There is now no longer any ques-
ton regarding the rich discoveries
in the vicinity of Hawthorne and
the Swectwa:er District. The orig
inal gold discovery made by Brad
ley who sol. half his claim to Yer
inCton & Bliss for $4,000 when he
only had a ten-foot hole in the
ground. is turning out better than
Its sanguine owners hoped. They
have already refused $4,000 for it
and the gold in the hole has run a.
high az $40 to the bucket. BY
bucket is meant an ordinary hand
bucket, holding four gallons.
Every BODY in Hawthorne has a
claim, and the stakes are Gown SO
thick that you can walk ont with
out stumbling over them. The
Hawthorne people go about exhibit
ing walls Of eold-dust. taken from
their claims. and it looks as If thc
old times Of '49, when gold dust was
passed oyer the bars for drinks,
were soon to be revived.
At Sweetwater there is another
excitement. and men are hurrying
to the spot from all directions.
They have discovered a number Of
quartz lodges that assay $4,000 per
ton in silver, and new discoveries
are made daily.
If half is true of the stories told
regarding these districts it will give
a new lease of life to the country
east Of Carson, and materially as

will restore the waning prestige of
that section and place the road on
a good, paying basis.
