in order that the structure may be in
readiness for traffic by the time the
rails are laid to the camp. The freight
department is now preparing to take
possession of it's quarters and expects
to be installed early next week. This
will do away with the Inconvenience
experienced both by the Office force
and the public under the old plan. The
congestion of freight at this point is
being greatly relieved augc within a
short time now will be al thing of the
past This fact applies particularly to
the handling Of perishabie goods.
The motive power fer the new line
is adj in readiness at Sparks and is
as modern and speedy as that in opera
ton on any railway in the country.
For freight purposes 100 ton engines
will be utilized and for passenger traf-
fc locomotives of 80 tons will be used.
Fifteen engines will be employed for
the purpose of moving trains, includ-
ing those utilized for switching pur-
poses. No schedules have yet been
announced, nor either passenger or
freight rates; but it is un-
derstood that they will be within

change from the conditions at present
in vogue between Reno and Goldfeld.
The train will consist of a baggage

Pullmansl and dining car, and win
steam direct from the Oakland mole

THE BuLLFRoG GOLD BAR.

A recent report from Mr.. Bedford,
in charge of affairs at the Gold Bar,
says they began drifting north and
south from the 150-foot point in the
main shaft ten days ago. The south
drift is all in ore. They are running
on the hanging side, the wall being 50
clean and perfectly defined hat it
looks as though it would go down 1000
feet.
This is the deepest (150 feet) point
yet reached in the new district. The
management is now satisfied that the
values 60 down. sruasoutfing VII ~
gin at once. At the surface the ledge
is IL to rs feet wide. Should this
width hold at the present depth and
the values continue the same, the Gold
Bar will make the greatest gold mine
in southern Nevada.

II JANUARY.

A six inch streak of suiphide ore
has been opened up in the bottom, or
280-foot level, of the January claim of
the Goldfeld Mining company. The
streak was encountered about 10 feet
west of tho station at that point and
returns gold assays running from $3.50
to 5000 to the ton, and about 6 per
cent in copper. The exploiting of the
vein is now on, but has not yet pro-
crossed sufficiently to determine its
probable extent or permanent values.
Indications are very encouraging, how
ever, and the management believe it
will prove up. The upper workings OF
the property are all looking well and
values are being maintained.

ANOTHER DESERT BONANZA

It is no easy matter TO keep track, of all the nw finds, OF the lev
camps thar are being opened up in southwestern Nevada these days
but that they are being discovered right along there is no question A
prominent mining engineer of large experience stated last winter in an
interview published in the News, that there was a mine II two in every
knoll Or ridge in this section of the state, and his prediction is being
borne out. #~@##
The latest to attract the attention of the mining men of this dis
trct is Camp Wellington, stuAted some twenty seven miles east Of
Goldfeld and almost sever miles from the fourishing camp of Gold
Crater. Late last fall Thomas F. O'Brien and Jack Bayman found
rich float rock in this district and staked out a group of claims, doing
location work, surveying and recording. Early this spring they began
a systematic search along the outcrop of the vein for the point from
which the rich float had been broken. After several weeks OF pros
pecting they were rewarded by finding places that panned well, and
that asayed close to $4,000. At 10 point had they reached a depth to
exceed eight feet yet they were confronted with the fact that tt sue
cessfuly develop and operate their properties it would require a con-
siderable amount OF capital to sink shafts and equip with the necessa
~ hosting machinery About this time the attention of Samuel G.
Knott, an experienced mining man of Colorado, was brought to the
properties, who, after a thorough examination. advised the purchase

today is the scene of great activity in a mining way. The showing Oh
tanned by the several companies operating at this place are second to
none in southwestern Nevada aen Knott saw a good thing in these
prospects and immediately interested "a few of his friends, who organ
lied two companies for tue purpose of developing their holdings One
has been named the Wellington Gddheld Mining company with ". W.

getting depth. and two shafts VI now being sunk. One has already
reached a depth of 100 feet, the other so feet Machinery for hosting
has been ordered and is on the road for the equipment of both
shafts, and it will be only a few weeks before Wellington will be put
ting on an aspect BETTING a much older camp An extensive scale of
development work is planned with plenty Of funds o hand to carry
them out. Already the most sanguine hopes of the management have
been realized, IS in their shaft work ore of a good shipping grade has

Specimens of the surfsee quartz we're shown around town the early
part of the week which were very literally supplied with the yellow
metal and assays away up in the thousands have been obtained from
this grade of ore. Wellington is a very near neghbor Of Goldfeld and
will be tributary to or city for all time.

STRIKE ON LUCKY BILL LEASE.

A strike of 5000 ore was made yesterday on the Lucky Bill
lease on the Alhambra claim of the Talmage Gold Mines com
pany. The property is located on indicator mountain two
miles east of Goldfeld, and the owning company is composed
almost entirely of Colorado Mining and business men. An in
cline has been sunk to a depth of 80 feet at which point the
vein dipped out of the shaft. A station was then cut and a
crosscut started which resulted in the relocating of the vein
within a distance of ten feet. The work Of proving up the
ore is now being prosecuted with the most encouraging results
and the indications are bright for a large and permanent body
of high grade mineral. The vein is showing clearly for a width
Of two and one-half feet and contains 10 inches of blue quartz
which averages 5000 to the ton. This rich streak is being
sacked and a trial shipment is to be made in the near future.
The lease has a year to run from the first of the present month
and is being operated by William o. Robe and associates. Mr..
Robe feels sanguine that the shoot will prove both large and
rich and that it will be a money maker for both he and his
associates. Mr.. Robe is also general manager of the proper
ties of the Talmage Gold Mines company, and in speaking
of the property in general, stated that it was the intention
to thoroughly exploit them in the near future. c. w. Hays,
of Colorado Springs, is president of the company and will ar
rive in the camp early next week for the purpose of investigat-
in conditions. Immediately thereafter active development work
will be commenced. Operations will probably be confined at
first to the Gold King lode where surface indications presage
the presence of rich gold values.

