is In HUMBOLDT.
A Correspondent Says Donneily Mountain Is
in This County.

IN ihiS County.
1t will be much to the benefit of Hum
boldt county that the fact has been es-
tablished that the Donnelly mountain
district is in Humboldt county. Frank
lok, who bought a promising mining
claim for himself and partners from
Murray q Raiser, arrived in camp Sun
day and informed the people that he
had looked up the records both in Wa
shoe and Humboldt counties and found
miles and a fraction west of Donnelly
mountain division Peak, as d~esnigated
on the maps). This will make it neces-
sary to do all the recording of this dis
trict at Winnemucca, the county seat
of Humboldt.
a town of 500 inhabitants in eight
months and much taxable property will
be added to Humboldt's assessment roll.
The County Surveyor of Humboldt will
be here in a few days to establish the
line, for which the camp will be duly
thankful.
This week has been full of joy to the
toiling claim owners who are doing as
sessment work and prospecting. They
have been relieved of the ignorant pros
pectors who did not know enough to stick
a pick in the ground, and, because some
of the best claims of the camp mad been
taken up, wrote an adverse report" of

have it straight from substantial citizens
of Lovelock that many of the party re-
ferred to were the laughing stock of
Lovelock when they left with hopes of
finding gold on sagebrushes. The people
of Lovelock know who they are, so do
the people of Donnelly district, who
spent time showing them around and
giving them specimens worth from $40
to $50. Some member of the party
posed as San Francisco newspaper cor
respondents.
This week we have been visited by
cry of the camp. They don't talk so
wise, but are doing us good as well as
themselves. They are the kind of men
that are welcome here. One rouble-
maker and all around CRATER was in
vited out of the camp and soon made
himself scarce by walking out. He will
never come back. Many claims nave
been taken up in the porphyry belt to
the east, and in doing assessment work
some good quartz specimens have been
found. Considering the facilities of the
camp and what is being done, everything
be expected. We are ready for a boom
whenever they begin milling operations
and put a force of men at work.
Murray & Raiser have opened up the
bonanza ledge on the Bell of the West
for over 100 feet, which at no point is
less than fourteen inches wide and aver
ages twenty inches in depth. Each place
opened is as rich as the discovery, which
runs from 81 800 to $4,000 per ton. They
have two men taking out ore.
Hank Harry q Co. are doing assess
ment work on the Amedee. Indications
are good that they will strike the bo-
nanza ledge in fifty feet more.
FRANK BAKER Will soon commence de-
velopment work on the ledge, which
looks well, on his Deer Horn claim.
Jim Moorhead and Jim Kennedy are
working on the Jim and o. X. claims
and have strong lodges, with ores that
runs from $50 to $50 per ton. They are
in the best portion of the district.
McCarty and partner nave done assess
ment work on their %porphyry claims and
found quartz which horns well. They
are opening up a quartz lead in granite
on the Little Egypt. near the Bonanza,
which horns well.
Joe Effriks and John Babcock of Cling
house canyon nave been looking over the
camp thoroughly and have offered to buy
property here.
AS soon as assessment work is COM
pleted there will be considerable devely
opment work commenced. The weather
is perfect here. no rattlesnakes and lots
of sagehen.
District Recorder w. II. Hattaker will
spend a week in camp about September
