LEDGE STRUCK IN
SWEEPSTAKES MINES

Two years ago the Goth of next
month, John McConaghy started to
drive a tunnel in the Sweepstakes
mine in the old Bullion mining district,
confident in the hope that at fifteen
hundred feet he would cut the ledge
and prove the value of the property.
Since then he has conducted work per-
sistently, and now his hopes have been
realized. Recently he cut into the ore
body. 1t is a copper -silver-lead propo-
sition, with values of about $35 per
ton.
The striking of this ledge means
much 70 the Bullion district. It proves
the ore body at greater depth than
has been attained by any mine in the
camp. Where the ledge has been cut
it is 500 feet to the surface.
The Sweepstakes is one of the old
properties of the camp and is owned
by A. w. Hesson, Thos. Hunter and
John J. Hylton. Two years ago they
gave lease and bond on the property
to H. M. Armstrong and F. E. Blaisdell
and their associates, The latter began
development work under the direction
OF Mr.. MeConaghy, with the results
stated above. The bond was for $4,000
ard the first payment of $4,000 falls
due January 20, 1916. The rest of the
payments fall due within the year.
Mr.. Armstrong and Mr. Blaisdell
were notified of the strike and they
came out to inspect it. They have just
returned from Bullion and they report
themselves as highly pleased. There is
now no doubt that the bond will be
taken up and the payments made ac-
cording to agreement.
What the proving of the depth of ore
in the Sweepstakes means to Bullion
eannot be overestimated. I will stim-
ulate work in other properties and the
old camp will again be one of the
states biggest producers.-Elko Inde-
pendent.

sented to Auditor Germain yesterday
morning, that official declined to draw

Gerlach Asks for Protection

That rabid coyotes are becoming a
menace to the residents of northern
Washoe county and are being killed in
large numbers is the claim made by A..
Jeakin, who resides Is miles north Of
Gerlach, to the county commissioners
today. His statement was supported
by affidavits filed this afternoon by
Constable Scott Butler of Gerlach and
made by David Laxton, Elmer George
ard n. f. Bowen, all residents of the
northern part of the county. All asked
that the county raise the bounty on
coyotes. Jeakin told the commissioners
that he has killed six rabid coyotes in
the last two weeks, five of them being
slain after dark. The one killed in the
daytime attacked his dogs. A boy liv-
ing in that neighborhood killed two
last week while on his way to school
and most of the school children carry
guns while going to attend their
classes.
David Laxton in his affidavit says
he has killed several and that one at
tackled his wife recently. She fled to
the house and killed the animal with
a shotgun Elmer Georges S affidavit is
to TIE effect that he has killed four
rabid animals and N. E. Bowen claims
10 have killed three.
The county commissioners have taken
no action toward extreminating rabid
coyotes, but have written to commits
sioners in Humboldt, Churchill and
Lyon counties asking that the commits
sieners Of the four counties agree on
plans which may include raising the
bounty to be paid.-Gazette.

New York, Sept. 16.-Accordsng to
information which reached the Inter.
national News Service, Germany has
already entered q protest against the
loan with Secretary of State Lansing
at Washington.
Mr.. Lansing has been informed that
Germany has made earnest efforts to
maintain friendly relations with the
United States, but that ii this loan ia
f1oated here as a national loan, the
German government will find 1t diff
cult not to regard the fact ss q DELHI
erately unff1endly. act on the part Of
the people Of this country. Termina-
ton of diplomatic relations might even
follow, the informant said.
: Might cease Negotiations. ~
According 70 the informant, follow.
ing this line OF argument, Count Won
Bernstorff has automatically pointed
out to Mr.: Lansing that If the loan
goes through it would be greatly to
Germany's advantage, since the Unit
ed States is not toaI friendly, to cease
all negotiations with regard tc sub.
marine warfare and let matters take
their course.
Probably" said the gentleman,
that is what the German ambassador
had in mind the other day when he re-.
terred to summarizing everything in
