FOUND WATER
Good Supply Tapped in Southern
Camp

A Tonopah dispatch says: The future
of Kawicn is now assured. A copious
supply of water was uncovered in the
very heart of the camp today and this
question which at first threatened to
jeoparize the future of what will be-
come one of the greatest mining camps
In Nevada is now solved.
There is much rejoicing in the new
camp according to reports received from
there today.
For some time past the work of boring
wells has been IN progress. The first
indications were struck a few days ago
and hope increased until the elimination
today. This discovery means the es-
tabiishing of mills here and the opening
up of a great camp that will help con-
tribute to the wealth OF the southern
portion of Nevada.

Mr.. ]. E. Thornton called at the Sill

when questioned regarding his reported

Them were an old saddle and remnants of
shoes that must once have been worn by
the persons whose bones were left to

"On the day following, at about the
same distance. but on the other side OF
Unionville. found another skeleton. In
this case there were no bits of clothing
or other relics scattered near.
II did not bury or disturb these un-

ANOTHER MINING DEAL
Prospects in GoIconda Mining
Districts Change Hands

A mining deal of considerable impor-
tance has been recently made in Golcon-
da. John A. Etchart, John A. Comes
and E. l.. Labadie have sold to French
corporation six valuable claims consti-
tuting the Honolulu group near the old
Golconda mine and about one-half mile
south of the Rock Creek ranch of the
Golconda Cattle Co.
This is one of the largest mining deals
made In Humboldt county In the past
decade and 1t is absolutely impossible to
County Surveyor Newly has been en-
gagged for seevral days In surveying
these claims and he seems to think this
is one of the best propositions he has
seen in the county. He says he saw be-
tween ESQ and 300 tons Of ore on the
dumps which will run high in god, sill
yer and copper. This ore was taken from
three shafts, the deepest of which is go
feet and each one has been sunk through
paying ore from the grass roots and eaca
one shows ore bodies at the bottom of
the shaft.
These gentlemen are well-known busi-
ness men of Golconda who have never
lost faith in her prosperity and have
stayed with the town and surrounding
country through evil and good report.
They have not failed to contribute Of
their time and means to develop the
country and are sincerely congratulated
on their success. 1t is not necessary to
go to Tonopah am Goldfeld to find min
erai bodies. Try the mountains of Hum

and good heath and where there are

ground in Spring Valley canyon. The
property is now in charge of George w.

with his wife and daughter to superinteno
the mines. Mrs. Dyke and her daughter
are now visiting the coast. The Federal

The Federal Company will spend S7s.Vo0

mineral resources that when developed
will make the southern mining boom look
like three dimes.

QUARTZ PROSPECTS.
Hutton and Wenzel of San Francisco
have bonded and are developing a mine
owned by old man Figg and are shipping
ore for reduction. They ran through the
ledge at a depth of about rs feet, but
struck 1t again richer than ever at about
so feet in depth. The Iron Hill mine,
owned by Bartdelt and Cook, is another
property and is being developed. by Drawn

old sturdy miners, without means, but
possessed of pluck and an inexhastable
stock of hope. Castle, Lynch and Ducell
own a mine that was located about six
months ago and are running an araster
and are taking out money enough to pay
their way and lay little away every
month to be useo in putting up a mill
when the fund grows to it. There are
several other promising prospects in this
