H. N. johnson. chief engineer on sam
ueI Newhouse.s staff, and Edward III.
Mead returned yesterday morning from q
trip to Mountain City, the camp I'm north
eru Nevada which is Just now attracting
SO much attention. So well impressed
with the camp and the showing made ln
some or the properties was ElL' Johnson
that DE relieved Mr. Mead OF his verbal
option on the Cireenback property and
completed arrangements for the first pay
meut that viii be made as soon as titles
To- the ground have been found 20 be
perfect The purchase price was not de
vuIged While MT Johnson would not
admit that Inc had been out i'm the inter
eSts Of Mr.. NeWlUuse, there IS ground
for the belief that the wealthy operator
and possibly other big mining men of this
city have decided 10 enter the new camp
and go after the wealth which the work
so far done indicates IS buried there.
johnson Tells What He Saw.a
Speaking I'm a general way of the pos
Elbilities of the section Mr. Johnson said
My Investigations have led me 90 the
conclusion that all the camp needs is
money with which 10 develop IL. There
are some splendid mineral bearing Lodges
IA me district ana some OF the ores are
very nigh grade. The natural advantages
are varied and many There Is water Iu
abundance and the concentration of ores
that would otherwise not stand the long
maui 20 the railroads can undoubtedly
be pcOttably carried on. The work done
az the Nelson property has demonstrated
TO "a reasonable certainty that the ores
go down, and that being true. there is no
room 90 doubt that several good mines
VIII De opened there III the means are
found with which 10 develop them. Yes.
EoU can say that I like the camp and
believe iJ has q bright future
Ile EreeuDack property secured by
Mr. Johnson, is tle one from which the
sensau0nally nigh grade ore was brought
10y Mr. Mead Cu his pTevICEs trip TO the
camp. and he rs naturally highly pleased
that mr. Johnson found his representa-
lions sufficiently truthful 90 warrant him
in taking up the option which had been
placed at his disposal. His elaJiOu was
not entirely selfish either for be recog-
such as he knew Mr.. johnson represent
ed were 10 enter. the camp it would
mean great deal 10 friends of his whom
ne has known from childhood and who
dlgglugs.
Moffat and Smith Interested.
While at camp" said Mr.. Mead. OF
learned that Mr.. Poole of Denver, who IS
supposed TO have been representing David
Mo1iat and Ebeu smith, had secured a
$4,000 bond ON the north extension of the

leaving Mountain City that he had been

There arc now moro than 100 persons iu
tne camp, Mr. Mead reports. and new
faces are seen every day- Stores are be-
InE opened and every provision Is being
made for the increase iu population that
is sure TO follow. s. number of fine pros

building up OF camp that will become
famous within a short time
The new mill ON the Nelson property is
in operation, and Mr. Johnson stated fhar

He also said that he was advised. upon
reaching the railroad ON his way out
that "a daily stage lime would be I'm oDera-
