D. N. Harper and W. C. Rose, af-
| ter q stay of nearly five weeks with us,
during all of which time the former
gentleman put in in making careful
personal examination of the topog-
rapy and geology of the entire district,
and having satisfied himself from the
magnitude and character of the out
groupings along the main mineral belt
where developments OF other proper
ties to depth of five hundred feet
have proven the existence OF enormous
copper ore bodies, that we have the
makiags of one of the greatest copper
producing camps In all the western
mining world concluded that he would
take hand in its development and aid
in getting other capital interested.
With bonds on the following claims,
which lie along the most heavily min
eralized porphyretic belt in the camp,
and upon which prospective and ass
essment work for the few past years
has opened up many excellent surface
deposits of copper and gold ores, the
gentlemen took their departure Friday
morning for San Francisco, Salt Lake,
Denver, Chicago and New York, where
conference will be had with those in
terested in the project. They were
accompanied as far as Palisade by W.
N. McGill, Manager of the Mckinley
Company, who goes East to attend
meeting of the Board of Directors and
a possible reorganization of the Com
pany.

The agreements call for ten per cent
OF the purchase price, which aggrega-
tes over $3.50, 900, to be paid immedi-
ately upon The completion of survey
and verifcation of title, and the re.
mainder of the amount is due in from
six to nine months. The survey was
to have begun at once, but on account
OF the departure OF Mr.. McGill and the
stormy weather it has been delayed
until such time as A. D. Campton re-
ceives instructions to commence.
In the meantime contractor Paul is
pushing work on the Elk horn tunnel,
having completed 10 feet of the one
hundred last night. The tunnel is SKI
feet in the clear.
Mr.. Harper wrote from Palisade
Monday that telegram received
there announced the serious illness of
his sister in New York, and unless he
got encouraging news of her illness at
Winnemucca, he would take the flyer
for the East. 1t is to be hoped Mr..
Harper's sister Is not dangerously il.
and that nothing shall interfere with
the speedy completion ofthe plans and
work he had laid out for Ely.
