Show LUCK OF DAN CONNORS. ' A man named Dan Connors is the new hero of Searchlight, Nev. For two years' he has been slowly driving a tunnel into his property near Newberry, New-berry, a mile and a quarter north of that- camp. He has lived and worked alone, but ever confident of ultimate success. The group contains three claims and ttte vein is traceable for their entire lighth. On th surface samples taken across eight feet have given as high as $30 to tbe ton, but in driving the tunnel tun-nel he has never bad, until last week, more than small bunches of ore, the formation being broken and the vein not in place. - In the prosecution of the work of development de-velopment Dan dfore a total of 225 feet, all alone, and many times without a particle of immediate encouragement, as tbe drift frequently showed no values val-ues whatever. Finally, however, last Friday evening tbe shots disclosed in the face of the tnnnel a solid mass of sulphide over its entire width that yields $150 per ton. -"Yesterday I would have sold out for a song," ne said the next day,. "but now tbe man that wants tbe property must pay for it."- Tbe mine is regarded as one of tbe richest and biggest in the Searchlight region since the crosscut has reached the bonanza bodies. - ; .
