GROOM, Nevada, May 14-The
Groom mine continues its regular
shipments OF lead ore. Just now the
hauling from the mine to Indian
Springs is done with two trucks. The
round trip of 100 miles is easily
made by each outfit in day. so far
the roads have been good.
The main shaft has been opened up
from the 100 to the 20O-foot level
and cross-cutting is going ahead, east
and west. for new ore. Practically
no water was encountered in doing
this work till the east cross-cut was
in some rs feet when a water seam
was cut which flowed some 24OO gal
Ions day. Latterly this reduced to
about 1900 gallons day, and may
grow still less, but it helps to solve
the water question for the camp, as
more water is needed for both do
mestic purposes and jigging ore. To
secure supply for all purposes how
ever, the Groom owners recently fl
ed an application to pipe water fr :.
Naquinta Springs to the camp. The
springs are situated about eight mil
es to the north.
Lane and sherwood, owners of the
Black Metal claim, have put up a
lumber cabin and tent on the ground
and are sending down prospect
shaft at the point where they recent
ly discovered heavy lead ore. They
were fortunate enough, too, at the
upper part of the claim to deyelop
water enough for camp purposes.
The ore showing gets stronger as
depth is attained
The Pahranagat people are with

c. Stowell, one of Alamos most en-

lightning in the south end of Coal
valley last Friday while out on a cat
tie roundup. He was accompanied
on the trip by Merl Schofield and
County Commissioner Jno. w. Wedge
While the three were with some cat
tie big thunder storm overcame
them. Stowell and his horse were
both killed instantly and Mr.. Scho-
field, who was about 40 rods away,
received shock which rendered him
unconscious for several minutes.
Commissioner Wedge saw the bolt
which brought about the fatality and
saw Stowell and the animal he was
riding fall to the earth. He first
rushed to the aid of Schofield and
as soon as the latter recovered his
senses, they went to the spot where
Stowell and his horse lay. Aside
from the scratches on his face, due
to the fall to the gravelly ground,
Stowell was not disfigured.
The tragedy occurred about twen-

The remains were conveyed to the
