$685. 600 IS HEPRiCE NAMED
IN THE BOND
Work to Commence Today on
the Property

Other people are beginning to reali
re that Ormsby county is on the map
and that she has mines that are worth
taking a financial interest in. NegO-
tiations have been made whereby the
Delaware mine, situated east of this
city about four miles has been bond
ed.
The people that have taken the
bond on the property are known as
the Reno Real Estate and Develop
ment Company, composed of a number
of live people of western Nevada, who
have interested Pennsylvania capital
in this property The terms of the
bond are for one year, and a working
bond at that. The price of the mine is
$35 ZOO, which sum is to be paid at
| the end of the year should the COM
pany find things as represented. The
bond includes the entire holdings OF
| the company, mining ground, mill site,
| water power and mill, while the stock
of the company that was issued some
time ago for small amounts and is
held in this city by business men, is
held inescrew.
| Should the company that has taken
hold of the mine conclude to take uu
the mine, the stock that is issued Will
be worth its par value and the mine
will be developed that will be one OF
the many new ventures that Will hell

AS to the plan of buying out the 40

given. but as the company has figures

taken in, as it is hardly good busi-
ness to have two electric companies
in one town. that is for the companies.
1t is proposed to bring the wires il

the shortest route. While this is :.
fact. yet the people are overl0OkiI &;

Thursday, Chas. D. Walcott, Direc-
tor of the U. S. Geological Survey, ac-
companied by Mr.. Davis, hydrogra-
pher of national note, arrived in this
city. There presence in this city was
to wait for Congressman Newlands,
who had made arrangements to &C
company them on a. tour of inspeC-
ton of the different rivers and water
sheds of western Nevada.
Mr. Newlands arrived yesterday and
they Immediately left for points south
where they will look over the sites
that can in the future be made useful
for the storage of water. Mr.. L, H.
Taylor was also in the party, as he is
one of the best posted men in this
line of business on the coast. Mr..
Walcott and Mr.. Davis arrived from
Lake Tahoe, where they not only had
a chance to see the beauties Of the
lake. but they also made number of
observations concering the great wa
ter shed that is so important to Neva-
da irrigatOrs.
From this point the party will go
via Genoa and Markleeville to the
headwaters of the Carson, for the pur-
pose of viewing reservoir sites in that
vicinity. Thence the journey will be
made by way of Wellington into
Smiths valley to the upper courses of
the Walker river; from there to Yer
ington and Wabuska and then across
country to Wadsworth. From the lat
ted point the party will goto Lovelock
and Humboldt and look over the reser.
voir site near the last named place.
The entire circuit from Carson will
