Rich Ore Near Buckskin
(From the Yerington Times)

(Irom the erinStOn lneS)
Recent discoveries of rich gold ore
in claims adjoining the old Buckskin
ground, few miles from Wellington
have created a sensation in Yerington
and Smith Valley and every one who
is able TO do so is securing ground in
the district.
The Buckskin ground owned prin-
cipally by +. II. Whitacre, has been
opticncd to r. A. Hardy of Virginia
City ard Grant Crumley of Tonopah
for what is reported to have been a
substantial cash consideration. Schulz.
owning ground adjoining the Buck
skin group has sold his property to the
same people for $4,000 according to
reports, and Pat Madden and James
O'Brien have also made sales.
The discovery that caused the stir
was made on the Schulz ground when
a two foot ledge of 5000 gold ore
was developed in location hole. The
vein has been opened Fly prospect
holes for distance of 600 feet on the
surface. The ore appears to be a
brown hematite, occurring between
lime and porphry contact Free gold
is easily seen in samples brought
here.
Samples taken from the flat below
the claims have given encouraging
returns in placer, and many locations
have been made.
A shaft being sunk to tap the weir
at depth is now down .o5 feet and il
is reported that Mr.. Hardy will short
ly put on 20 additional miners te
work. 3.lE..

Friday, Saturday and Sunday the
Indians at the reservation gave a
rodeo on their own hook and some
very interesting features were the
result, says the Fallon Standard.
A great deal of the attention
was confined to Indian sports and
some of the citizens of this city and
section enjoyed the fun and sports.
Sunday was the big day at the res
ervation and many carloads OF Fal-
lonites and others were in attendance.
The sports of the day consisted OF
horse racing, bronco riding, football
and other amusements which were
thoroughly enjoyed by the visitors as
well as the Indian spectators.
Many Indians from Schurz and the
surrounding section were in attend
ance, making a lively scene at the
reservation. Some excellent riding
was demonstrated and several of the
horses gave the spectators their mon
eys worth.
During the late afternoon when the
football game was in its heighth, one
of the players seemed to faint and was
taken from the field. Within few
minutes it developed that the man
about 40 years of age, had died, APP
parently from heart disease or over
cxertion. Every effort was made to
revive him by those present. The
body was later removed to the camp
The death of the player broke up tht
game.
The show put on by the Indian boys
was worth while and should be made
an anual affair and with proper man
agement and advertising can be made
quite a feature for the reservation ant
the whole section
