Same Golden Story OF the Great
Nevada Camp. ..
After three months round up Of
the Goldfield district, during which he
secured footholds which promise 10
make millionaire of him. Frank II.
Lathrap, returned home Tuesday night
to remain a week or ten days, or I'M
til one or two associates of his can
get here from the east.
Since leaving here Mr. Lathrap has
launched the Gold Horn Mining Com
pany on property adjoining the St.
Ives and Alge on the southeast and
withing about 500 feet of the bound
aries of the Jumbo company's hold
ings. He has also become interested
as a director in the Potlatch, adj0in-
ing the Gold Horn on the east, ami
has acquired a one-third interest IN
the lease on the Velvet, which he has
sub let The Geld Horn property IS
now being developed by leasers ana
the ground is giving good account If
itself The same is true Of the Pot
latch, and taken altogether, Mr.. Lath-
rap considers that his less than ninety
days in the diggings have been any
thing but time wasted.
Il tell you" said Mr. Lathrap, that
country is too good to stay away from
Grd | shall not remain here moment
ger than is necessary. There are
between 5000 and 4 900 people in the
district now, and the camp is filling
up at the rate Of about seventy a day.
1t is cCnservatiyely estimated that the
mines OF the camp are now producing
S250,o00 worth of shipping ore per
month, while it is safe to say that tho
amount of milling ore opened up is
worth twice as much.
The Quartzite Fraction property is
opening up bigger than the January.
What that means Will be better under
stood when | explain that little more
than sixty days hence the leases on
the January VII have expired; that
during their run the leasers will have
taken out more than $350,0o0 worth OF
first class ere and have piled on the
dumps a fine milling grade of ore
worth not less than ST 800 600.
Lots on the main street OF GOldfeIl
are now selling for $4,000 o $4,000
each. These are the prices which the
ground is bringing, not what they arr
held at Men and combinations ri
men from all parts of the cOuiltry arc
there doing business and making in
vestments every day. The town is
we'll managed. good order prevails
everywhere, and now that building ma
