A Piece OF Rock That Caused
Excitement Among the Min
Ing Fraternity.
And the Pulses of Many Were
Thrilled by the Power
of Gold.
Said to Have Come From One of
the Mines in West
Camp.

A little piece of rich gold bearing
rock, which, although in irregular
fOrn, measured in the neigh bprhood OF
AKA inches, was brought to town last
Monday eve ing from West Camp and
the excitement it created has not been
equalled In this camp FOR many a day
As the little piece OF rock was pissed
from hand To hand and its richness was
realized, the beholders felt the my ste.
rious "power Of gold" that fires the
ambitions of men TO endure hardships
and privations and tempts them TO risk
life, and even commit murder, in the
mad rush for IL, acq uirement.
While many fine specimens OF gold
ore have been produced in this camp,
none have been seen here in receut
years in which the yellow metal stood
out SO prominently and 10 such dazz ing
richness, and the one question which
took prominence over all others was,
Where did |; come from?'
AT frst IL was given out that ii was
taken from the bottom of the Giroux
shaft in the Old Glory mine, one OF the
claims owned by the Fortuna Grande
copper Company, but this l. now en-
phatically denied by Superintendent
Edwards. However, among certain
parties who have not been active in
that line heretofore, there Is dispose
tion TO acquire claims in the western
part OF the district, aud it is said that
tracts OF land which for years have been
passed over as valueless, have been To-
Gated within the past few days by men
who are supposed 10 know what they
are doing.
While some mining men, who are
thoroughly familiar with the district,
fail to recognize the specimen as the
product of any particular locality, it
does not. In reality. differ greatly in
general character from that now com
ing from the shaft OF the Mckinley com.
psny's Saxton mine, and before many
days, no doubt, its real origin will be
made known, for it is certain thatthere
is more OF the same kind Of rock where
this particular piece came from.
This rich specimen, while contain
ing values greater than has been
found In the comparatively shallow
workings OF his camp, is, ia reality, Of
the ch iracter which may be expected
TO be encountered as greater depth Is
reached, and il addition TO being the
recognized greatest copper camp on
earth" Ely will, ere long lay claim To
being one OF the greatest gold prodh-
cers.
In fact, at the present time the cop
per ores of the camp contain greater
gold values than are found Ia any OF er
mining ditrict ir the world, aud these
values are stsaiily increasing us depth
10 reached. The assays OF sl03 in gold
and 28 per cent copper In the New
York and Nevada Copper Company's
property Is case 10 point, aud there
arc other claims, notably thos' OF the
Mckinley Mining and Smelling Com'
pany, 10 which this record is sure to be.
duplicated, Tilt Is not exceeded. ~
