RICH GOLD STRIKE
in LANDER COUNTY

Gold, gold as rich as that which made
Manhattan the Mecca of the stampeders
just some years ago; gold as rich ana
richer than that which caused the
stampede from Tonopah to Goldfield,
has been broken into in the Lemaire
mine, seven miles west of Austin.
Bert Ingram, Ed Gearhty and John
Shovelin were doing the assessment
work on the property and were raising
from the 100 foot level They felt they
we're sure of good mine when they
were raising through quartz, permeat-
cd with horn silver and other evidences
of enrichment which have kept Gwee
rah and Skookum on the waiting lisr
of Nevada mineral possibilities for
years.
But they were not expecting to break
into bonanza and gold rock.
1t is the opinion of Bert Ingram, who
knows the surface outcroppings that
first gave this particular mineral area
prominence in central Nevada, that the
gold bearing ledge at depth has been
punctured at the rich shoot which FIRST
caused the Lemaires to locate the
ground.
To make long story short, the rock
is lousy with free gold. The ledge is
from two to three feet in width. The
gold bearing quartz streak is six to
eight inches in width and is in touch
withaa streak of red tale that is also
very rich in gold, specimens being
grabbed right and left by Austin sii.

Gweenah is the twin sister of the
camp of Skookum which lived thirteen
weeks when those, infused with the
enthusiasm of the southern Nevada
camps, thought to make a camp across
Reese river and move the entire bust
ness of Austin to a new center of grav-
ity.
They were short of capital to develop
the camp and one by one threw up the
sponge.

by the Gweenah mine.

LEGATION that lived thirteen weeks un-
der the management of the writer, who
has never wavered from the belief that
there are rich mines across the river
from Austin as have been found in
this or any other state in the past half
century.
In this connection, it should not be
overlooked that the mining operations
now being conducted by the Austin
Dakota Mining company on the south
side of the gulch in Austin are proving
up heavier gold values with each
month g work. The same was done on
the Austin Central and the same was
done on the property of Colonel Rich
ardson on the eastward trend of the
Lander Hill productive vein system.
There is every justification for the
prospector to get busy in the Gweenan
or Skookum district and there is full
propriety in congratulating the Lee
maires of Battle Mountain in staying
by their well property, which
now flashes the high grade in the ye,-

SAM PLATT CAN
DIDATE FOR SENATE

Samuel Platt, who two years ago was
defeated for the United States senate
ky Senator Francis G.. Newlands b.,
only 40 votes, Saturday made the for
NAL announcement of his candidacy for
the Republican nomination for the same
Office this year. His statement follows,

usage and practice, notified the RepuD-
lican national committeeman for this
state of my candidacy for the United
States senate before the next Republi-
can nominating convention. / am en-.
tering into this campaign with a heart
full of gratitude to the good people OF
Nevada who have been so universally
kind to me. Their splendid vote of con-
fdence at the last election has not only
filled me with encouragement, but 1t
has proven that to victor or yanquished
there is something stronger to be cher
ished than mere election to office.
cit is early yet to discuss the possi-
BILE issues of the next campaign. The
nominees must first be chosen before
the real partisan controversy begins.
There is every indication that no bitter
factional differences will rend the Re
pHbiifdH convention III NbNddd am
that personal disappointments will
soon be forgotten in the common desire
to speed the cause. This is as it shoul
be; and regardless of the convention :
choice, there will be united party
behind the candidates.
'eWhile the convention is some
months away, | expect to enter at once
upon an active campaign. 1t shall be
my purpose to interest the electorate
of Nevada, regardless of party, in the
political principles which make for the
good Of the state and nation. The
cordial good will of the Progressives
toward me in the last campaign AMI
the outspoken manner in which Repub-
lieans and Progressives are meeting
upon common ground, both locally ana
nationally, are splendid indications or

A coyote afflicted with what has
been pronounced the worst kind of ra
bies, was killed by Barney Wiley on
the 18th inst. on the Anker ranch IN
the lower end of Loveloek valley.
The dog belonging to Wiley that was
attacked by the coyote has been con-
fined to determine whether it win de
volop rabies. If it does, it viii be
killed.
Wiley first saw the coyote while out
in the field with his dog. The animal
was on the other side of fence. II
attacked the canine. While Wiley went
for his gun, the dog ran away and the
coyote trotted up the road to the Rod
gers ranch gate, turned around and
came back the same way.
1t was near the same place that WI
ley first saw the coyote that he killed
it, He was assisted by f. NJ. Wilkin-
son, manager fthe Rodgers ranch.
The head of the animal was sent TO
tie State Hygienie Laboratory at Rene,
where, after a careful examination, il

Local Political Ban Set in Motion

There is bare possibility that there
may be two vacancies on the Supreme
Court bench this fall Judge Norcrose
IS out of the race for reelection to his
present position, as he has elected TO
try for the United States Senate, and
lis successor will be chosen at the No
vember election. In the event tha,
Judge MeCarran is successful in his
candidacy for the Senate, there will be
another vacancy, which will be filed
hy the appointment of Governor Boyle.
In last nights issue of the Hum.
boldt Star, Judge f. A. Dueker an
uounees his candidacy for Justice of th~
Supreme Court. While he will no doubt
carry Humboldt county, so far as
known he has no particular strength
in other portions of the state. 1t is
not considered probable that he eoulc
command the entire support of even
the counties of eastern Nevada, a.

STOCK ASS0CIA-
TON ISSUES LETTER

The following letter has been sent to
its members and the press of .he state
by the Nevada Livestock association.
Rabies is epidemic in the Pacific
states, and Nevada is already infect
ed You will have received Circular
on Rabies, prepared and sent through
out this state by the Hygienic Labora-
tory in an effort to give the citizens
Of the state some correct information
concerning this disease. Actual CO.
operation among all the existing fed
eral, state, county and municipal agen-
eies, together with sympathetic assist
anee from all private corporations ana
Individuals, will alone prevent serious
losses to stock and human deaths. AL
ready in two years over thirty people
in California have suffered the terrible
death from this disease. Steps have
been taken by the states in California,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and Utah, to
obtain assistance from the several fed
eral services especially interested. II
these efforts to obtain federal help are
to be successful it will be necessary to
show that the various state govern
ments and the citizens of these states
ale doing their part in helping to Grad
ieate this disease.
You are stockman, and your In
terests are affected in several ways
your stock, the employees that look ar
ter your stock, your family, and your
self. All of these are in danger of be-
coming infected if efforts at the sup
preston of the disease are not immedi-
ately undertaken. If stock are infected
they win surely die. If people are in
fected some will surely die, as the
treatment is not always successful in
preventing the disease Some of yours
may be among the unsuccessful ones.
viii you do your share in protecting
your own?
. In this disease the greatest danger
to stock is from the coyote. The great
est danger to the people is from the
dog. The denser the population ami
tie greater the number of dogs or eoy-
otes in any community, the greater is
the danger if the disease once appears
in that community. Children are more
frequently attacked by dogs than
are adults. Protect your own children
The only way to prevent the spread or
the disease is to muzzle all dogs and
to kill as many coyotes as possible.

now being made9 You NAV do this by.
Muzzling your own dogs.
