rendered Mrs. G. r. Mullins a farewell
banquet Thursday night of last week.
Mrs. Mullins expects to leave shortly,
accompanied by her son, Johnnie, for
the new town of Columbia, near Gold

her willingness to lend a helping hand
and ready response to help with the
sick or aid where needed, have always
gathered about her many friends and
we'll wishers, who regret her departure,
but hope it will not be very long until
she returns to her old home ON Mob
Hill.

new CAMP OF
GOLD CRATER.
GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF Me-
vADA'S LATEST GOLD FIELD.

Under date of Sept. 80 W. NJ. Have
nor writes from Goldfield to the Salt
Lake Herald the following description
Of the new camp of Gold Crater:
II have just returned from the new
mining camp of Gold Crater, about 25
niles south of here, and found it an in
teresting country. The mines there
are in the center of In extinct crater.
about two and one-half miles wide and
three and one-half long, surrounded by
a malipi or lava limerick. When the
volcano was active 1t spread immense
beds of lava over the surrounding
country. When its activity ceased the
crater sank, breaking off at the rim
rock. Later. in the center of the
crater and on the north side about 10
low hills or dykes of porphyry were
pushed up. These have the appearance
of having been mineralized by heated
waters, or mineral springs carrying the
gold.
1.-THE country is similar to Goldfeld
and the deepest hole 1 saw in ore was
not over three feet. The ore in the
chief property runs from $40 to s15. 500
per ton and a cash offer of $4,000 for
the ground has been refused.
IA townsite has been located and
lots are selling fast. No wells have
yet been sunk. The nearest water is
in the Stonewall range of mountains,
10 miles distant, with the exception of
holes in the lava rock, which have been
filled with water and sand during the
rain storms. Water is usually found
in such places by igging two or three
feet.
1.-THE Cactus range of mountains is
east of Gold Crater and is of the same
volcanic formation, the peaks being a
chain of craters. many of which are
worn down by erosion so as not to be
recognizable with dykes of rhyolite and
porphyry.
zone drawback to this country is
that prospectors stake off 100 or more
claims and do no work upon them. A
jacks load is sometimes mostly made
up of location notices. The country is
full of prospectors, most of whom are
heading south toward Death Valley,
the Funeral range, Grapevine and
Armagosa.
"All of these points are much nearer
the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake Railroad and more easily reached
than by going in from this direction.
Some big mines should be found in
Southern Nevada and Utah this Win
ter, as the country will be alive with
prospectors.
"Goldfield is still booming and new
strikes are being reported nearly every
day. There are a good many Salt
Lakers here. Most of them are looking
around for plums, the majority of
which hang too high for their poles to
reach. They all think well of the coun-
try, however, and may get in."