COssER AND TERRIL LEASE.

A strike of 5000 ore is reported on the Cosser & Terrill
lease on the Hat claim of the Blue Bull company. The find
was made in the drift from the fifty foot level on lease No. 9.
The rich streak is said to be about eighteen inches in width
and to return shipping values in the sum mentioned Coaser
& Terri1l have been working the property for several months
and have opened a number of good ore bodies, but the present
find is by far the most important made by them. In the work
ings on lease No. l, a promising vein was encountered but it
soon took an extreme dip and it was decided to sink another
shaft on the adjoining block of ground for the purpose of
again gaining contact with it. The success of their efforts in
that direction is made manifest in the strike announced yes
terday.

NIGHT-HAWK.

The two leases on the property of
the Night-Hawk company on the east
side of Columbia mountain are both
hooking well and the indications for
the striking of pay values are increas-
ing with zach round of shots. Two cross
cuts are being driven from the bottom
of the 90-foot shaft on the East Side

tact with the junction of two veins.
Increased values of assays Indicate
that the objective point is being APP
preached and it is believed that when
it is reached shipping values win lie

ore IN now showing, which resembles
in appearance that being mined in the
Florence.
A drift is being run both ways onsthe,
vein at a depth of 70 feet on the In
ciiaa shaft of the lease on the Night
Hawk. The ore body is heavily preg-
mated with sulphides and returns fair

values are enhancing rapidly as work

RED TOP.

A strike of Importance has been made in the Mernardi
lease on the Red Top, ITO feet south of the level at the 100
foot point. A crOsscut was driven west twenty feet on the i'm
mense dyke of milling ore and a large body of sulphide ore
encountered. Exhaustive assays have been made which show
that the values run from $500 to $3.50 to the ton. The width
or extent of the shoot have not as yet been determined, but
the development work to that end is now in progress. The
general characteristics of the ore, however, denote continuity
and the lessees are of the opinion that the shoot will hold out
with depth.

NEVADA E BEE.

A good strike has been made in the Diamond Special lode
of the Nevada Queen Bee Mining company. The new find
was made at a depth of IS feet and returns assays running in
value from 5000 to 5000 in gold to the ton. On a seam of this
ore two feet in width average assays were received the first
of the week of better than $500 to the ton. The work of ex-
plotting the strike is now in progress but has not yet been
prosecuted sufficiently to determine the extent Of the shoot.
Indications, however, give rise to the surmise that it will be
found to be Of good proportions anG of high grade values. A
small trial shipment has been sent to the Selby Smelter, but
returns have not yet been received at the mine. The prop
erty is close to the Desert Rose and Sandstone.

THE SANDSTONE.

On Sandstone No. 6 last night they
raised into a new body of ore-big ore
that is literally alive with gold. The
shots of the night shift broke down
nearly a car load. 1t is the full width
of the upraise. They are breaking the
ground as wide as possible and crowding
in every possible man. Three shifts
are running at every point. The lease
closes twelve days from this, and ev-
cry moment is Of value. Even in
that period there is time to take out

REILLY LEASE.

In two and a half months the Reilly lease on the Florence
expires, and in the interim every effort is being put forth to
market every ton of ore possible. The Reilly lease is beyond
question one of the best on the property and it is probable
that better values are being obtained than in any other por-
ton of the territory. The ore returns average values of 5000
to the ton and there is an immense body of it. The high grade
is now being sacked at the rate of fifty tons per day and there
is now piled upon the dump awaiting shipment, ore of an ag-
gregate value Of over 10000. A force of nearly one hundred
men is employed and additional miners are being put on as
rapidly as they can be used 70 advantage. 1t is the lessees
intention to market as much ore as possible before the expra-
ton of his lease and to that end he is utilizing every man that
room can be made for. AS an incentive for his employees to
put forth their best efforts in his behalf, he has raised their
pay fifty cents a day, starting from the first of August. The
mel on the lease are now drawing SIS daily the best wages paid
in the camp on that character of work. 1t is estimated that
Reilly will market something like $500, 900 worth of ore before
the lease expires.

ATLANTA.

The work of exploiting the holdings
Of the Atlanta company is being prose

with the most encouraging results. All
of the leases are looking well and indi-

The Jones lease is, perhaps, the most
promising of all, and the work of open
ing up the orc body is being pushed.
In the drift at the 50-foot level a vein
six feet in width has been encountered
On which assays are being received
ranging in value from 800 to $500 in
gold to the ton. All of the stuff pans
well, but no shipping ore has yet been
mined. AS work progresses, however,
values are becoming more stable and
the indications for opening up a perma-
emit ore body brighter.
