DEATH OF A PIONEER.
"Old Man" Finley Crosses the
Great Divide.

"Old Man" Finley, one OF the pio-
neer prospectors Of Nevada, died at
Manse, about rs miles south of Bull.
frog last week, death being the in
direct result of a severe cold, con
.tracted last winter in Death Valley.
"Finley was well-known by all old
Nevada and California prospectors
and was near 80 years of age at the
time of his passing to the other
world.
Finley had been hunting for the
lost Breyfogle mine for a long time
but died without finding it. Finley
knew Breyfogle well and saw some of
the f%abulously rich ore that he brougt
out of Death Valley. For years he
has tramped the burning sands of
the desolate region, with the persist.
ency of a mai who had neither nerves
to rack or human flesh to torture.
Finley was formally a partner Of
Joe S. Stotler, who at one time owned
the Kentucky saloon in this city.
Together they recently sold a group
of claims at Resting springs for $14,-
900, so the chances are that Finley
left a small estate.
According to the Bullfrog Miner,
Finley leaves a wife and son some.
where in Montana. From the former
he was separated years ago, but the
"Old Man gave her IS, 900 with
which to educate the boy. When
Finley got sick a few weeks ago be
sent word to the boy. The son
wrote him a letter, so it is said, ask
ing the sold Man" if he Thought he
would die soon.' Finley didn't like
the tone of the letter and he pro.
ceeded forthwith to fix his will so
that the o would not get q cent
of my money"
Finley has lived at Euaeka, Pal.
metto, Resting Springs, Manse aud
many other places in Nevada and
was well known by all old timers.

2l2, 900 acres Of government land

al Jones Recovering.

DR.. Cox has received word from
Hawthorne that AL Jones is recover.
ing, According to the Reno papers,
Braydner, who shot the brave deputy
sheriff at Hawthorne last week, has
been looked upon as the most desper.
ate inmate of the State Insane
Asylum since 1891. He has escaped
since then a number of times. In
1899 he got away and for three years
was at liberty. From that time I'M
til three weeks ago the attendants
succeeded in keeping him in check.
At that time he succeeded in fixing
up a key with which he unlocked the
door to the room in which he was
locked and escaped. DR.. Gibson at
once sent out descriptions Of the man
and his capture is the result. 1t is
thought the crazy man robbed a house
at Hawthorne and secured the
weapon with which he perhaps com.
mitted murder.

A National Park.

A movement is on foot, says the
Reno Gazette, to create a national
park, consisting of the million acre
Tahoe forest reserve recently created
by the presidents proclamation. The
project has been taken up by Cali
fornians who wish to preserve the
natural beauty of the high Sierras,
and it is probable that the matter
will be urged before the next session
of congress.
Such a park would extend into
Nevada, reaching within a short dis.
lance of Genoa in Douglas county,
and then follow the eastern shore of
Lake Tahoe almost to the northeast.

ward almost to Washoe City.
The entire surface of Lake Tahoe
would be embraced within the park.
as well as many miles OF the Truckee
river, and many charming Sierra
lakes.

BULLFROG NEWS.
Renewed Activity in That Rich
and Growing District.

w. X. Wise Of the Nevada Coal
and. Lumber Company, came in from
Bullfrog, his present home, Sunday
evening for a brief visit. Mr.. Wise
says the camp is looking better than
it has for several months and that
there is considerable activity in the
adjacent hills, many claim-holders be-
ing busily engaged doing their an
nual assessment work.
The Clark road has surveyed for
its round house, depot and yards, in
the town of Bullfrog'' said MIR. Wise
to a BONANZA representative land
work from the Las Vegas end of the
line is being rushed. The road will
surely be completed and trains run
ming into Bullfrog within a very few
months. This will give us direct
communication with Los Angeles, as
well as with Salt Lake and eastern
points. This means a low rate o n
ores shipped to the Salt Lake and
other shelters and which will be of
untold benefit to the Bullfrog section
which certainly has a wonderful
future.
Several mills are projected and
there is an abundance of water to
operate all that may be built.
THE Merchants hotel at Bullfrog
has been changed into a miners
boarding house. Lothrop is moving
into bis new building on Main street
and | have just started the erection
another business structure. There
IS not a vacant house in the town OF
3nllfrog.
THE health of the entire Bullfrog
district is excellent and we have only
rad one inch Of snow.
"Tbe road bed of Golden Avenue.
which extends from Bullfrog to
Rhyolite, has been put in Grst-class
condition and twelve bright lights
been placed along the road,
making it a veritable boulevard"

