Mr.. Lane IL a conversation regarl-
ing the sale had the following 10 say
yesterday:
The nmO that we have pnr"h ased
the Buckeye mines in Nevada is prac-
, ticallv true. We have taken a $4,000
bond on the properly and Will t,av the
fixed price, $4,000, tn" lst Of June.
] am ready to say as a matter OF fact
that he sale is as good az mato, and
that va are ready 70 back the mines
with our capital,
mo time will be lost in dev"l y e
the ore bodies that We knowexis' h e.
and we will run water A. miles f. m
the head Of the Carson river to va k
the gravel beds. Just what the cost

prepared to Say, ds W. have not vet
begun the survey, but | am under the
impression that it will be in the neigh
Dor hood Of $50, 900.
1T is possible that others aside from
! Mr., Hayward will become interested
and that We will open up a great DIAL
OF the mining lands, which are very
rich in that section. [ do not care t.
create undue excitement in a matter
of this kind AMI would prefer 20 have
as little to say o. il as possible. buy we
will loose no time in getting at the

fine ourselves to one section. r. the
country is as rich as it appears to be

critics. We have faith in Silver Lake
district and will spend money to de-

what an immense body Of rich ore
there is there, and the old COmstOck
will have an associate that will Guido
it completely. All it requires is CAPT

Lane, Hayward and others havetaken
hold Of it the requisite cash is at hand

General Oliver Roberts, the third
man to locate in Silver Lake mining
district, is now living in San Fran
cisco and was interviewed at his resi-
dence, 1903 Broadway yesterday.
II have always ~contended." said the
General, that the mines in the Pine
Nut mountains are a part of the Com
stock lode, as it IS well defined all
along the line from Virginia City to
the Pine Nut mountains and extends
even into Alpine county. The lode
runs north and south and crosses the
Carson river above and below Mark
leville, there being two forks of the
stream. We all know what the Com
stock has done ia its bullion output.
but il does not necessarily follow that
it was the best deposit Of mineral
bealing ore that there was. Perhaps
those who thought they had found
the best and biggest body Of ore in the
West were only working n end Of
something that was and is much bet
ter. I am familiar with the COmstock
and also Silver Lake district: there
fore [ am able to judge with reasou-
able Intelligence of the relative merits
of the two places. The former is a
sample Of what can be done with a
sufficient amount of capital to guar
antee development. The latter is a
sample Of how a great deal of time
can tie lost when everybody is trying
to howl a good country down.
Il received a letter today from my
partner, Mr.. Sargent. who informs me
that Carson has a broad grin and
that the whole country around the
new camp is beaming with satisfac-
ton at the arrival of capital.
The district is about twenty-seven
miles from the capital Of Nevada and
is surrounded by an agricultural and
mining country that is in good condi-
ton to receive the benefits Of a boom.
Good roads run from Carson to vari-
Ous points in the district, and from
Fast accounts the travel is increasing.
There is yet a good deal of unpros-
pected country and miners are begin
