Nevada's New Silver Camp.

A letter was received this morning
from Greedy Clack, who recently de-
parted for the new mining camp of
Tonopah, Nevada, dated Aug. IL. He
says that himself and Ken. Britting-
ham arrived In the camp after hard
trip across the desert. He found many
Mohave county boys there and all ap-
peared to be making money. Among
these we're S. d. Forman, William For
man, William Debeque, Horace Adams,
Andy Hance, David Long, Gurley
Jones and many others. While not
having time to make personal exami.
nation Of the mines he was told that
the ores ran away high in silver with
some gold. The principal mine is the
Mispah, which was recently sold for
33S,000S. Leasers are working the
property, it being tied up to them un-
til January first. The vein is from one
to seven feet thick aud the ore will
average 30OS just as broken down. Yes
tenday Sam Forman showed him a
copy of an assay, which he said was
not taken from picked piece, that
gave the following result: Gold, 1856
ounces; silver, 3l7S ounces. Ores so
far sold gave return of 92,000S; ores
in transit, 250,000s; ores on the dumps,
l3O,OO0s, is the way the miners figure
the product of the mines so far. No
stopping has been done and when work
is commenced in the slopes the output
will be increased TO double the present
shipments. The deepest shaft in the
camp is now only 100 feet, the Others
being less than 80 feet. Leases have
been let on fifty foot blocks of ground
and these are selling from l,U00S ia
5,00OS each.
The camp has about 900 inhabitants
There are seven boarding houses, seven
saloons, three stores aud one livery
stable. Some very good buildings have
been erected. Money is spent freely
in the saloons and the sporting ele.
ment is well represented. Wages are
As per day, water three cents gallon
wood l5S per cord and board S.75s per
week. There are few men out of work
aud he says he is going to work in the
morning. When the leases are com.
pleted and the companies take hold OF
the properties there will be room for
many workingmeD. But just at pres
ent he would advise anyone with a
few thousand dollars to come here
and lease on the mines.
The distance is 50 miles to railroad
and teams are getting 20s per ton for
freight in aud 15s for ore out.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the value of ores, as men who have
made an examination of the camp say
that there are thousands of tons of ore
that will average 20s on the dumps.
OF course new camp must get start
and it is generally by exaggeration
that people are induced to flock in
There are good ores, undoubtedly, in
the new camp, but we would advise
Mohave county miners to remain at
home; we have more and better mines
here than have the camps of the Ne
vada desert. When Mr.. Clack gets q
better insight into the mines of Ton
opah he will probably find them like
those of White Hills, much low grade
and enough high grade to keep the
leasers in good spirits.

Thomas Ewing, formerly general
manager Of the New England and Ari-

mining companies, is In Boston trying
to effect deal looking, to the consoli-

reopening Of the mines. 1t Is Mr.. Ew-
ing's intention, should the deal be con
summated, to install water wheels in
the Colorado river Tor the generation
of power to operate the mines and
mills. The company will probably de.
fer to Mr.. Ewing's views and the effort
to solve the problem OF cheap power
on the river made. The mines would
undoubtedly become big payers were
il not for the fact that fnel is very dear
in that section aud that some cheap
power will have to be obtained before
the mines become financial snccess.

body of very rich gold ore has been
opened up. 7. L. Ayres, the former
