The Midas Gold Fields.

The Austin Reveille says: DIR.
Huntsman, who recently visited the
Midas, Nye county, gold fields, says
there is gold there in abundance. The
men in Dry Gulch have taken out
a great deal of dirt and will haul it to
lone canyon to sluice it. The pay dirt
is covered over with about one foot
of coil, and after this is removed it
is four feet to bedrock. The men
have not worked any below bedrock,
which is composed of tough clay.
On the strength of the new dicov-
cry Frank Bradley and W. McLaine,
located the large ledge in lone can
yon which is between fifty and one
hundred feet wide. This ledge is in
plain sight of the road and crops out
for great distance, but has always
been considered worthless by all who
examined it. The locators of this
ledge have found gold in every sam
pie. They have found also gold in
the dirt near the ledge.
The main drawback to the new dis
covery is the scarcity of water and we
advise people not to become excited
over the find until futher developments
are reported. If the sand is rich
enough to haul to water it is a bonanza,
if not, keep away.

The RuIe Contract.

The San Francisco Report says that
the contract of James G.. Rule with
the Con. Virginia Company will ex-
pire on June l. The portion of the
mine covered by the contract has been
explored very thoroughly and system
atically, but up to date no ore body
has been found. Others say that Mr..
Rule was delayed two weeks in start
ing, therefore he will be allowed two
weeks further time after June l.
Should he have the good luck to show
up indications of approach to his
promised bonanza, he will doubtless
be given further time by the Con. Va.
company. He certainly does persist
in the assertion that the mystical bo-
nanza is there and that he can find it.
