The formations at Homsilver embrace granite, quartilte, porphyries, schlat,
alate, shale and lime all known aa mineral-makers.' The quarts dikes are
strong and persistant and similar to those of the Gold Mountain district, just
across the Oranlt Range. The town Is growing as rairtdly aa supplies' and
' building materials can be ahlpped in. and lots on the main street have sold
for as nigh fas 11,000.' Annexes, additions and extensions to the town are be-
. log laid out. The camp is on aalope, making drainage and sanitation easy.
The Russell fcrothers,' Tames and Howard, have worked patiently on their
Oreat Western property for three years and have developed a mine which la
now acknowledged to be one ot the greatest silver-gold properties in southern
Nevada. For months past they have been shipping by mule team a 16-ton
load every other day of ore running from $150 to (200 per ton.' This ore was
taken from above the 100-foot level, but yesterday the ore-body was entered
In a ouMisout from the 200 level, and shows a magnificent vein of shipping ore.
WlthlrfU stone's throw of the Oreat Western engine-house, on the Friable
lease, ore has been found at a depth of 12 feet which runs over $2,000 per
ton. On the Peyllng claim of the Russell boys' Silver King claim the Deane
lease has a ledge running from $50 to $100 on the- surface.
In at least a dosen places shipping ore has been opened up and a number
of owners are making preparations to ship, as a considerable quantity of shlp-
?lng ore, all of which has been taken out In development, la sacked and ready
or the sampler. If teams can be had it is probable that there will be seven or
eight shippers by July 1.
Officials of both the Brock and Clark railroads have been looking: over the
field and siting up the avaUabiatonnage with a view to building a branch
road, probably from near Cuprite, to the new district. The owners of claims
have adopted a most liberal plan of leasing, the royalty rate being; generally
IB per cent flat and the term at least 1$ months. A number of prominent
Ooldfield operators have secured properties or leases In the district and a live
ly,, campaign ot development Is scheduled for the Immediate future.

One-halt of the Friable lease from
the Silver King Mining Company on the
Red Top claim at Homsilver was sold
today for $10,000. The sale was made
to Johnny Hook, a well known Colorado
mining man, who has been In the dis
trict for a short time looking over the
mining1 properties there. The news was
telephoned to Ooldfield today to How
ard Russell, -who has extensive Inter
ests at Hornsilver.
The Hornailver situation Is looking
up In a very gratifying manner, and
the future of the camp seems assured.
Five leases have ben let lately on
Lime Point ground. Three were taken
by H. Fred Scott, who la working In
the IS 50-foot Shaft of the company own
ing the Lime Point ground, and who
has contracted to put In a 26-horse-power
gasoline hoisting engine within
SO days .
No. 4 lease was let to Mrs. Dr. Francis

shares by Saturday night. The stock

A representative of the Tribune made
a trip yesterday by auto to Hornsilver,
and . passed no less than 1 5 wagons
headed for the new mecca, all of them
loaded with material needed In a new
camp.
The Oreat Weatern Is the big mine
of i the camp,' and the ore has been
struok at the 200-foot level, and It Is
wider and richer than In any of the
upper levels. Steady shipments are be
ing made. ;
In the past month there has been
a rush to the comparatively new dis
trict, and In it there was some of the
wisest prospectors and mining inves
tors who ever went into a new mining

For- miles around- the original find the

more than one of the ahallow shafts
better ore than that mined on the Ureat
Western Is being taken out . Yesterday,
by actual count, there were 110 tents
and frame houses in the town.
One of the best showings Is on the
Friable lease on the Red Top, one ot
the properties owned by the Silver
King company. At a depth of 22 feet
there Is showing two fet of quarts, and
it la all high-grade. From picked sam

"On the Tiger Butte Mining Company's property, assays were obtained

foot incline shaft there is an eight-foot ledge. All the mining men that have
seen this are sure that It is the same ore body which the Oreat Weatern Is
now shipping, running $10,009 to the car, and It Is lust a question of sinking

