In history of the Elk Mountain
Mining District we note the follow
ing which may be of interest to our
readers of today:
A mile to the northwest of Irwin,
overlooking beautiful Lake Brennan,
are the Lead Chief and Little Chief.
The Lead Chief was discovered July /,
1879, by A. K Gilkison. Gilkison and
Duncan realized $4,000 each from
the sale of the Lead Chief. The Lit
tie Chief was discovered by the two
little sons of Gilkison, aged seven and
nine yearA while their father was
working the Lead Chief.
One mile west of Irwin lies the
Bullion King and Monte Christie, dis
covered in July 1879, by Ute Bros. and
McCloud, and sold in December to j.
H. Haverly and Company for S1O3, 900.
The Ruby Mining company is at
present operating the Venango. J. X.
Hallowell is the local representative.
The consumation of the sale of the
Excelsior and Yankee Blade mines on
Cascade mountain to the Black Queen
Gold Mining Co., of Cripple Greek,
means much for the future of the
North Gunnison country. The pur-
chasers of the mines are the officers
of the nearby Augusta, which has
proven one of the bonanza ore veins
of the state,-Denver Mining Record.

ing From Store.

PETERSBURG, Va. March H.

tanta, Prince George county. about
Is miles from Petersburg. The
shooting occurred between l and 2
o'clock in the morning.
Gwathmey was in his home, To-
Gated about 100 yards from the
store. when, he declared, he heard
of the building ring out. Grabbing
a shotgun, both barrels Of which
were loaded, he ran out into the
yard. He said that he saw two
men running away from the store
and that he opened fire. He fired
only one shot, and both men fell
to the ground.
Believing that the men were
dead, he crept up on them,
the gun in position to fire
again IL necessary. Reaching the
spot where the men lay, he dis
covered that both were dead.
One OF the negroes is said to be
a native Of Wakefield and the
other Is unidentified. The negroes

about the store for more than a
week and had been warned to keep
away.
