II JUMBO
Bonanzas of Wealth Close to Our
Doors.

ED. A~PPEAL:-The writer, in company
with F.. G. Folsom, of his city, ooh a
trip for the purpose of making an inves-
tigation of the p%urported richness of the
marvellous strikes recently made in the
"Jumbo' mining district, situated a
short distance to the North of Carson.
The lodges are gold bearing quartz, rum
ming from a foot to three feet in thick
ness and opening wider, with depth.
The quartz gathered from eight or ten
lodges on different claims show a pros
pect all the way from $50 to $4O0 a on.
The half has not been old in regard to
this new "El Dorado All the men are
On pay rock now that are working in the
shafts and drifts, and recently a shipment
was made worth at least $50 a ton with
three teams hauling.
There are millions of tons of ore lying
at our very doors, containing silver and
gold in sufficient quantities to pay for
working it, as all the indications point to
the fact that in the mountains and val
velvs around Carson, is one of the rich
est mineral belts in the world, and with
the proper energy and capital to develop
it, is hound at no distant date in the
future to forge ahead 10 the position in
the front ranks of the sisterhOod of states
to which it was destined by nature, as
"the greatest producer of gold inc silver
ofany State or Territory in the Union.
Carson is one of the finest cities of this
great West, with its splendid hotel acco-
modations, the best electric light and gas
service on the Coast; it's splendid water
dover and facilities, public buildings
library, its famous Hot Springs, and in
Vulnerable other advantages, and what it
needs most at present is more capital,
more money to be invested in developing
her latent possibilities, combined with a
few more energetic and enterprising
men to take hold of the vast mineral re-
sources lying so close to our very doors
and develop them at once from their dor
mant state, which in itself will give en-
ployment to thousands of idle men
throughout the country, as well as dis
tribute more money to use in our bust
ness.
Let the surrounding country be de-
velopcd for its untold millions of hidden
wealth, and Carson will soon be the
Metropolitan City of this Western coun-
try.
A handful Of gold quartz, picked DIP l>
the writer on the London claim in the
.'Jumbo," showed IN having it horned a
prospect of $500 a ton. 1t is remarkable
that men will undergo the hardships,
face the dangers and terrOrs of the ele-
,n,, 30, ,.,l tIo yNnr - r+r-a+,@, =, ill.,
bleak deserts of the Northwest, in their
search for the precious metals, when
there is such immensely rich ground
lying open for proSpectOrs so close to
home.
Gravel that with the use of the new
gold saving machines will pay from the
grass roots down. One claim on the
Jumbo" there has been al authentic
report, as having had taken out of it,
over two hundred thousand dollars with
a hand mortar.
Talk of your Klondike, what is the
matter with Nevada? With our fine
railroad facilities for hauling ore and
getting wood to the mills, splendid irri-
CATION facilities, fertile agricultural val
leys, etc, there is no reason why future
prosperity should not shine upon us.
The Jumbo mining district lies at the
foot of Mt. Davidson, and to the West of
the famous Comstock Lode, the greatest
known wealth producer in the world.
All the existing conditions point to the
fact that this district is equally as rich
if not in fact, superior in undiscovered
wealth, to this great lode, as the "JumbO''
strike seems to be in fact the mother
lode, running into Mt. Davidson, and the
"Old Comstock," which is in such close
pronoxity. The gold is easily mined
and all free milling or being worth SIC 80
per ounce, with all mining facilities con-
venient and near at hand.
Robert Fulstone and John Bath,
Commissioner Bray, George J.. Parker,
Dave Selby, Jack Wall, Frank G. Folsom
Virgins Bros, and Fred Knoblock, have
taken out good ore, and are among the
owners of this district. Also the Hon,
Tim Dempsey of Carson, who is one of
large holders in this property, and who
will take great pleasure in giving all the
Information possible to those who may
interview him..
Robert FulstOne aud George j.. Parker,
are starting in to erect a mill, as there is
enough ore on the dump to guarantee
the erection of a mill for their own ore
! regard this as one of the most prolniS-
ing districts of the West.