Another One.

A sheet called the Twentieth
Century Miner" was recently issued
in San Francisco. 1t contained a lot
of ''stufr'' supposed to pertain to
Tonopah and southern Nevada.
AS a matter Of fact the sheet had
nothing of merit to commend it TO
anyone. The old reliable Mining and
Engineering Review refers to it as
follows.
The truth Of the matter about
Bernier is this. His especial edition"
was held up by the man who printed
it until he could get payment for the
Job. Where the aforesaid Bernier
managed to scare up money TO get
his paper" out OF "soak is a prob
lem. We are not in a position to
state that Mr.. Bcrnier owes any New
York printers any money New York
papers please copy, but we are in a
position to state that the Twentieth
Century Miner" as he calls it, has
not a piece Of advertising in it that
could find its way into the columns Of
the Review, or for that matter into
any paper Of decency. So much for
Mr.. Bernier and the mining COM.
panies which use his columns.

DEATH VALLEY.
The Famous Region is Attract
ing Much Attention.

Death Valley is now attracting
the attention of mining men
and capitalists and many new
aud rich sections are being opened
up there. One of these is Ash Mead
ows. Ash Meadows is over forty
five miles across the desert from
Oasis and Oasis is about twenty-fv "
miles from T~horpe's Wells. At Ash
Meadows there is a series Of springs,
the water from which flows down and
covers quite an area of ground. which
has a growth of water grass and
small bushes.
In an interesting article in the
Mining and Engineering Review last
Saturday, a correspondent gave an
account of a trip into the Death Val
ley region. He wrote in part as fol-
lows:
Il went into this country in order
to secure some lead-silver mires. sit
uated near good Springs, about fifty
miles south of east from Winters
ranch in Pahrump Valley. Our
route from Ash Meadows was to the
southeast over the range OF noun
tains forming the divide between
Pahrump and Ash Meadows. When
on the summit Of this range one sees
in the distance what seems to be- a
black spot on the gray desert. This
is Winters ranch, situated near the
north end of Pahrump Valley. 1t
was a delightful spot after a journey
OF 26O miles yer so parched and
a desolate a wilderness. At the
ranch a large spring supplies
considerable water for irrigation.
"Six miles south of Winters ranch
was the Yount ranch. Here we
learned that a mining man from Salt
Lake, named Campbell, was ten days
ahead of us and had bonded and 10.

deposits that We we're after, so that
our journey vas in vain.
"On returning to Winters ranch
we learned that q shipment OF ore had
been made to Daggett by a Mr..
Towner from mines he had discovered
some twenty milos in a northeasterly
direction.
'"Towner had a little ranch on In
dian Creek at the north end of Vel
low Pine mountain, to which there is
a good wagon road built for the gov
ernment by Lieutenant Wheeler of
the United States Army, after whom
the highest point in the Yellow Pines
was called Wheeler Peak.
We started out with Towner to
look at his mines and Travelled north
from bis ranch. The claims we're
located on the northern slope of the
range running west to Ash Meadows.
He had exposed the apex of a number
of parallel veins, varying in width
from a few inches to three feet. The
largest vein haG a slight dip and
seemed well in place to a depth of
six Or eight feet. AT lowest develop

quartz, carrying a trace OF free gold
