successful mining engineers in the West.
Building continues all over town and
some very neat residences are being built,
Mrs Duponts large, two story lodging
house at the upper end of town, will be the
most attractive, both from its location and
size. 1t is expected that the large opera
house which is to be built on Shaffer and
Martins lot, will be started in a short time.
The DeLamar Co. mill, with the additions
being made, is truly busy scene. The
large force of men employed, and the con.

like these in camp, will make it the best
mining town in Nevada. 1t will only take

it is a greater property than the Comstock
ever was, The ore body is said to be 200
feet wide
Good reports continue to come from the
State Line and Eagle Valley district. Mr..
Chas, Lyle, one OF the heaviest owners in
that locality, arrived in town few days
ago, and reports that the coming summer
will develop some of the richest mining
claims ever discovered in southeastern
Nevada and over the line in Utah. The
Lynch and Sullivan claims are improving
every day, and as soon as the roads are in
good condition large shipment Of very high
grade ore will be sent to the Salt Lake
market.
Four or five days ago Messrs. Emerson
and MCGOWAN returned from an extended
prospecting trip in the southern country.
They bring with them samples of what
promises to be the largest copper mine ever
discovered in the State of Nevada. The
ledge, which is from 80 to 40 feet in width
extends for over two thousand feet in
length, the assays from them go from 81 per
cent. to 10 per cent copper, The find has
caused quite an excitement, they are in
Lincoln county and about nine miles this
side of the Colorado river, and about 25
miles from the Vegas ranch. The gentle.
men will return to the mines in few DAYS
with supplies to thoroughly open up this
property, and also to ship ore by the Colo.
RADIO river by boat, which they can do easily
as it is down grade from the mines to the
river.