(Ooldfield Chronicle Mar 1.
Judge J. W. Deane has returned from Homsilver, where he has secured
some excellent ground on the Deyllng claim of the Silver King property, owned
by James and Howard Russell. On this lease shipping ore Is In sight at the
surface, values of from $50 to $100 being found on the fine quarts leads
traversing the ground. When seen by a Chronicle reporter today, Judge
Deane said regarding his trip and the new district;
"I traversed an extensive field. The Hornsilver region ia big enough to
make many mines, and the Oreat Western will repeat itself undoubtedly in a
score of places. The region lies at the south end of that extensive flat area
lying between Jackson mountain and Stonewall, a fine stretch of desert 20
miles square. What a farm It will make some day when the waters shall be
pumped from below to make fruitful the surface I
- ''At the south end of this flat there Is an uplift extending IB miles north
and south and 10 miles east and west. The Granite Range bounds It on the
east and Mount McOruder on the west It Is less than a dosen milea to the
town of Llda.
"The formations are all that oonld be desired and embrace ' granite,
quartxite, porphyries, schist elate, shale and lime all the great mineral-makers
conspicuously present The quartzes In which the ores He are- strong and
persistent. The same conditions obtain In the Gold Mountain district,, from
which Hornsilver is separated b? the Graolte range. -
"This eourajreoua labor of the Russell boys and their associates, carried
on In spite of discouragements, disastrous forebodings and the flat dictum
ana

finest grade of ore of Its class ever mined in the whole
Bierra country.
"It takes time and the unremitting- endeavors of such men as James Rus
sell to accomplish results in such a region and to point the way for others. .
Three years without let-up have these boys kept to what the' majority es
teemed a hopeless task, and one full look at James Russell would con vines
that if three more should have been required they would have been given.
It la another Instance where one can with the poet "Thank God for my un
conquerable soul.' .
"Of the land that no other seemed to very much want they have taken
Knerous helping, and they are generoua In the employment of it, granting' fair
Lses to those whonow can see the way, and with the result that almost

