of them will not show $40 per ton, but
they will show enough values to make
the working very profitable. In Oling-
house the Bender g. Smith mine is
known to every miner In the district to
have Is foot ledge that will average
Sc per ton. The Cabin mine, now be-
ing worked by w. C. Williams, is a
gold quarry, milling of 80 tons hav-
ing netted him $584, while he is now
milling IS tons quarried that will net
him $40 to $l2 and he has ledge of
it 70 feet wide that will average SO
per ton. II you don't believe it you
can go there and see it for yourself.
Mr.. Williams is kind enough not to bar
anybody. 1t is taken out in chunks
that weigh from 100 to 200 pounds.
There are thousands of tons of ore
in sight which can be mined for much
less than 25 cents per ton. which was
the cost Of mining the first 100 tons.
The new find conclusively shows that
Olinghouse viii be one of the wonders
of the mining world and one Of the
largest in. the United States. Its fu-
ture is assured. This ledge. Mr.. Will
Jams says. continues across on the
v mine and thence lengthways through
the Hutchinson. He took the Dis
PATCH reporter with him and traced
the ledge to those mines. The deed
to the Hutchinson Is In escrow in the
County Bank in favor Of Den
yer capitalists who have until Decem-
Der lst conclude the deal. II we had
our interest safe in our own hands
again We would not sell 1t for 20 times
the consideration named. 1t stands
John Babcock and William Donaldson
in hand to look after the Hutchinson
extension for the further continuation
Of the big ore body.
1t will require power, as much
the Nevada Power Company can sup
ply for years. to work these mines.
We are finding these mines through
prospecting and experimenting. Wa
shoe county fairly promises to be the
banner county of the State on mines
and mining. The fruition of the OBJ
jects Of the Nevada Power and Trans
portation Company means young
empire in Washoe. The DISPATCH
can readily prove the existence and ex-
tent OF the ore bodies mentioned as be-
ing in Olinghouse and courts investi-
cation by people who are financially
In the new undertaking or
who may become so. We do not
see how we could do more. People
should not desire more than existing
proof and more they cannot have.
The Nevada Power and Transpor-
tation Company, more favorably To-
Gated than Floriston. can furnish pow
er cheaper to the Comstock. but we
opine the new corporation will have
its hands full to supply home demands.
The Reno Reduction Works
continues to enlarge its plant, forced
by necessity and demand. A smelter
Of 500 tons capacity has been ordered.
The new road from the valleys north of
Reno will in all probability be run by
electric power. and from many sec
tions the wide awake capitalist hears
the cries Of communities whose re-
sources suffer for his help and guaran-
tee him profit for his money.
The Pyramid mines offer another
large source for the sale Of power If
they prove success and they mus
have merit to cause work to be COM
menced on such large scale. The
promoters of the Wadsworth Electric
Light and Power Company fell in witt
