Free Press: New York capitalists
are examining the famous Oest gold mine
at Silver City, Lyon county, and ne
gotiations for a sale are pending, The
price asked for the property Is $780,
900, and should a transfer of the prop
erty be made it will be developed on an
extensive scale by the purchasers,
whose plans include draining the prop
erty and opening up the now flooded
levels, where large bodies of high grade
ore are located.
John w. Mackay, who has been in
specting the Blair mines at Silver Peak,
returned to Hawthorne last week and
in reply to an inquiry made by the Bull
letion of that place said: There is a
big country and there seems to be lots
of quartz. But the quartz is low grade
and it will require the outlay of a large
amount OF money before anything can
be realized, The conditions at Silver
Peak are all u~nfavorable for cheap
mining. Wages are high, supplies are

WHATS THE MATTER WITH
GoED'CREEK:'F

Tho ugh there are doubtless gold
mines, both in gravel and quartz, in
the Gold Creek cointry in northern
EIko, people are beginning to wonder
why the min@ of that SECTION are
not producing some Of the yellow,
metal. That the quartz mines. are not
producing is nota surpris. as there are,
as yet. no reduction works IN the dis
tict, but why the placer mines are
not yielding dust il they are anything
near so rich as reported, Is somewhat
astonishing. Tbs season has been
unusually favorable for placer min
ing. Tho snow fall last winter was
above normal in the Gold Greek
country. Water has been abundant
as the snow melted during the spring,
yet, though within a few weeks If
midsummer, we have looked in vain
in the columns Of the Gold Creek
News Tor shipments Of bullion or
gold dust. Why is this so? Are, the
Gold Creek piacefs producing no
gold whatever at a n OF the year.

Ample Room For ColouIsts In Nevada.
II is predicted that soon there will he
large migration to the West from
the more densely populated parts Of
the East. II is said that tile East is
turning it's eyes. toward the West
for relief fron the diverse con-
ditions winch have depressed business
there.
Al present the movement takes the
f0rhifOf an effort to organize colonies
for settlement in the far West. En-
perience has shown that this is tho
best way to settle lev localities in the
arid region. In Il country where irri-
CATION is necessary there must he co.
operation III the construction of ditch
es or reservoirs which are beyond tho
means OF individual enterprise. Col
'onists can thus unite their forces and
open up IN arid section, where it
would be impracticable for u settler
acting alone to do anything.
For colonies OF this kind there ia
ample room in the Far Wcs:. Nc
vada'bas valleys that contain u large
amount nf ]unoccupied land. In
some eases this land, OF part Of il, is
already under ditch, but uncultivated
for lack OF population. In others

water needed. In case a colony
should select such ii valley for settle
mentr it would not be difficult to SO
cure capital TO construct whatever
bitches might be required.

II has repeatedly been proposed to
make use of the enormous power issu-
ing from the sun in the shape of heat
ruys. What enormous of labor
is done by the sun OH this eaIth alone
is evidenced in part by the circulation
Of water OH the earth's surface. Every
day the heat Of the.Spn turns into
vapor n large amount If water on all
the watery surfaces, and these rising
,apors arc far above us converted into
clouds, which the cool currents Of air
carry overland to countries which arc
not blessed with plenty Of the fluid
element, and upon further condensa-
ton the clouds in the shape of rain
fall upon the earth. In smaller or
larger quantities water streams again
toward the sea, and during this course
man undertakes to withdraw from the
water part OF the stored-up power Of
the sum-, using it for industrial pur-
poses. The Paris meteorological, Prof.
Mctericht, estimates the quantity Of
water turned into vapor by the sun in
the Mediterranean sea alone on q clear,

600, 900 tons. AT hat rate the quantity
