OLD LIBERTY
A camp With a Past History And
Future Promise.

Leaven of Tonopah's prosperity is
spreading over the adjoining country
to such an extent that long forgotten
and overlooked mines are being re-
juvenated, brought to the front and
their merits exploited.
An instance of this nature is the
Liberty mine and adjoining pros
poets, situated about u miles north
of Tonopah. Mr. Butler, the dis
doverer of Tonopah has said that it
was the knowledge of the former
richness of the Liberty ores and the
extensive production of the camp
which led him to seek an extension of
the Liberty formation and lodges to
south and which resulted in the dis
covery of Tonopah.
Certain it is that the old mine has
Welded large amount of the pre-
cious metals, both gold and silver, the
exact amount being difficult to deter
mine, but estimated in the neighbor-
hood of one million dollars. The fact
that the principal value of the ore
was in silver was what led to the
closing up of the mine with the de-
probation of that metal
The remains of old machinery,
hosting works, etc, on the ground to-
gether with the 100 foot shaft, the
great drifts and slopes connect
ed Herewith, and the large dumps,
all bear eloquent testimony to the
past productiveness.
The county in the vicinity of the
old mines is well mineralized and at
tractive to the prospectors. A mile
to the north is mountain composed
entirely of quartz, The formation Of
the country is lime and porphyry
with numerous lodges more or less
well defined.
There is quite little work being
done in the camp at the present il
the way of development Harris
and Lambert some time ago relocat
ed the old Liberty mine, which is sait
to contain pillars of ore in the ole
cropings which carry values as higl
as $400 per ton. They have bonded
their property to Colorado parties
represented by Mr., Lsh, for gooC
figure.
L. A. Green and Clay Peters owl
the extension of the Liberty mine
upon which lodges containing orr
carrying values as high as Sll9 pei
: ton have been opened up by prospec
work Phillips and Maunder have q
, fine looking prospect in the near vi
entity, which yields ore carrying higl
values in gold, silver and copper.
Liberty is an adjunct to Tonopah
and its development into producer
means added prosperity to the camp
. The facilities are good for the work
ing of the ore, both wood and waite
being close at hand in sufficien
quantity. ..,.......

FIRST FATAL ACCIDENT
Anthony Dunn, a Miner, Aet,s a
Horrible Death.

On Thanksgiving morning at 1880
o'clock a gloom was cast over our
populace, by the announcement that
AnthonylDunn, or "Tony" Dunn, had
been killed in the Cutting g. Brown
shaft.
From the facts evinced at the Cor
oners jury it appears that the shift
had descended the ladder and on
reaching the 100 level had stepped
from the ladder and gone to their
respective places of work Tony
Dunn and his partner who were work
ing in the bottom Of the shaft, 60 feet
below the l00-level, had gone into the
drift at this level for candles and re-
turned to the shaft to again take the
ladder TO the bottom. Dunn was ahead
of his partner and was about twenty
feet below the level when his com
panion emerged from the drift he
saw the bucket rapidly descending
the ladder which is used for the track
upon which it runs Dunn's partner
grabbed the bell cord and gave stop
bell, but the rapid motion of the
bucket and the short distance it had
to travel before overtaking Dunn it
was impossible for the top man to
stop the tub The rim of the buck
ct struck poor Tony Dunn on the left
side of the head cracking the skull
wide open and forcing the brains
from the cavity. After the blow the
unfortunate! fell backwards and to
the bottom of the shaft.
The Coroners jury care fully ascer-
tanning all the facts rendered the fol
lowing verdict:
We, tho undersigned, the jurors
summoned to appear before Clay
Peters, Justice of the Peace and ex
otficio Coroner of Tonopoh Township,
Nye County, Nevada, on the 28th day
of November, 1901. to inquire into
the death of A. ,J<Dunn, having been
duly sworn according to law, and
having made such inquisition, after
inspec ting the body and hearing the
testimony adduced, upon our oaths,
each aud all do say, that we find the
deceased was named Al. Dunn, that
he came to his death on the 28th day
of November, 1901, through accident,
which accident we believe was largely
due TO the fact that the rules and
regulations governing the operation
of the lease in which the accident oc-
CURED were insufficient for the safety
of the men working therein.
All of which we duly certify by this
inquisition, in writing, by us signed
this twenty eight day of November
