REPORTED SHOOTING
SCRAPE AT
MASONIC MONDAY

According to the Carson News, a
telegram received in that city yester-
day morning from Bridgeport, Cal,
announced that a shooting scrape had
taken place in Masonic the night be
fore whereby a saloon man was shot
by miner by the name of Steve
Kavanaugh. From the meagre re
ports received it is believed the shoot
ing was the result of the beating up
of the miner, Kavanaugh, by the sa-
loon man. A double -barrelled shot
gun was used and the saloon man
was shot in the face and side with
bird shot. A physician was rushed
from Gardnerville during the night
to the side of the injured man and
at last reports he was resting easily
Kavanaugh is we'll and favorably
known miner of Mono county and this
is the first time he was ever known
to have been in trouble.

INQUISITIVE CANINE

r. c. Nudge and f. J. Ross, with
Mig" dog owned by Ross, were
up to Pinegrove looking over the
Wheeler mine. During the time they
were there they were making surveys,
etc, in and out of the tunnel. Every
little while the dog concluded to make
a little survey by himself, SO starting
into the tunnel he went along all right
until he came to Wine, not knowing
it was there, of course, he fell in
going to the bottom, kerplunk, where
he whined and barked for little while
In the meantime Nudge and Ross
took a big sheet of canvas, making a
sling of it, lowering it down the winze,
telling the dog to get into the sling
The dog, being wise, did as he was
told, when he was pulled to the top
none the worse for his fall down the
75-foot winze.

THE FARMERS MEETING

Professor Hendricks, President OF
the Nevada State University, Prof
Wilson Prof. Knight and DR.. S. Lock
EFT, of the Veterinary Department,
held farmers meeting in the Owl
Hall last Wednesday, Quite a number
of the valley farmers were in attend
ance. Each one gave the results of
scientific farming, dairying and live
stock breeding and handling, which
was very instructive In the past the
University has paid more attention
to mining than agriculture, but Prof.
Hendricks states that agricultural in
terests will receive its inning from
now on, asking the farmer to not be
backward in calling on the Univer-
sity for help in all matters pertaining
to the farm This looks to us as
though farming HhisT hrdlu dlu shrdul
though the farmer is bound to get
the benefit, so do not be backward,
but let the University staff of experts
know what your troubles are. They
want to and can help you.

OCHEECHEE PROPERTY

On the Ocheechee property in Piute

they are widening and lengthening
out the old Kaufman shaft prepara-
tory to sinking another 200 feet.
1t is now Us feet in depth, sunk years
ago by J. c. Kaufman and Ike Miller.
This will give depth of 325 feet un-
der the surface. Drifting and cross
cutting will be started to determine the
magnitude of the vein. A new Over
land one-ton truck for hauling their
own supplies, arrived the other day
and went into service at once. We
understand the work is in charge of
Albert Bovard, who we all know
knows how it should be done. The
parties have named the property the
Ocheechce mine, after the celebrated
Piute chieftain mentioned in the En-
clopaedia Britannica. The first ore,
float, was found a great many years
ago by a Piute Indian Some very
rich ore has been found in several diff

been done. The Smith syndicate will

AURORA GETTING
READY FOR A
STEADY RUN

New equipment to supplement the
settling capacity of the Aurora Con
solidated mill is beginning to arrive
at the plant and the last carload will
be shipped on the q of the present
month, according to statement made
in Reno by Albert Burch, General
Manager of the property. The plant is
expected to be in operation and again
treating 500 tons daily by the first OF
April at the latest
The additions now being made to
the big plant are designed to effect
an increase saving of the gold content
of the ore, which is for the most part
of comparatively low-grade, but is sus-
ceptible to treatment by processes
that are inexpensive, and it is believed
that with the installation of the new
settling equipment a high recovery
will be effected. The product is
chiefly in the form of zinc precipitates,
and this is shipped to the Goldfield
Consolidated mill and reduced to bul
lion in the refinery of the latter COM
pany.

THE BODIE
STANDARD MINE
CHANGES HANDS

The famous old Standard mine at
Bodie, out of which the late William
M. Lent, Of San Francisco, affection
ately known on the stock board and
in the mines as Uncle Bill" took his
great fortune, was transferred this
week at Bodie to J. S. Cain, a pioneer
of Mono county, and owner of the
South End mines. Cain, some months
ago, discovered that the Standard
workings had for some time penetrat-
ed into his ground and ore had been
extracted that he claimed to be his.
1t is supposed the transfer just re-
corded is in full of all claims.
The Standard mine was at one time
considered as rich as the famous Po-
tosi in Mexico and for 20 years il
paid dividends without break The
power plant belonging to. the property
is valuable and when built it was the
longest in the world-16 miles. 1t was
at the Standard mine that the cyanide
process of gold extraction was first
tried