v i ' Mystery Cleared TJp' . '. u
Oresden, May .At last the Meyer
Hng mystery, -has been cleared tip. A,
court official, who conceals his identity
under the pen name of "an Austrian
aristocrat. " has written en 'lntimate his
tory of "The tragic end of Crown Prince
Rudolph," from the advartoa sheets of
which ths following relaUoo ia taken
The new book proves conclusively that
the Baroness Marie Vetsera was not
killed by the crown prince, but that aha
committed suicide by potsonr that the
crown prince killed himself In a fit
of semi-drunken, semi-insane remorse
and that this double tragedy was pre
ceded by another.
Much of the atory is substantiated by
transcripts of the last letters written
by ths Crown Prince Rudolph and the
Baroness Marie Vetsera. 1 These letters
were copied from the originals In the
secret archives of the Austrian imperial
family by Count TJgarte of Rome,-the
husband of Marle'a youngest sister
who also committed suicide In 1901.
These things being clearly stated, the
book tlisn describes the last days of
the lllfated lovers as follows: .-
On January 7, 1889, a papal delegate
presented hfrfiself In the court mar
shal's office of the Imperial Hofburf.
He brought lettera from Pope Leo XIIL
setting forth that he was authorised
to communicate with his msjssty. the
Emperor Francis Joseph, uirect and
without the knowledge of the , papaj
nuncio accredited In Vienna :
; Bmperor Amassd.
The emperor's amaaement - knew- ne
bounds when he learned for the first
time from the pope's . letter that the
holy father was advising Crown Prince
Rudolph, through his majesty, that it
waa impossible for the Vatican to grant
the prince Imperial the divorce he waa
seeking at the pontiff's feet Francis'
Joseph waa still more amaaed when the
pope quoted a letter - from the crown
prince also asking a separation." .
. When the emperor had finished read
ing the pope's letter he sent for his
brothers. Archduke Alhrecht and Karl
Ludwig, the. prince bishop of Vienna,
Dr. Gangibauer, and Rudolph. Re asked
the 'elder gentlemen to be seated, then
facing Rudolph, both standing under
the Igreat central chandelier of the lib
rary, he read the pope's .epistle with
irreat ' solemnity. y
Rudolph listened to Pope os let.
ter with varying emotiona Surprise,
resentment, fear, were alternately pic
turedi on his countenance. Then, over
corn by smotlod he threw himself Ints
his father's arms and promised on his
honor to accept the pope's advice, re
turn to his wife and break with Baron
ess Vetsera- Following his father's in
vitation hs at once repaired to the crown
princess to beg her pardon for his long
neglect and assure her that his love had
returned and that thereafter he would
honor her as wife and mother.
Btepheay was overcome with Joy,
"Then you accompany me to ths dinner
party at Reus?" she asked.
Kadolph Promlstl,
Rudolph kissed her end said he would
be only too happy. Two hours later
Prince Rous' guests were discussing the
reconciliation of the long estranged
couple and before she -went to bed that
night Stepheny telegraphed to King
Leopold: ''Tour daughter is once more
happy. Heaven be praised,"
Before leaving. Prince Rous, Rudolph
and Stepheny Issued Invitations for a
dinner to be held January i, when the
reooneiliatloa was to be officially cele
brated. Next morning (January SI), Rudolph
announced to his wife that he- had pre
viously mads arrangements to hunt at
Meyerling, Prince Philip of, Coburg,
Count Joseph Hoys and others being
his guests.
"But I will be back tomorrow sfter
noon.'' he assured his wife. '
Inthe meantime the baroness heard
the story of the reconciliation. Sha
immediately communicated with ' one
Bratfieson, the cabman who always
drove Adolph when the latter did not
want to be seen la his own carriage,
' . ; Bands Xtsa.
Bratflesoh Informed the ' baroness
that he had orders to drive Rudolph to
his hunting box. "Five hundred gulden
if you will take this letter to him, and
five hundred more if you return with
orders to bring me to the Meyerling,"
sai l the baroness. '
' Bratflesch earned the thousand gold
en and in doing so sealed the - death
warrant of the three. . ' " t
The hunting party at Meyerling was
much disappointed on Tuesday morning,
January S6, . whsa Rudolph- Informed
his friends that a eold prevenrsd him
from partkjtpating la the chase. At
about the time when the hunters left
for the forest Baroness Mary entered
Bratfiesch's cab In Vienna and was rap
idly driven away in the direction of the
auburb. The lovera met at a oroas
road, about a mile from Meyerling. and
drove to ths hunting lodge together.
rtuaoipn ana siarie entered tne
green parlor of the lodge on the sec
ond floor and some time later the
crown prince dispatched -the following
telegram to Stepheny': "Sorry 1 can't
come; am Indisposed, but It Is nothing
serious. .' Love, Rudolph."
Mother learns of Trip.
In the meantime Baroness Marie's
mother sad learned of her daughter'a
trip and had called upon Count Taaffe,
tfien prime minister, demanding that he
cause the crown prince to send home
her daughter. T beseech your excel
lency," said the mother.- "to rescue my
little gtxl -from the clutches of this be
bauohed man." -
Fearing that the minister might not
act, the Baroness Vetsera drove to her
brother the hanker Baltassi. and asked
him to go to Mayarling and bring back
Maria Baltassi . ordered ths fleetest
four-ln-Iiand from hia stables and start
ed off at breakneck speed.
- Baltassi - burst-' into- the green salon
while bis niece -was imploring the crown
prince not to forsake her. particularly
aa she was In . a - delicate condition.
Hearing this, the uncle flew Into a rage
and swore that Rudolph must keen his
promise to the girl, adding that If he
refused he (Baltassi) would Inform the
emperor anA all the world that Rudolpji
had broken his word of honor by onoe
more receiving Marts In his house.
"Don't talk of honor; it sounds badly
In ths mouth- of a procurer!" shouted
Rudolph. . . - - -- , -'.: - ..'i. .
-- The banker at ' once jumped fr his
throat The crown prince tore himself
loose, seised ..a revolver- and shot Marie's
uncle in the abdomen, lust as one of
the hunting arty. Count Hoyos. n

prince from the room. Iloyoj summoned
several trusted servants and with their
aid carried the wounded man to in up

on the bed and removed his cloth
Hoyos saw at ones that the man was
doomed. So hs ordered Bratflesch to
fetch a priest, while the crown prince's
body physician attended to the wound,
. Drink Deeply. ' A
Less than 10 minutes after her vnole
was wounded to death, Marie sat down
to dinner with her slayer and the hunt
ing party, a dinner at which every one
drank deeply. About midnight the
crown prince announced that his cold
compelled him to withdraw, and ordered
Bratflesch to drive the baroness to ths
Royal hotel in Baden. This was done
for decorum. After all had 'taken leave
of Marie, she slipped up the stairs and
into Rudolph's apartments. :
The crowns prince, who had . drunk
very heavily; soon fell asleepv while Ma
rie sat up thinking of her disgrace.
She leaned out of the window and saw
the room where the doctor was working
over the prostrate fcjrm of her uncle.
If he died, and he waa sure to die, she
had overheard his blood waa on her
head. . ' ;
The baroness took front her purse a
tiny phial of poison she had oanied
Then with a pencil she wrote on a block
