W. II. Wilson Believes Nevada
Camp Will Become Second to
None in This Country.
IT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Over GOldield and Tonopah-Railroad
Will be Near Plenty OF Water
For Reduction Plants.

The exhibition OF ores from the yell
low Pine Nevada, mining district,
which has been displayed In the Card
ner store window on East Temple street
since yesterday has attracted no little
attention and, as a result, considerable
enthusiasm has been aroused In local
mining circles over the possibilities Of
that camp.
The exhibit, as stated In yesterdays
News" was brought to the city by w.
II. Wilson. not, he says, for the pur-
pose OF selling stock in any one propo-
sItlon, but to advertise the merits Of the
camp which will soon have advantages
far superior TO Goldfeld, the new
camp in the western part Of the state
which is being heralded the country
over as second Tonopah. While Mr.,
Wilson has not word to say against
Goldfeld, nor any other Nevada camp,
for he desires TO see thesn all prosper,
he does contend that the Yellow Pine
district OF Lincoln county presents just
as good opportunities, or better, than
any OF the camps mentioned. In fact,
he believes, confidently, that with fur
Their development It will prove to be the
second best mining camp in the coun-
try

Angeles and Salt Lake railroad through

The principal properties OF the district
will be not to exceed seven miles from
Good Springs station. The road-bed,
Mr. Wilson says, Is now graded within
IL miles OF the latter point and the ar
my OF track layers is following the
graders as rapidly as possible,
Another thing to the advantage OF the
Yellow Pine district is the availability
Of a water supply, all that would be
necessary in the operation OF large re-
duction plants.
There Is already some talk Of provld-
ing milling facilities for the camp. Salt
Lake parties, said Mr. Wilson today,
are negotiating for the purchase OF an
old cyanide plant erected In the district
several years ago. IL the deal Is con-
sunlated, the building will be remod-
eed, the machinery overhauled and
other equipment added suitable TO the
ores to be treated.
The principal ore bodies thus far de-
veloped, Mr.. Wilson says, lie between
a contact OF porphyry and granite. The
mineral belt Is fully Ave miles IN width,
while It's length Is left for the future
to determine.
The Keystone mine, owned principally
| by Los Angeles parties, Is one OF the
best properties In the camp and ore

There Ia variety OF ores In the dis
trIct and some very good copper prop
osItons are being opened. The 80 mine
owned by c. NJ. overs, has a nice show

the lower levels has assayed up TO o.

thing marvellous. Ores from there have

The estate OF Allen @. Campbell
owns extensive interests near Good
sprlngs. one OF the stipulations In
the win left by Mr.. Campbell was that
hIs heirs should dispose OF this prop
ertv for no less than 100000. 1t Is
claimed that $4,000 has been bid for
the property repeatedly Dut' ol
course was each time refused.
