ALL ON WATER
WAGON NOW
Rickard, Cordiner and Marks Agree
to Pay Forfeits For Get
ting Off Vehicle
It is the “water wagon” now for
M. F. Rickard, A. C. Cordiner and J.
R. Marks.
The first one that alights from the
vehicle will have to pay money, and
there is much interest in the outcome.
Owing to their personal popularity
and the frepucncy with which they have
been invited to join in a friendly glass,
they have experienced some difficnlty
in keeping in the vicinity of the “water
wagon” without getting actually upon
it, and so one day Rickard and Cordi
ner agreed to take front seats, way up
on top, with the understanding thst the
one who first dropped the whip would
pay the other $100.
After they had been on the omnibus
a day or two, Marks got wind of the
agreement, and he, too, joined the
happy throng, with the understanding
that he would pay Rickard $50 i*. he
grew tired and vice versa.
All three have now been total ab
stainers for ten days. They seem to
enjoy the arrangement, and it may be
some time before any bets are cashed.

Mizpali district, near Spruce Siding,
have refused an offer of $150,000 cash

and a matter of a hundred thousand or
so does not interest them in the least.
H. C. Herrick says that things are
now in shape for the onward march of
the town of Mizpah, which he believes
will be a very lively place in a short
time.

LEAD KING SHIPS
ORE FROM McGILL
Cars Are Being Filled at the
Smelter Siding By Wagons
From Mine
Shipment of lead ore has already be
gun at Duck Creek. The mine owners
have been prepared for some time to
ship to I ho Sail Luke smelters, but
have been waiting for the completion
of side tracks on the Nevada Northern
for their use. The manager of the
Lead King mine has now arranged with
the railroad company for the handling
of cars from the siding at the McGill
smelter site. The ere is being hauled
from the mine, two miles away, by
wagon, and dumped into cars.
It is intended to continue shipments
steadily as fast as the cars can be ob
tained for transportation to the smel
ters.
Other Duck Creek lead mining com
panies will probably also soon com
mence shipping.
A portion of the Lead King ground
in tho early days was worked for its
extremely high-grade values and from
a very shallow hole the early operator
took several shipments of ore that
averaged above 80 per cent lead. He
left, however, a large amount of rock
that could have been used by him even
under the difficult circumstances then
prevailing, but the present owners are
to reap the rewards, Duck Creek
properties are extremely attractive
propositions, for the reason that their
surfne' disclosures are ideal, and the
Lead King is one of a half score or
more of properties that has gone down
in ore from sunshine.
Adjoining the Lead King mines there
is some excellent ground owned by
parties in Ely from which high grade
galena ore has heen taken almost from
the surface. There is no question but
that extensive operations will began in
the vicinity now that railroad facilities
are offered.
Cuys Interest in Success Group
J. H. Atkins has sold to George W.
Ramble a one-tenth interest in the Suc
cess group of twenty-one mining claims
in the Success district for $175.
Couniy Records Up to Date
County Reoorder Will McKnight is
managing to keep pace with the busi
ness of ids office and the records are
being kept up to date.
Mr. McKnight has reorganized his
working staff and put it upon a thor
oughly efficient basis.
The alti rations in the office are al
most completed. The old counter has
been removed and a new semi-circular
counter put in its place. This gives
more room to persons having business
in the Recorder’s office, without hamp
ering the clerical staff.
CHARGES OF GRAFT
