THE EVENING NEWS.

WALKER LAKE MINES. = During tn,
past few months many argentiferous 10
~calities have been discovered in the limits
of our silver-bounded State, and among
the number, of which but little has beer
said, is the Walker Lake District, situated
ninety-four miles from Carson, and twenty
miles east of the East Walker river, neal
Walker Lake, a saline and sulphurou:
body of water thirty miles in length an6
about seven miles wide. From our friend
Major w. Z. Hale we, in casual CONVEX.
sation, cleaned the following facts relative
TO this new district: Leaving the Carson
and Placerville road at Genoa, it is fifty.
four miles to W~ellington's station, through
a rough and broken country, with the
characteristic sage-brush in abundance,
Wellington's station is the main branch
depot for the mines, and is q most excel
lently conducted institution. Flom Wei
lington's station to the mines the distance
is forty miles, over a fine road, with here
and there ample accommodation for man
or beast. The principal mine in the dis.
trict is the pride Of the Lake" rich in
silver, and with groupings from three to
ten feet in hight. This claim was located
last August, and we saw an assay from
Conrad Wiegand Of ore from the groupings
that exhibited 1896 40 in silver to the ton.
The ledge is from eight to ten feet in width
and we'll defined, and with the facilities
for working will prove a valuable prop
erty to the fortunate locators. The Walk
er Lake Company, instituted by Tom
Williams, Colonel Cradlebaugh, Senator
Haynes and Others, comprises u series OF
thirty-four lodges, among the principal
of which is the Cradlebaugh, Gold Lake,
Oph,r and Copper Ring, the latter Of
which is enormously rich in copper ore.
On the lodges several tunnels from twenty
five to forty feet in length have been run,
cutting veins of ore that vary in width
from ten to twenty feet. The prospects
of the Walker Lake Company are most
brilliant, and we trust that each owner
will realize a fortune. At q distance OF
two miles from the mines is al unlimited
supply Of wood, and where a town-site
has been 'laid out" a fine stream of pure
water comes from the mountains, sufh-
cient in quantity to supply the wants of a
large population. The water of the lake
near by is Of such chemical properties that
IL will be most valuable as an amalgamat-
ing agent, and will doubtless prove a great
economy to mills il properly applied.
Vigorous work will be done in the district
the coming winter, and we hope that an
other ally Of wealth may be added to Ne
vada's giistening bullion cohorts.
