The Cottonwood nickel and cobalt
mines in Cottonwood Canyon, Church.
i'll county, little south of the Hum
boldt line, are attracting the attention
of French capitalists. The mines in
that section, owned by George Love
lock, are bonded to San Francisco men,
who are negotiating with Frenchmen
for their purchase. One of these mines
has been worked somewhat extensively,
and some 65 tons of the ore sent to
San Francisco sold for over 500 per
ton. The ore is more valuable for the
cobalt than for the nickel it contains,
as cobalt is used for various purposes,
and the principal mines of that ore are
in New Caledonia, French penal colo

Professors Reyes and Hirsh, two noted
mining experts, arrived at Lovelock
from San Francisco, and went to the
