PREDICTS A BOOM.
Washington Newspaper Man Says Trend
of Investment is Toward Goldfeld.

Washington Newspaper Man Says Trend
of Investment is Toward Goldfeld.
j. L. Kennedy, a prominent Washing
ton, ID. c., newspaper correspondent,
arrived in the camp a few days ago for
the purpose Of investigating the mining
conditions of this and adjoining camps.
Mr.. Kennedy has been identified with
some of the most influential journals
of the country as Washington cores
pondent and is thoroughly in touch
with the pulse of the investing public
Of the Atlantic seaboard. He predicts
an unprecedented influx of people to the
camp during the fall and winter. Al
though but a recent arrival in the dis
trict, Mr.. Kennedy is already impressed
with the possibilities of the camp and is
of the opinion that the entire territory
between here and Bullfrog is to be ben
Gifted by the boom.
"There has never been a mining
camp in the history of the country
which has been as thoroughly adver-
tised as have the camps of southern
Nevada" said Mr.. Kennedy yesterday
in the course of a conversation with
a reporter of the News, "and in no
portion of the United States has this
been more general than in the states
bordering on the Atlantic ocean and
contiguous thereto. In those portions
of the east which / have visited re-
Gently the news of ;It rausiH s1-ii,e.
in this vicinity has been generally
disseminated and has attracted the at
~tention not alone of capital but of the
man of small means as well. There
will be a rush to this section this fall
and the fastener will form no small
quota of the crowd. The trend of trav-
ell from the east toward southern Ne
vada will early this fall
and will, / believe, continue without
interruption during the winter. Gold
field and Bullfrog are to be favored
sections, in my opinion, and as the new
corners will be literally supplied with
money, and are coming here for the
purpose of establishing themselves, the
results cannot but be beneficial to this
portion of the state.''

For Extensive Developments

A string of fourteen horses pulled
the 15-horse gasoline hoist up to the
Great Eastern shaft Saturday. 1t was
a novel sight to see a long line of an.
imals struggling with a heavy burden
on the hillside, and the hoist was not
landed at its destination without some
difficulty. The gallows frame is being
erected and the shaft house built. 1t
will not be long until sinking will be
resumed.
Grading for a 15-horse gasoline hoist
is in progress at the Steinway. The
hoist is now enroute from Tonopah and
is due to arrive any day. Supt. Thomas
Wilson expected to cut the ore in the
crosscut before the arrival of the hoist,
but was obliged to close down work
and commence excavations. Timbers
have been hauled to the property and
the gallows frame will be put up at
once. 1t is Mr.. Wilson'S intention t.
continue the crosscut until the 50-foot
ledge is ~prospected and then continue
sinking. At a depth of SIS feet in the
shaft, a stringer of ore, Is inches wide,
was struck. This ore assayed $50
The ore dipped out of the shaft and
should be reached in a few feet of adj
ditionai work in the crosscut. Several
stringers of quartz showing fair pan
nings, have been encountered, pointing
to the fact that the ledge is well miner
allied throughout. The shaft is AXIS in
the clear. The Steinway company was
promoted by Starr & Dulfer, brokers,
of ,Tonopah. The indications are that
the company means to go ahead and
develop the property upon an extensive
cale.-Rhyoiite Herald.

LINCOLN couNrY's COURTHOUSE

In 1871 Lincoln county was bonded
for $1S1, 900 to erect a court house at
Phoebe, says the Grass Valley
Age. 1t is a stone building 40x6o
feet, two stories high, with a small Jail
in the rear. Today $4,000 would build
a better structure, but considering
high prices in 1871 probably $4,000
went into the work. About $4,000 more
was spent for a toilet and $4,000 for
stone steps, and the balance of the
money got away somehow. The bonds
remained and bore interest at 10 per
cent until now we have a debt of
$630,0O0 as a legacy-all growing out
of that court house.
Two of the commissioners who did
the business are dead and the third has
been lost in the shuttle of life. The
debt remains. The old court house
has suffered severely from'the wear of
time. The walls are cracked, and a
grand jury might condemn it as un-
safe any time. A proposition to erect
a new court house at Phoebe is almost
due.
Beore the political finaneierf of
Phoebe saddle another court house
debt on the county the south half
should get out from under by a divi-
sion of the county.

THE BUENA VISTA DISTRICT.
This New Camp is Fast Coming to the
Front.

This new camp, situated in the north
west corner of Esmeralda county, and
some rs miles from Goldfeld, gives
promise of turning out to be a good
one. Some of the best prospectors of
this section, as well as mining men
who are looking for investments either
for themselves or friends, have pro-
nounced it all right. 1t is located on
the extreme north end of the White
Mountain range and in a locality that
was the scene of a mining excitement
thirty years ago. In those days the
Indian Queen was the mine of that sec
tion and several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of ore were mined and treat
ed at a mill erected by the owners close
to the mine. It looked SO good that
litigation was started over the owner
ship, the mine was closed down and the
mill went to rack and ruin. With the
influx of prcspectors, promoters and
capital to southwestern Nevada, a GER
tain percentage of them went out in
the neighborhood of the old producer.
where shafts had been sunk a few feet
on wide lodges of ore that PANIED and
asayed fairly well. One of these was
called the Buena Vista, and was located
by L. s. Van Wrinkle and associates
of Goldield. A ledge 30 feet wide out
cropped on the lode and PANIED gold
runs the average of the quartz on the
surface was better thar $40. 1t ap-
pears to be free milling ore. The To-
Gators decided that the best way to
work the ground was to drive a cross
cut tunnel which will cut the ledge
at a depth of 100 feet, and they are
now engaged on this work.
T. p. Rigney a few weeks ago Sc
cured a short time option on the Indian.
Queen, and a party of Salt Lake mining
men are now engaged in making an
examination of this old producer. In
all probability the transfer will be
made in the near future. The exami-
nation made by Mr.. Rigney convinced
him that it was a mine and a good n
Mat Graham and Billy Cummings,
both of Goldield, have a splendid show
ing ON their group of properties, and
are getting assays that run as high as
$50 on a wide dyke of free milling ore.
Weber & Ish own IN adjoining group
of claims and are making arrangements
for some extensive development work.
w. 8. ,O'Brien is working away pros
pecting his ground, and from paintings
and assays it looks as though he had
a mine.
Jack Mernin returned to Goldfeld the
first of the week from a prospecting
trip in the Buena Vista district and
speaks glowingly of it's prospects.
While there he made a number of To-
cations.

"A WORD TO THE WISE

That the News is recognized as the
most profitable advertising medium in
the Goldfeld district is proven by the
steadily increasing patronage of it's adj

is evidenced by the many testimonials
thereto which we are constantly receiv-
