NEVADA LEAD NINE Of HAMILTON
HAS NEW SHOOT Of SHIPPING ORE

A new oreshoot has been opened
in the Nevada Lead Mining property
at Hamilton, the information being
brought to Ely by w. NJ Harwood.

give were that ore was being taken
out and it is believed 10 be the same
high grade that has been mined and
shipped from the former shoot. 1t

The old shoot has produced s110.-

are many leases to be had with $40

HAIR FROZEN OFF
OFCAT7LE; DUCKS
IN YARDS TO FEED

Il have seen things happen this
winter that | have never seen be
fore III the years that | have been
in the country said John Yelland
the other day while in the city.
II saw the hair frozen off Of
cattle's hides and saw ducks come
right up to strawstacks and feed
yards by the hundreds and feed
with the stock. The third remark
able thing this winter was SHEEP
being showed in and without food
for twenty-seven days and live. The
like never was heard of before and
how to account for it do not
know and nobody knows.
1T was February IA. during the
big blizzard, that the snow blew
and matted into the hair on the
sides OF the cows, ard it froZe ane
hung there. Inside of a few days
after the snow had dropped off the
hair peeled right off and l do not
believe that it will ever grow
again, for the hides seem to have
scared and glazed over. showing
that the roots of the hair are gone.
"I have told this to several
stockmen and they said it was par
asites or insects that acted like
scabies or mango, but | know bet
ter. as it happened, as | have told
La .1anIino off III thu
exact spots where the snow had
been frozen into it and the hides
scared"
The water where the ducks usu-
ally winter was frozen over and
remained so. according to Mr.. Yel-
land, compelling them TO seek food
on land They had no other re
course but to go to the straw
stacks and feedyards and live or
such grain and seeds as they could
find.
Many ducks winter in the warm
springs of Spring valley, as rule,
but this time they were crowded
out by ice and snow and ii seems
that instinct failed TO send them
south in time to avoid being caught
in this remarkable storm.
According to Mr.. Yelland many
of them died. probably not from
starvation but from freezing, and
dead mallards and teal were
common sight there.
Mr.. Yelland has been in .he
sheep budiness for more than 4
third of a century, yet never be
fore in his observation has there
been such a circumstance as the
way they pulled through without
food in this storm. But. he says.
more have died than the people
have been told about. and from
now on is when the real losses will
come, big lot OF them in lamb
ing, when the ewes will! be too
weak to mother their lambs ana

thousand. many more than can sur
