leopards are classed as vermin, so no

AIL OF THE OPEN
CLAIMS ME LOCATED
RAILROAD LANDS LIMIT RICH
HUMBUG DISTRICT NEAR. ,
YREKA.
YREKA, Cal., March 19. Because
the railroad company owns the remain
ing gronnd, no more mining claims have
been filed in Humbug, iu the vicinity
of the Inyo claim, since tho 7i report
ed previously. Those are supposed to
cover .".II land open to location, although
not all that is supposed to be rich.
The railroad ground surrounds the
now discovery in Humbug, it appears,
and unless legal steps can be taken
that will open the land to the mines tho
preront boom may he limited, although
it will be of immense importance any
way. No further big strikes have been made
on the Inyo claim since yesterday's re
port, but gold continue!; to be taken
"lit in chunks, free from rock, and needs
simply to be melted down and refined.
It comes from a decomposed quartz
formation and needs no milling. As
fast as it, is taken out it is put in bags
and shipped out by express.
The Inyo claim is in but a few feet,
and 100 feet of the gold-hearing forma
tion has been exposed. It is pay dirt
all the way.
The find was made by Charles A.
Mitchell, one of the owners. Walking
along the road he stumbled on a piece
of rock from the ledge, James L. John
stun, one of his partners, followed his
directions and opened the ledge 50 feet
away, on the side of the hill, follow
ing it from the road. Johnston thought
it was but a pocket, when the first
strike was made, it is claimed, and
was for quitting there. J. B. Fair
child, partner of the two, bought John
"ton's interest and now Johnston is
working as a miner for Mitchell and
r'airchild and is getting 5 a day. Min
ers are still scarce and will he imported
to open up the new claims.
It is claimed that .tl.000.niio in gold
has been taken from this part of the
county in the past, vet the mining done
has all been on the surface, except re
cently, when the Mono mine, near the
Inyo, got into the ground a short dis
tanee and is reported to have profit
ed by doing so. There has been no
deep mining done there nt all s far.
The lovo discovery will canoe .so.fs ,
be sunk ami tunnels to be bore to
"pen up th.' riches under th surface.
It has been a pocket country and has
been mined onlv as such.

FIBER SALOON
18 pe
Famous Resort Put Out
of Commission-Attached
in Interest o! Kinney
Oeurge Xeuber's siloou at Jackson
ville, tho most famous resort of its kind
iu Jackson county, was closed by the
sheriff this week, upon an attachment
for 'J!I00 issued on application of Wil
liam l.'urich, recoivor for T. J. Keaney,
insolveut. Kennoy was for many years
a prominent merchant of the county
scut, and one of tho largest creditors of
Xouber, whom ho followed into bank
ruptcy last fall.
Ulrich states that tho reason for clos
ing the saloon was the dismissal of the
receiver of tho Neuber proporty follow
ing tho sale of tlBOO worth of cuttle
and 1172"i other property. Of this
amount $1000 was paid on the Kenney
account, but Ulrieh beliovod that a larg
er sum should have beon forthcoming,
nnd so attached tho saloon in tho In
terest of the Konney creditors. '.
The new'H of thu closing og Neuber "a
historic resort will come as a surprise
to ninny people. George Neuber is one
of the best known und most public-spirit
oil men in southern Oregon and there
is scarcely a miner in the country whom
he has not at some time or other grub
slaked or otherwise befriended. Dur
ing his career ho has thrco times been
in Imiiyruplcy, prior to tho present oc
casion, but each time has worked his
way out of debt and paid up bis cred
itors with usury, although the accounts
had outlowed. His genorosity, extrav
agant habits and extensive investments
in non-producing mining claims in tn
Blue Ledge district, of which he owned
a score or more, nro largely tho cause of
his present financial eclipse which his
friends are confident will bo but tem
porary. In addition to the saloon busi
ness, .Veuber carried on stockraising on
a large scale.
Ulrieh 's account as receiver of tho
Kenney property shows $11,000 cash on
hand, against which aro claims aggre
gating iil,nuo. Kennoy'B total assets
are lintel at 17,000. His principal
creditors are Anton Roso and wife,

SLASHER" MUTILATES
OLOTHINO OP WOMBN
NKW YORK, March 19. Complaints
which are reaching the police indicate
that a "slasher" is agnin at work in
N'ew York. .Several women have re
ported that their garments havo been
cut in the subway station at Forty-eec-c-iicl
street. All eases betray striking
similarity, which makes it appear as
if tin' work were being done by one
man, using tho same sharp knifo. In
most instances the garments cut have
been women's cents, slashed a little to
the loft of the center cf the back, about.
12 inches from the bottom. One woman's,
handsome broadcloth was badly mutilaj
id the suhw-ay yesterday morning. Two
ears ago a "slasher" did similar work,
and while detectives were put on the
i-aie, the culprit was not captured.
