settled.
When seen by an Independent re-
porter later e. A. Klein OF the firm
of Klein and Hale, attorneys for Mr..
Hoaglin, stated that two warrants had
been sworn out against Mr.. c. Hoag-
lin. charging him with assault with
d deadly weapon on both Rutherford
and Sweeney and that Ave more war
rants had been Issued for the defend

ones. He stated that after the men
had been released at flrst
they were ordered to do
no more work on the build
ing which was being moved but that
they went ahead with the work when
released and moved 1t some feet fur
ther and that these warrants were
sworn out on these grounds.
