and Morris group of claims on 30.
nanza Mountain, in the Bullfrog min.
ing district. In the ridiculously
short time that the Bullfrog district
has occupied the eyes of the world,
values have been found in that
region that have caused the pros
pector and miner to gasp, the world
to smile its unbelief; yet discovery
followed discovery, and the facts
found to exist in that fabulouslv rich
region by incredulous experts have
come rather reluctantly from these
gentlemen, who were in no wise pre-
pared to meet such unprecedented
conditions. The whole of Bonanza

AS announced in the BONANZA, two
weeks ago, Vim. Forman, one of Mis-.
sourls most prominent citizens and
brother of S, D. and j. II. Forman of
this city, will make Tonopah his future
home. In speaking of his departure,
the Morgan County Democrat, of
Versailles, Mo, his home town, refers
to the esteem in which he is held by
his fellow citizens, and the regret at
his leave taking, as follows:
Attorney VIM. Forman arrived
home on Thursday Of last week, from
several weeks visit with his brothers
located at Tonopah, Nevada. the
great gold field Of the west. Mr..
Forman was so favorably impressed
with the new country that he at once
decided to close up his business
affairs here and become a resident of
T%onopah. This decision was aug.
mented by his brothers who held out
iiatterlng inducements to be sure he
would accept, and about the first of
June he will start for his new Nevada
home.
Our citizens with n accord re-
greet to sec Attorney Forman leave
Versailles to become a resident Of
another community. Men of his pro.
f%essional ability are hard to replace.
He has been an active member of the
Morgan county bar about fifteen
years and is one of the ablest lawyers
in this section of the state. He
served two terms as mayor of this
city, his last term having expired
only a few weeks before making his
visit to Nevada.
TN his official capacity he served
the city with that intelligence and
integrity which not only reflected
credit upon himself as a public ser.
want, but redounded to the best in.
t@erests Of the city. BY his departure
Versailles will lose one of her best
public men, while Tonopah will be the
gamer, as his progressive spirit will
not be long in asserting itself. He
not only succeeded here in a pro-
fessionai way, bu. as a side issue has
built up an enyiable reputation as d
breeder of fine hogs, his famous
Berkshire pens being known in all
parts of the United States.
Mr.. Forman will follow his legal
profession in his new home, and the
general works of his law library will
be retained and taken with him.
THE good wishes of this com.
munity so with Attorney Forman to
his new home and all can commend
him to the people of Tonopah as a
worthy and desirable citizen. Mr..
Forman's family will remain in Yer.
sailles for the present, but will pos.
sibly follow him after he becomes
settled in business at his new loca.

VIEWS OF
HON. SAM PLATT
Speaker of Assembly Says TOnO-
pah Has Mines of Great
Wealth and is a Per
manent Camp.

Hon. Sam Platt, Speaker Of the
Assembly and one of Nevada's bright
est legal minds, who recently spent
several days in camp, was inter-
viewed by the Carson News upon his
return to the Capital city and gave
u|tterance to the following truths
anent this section of Nevada
THE town Of Tonopah is unques.
tionably a permanent mining camp
with mines of great wealth. 1t has
settled down to a normal and pros.
porous condition and its people are
contented and generally well TODD.
Business men there are all doing well
and large stone and brick business
blocks are being built. The best Of
reports come from the important
mines and Carson people who have
investments in legitimate properties
there ought to realize handsomely.
Recently there has been a large out.
iuX Of people for the new mining
camps in and about Bullfrog. The
auto ride to Beatty, about four miles
this side OF Bullfrog, is "a pleasure
trip-when the auto runs. The dis
lance from Goldfield to Bullfrog over
the auto road, is seventy one miles,
and the fare each way is twenty-five
dollars. Our actual running time
was three hours and a half. With a
good pair of glasses, plenty of nerve,
and a fair constitution nobody need
hesitate about going to Bullfrog in an
auto. The towns of Bullfrog, Rhyo-
lite, Beatty and Squatterville are
located within a radius Of about five
miles, and the greatest Of rivalry ex-
lists among them. The town Of Beatty
has the preferable site. IL is ideally
situated and water is plentiful.
Wagons running from Beatty to
Rhyolite bear large signs Free
water at Beatty Where tins vast
trend of wealth will stop is a mystery
but from my personal observations |
am satisfied that the southern
country is everything claimed for it
and that the future of Nevada is
brighter now than ever before IN its
history

.China ia, Strikes IT.

Last week we referred briefly to
the fact that China Ed. d China.
man, had uncovered a ledge over 100
feet wide, which would assay from IS
to $31 to the ton, near DeLamar.
The DeLamar Lode in its last issue
had the following article giving the
particulars of the find. which will
prove interesting to our readers
The Monitor group Of mining claims,
owned by "Chiua Ed of this place,
was visited by a Lode representative
a few days ago. Here is. without
doubt, the largest ledge of gold. bear.
ing ore in the world. The ledge is
1865 feet IN width and has been traced
for over "a mile in Ieugth. The surface
across the entire width Of the lead
ASSAYS from 81 TO So. At a depth of
20 feet, in a cross cut 30 feet long,
the assays run from IS to $3.50 to the
ton, The owners are cross cutting
the lead and taking sample ASSAYS
every foot. The returns from these
assays are so favorable that sinking
on the shaft is to be resumed at once
and it is thought by tie time a depth
of fifty feet has been attained they
will be taking out shipping ore. This
mine is located at a distance of only
fifteen miles from the Salt Lake and
Los Angeles railroad, and a wagon
road a be constructed at a nominal
cost, There is no doubt but this
mine will create a stir in mining
circles as oon as the immensely Of
its ore deposits become more gen.
orally known.

During the last summer Mr.. Eaton &C
companied Count Ernest Bernstr ron and
his son Arthur on an extended hunting
trip through the Flathead country. and as
the Count wanted to secure pair Of buffalo
heads to take to his home at Ouaden Schoen-
field, near WiesbAden, Germany, Mr. Eaton
sold him two buffaloes from his bunch on
the reservation, and the Count and his son
had the pleasure Of stalking them for
day OF two before they got a good chance
to shoot them, even at long range.
Bufsloes are now worth $1,000 a pair,
bull and COW, and in few years will be
hard TO get at any price.
In speaking Of the breeding Of these
animals, Mr.. Eaton says that the bunch
on the reservation produced siXty-si1
calves in 1904 and ifty-hve in 1908. He sold
the Government a herd Of twenty in
October. 1902. two bulls and eighteen COWS,
for the Yellowstone Park and they have
now in two years, increased 10 forty.
The mixed breeds, Of which Pablo has
quite a number, crossed With polled Angus
cattle, are easily distinguished by the length
ened tail finer hair in the coat, and the hair
on the fore legs is shorter. On the full
blood, the hair hangs from the knees almost
to the ankle. while il Ia much shorter on
the mixed breeds. The buffalo will feed
with his head against the wind, being 30
well protected by the shaggy coat around
the shoulders, but the mixed breeds are in
clined TO turn their tail toward the wind
like common cattle.
Pablo. the owner Of the great herd, is Of
mixed blood, and a direct descendant Of
some Of the early Hudson Bay trappers.
He Ia about oS years old, has a family Of
several children and Is worth at least $500, =
900, half Of it being in cash. While un-
educated, Pablo is, nevertheless. very
shrewd. ond one OF the finest men In the
Flathead country.
