GIVING GREAT PROMISE.
Something Regarding the De Lamar
and Adjacent Properties in Ne

DeLamar Lode: Our district recorder
is authority for the information that
there have been, since the organization
of Ferguson district upwards of 800 loca-
tons made, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that all of these are yet valid, since
it has only required one dollar year to
maintain title.
This year it will require a little more
than one dollar to hold a claim, and who
in the district believes that the eXpendi-
ture of upwards of 100000, and nearly all
of this amount between now and January
l, 1896 will fail to develop property equal
in value and Importance to either the De-
Lamar group or the April Fool group.
These claims should cover upwards of
$4,000 acres of land, but they are so in
terwoven and overlapping each other to
such selfish extent that it is very prob
able, should an important discovery be
made at the same moment, stubborn
dispute would arise and capital would
step in, sing a. pretty little song, and be-
come the possessor of the property. Be-
sides the Monitor-Jim Grow and the April
Fool lodges, both running in a northeTly
and southerly direction, and ABOUT 800
feet apart, there may be discovered be-
fore the year 1895 pulls the curtain over
its last days, on either side of these man.
moth properties veins equally as i'm
portant, or there may be some claims
lying Immediately north or south of them
that the assessment work alone may
open up a bonanza. 1t is TO be borne in
mind that little or no work whatever
has been done outside of the DeLamar
and April Fool groups. The April Fool
was encouraging from the surface, and
the Monitor-Jim Crow did not show any
value of any Importance until shafts, ag-
gregating a couple of hundred feet, and
tunnels a like number of feet, had been
done
There are also one or two important
east and west locations. These are i'm
portant because rich assays have been
e
ledge matter is too low grade for the
owners, with their limited capital, to
prosecute prospecting. The theory that
east and west Lodges are of no value or
Importance, where north and south ledg-
es prevail, and vice versa, is all bun
Gold, like water is where it is found.
Capital can do almost anything, and now
that the DeLamar company nave ABOUT
settled the water question by the last
moye-to Meadow Valley Wash-the next
thing is a railroad.
There never was more ENCOURAGEMENT
for a railroad through Lincoln county
than there is now Lincoln county is to-
day virgin in its mines, its soil and its
climate. Nevada today is more capable
of adding to the wealth of the country
than any other territory of the United
States. and Lincoln county is ready TO
guarantee her share. Ptoche, only hftY
miles north of here, and as near to the
most direct line of railroad as we. are. is
today In a peaceful Slumber awaiting the
call for the reconciliation of silver In
the Immediate vicinity of Phoebe are
Bristol, Jackrabbit Highland and Comet
districts, all with their vast deposits OF
silver and lead ores.
Only twelve mile south of Phoebe, and
three miles from the district line of the
surveyed railroad. is the Advance prop
erty in Panaca district, formerly Chief
district Since the purchase of this prop
erty in the spring of this year, it was
worked quite actively until about a
month ago, when it was closed down to
experiment on the best method for hand
ling it's product, which is of a rebellions
nature. This property is listed among
the gold producers, but carries high
percentage of silver.
Twenty-Five miles west of here is Hlko,
at the upper end of fertile Pahranagat
valley and few miles still farther west
is Irish Mountain. Groom, Tom Pahute,
Crescent and Logan districts, all in tneir
collins today waiting the resurrection
morn when the horn that will call to &C
tion Will be the whistle of the iron horse
All the southern part of the county, al
ready famous for it's tropical production
and it's great mineral wealth, is tributary
to the proposed railroad.
r w Palmer commenced work on the
Golden stairs during the week, and IN
tends to do at least the assessment WORK
for the current year. This property is
owned by J. w. Palmer, +. h. DeVLln
and Charles Lytle, and is adjacent on the
north To the Yin Coon.
