son Of the year little prospecting is
carried on, and is emphatic in his state
ment that this territory will become q
great precious mineral producer. He
declares that ne discovered good ore
from one end to the other and recog-
nizes it sas a good field for the pros

the promise of substantial fortunes. As

Funeral range he descended as low in

Mannix Enthusiastic.
Frank Mannix, the eruditie editor
and proprietor of the Bullfrog Miner
stopped at Las Vegas on his way to
Colorado. Mannix is enthusiastic over
the immensely of the mineral showing
OF the famous camp. He had with him
samples from the original Builfrog,
Denver and Shoshone group. These
samples are great specimens. They are
alive with gold and gave a brilliant
effect. and were 30 speckled and flash
ing as to remind one of a trout with
the sun playing upon its beauty spots
shiny and refulgent, and giving an en-
ticement of Il want you" 1t was en-
chanting. Mr.. Mannix states that they
have the precious metal in abundance.
and to behold the exposed bodies one
cannot conceive of the wondrous mass
of gold bearing ore. Take Shoshone
or Ladd or Rembrandt mountain and
it all pans good values Rembrandt
mountain pans and uniformly samples
from end to end S26 per ton. He says
that unless one sees it, it Will not be
believed, but that il is a fact. He is
confident in his prediction that the
amazing aggregate of gold from the
belt that is opened will be so aston
iShing as to make the world marvel
and wonder that this golden stream
should have been dormant so long and
marvel more at a greater gold producer
than the world has ever known. Even
now, he says that resumption of travel
and ingress of prospectors is taking
place, and that from all reports that
an immense rush of prospectors and
spectators into the district viii take
place commencing with September
weather. Coming out, he was a lone
passenger, but going in all the stages
were loaded. He recognizes Las Vegas
as the natural causeway for prospec-
tors and business men, and with the
establishment of rapid communication
between. Vegas and BulIfrog through
the auto line, he is confident that the
burden of travel win be over the Clark
road and by the better Vegas route.
As all roads lead to Rome, so all Ne
vada roads begin to lead to and from
Las Vegas.

Fortunate Editor.
Judge w. w. Wallace. editor os the
Advance, is one of the extremely fortu-
nate ones who cast his bread into these
mountains. His expenditure Of money
and confidence is bearing it's reward.
The latest demonstration from his ga
lena mine. in the Charleston noun
tains, about 30 miles distant from
Vegas is that he has two feet OF steel
galena ore that averages eighty-two
per cent in lead. If the body continues
the fortune OF the judge will be ac-
counted for by more than seven nu-
merals. With the by products Of gold
and silver the ore is worth gross $40
per ton and with the present freight
rates over the Clark road this ore will
be worth net f. o. b. $50 per ton. As
a fluXing ore it carnot be beat. There
are more like it in the mountains sur
rounding Las Vegas. Judge Wallace
is on a trip to his bonanza and when
ne returns more OF the details of this
discovery of rich ore will be known.
