A Phenomenal Find That Bids

men and theoretical students who adj lo
here to their book teachings have
few followers today.
This practical theory is an assured
fact when the late new discovery
twelve miles northeast of Tonopah is
studied
Last December veteran prOSpec- |
tor, Ned Clark, whom the rich Clark
shaft on the Mizpah was named, start
ed out with pick and shovel to pros
pect the country north OF Tonopah,
returning day after day to camp foot
sore and weary with i'll luck, but ev-
err hopeful. At last after each day
walking ten miles out and ten miles
back to camp, he managed to work a
bout an hour each day on prospect
that will soon add hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars to Nevada's wealth. i
This new discovery made by Ned |
Clark is situated about twelve miles
northeast of Tonopah on the same |
mineral belt as the mines of this rich
distinctly traced for 5000 feet, being
covered in places with only wash
deposit Of few inches. The section
of the late lind is well defined min
eral country, pay float can be found
in every gulch and OIL every hillside
Along the entire ledge groupings a
20 lot of shipping ore is encountered ev-
v erywhere
On the Horn Silver claim owned by
/. o. Ray, out of the twenty-five as
c says taken along the groupings OF his
g claim the lowest return was $50 in
n gold and silver and the highest was
$36670. The ore carries from Is to
60 per cent lead, which value is not
II added to the above returns.
IL The ore is carbonate and it is the
belief of many that it will emerge
10 into rich galena as depth is attained.
A shaft on Monday had reached the
depth of twelve feet and the ledge
had widened out from foot to three
10 feet with ore in the bottom assayins
I'd 1856 in silver and 1923 in gold per ton
This showing, with the ledge widen
ing, has caused our people to flock t
the new district and almost DESERVING
our camp, each endeavoring to- secure
lease, and many have been lucky il
re doing so.
