Good wins Weekly, published at Salt
Lake City. has the following regarding
one OF hits Pine countys most prom
ising mining camp:
A long neglected mining camp in
eastern Nevada which has for some
years past been lsboring under the bur-
den Of litigation and chickering's between
owners in IN attempt to force the pur-
chase or sale Of their leading mine, the
Star, one Of the largest producers of
high grade silver ore In the western
country, is coming to the front. Dur
ing the past week extensive strikes in
high grade gold have been made Ia the
old Joanna mine, the property OF an
old tim prospector in White Pine counl
ty, near Cherry Creek, New. Leasers
have been working In differt ut parts of
the claim. IS we'll as on several claims
located on the same contact as the Jo-
anna, which are owned by Ernest Ba-
ker and his associates, and throughout
the entire workings free gold working
up into thousands OF dollars have been
opened up and m early shipment may

richest ore which has been produced In
Nevada. The assays from q three. foot

There are large number OF free gold
