THE KAwICH RANGE
Prospecting Stimulated BY Silver Bow
and Belle Helen showings
(Tonopah Miner.)


In no part of Nye county is there
more prospecting being done than IN
the Kawich range, doubtless on ac-
count of the excellent s~howings at
Goldreed, Silver Bow and Eden, and
also because of the new discoveries at
Golden Arrow, Clifford and Bellehelen.
The popular impression that this range
is difficult to prospect is entirely err
roneous. From Kawich to Clifford, a
distance of over fifty miles, the canons
and mountains have a heavy growth of
timber, much of which is suitable for
mining purposes. Water abounds at
several points, such as Cedar Springs,
Wild Horse Springs, Log Springs and
others, and in many places through the
range wells have been sunk and SPLEEN
did water found close to the surface.
Feed is abundant, as proved by the
number of range cattle and wild horses
that are seen in the canons.
Goldreed, or Kawich, as it is more
generally known, is reviving rapidly,
owing to the recent developments on
claims owned by the Goldreed Mines
company, which will shortly COM
mence shipping. The purchase of the
Diamond group, originally owned by o
Goldfeld corporation, has been COM
pleted by eastern capitalists for s40,-
900, and a main working shaft is to be
sunk 200 feet. Milton Smith has COM
menced work on his properties, n
arrangements are being made to stat
work on the Rover group, owned by
the Kawich Consolidated Gold Mining
company.
About eight miles north of Goldreed,
c. c.. Higgins of Salt Lake is opening
up a property owned by the Ventura
Gold Mining company, which has j
group of eight claims on which there
are three parallel veins assaying from
$25 to $472 a ton in gold. There IL
running water and an abundance of
timber on this ground.
At Log Springs some prospectors
have found float assaying over $1,000 A
ton, and they are trying to trace the
vein from which it came.
About eight miles north of Log
Springs is Silver Bow camp, with about
300 residents. Development work is
opening up some excellent ore. Cogan
and parties are now sinking to the 100
foot level on a vein 4 feet wide which
averages $40 a ton in gold and silver.
An offer of $4,000 has been refused
for this property. On the Jennie z.
claim assays as high as 1926 have been
obtained, but the average is probably
about $40. At the Catlin property the
shaft is down 100 feet and a crosscut is
being run to the vein, and a contract
has been let for another 100 feet of
sinking. On the MeGonagill property
ten leases are being operated. On only
two have crosscuts been run to the
vein, which is showing good values.
The district is destined to make a
splendid milling camp, with all the
natural facilities of wood and water to
insure its ~permanency.
At Eden, the Adams property, owned
by Donald B. Gillies and Julius Smith,
is opening up satisfactorily under the
operations of several ~leasers. On the
Sweet lease there is a 20-inch shoot of
ore which shows black sulphides AMI
ruby silver assaying over 5000 a ton.
The vein is 4 feet wide. Several other
have shipping ore, and there is
now quite a rush to secure more leases.
Both at Golden Arrow and the new
Clifford strike a number of men are
working, and both of these districts
promise to attract considerable atten-
