the Olinghouse mines is between 5000
or $500 and that the figures can easily
be su~bstantiated. Work is retarded by
storms and extreme cold weather at
present and has been for some time past,
so we may reasonably conclude that
with the coming OF Spring the search for
gold will increase, work will be done on
old locations, new locations and finds
viii be made and ~Olinghouse will rank
with the prosperous camps OF the State.
One would not think that twenty-five
miners are now at work on the various
claims up in the hills, but nevertheless
that number are there, besides the
Chinaman working placer ground.
There are about fifteen Cinnamon at
work. With the weather such as it is
and twenty-five men at work, in the
Spring we look for four times that mum
Der to be employed.

from $50 to $40 per ton.
Sommers is taking ore from the sur
face of the Morning Star claim which
promises to turn into a paying property.
1t is more than paying its way at
present.
Poole & MacEchern are piling up
what they call common stuff and
mortaring out $500 or $400 OF pocket
rock found in the ledge. The pocket ore
gives them from IS to $40 per pound.
The pocket they struck a few days ago
is the second they have found in the
shaft which is only about ten feet deep.
The first pocket netted them over 5000
and the second will give them more than
that. They have shown some of the
handsomest gold specimens that ever
came from the bowels of the earth, and
are doing a big share to encourage others
to dig and capital to become interested
in the baby gold camp OF Nevada.
Brooks McClane and his men have
met with great success in placer mining
near his cabin in the main canyon. He
found one nugget OF $40 20 value and one
rocker yielded 1923 81. The aforesaid
nugget is rough and evidently did not
travel very far.
Luke Kearney and Joe Effricks are at
the mines and will camp there for the
Winter to be ready for work in the
Spring. They are experienced miners
and that they have faith in the camp
speaks a good word for it.
J.. J.Quinn and Charlie Taylor OF Reno
have two men at work in their White
Horse mine running a tunnel that will
cut the ledge at a depth of 200 feet.
About 500 feet of work has been done on
this claim and ore ranging from 800
into the hundreds has been found. The
extent is not known but the develop
ment work will soon tell and the owners
arenot much on the talk until they
know for sure what they have.
DIR. Jackman is at work on the ROYAL
and can take out ore whenever he want
to.
The Broncho shows up we'll with "a
inches of low grade ore.
Messrs Lindsay and Moss who spent
several days inspecting the Jim Blaine.
said, on leaving here, that they would
return soon. If the managers OF the
property would listen to reason there is
no doubt that the Blaine could be OPEN
ed up any day. At least we gathered
that from the talk of a number OF min
ing men who have visited the mine.
w. G. Williams has been working
steadily at his placers and is taking out
more than wages.
In fact everything points to a season
of activity in O%linghouse next Spring.
The best posted mar in regard to the
camp and its mines is W. d. Linton and
when he is at liberty to do so he gives
all the information he can. His opinion
based on the gold bars he sends out, is
very encouraging. Gold bars, however,
are substantial evidences.
